Seg\u00fan la Oficina de Estad\u00edsticas Laborales, los riesgos de lesiones a los que se enfrentan los perforadores son mucho mayores que los de otros sectores. Los riesgos van desde ca\u00eddas y peligros relacionados con la maquinaria hasta incendios y exposici\u00f3n a sustancias qu\u00edmicas t\u00f3xicas.<\/p>\n<p>La naturaleza del petr\u00f3leo, que es altamente inflamable, hace que el fuego y las quemaduras sean la principal causa de muerte. <a href=\"https:\/\/work.chron.com\/dangers-onshore-oil-rig-23643.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">riesgo importante de lesiones<\/a>. Productos qu\u00edmicos como el sulfuro de hidr\u00f3geno y la acumulaci\u00f3n excesiva en el pozo pueden provocar explosiones que podr\u00edan causar lesiones mortales. Las alturas a las que tienen que trabajar los perforadores plantean riesgos de ca\u00edda, y las herramientas que se caen desde zonas de trabajo elevadas pueden matar a trabajadores situados a niveles inferiores.<\/p>\n<p>Un n\u00famero importante de lesiones graves e incluso muertes en las plataformas petrol\u00edferas est\u00e1n causadas por maquinaria y equipos pesados como carretillas elevadoras y gr\u00faas. Las perforadoras, las unidades de apoyo y la maquinaria giratoria son peligrosas en s\u00ed mismas, y los niveles excesivos de ruido agravan los riesgos. Los trabajadores de las perforadoras suelen trabajar muchas horas, y la fatiga puede ralentizar los tiempos de reacci\u00f3n, a menudo con consecuencias catastr\u00f3ficas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mblaw.org\/es\/abogado-de-accidentes-petroleros-en-san-antonio\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Trabajadores de plataformas petrol\u00edferas heridos<\/a> no tienen necesariamente derecho a las prestaciones de indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidente laboral, ya que el seguro es optativo para los empresarios Texas. Por ello, muchos trabajadores de perforadoras lesionados optan por buscar el apoyo y la orientaci\u00f3n de un abogado. Un abogado con experiencia en indemnizaciones por accidentes de trabajo y lesiones personales puede ayudarle a conseguir la m\u00e1xima indemnizaci\u00f3n de acuerdo con la legislaci\u00f3n vigente. Junto con la ayuda econ\u00f3mica para cubrir las facturas m\u00e9dicas y los salarios perdidos, una demanda por lesiones personales puede dar lugar a una sentencia monetaria que incluya otros da\u00f1os financieros y emocionales.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workers in the onshore oil drilling industry in Texas face an endless list of workplace injury hazards.
