Machine Injury Attorneys
Safeguards are essential to protect workers from these preventable injuries. Any machine part, function, or process that can cause injury must be safeguarded. These hazards must be eliminated or controlled. If you were injured at work, speak with our St. Louis product liability attorneys at The Simon Law Firm, P.C.
Moving machine parts can cause severe workplace injuries including:
- Crushed fingers or hands
- Amputations
- Burns
- Blindness
- Death
National Machine Accident Attorneys
Machine-related injuries are very common, but these accidents can be prevented. There are safety rules about machine guarding mandated by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). Unfortunately, these rules are often ignored, exposing workers to life-threatening dangers. In fact, failing to properly guard machines is one of the top 10 reasons that employers are cited for OSHA violations.
What is Machine Guarding?
OSHA requires a shield or device to cover hazardous areas of a machine. This shield is designed to prevent contact with body parts. It also helps to control hazards associated with these machines, including flying wood or metal chips and loud, ear-damaging noise.
If not properly guarded, machines such as those listed below can cause severe crushing or amputation injuries:
- Guillotine cutters
- Bailers
- Alligator shears and other types of shears
- Power presses
- Mill machinery
- Various handheld power tools
- Power saws
- Jointers
- Forming rolls and calendars
- Shredders
