The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) says that amputation injuries are almost always preventable. When they occur, it is usually because workers operated unguarded or inadequately safeguarded mechanical equipment, including:
Non-powered devices like shears, splitters, and saws also cause amputations. Other common causes include vehicle accidents and moving heavy materials or equipment.
We know that workplace injuries are common. Out of the 2.8 million workplace injuries reported to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the latest year, thousands of people suffered from amputations in the workplace. We know that approximately one out of every 200 people suffers from amputation injuries.
There are various types of amputations that can occur in the workplace. Even when there is not an immediate loss of a limb in an incident, a worker can still lose an injured limb if the damage is beyond repair or infection sets in.
Amputation injuries are usually devastating for victims. Losing a limb is going to result in high costs, both economic and non-economic. The immediate medical expenses can reach not the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but amputees will likely require more extensive care:
In many cases, an amputee is not able to return to work. When they are able to work, it may not be at the same level as before. This can result in a loss of income and put victims in financial jeopardy.
