Power Tool Injuries
Workers in production and construction sites may be required to use power tools and heavy machinery on a daily basis. In some cases, such equipment may have dangerous edges and moving parts that can cause serious harm to individuals who are not properly trained in the use and function of the machinery.
It is the responsibility of employers and supervisors to make sure their employees have the proper tools and skills to perform the duties expected of them. If an employee is injured while using tools on the job, he or she may be eligible for compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and other expenses during treatment and recovery.
