SERIOUS AND FATAL WORKPLACE INJURIES - WARNING: Graphic Content


1. Eye injury
While using the grinder in the workshop, a worker had one of the loose metal fibres lodged in his eyeball.

           ....this would have been prevented with the use of a eye goggle













2.Fatal head injury
While roof work was ongoing, one of the tiles fell off...

...and landed on the head of one of the workers. The outcome was a fatal head injury!

                                                                  A Hard Hat would have prevented this fatality.



3. Lathe accident

While working on a lathe, the operator wore loose fitting clothes...he was drawn in and the outcome was gruesome.


                           This would have been prevented if he wore a proper fitting overall.


Every accident - if it is predictable, then it is preventable.
