Types of Workplace Burn Injuries

Workplace burn injuries can manifest in various forms, depending on the nature of the job and the specific hazards involved. Here are some common examples: 

• Thermal burns: These burns result from direct contact with hot surfaces, flames, or steam. They can cause severe skin and tissue damage, often necessitating immediate medical care and extensive treatment.
• Chemical burns: Exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as acids or alkalis, can lead to chemical burns. These injuries can penetrate the skin and cause significant internal harm, requiring specialized medical care.
• Electrical burns: They occur when an electric current passes through the body, potentially causing deep tissue damage, nerve injuries, and even cardiac arrest. These burns often call for both emergency and long-term medical treatment.
• Radiation burns: Prolonged exposure to radiation sources, such as X-rays or radioactive materials, can cause radiation burns. These burns may not appear immediately but can lead to serious health complications over time.
• Friction burns: Caused by skin rubbing against a rough surface, friction burns can occur in work environments involving heavy machinery or physical labor. While often less severe, they can still be painful and prone to infection.

Each type of burn injury necessitates a unique approach to treatment and recovery. Our office, led by the knowledgeable and capable Daniel Santarsiero, Esq., is well-equipped to handle the complexities of your case.
