What is lathe accident?

Lathe accidents can occur when using a lathe machine for metalworking or woodworking operations. Common lathe accidents involve amputations of fingers, hands, or arms, severe cuts, lacerations, burns, and blunt trauma to the head and body. These accidents can be caused by the operator's negligence, insufficient training, improper machine maintenance, and failure to use personal protective equipment such as goggles and gloves. The consequences of lathe accidents can be severe and permanent, leading to disability, loss of income, and reduced quality of life. To prevent lathe accidents, it is important to follow safety protocols, operate the machine only when trained, use protective equipment, and keep the machine well-maintained.
