Causes of Burns

Workplace accidents are among the most common causes of burn injuries. Anyone who works around caustic chemicals, electrical equipment, or extremely hot liquids is at risk of sustaining serious burns. In fact, around 80 employees were burned badly enough to require emergency medical care in 2003 alone.

Employees are not the only ones at risk of unsafe business practices, of course. Customers of and visitors to a variety of businesses have been seriously injured by:

• Defective products
• Poorly maintained equipment
• Unsafe conditions

Another common cause of severe burn injuries is car accidents. Fires caused by gasoline leaks following a vehicular collision injure thousands of people every year. Unfortunately, many of these injuries are inflicted on innocent parties because of someone else's unsafe driving practices.
