Accidents in the workplace can have devastating consequences, resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities. Every year, thousands of workers across mines, factories, construction sites, and various other work environments experience serious harm due to mishaps.
Common causes of workplace injuries include accidents involving falling objects, falls from elevated structures or equipment, highway incidents, and mishaps with machinery and vehicles. Additionally, hazards such as electrocution, carbon monoxide exposure, and trench collapses pose significant risks to workers’ safety.
