Being struck by a falling object, or experiencing dangerous contact with a piece of equipment accounts for 22.2% of all workplace injury claims. These instances can have the potential to result in a serious injury and put employees in significant danger. In fact, in the logging industry, the majority of fatal injuries occurred due to employees being struck by a falling object.
