4 Preventing personal injury
Read this article from a safety manual. Find words from Exercise 2 that describe body parts and injuries.
There are five common kinds of injury on vessels:
1) Seafarers sometimes break their arms and legs when they slip or fall. These accidents happen when they don't wear safety boots or when decks are wet and oily. Seafarers also fall when ladders are not secure. To prevent broken arms and legs, it is important to wear safety boots.
2) Seafarers sometimes strain their backs when they lift heavy objects. Back strain
usually happens when seafarers lift objects alone or when they don't use lifting equipment properly. To prevent back strain, it is important to lift properly.
3) Seafarers sometimes suffer from burns when there is a fire, explosion or chemical spill.
Seafarers need to be careful when they smoke or when they work with chemicals. To prevent burns, it is important to obey "No Smoking" signs and to handle chemical cargos safely.
4) Seafarers sometimes suffer from cuts. They
often cut their fingers when they are careless with sharp machinery. To prevent cuts, it is important to use safety guards and to wear gloves.
5) Seafarers sometimes injure their eyes when they work with machinery. Dust, sparks, and chemicals are very
dangerous when they enter the eye. To prevent eye injuries, it is important to wear protective goggles.
