Machinery accidents are common in industries where large machines are operated by workers. Factories where dangerous machines are used on a daily basis are more prone to cause serious injuries if correct safety measures are not adhered to.
It is a duty of employers to provide a safe working environment, proper training, protective clothing or accessories to employees to minimise the risks of accidents at work. If any of the above are not provided or inadequate resulting in an injury, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Injuries caused by machinery accidents are countless which include eye injury, nerve damage, fractures, amputation, lung diseases, brain injury, burns, scarring, and others.
