Let's learn the parts of the body

With the objective of: speaking, knowing and writing the parts of the body, which will help us both in daily life situations and also in our work, as future security engineers, where we can indicate in English the part of the body where the PPE will go or point out where we have any injury or wound. to

For this reason, we make a summary with all the parts of the body, where they will be found in Spanish and English, in addition to having an image to identify the corresponding body part:

Let's learn about injuries

An injury is damage that occurs to the body. It is a general term that refers to the damage caused by accidents, falls, blows, burns, weapons and other causes. These injuries can be minor or severe and life-threatening. They can occur at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving or walking down the street.

Wounds are injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. They include cuts, scratches, and bites on the skin. They usually occur as a result of an accident, but surgical incisions, sutures, and stitches also cause injuries. Minor wounds are usually not serious, but it is important to clean them well.

Serious, infected wounds need first aid medical attention and later doctor visits. You should seek medical attention if the wound is deep, cannot close on its own, cannot stop or clean the bleeding, or does not heal.

The following table presents the injuries, wounds and pains, where they will be written in English and Spanish and the corresponding image:

Drill: Bits can easily break and fly, which can cause serious injury. Additionally, drills can also create sparks that can easily start fires.

What are the key points to prevent accidents with machinery

Finally, since the most dangerous machine tools and the accidents they can cause are known, it is vital to know what can be done to improve the strategies for preventing accidents with machinery.

And it is that, there are some key points that must be taken into account when it comes to improving the prevention of accidents with machinery in factories. The most important are listed below:
