Identify the struck-by hazards from the list below: A. Becoming pinned between two machines. B. Being caught between a moving be
lt and a pinch point. C. None of these are struck-by hazards but rather caught-in or between hazards. D. Receiving fatal injuries from the rotating pump and the shaft, i.e., the worker was caught by the screw.
The correct answer is C. None of them are struck by hazards but rather caught in or between hazards.
A struck by hazard is when an object such as a flying object, falling object, swinging object or rolling object accidentally comes into contact with a person and impacts the person with another object or piece of equipment. A caught in or between injury is similar to a struck by hazard but they are created more as a result of a crushing injury between two objects such as being pulled into or caught in machinery and equipment or being compressed or crushed between rolling, sliding or shifting objects.
