On average, each day over 30 people are seen in an emergency department for an injury from household machinery or a powered hand tool. Middle-aged males have the highest injury rate.

Learn more about injuries from household machinery in November’s Ontario Injury Compass.

Each report also includes prevention tips and a list of additional resources pertaining to the injury topic.
