Dock Worker Injuries

Dock worker injuries refer to accidents and health issues that occur among workers in shipping docks, where cargo is loaded and unloaded. Common injuries include strains from lifting heavy items, slips and falls due to wet surfaces, and injuries from machinery, such as forklifts. Dock workers are also exposed to harsh weather and potentially hazardous materials. Proper training, safety protocols, and protective equipment are crucial in minimizing these risks and ensuring worker safety in this physically demanding environment. Understanding these factors can help improve workplace safety and reduce the likelihood of injuries.
