The Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that there were approximately 2.8 million workplace injuries and illnesses during the latest reporting year. While most of these injuries are relatively minor, thousands of workers suffer from amputations each year due to workplace incidents.
Amputations are some of the most serious workplace injuries. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), these injuries are most common when workers operate unguarded or inadequately safeguarded mechanical equipment. This can include:
OSHA says that non-powered devices such as saws, shears, and splitters often cause amputations. These injuries can also occur when handling materials, in-vehicle crashes, with trash compactors, and more.
Amputations can be complete or partial. A complete amputation is the total loss of a limb from the body. A partial amputation results in some bone, tissue, muscle keeping the amputated limb attached to a person’s body.
These injuries can be “clean,” meaning the incident itself takes the limb completely off without damaging the surrounding areas very much. Amputations are also often necessary after a crush injury that damages a limb beyond repair.
Amputations will almost always impact a person’s ability to live their lives the way they are accustomed to. In many cases, a person will be able to function with a prosthetic, but they may not be able to return to the same kind of work they were accustomed to. In many cases, modifications to a vehicle or home are necessary to aid in mobility. Amputees also suffer from emotional and psychological damages.
