An industrial accident occurs when a victim is injured during the course of their work. While work-related accidents are often related to construction accidents, factory accidents, and the like, industrial accidents can happen to anyone in any profession. In fact, a wide range of industrial accidents occur to victims every year due to a myriad of causes. The consistent factor between the many types of industrial accidents that occur involves employers owing their employees an obligation to provide them with a safe working environment. However, that isn’t always the case, which can result in serious injuries, and sometimes even death.

What Causes Industrial Accidents?
There are many potential causes of an industrial accident, including:
Equipment failure or malfunction
Defects in an industrial machine can arise due to a number of factors, including design flaw, manufacturer flaw, or wear and tear from use. Although inspections are performed regularly, including before and after use, accidents still can result from faulty or malfunctioning components.
Human error
Human error can happen due to mechanics, ground crew, flight attendants, air traffic controllers, and others as these individuals play a crucial role in the maintenance and safe operation of an aircraft. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pays close attention to the training, knowledge and communication to determine if human error may be the cause of an airplane accident.
Weather conditions
Weather conditions such as fog or wind can lead to dangerous situations that may result in an industrial accident. This is especially true when working with heavy machinery such as cranes and forklifts.
Dangerous cargo
Dangerous cargo can lead to injuries if not handled properly by workers at a facility. For example, fuel spills have led to fires that have caused serious injuries among workers at facilities where they handle hazardous materials on a regular basis.
Slips and falls
Falls are one of the most common types of accidents that occur on construction sites because there is often heavy equipment being moved around on uneven surfaces which creates slippery conditions that could lead to falls.
Failure to properly secure equipment
One of the most common causes of accidents in factories and other industrial settings is when equipment isn’t properly secured. This can result in serious injuries, including but not limited to amputation and death.
Improperly trained employees
Employers must train their employees on how to use their equipment safely and effectively. If an employee isn’t properly trained, they may not know how to use the equipment correctly, which can result in serious injuries or death.
Lack of safety precautions
Employers must take all necessary precautions to ensure that their employees are safe while working at their facilities. If they fail to do so, they could be held liable for any injuries that occur as a result of this negligence.
Taking shortcuts
It is no secret that everyone wants to get things done faster. However, this isn’t always the best solution, as taking shortcuts can result in extreme risks. When someone takes a shortcut in the workplace that results in you being injured, the employer must be investigated to determine whether they are at fault.

Industrial accidents can be prevented; it is an employer’s responsibility to provide a safe and secure working environment for its employees. But when an injury occurs due to an industrial accident in the workplace, there is no guarantee that an employer will look out for the best interests of the injured employee as opposed to putting the company first. If you have been injured in the workplace, it is imperative that you contact an attorney who specializes in industrial accidents and workplace-related injuries.
