The Impact of Workplace Injuries – The Story of Amber Hiuser

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses the impact of workplace injuries and features Amber Hiuser, occupational health and safety coordinator, who shares her experience with workplace injury and the impact it has had on both her personal and professional life.

Amber’s interest in workplace health and safety began the moment her life changed when, as an 18-year old new on a job, she accidentally entangled her fingers with a blade while operating a CNC machine lathe. A few years later, she had another injury to her face at a job that didn't have any safety policies or proper reporting procedures in place. Amber shares her journey through the pain of multiple surgeries and dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.


Amber discusses her role as a speaker for Threads of Life, advocating for safer workspaces and the necessity of working for a company that has a COR-certified occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). Having an effective OHSMS helps workers feel confident that there are protective measures in place that go beyond just following regulations.

Amber also mentions the impact of senior management on the performance of an OHSMS. A company with a strong safety culture, as well as support and involvement from senior management, can have a significant impact on workers, instilling confidence and contributing to a safer work environment.
