Engineering & Manufacturing

There are literally thousands of reported accidents every year in small engineering workshops and manufacturing sites.

Almost two thirds of these accidents involve the movement of people, good of vehicles into and around workshop premises. In fact 50% involve lifting and moving goods and 50% involve slips, trips and falls and hitting stationary or moving plant equipment.

Non movement accidents usually involve the use of machinery and these account for around 15% of the total accidents reported.

The most common occupational diseases are dermatitis, deafness, asthma and vibration white finger, and back, hand, arm, shoulder and neck problems.
