Injuries and Illness
Modern safety management goes beyond covering traditional workplace accidents to now being equally concerned with illnesses caused on and even off the job. This section will explain what you need to know to avoid both injuries and illnesses, and to track your progress in reaching this goal.
Back pain is among mankind's earliest and most enduring afflictions. In fact, cave drawings have depicted early sufferers. Today, back pain is a major workplace issue.
The heat equation is a simple way to determine the circumstances under which the human body’s cooling system could fail, and when employees exerting themselves physically in the heat could be at risk of heat illness.
Summer begins in just under two weeks. The summer solstice brings with it rising temperatures and increased humidity. So it's important for all employees to know how to cope with the heat.
Back injuries are among the most common workplace injuries, accounting for an estimated one in five on-the-job injuries. Those injuries cost U.S. industry billions of dollars every year, not to mention the pain and suffering the injured workers have to endure. Here are some keys to preventing back injuries from taking down your workers—and your bottom line.
Hand injuries can be especially traumatic, stripping away not only one's ability to work, but also the ability to perform activities of daily living. Today we’ll share a surgeon’s views on the causes of hand injuries—and his tips for preventing them.
We continue yesterday’s review of OSHA’s recordkeeping rules, picking up with required reporting forms. And we also invite you to an audio conference that will provide you with practical, real-world solutions to your recordkeeping questions.
When OSHA inspectors arrive at your workplace, the first thing they’ll want to see are your injury and illness records. And, although the agency’s recordkeeping rules may seem like just another administrative headache, the fact is that those records are a vital tool in promoting worker safety. Used in conjunction with the agency’s annual reports, you can see how your organization’s safety record stacks up against others in your industry—and what areas of your operation need attention.
Yesterday we reviewed the benefits of returning injured workers back to the job as quickly as possible. Today we look at one company’s innovative return-to-work (RTW) strategy and invite you to an audio conference that will show you how your RTW program can boost retention, reduce costs, and avoid lawsuits.
Spend a few hours in front of the TV on a weekday and you'll get an eyeful of what injured workers see every day: Ads for lawyers promising large settlements for their injuries. But experts recommend getting employees off the couch and back on the job as soon as possible. Today we’ll look at the benefits of early return to work (RTW), and some strategies for making it happen.
Over the last decade, more than 60,000 people in the United States were put at risk for contracting hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) because workers in nonhospital healthcare facilities failed to follow basic infection control practices. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now on the case.
