What Occupations Are at Risk for Explosion and Burn Injuries?
Workplace accidents commonly involve wet floors and employees who slip and fall. However, there are even more damaging incidents that can occur, especially in various occupations. These accidents often include explosion and burn injuries, both of which can result in life-changing damages both physically and emotionally.
Some occupations are more at risk for these types of accidents than others, including the following:
Oil Rig Workers
Most people know about oil rigs, but they may not be aware of the many dangers that exist for the workers. There have been numerous accidents and incidents in the past in which oil rigs experienced complications and resulted in a refinery explosion. Due to the elements on the rig, this can be very dangerous, with the workers being exposed to serious burn injuries and other internal damage.
Construction Workers
Construction workers are not just dealing with heavy machinery and wood, they’re also working around a lot of electricity and sometimes combustible elements. If anything goes wrong, it can cause an electric shock — a common cause of static burn injuries — or some form of explosion. Injuries from job site electrocutions are a high risk in this type of job which requires extra safety precautions to keep the workers safe.
Plant Workers
Some plants deal with a wide variety of chemicals and combustible elements, all of which, if mishandled, can cause serious harm to anyone exposed. Chemical burns are some of the most common in industrial occupations, but some of these chemicals are also flammable, which can cause an explosion and result in blast injuries. Plant workers are vulnerable to the dangers of gas explosion on a daily basis.
