Common Causes Of Work-Related Burns

Causes of burns can vary from job to job. However, no matter the underlying cause, the results of the following workplace burn injuries can be severe:

Chemical burns: If you are exposed to hazardous substances, you may experience pain and redness at the burn site. The concentration of the chemical and duration of exposure both play a role in the severity of a burn.
Thermal/heat burns: Thermal or heat burns are common in many professions, particularly if you work in the food service industry. Burns can be caused by direct contact with a heated object (such as a cooking implement) or flames. Electricity can also be a source of thermal burns.
Burns caused by explosions: On a yearly basis, explosions and other types of fires cause 5,000 burn-related injuries, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
