Wound work related injuries include cuts,
punctures and other trauma to the skin and body
resulting in a tear to the skin. Wound
injuries can be serious needing stitches to close
the wound or minor and shallow. Wounds can
result in internal damage to tissue, bones and
organs needing surgical repair. They also can
result in infection from bacteria entering the wound
that were on the object creating the wound or from
exposure to airborne pathogens.
Significant wounds can cause the patient to go into
shock which requires immediate medical attention.
Wounds can also cause loss of blood which is a primary
cause of death from wounds. Pressure should be
applied to bleeding wounds. If the wound is
severe, it should be closed as well as possible and
pressure applied to restrict bleeding until emergency
medical help can arrive. This may involve
leaving the object causing the wound in the wound to
help stop the bleeding.
Any work related injury wound caused by an animal,
tool or other rusty or dirty object should be examined
by a physician as soon as possible.
