Offshore workers encounter potentially hazardous circumstances on a daily basis. The equipment and machinery that maritime workers handle is complicated, large, and commonly causes injuries.
A crush injury is characterized by a part of the body being placed under a great amount of force or pressure. This can happen when an arm, for example, is squeezed between two objects. Crush injuries can result in broken bones, bleeding, bruising, lacerations, and possibly even compartment syndrome. A minor crush injury may involve only a finger or toe. A major crush injury may result in severe nerve, muscle, or even internal organ damage.
