Many types of equipment and machinery can be very dangerous, and workers in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and mining can easily be injured by accidents, malfunctioning equipment, and inadequate training.

Employers are required by law (through OSHA) to take the necessary measures to ensure your safety while using and working around equipment and machinery. They must provide protection, assistance, and proper training to minimize the occurrence of accidents. Ensuring that equipment and machinery is properly inspected and in good working order, and providing protective gear such as goggles, helps prevent thousands of injuries each year.
