Cuts and lacerations are another danger that should be accounted for when working with dangerous machinery. All employees must be trained in the proper safety precautions and emergency procedure to follow in the case of an accident occurring. When heavy machinery is in use in tight spaces there is also the risk of crushed bones. This can occur when someone is pinned between the machinery and another object.
