Industrial equipment plays a central role in manufacturing, construction, and other large-scale operations, powering the processes that keep industries moving. From heavy machinery used on job sites to precision manufacturing equipment in factories, these tools are essential. But when this equipment is defective, poorly maintained, used without proper guarding, or otherwise unreasonably dangerous, it can lead to serious harm. Our team at Marsh | Rickard | Bryan helps those injured by industrial accidents. If you’re want to learn how we can assist with your claim, contact us now.
Industrial Equipment
Industrial equipment serves as the backbone of manufacturing, construction, transportation, and energy production industries. Cranes, forklifts, CNC machines, conveyor belts and elevators, robotics, injection molding machines, and other equipment used in industrial settings make it possible to handle large-scale projects efficiently, speed up production times, and achieve high-quality results. But the size and power of such machines mean that they can cause harm if not handled properly.
These large-scale machines are often susceptible to equipment failure. To make sure that broken-down or defective machinery doesn’t harm workers, regular inspection and maintenance are vital. Preventive maintenance helps keep these machines in safe working condition and limits downtime and the risk of sudden failures. Also, proper machine guarding, like physical barriers, safety locks, and emergency shut-off systems, can protect operators of these machines from moving parts and other hazards that can cause damage. Companies should place priority on manufacturing equipment safety, making sure to provide adequate training so that workers know how to operate the machinery correctly and respond to potential malfunctions.
If an accident occurs while using such equipment—whether from defective parts, inadequate training, or lack of safety practices—it may result in serious injuries, including amputations, crush injuries, or even fatalities.
It’s important to work with attorneys who know how to handle these cases, as they can be very complex and require significant resources to pursue. We have been handling these types of cases since our firm’s inception over 25 years ago. We know how dangerous industrial settings can be, and companies must do everything in their power to avoid injuries happening on company property or while using the company’s machinery.
