Caught-Between Hazards in Construction Picture This

The worker appears to be caught between a heavy wooden pallet and a solid structure, possibly experiencing a crush injury. His arm and chest are pinned, and he’s visibly in pain, indicating he may have been handling the load improperly or working too close to moving equipment or unsecured materials. This situation reflects poor hazard awareness and lack of control measures for caught-between risks on the job site.

Always assess the work area for potential pinch or crush points and maintain a safe distance from moving materials or machinery. Secure all objects properly to avoid unexpected shifts, and never place your body between a load and a fixed surface. Use mechanical lifting aids when handling heavy items and ensure workers are trained on recognizing and avoiding caught-between hazards during tasks.
