Temporary Staffing – General Equipment Injuries
From forklifts in warehouses to chainsaws in tree trimming, workers in all types of industries use some kind of equipment. When equipment and machinery like these are used correctly, workers can safely and efficiently get the job done. However, workplace equipment and machinery can also lead to deadly accidents, especially if proper safety procedures aren’t followed.
Machinery Risks in Temporary Staffing
Machinery mishaps are an especially big challenge for workers in the temporary staffing industry, who may not receive the necessary safety training.
This increases their risk of equipment-related injuries, including:
- Lacerations
- Broken bones
- Crushed fingers or limbs
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Electrical burns
- Traumatic amputations
In many situations, injuries caused by heavy machinery cause permanent damage. For example, a temporary worker could lose an arm in an accident with fast-moving machinery or suffer brain damage from a traumatic brain injury after a fall from a forklift.
Finding Workers’ Compensation Coverage for Machinery Accidents
With machinery risks like these, you need strong Workers’ Compensation coverage to protect your temporary staffing employees—and to protect your business from accident-related complications like fines, raised premiums, or lapsed Workers’ Compensation coverage. However, risks like these also make temporary staffing a “high-risk” industry, which can mean complications like high premiums and limited coverage options.
