Crush injuries don’t always happen in “big factory” headlines. In the Flowery Branch region, they commonly occur in:
- Warehouses and distribution setups supporting retail and regional supply chains
- Manufacturing environments where workers handle metal parts, pallets, or machine-fed components
- Construction and staging areas involving lifting, hoisting, temporary barriers, or equipment movement
- Vehicle-and-material interactions during loading/unloading where a worker can be pinned between a moving load and a fixed structure
Because these incidents are often tied to safety systems—guards, interlocks, lockout/tagout practices, maintenance schedules, and operator training—the “who’s at fault” question can be more complicated than a typical slip-and-fall.
