One of the most common work-related accidents involving wedding rings occurs when an employee's ring catches on machinery or some other object. If the ring itself does not break, it may remove flesh from the finger or sever the finger altogether. Wedding rings also pose a threat if an employee injures the finger on the job and the finger swells up around the wedding band, cutting off the worker's circulation. . Many people do not feel comfortable removing their wedding rings, but if you work around hazardous equipment or moving parts that could catch on jewelry, you should always put your safety first!
