My grandfather was once hurt in the workplace. It was a farming accident. He was working in his late twenites on the farm and was wearing loose pants. When he was working over a PTO shaft (powers farm equitment). While working over it his pant leg got caught in the PTO shaft and he just about lost his life. He was able to grab onto a peice of the equitment but the PTO shaft took all of his clothes except for his boots. If he hadnt of grabbed onto something he would of died.
Some things that could pretevent injuries, accidents and death in the workplace could be:
1.Be aware of your surroundings e.g the equitment, the enviroment
2. Be aware of your clothing e.g loose clothing
3.Be aware of the equitment your using e.g is it broken in any way
4. Be aware of procedures e.g is there a main switch you should turn off, should you be wearing gloves
