    Mechanical hazards arise from relative movements between parts of the human body and work equipment or objects that can lead to contact. Examples include crushing from objects moving toward each other or one object moving toward another stationary object, stabbing and puncturing from sharp corners, points or tines, cutting hazards from knives that can continue moving after power is disconnected and sever limbs or digits, and entanglement in machinery like water turbines, combustion engines, wind turbines and gas turbines.

    HAZARD

    what is Mechanical
    Hazard?
    arise from relative
    movements between parts of
    the human body and objects
    such as work equipment or
    work objects, which lead to
    their contact.
    examples

    Crushing
    Crush points exist when two objects move toward
    each other, or when one object moves toward a
    stationary object.

    Stabbing and puncture


    Cutting
    hazards
    Knives may still move for some
    Sharp corners, points and time after power has been
    tines can cause injury disconnected. Moving knives can
    cut or sever limbs, hands, feet or
    digits.

    Entangled
    Every year people are killed or severely injured by
    becoming entangled in power machinery such as
    water turbines, combustion engines, wind turbines
    and gas turbines.
