Let’s see some of the most common type of Industrial accidents.

i) Slips and Falls:

It is One of the most common type of accident in an industry.

Workers have to move with or carry heavy loads from one place to another.

Due to oil spill on the way or wet staircases the workers slip and injure themselves.

Sometimes, due to lack of training or lack of non-slip foot-ware is also the cause of injury.

ii) From falling objects:

In many industries, workers and engineers have to work at a great height and handle heavy machines.

There is always a possibility of falling objects.

Sometimes, the objects are not placed properly  or placed on high shelves can also be a cause of severe injury.

So, falling objects from a great height can also injure or lead to casualty.

iii) Pipe Burst:

Pipelines are commonly used in industries to transport liquid and gas.

Moreover, It is fast, cheap and easiest mode of transport.

But, sometimes due to poor maintenance, or high pressure, it bursts.

Seeping of poisonous gas into the air, kills many people working in the industry and nearby areas.

Therefore, chemical explosion due to reaction causes serious industrial disasters.
