ABSTRACT
A study of 600 consecutive cases of industrial injuries, who came from power using mechanised industries at Jaipur was undertaken to determine the incidence, pattern and causes of industrial injuries. The study revealed that there were fewer injuries in the 18 to 25 years age group than in those over the age of 36. Most of the injuries involved the upper limbs (66.2%), of which nearly 41% resulted from entrapment of hands in machines and were serious. This reflected the lack of adequate safety measures where it is most required.
