Less common but more severe claims can include crush injuries from malfunctioning machinery or forklift accidents in the warehouse.
Safety & Loss Prevention
- Implement ergonomic workstations and lifting aids to reduce musculoskeletal strain during assembly and material handling.
- Ensure all machinery has proper guarding and employees receive thorough training on lockout/tagout procedures before maintenance.

- Regularly inspect and maintain all manufacturing equipment, including forklifts and conveyors, to prevent mechanical failures.
