Skiing facilities” have the third-highest non-fatal injury rate among all industries in the U.S., according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Even though most resorts make worker safety a priority, accidents are inevitable. For example, ice can build up in areas around the slopes, or a guest may not practice safe skiing behavior.
Some of the most common injuries among ski resort employees include:
1. Falls from slipping on ice or snow
2. Collisions with other skiers or boarders
3. Lifting-related injuries from transporting injured skiers or snowboarders
4. Strains and sprains
5. Getting caught or falling when assisting someone out of a lift
6. Lacerations, cuts, and bruises
