Key Points

  • Investigate the incidence of robot-related injuries and identify high-risk factors for improvement in safety protocols.
  • Analyzed workers' compensation claims in Ohio from 2001 to 2020.
  • Identified specific robot-related injuries and their causes.
  • Evaluated the effectiveness of existing safety measures in various sectors.
  • Found a rise in robot-related injury claims over the study period.
  • Identified specific sectors with higher risks associated with robot implementation.
  • Recommended tailored safety approaches to reduce the identified risks.

Abstract

Robotics is rapidly evolving to remove workers from hazardous environments and reduce risks from hazardous, repetitive, and manual tasks, but it may introduce new workplace hazards. There is a need to study robot-related injuries, identify high-risk exposures, and develop sector- or application-specific comprehensive safety approaches for safer implementation of robots in the workplace.
