Workplace explosions can lead to severe injuries, including serious burns, lost limbs, and internal trauma, some of which may be fatal. Victims often require both short- and long-term medical care, resulting in significant medical expenses.
There are four kinds of explosion injuries:
- Primary Blast – Injuries to body tissues caused by the pressure from the explosion, commonly affecting the ears, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
- Secondary Blast – Injuries caused by airborne objects propelled by the explosion.
- Tertiary Blast – Injuries resulting from being thrown by the force of the blast.
- Quaternary Blast – Other explosion-related injuries, including crushing, burns, and inhalation of harmful or toxic substances.
Workplace explosions often result from gas leaks or the accumulation of dust or chemicals in the air, frequently due to negligence.
