Sprains, Strains, and Tears: The Most Common Workplace Injuries

Work can certainly be emotionally and mentally taxing, but according to numerous statistics, it can also be physically harmful. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics in 2017, 2.8 million non-fatal workplace injuries and illness were reported by employees within the private sector. Of these injuries and illnesses, sprains, strains, and tears is the most common type of manufacturing injury/accident category by both the frequency of workers’ compensation claims and their severity.

A Risk of Weather-Related Crashes: Hydroplaning

Snow can worry a lot of drivers; it can cause traffic delays, slippery roads, and even ice. But there’s another risk of snow that many drivers don’t consider: hydroplaning. Hydroplaning occurs when standing water on roadways causes a car to rest on the water rather than the roadway. When this happens, it removes the driver’s ability to maintain steering and control of the vehicle.

Daylight Saving Time A Factor in Fatal Car Crashes

It’s this time of year when we start to think about the changing days due to daylight savings time. It stays darker later in the morning and becomes darker outside earlier in the evening. Most states participate in daylight saving time twice per year, with the second Sunday in March taking an hour of daylight away from the morning and giving it to the evening. This remains until the first Sunday in November, when the clock falls back into place.

Companies Facing Financial Pressure Experience More Workplace Injuries

Companies Facing Financial Pressure Experience More Workplace Injuries

While maintaining control for other factors, the rates of injury or illness are five to fifteen percent higher during periods where a business meets or barely exceeds its analyst forecasts. These rates are much higher than those businesses that miss or comfortably beat their forecasts. Data from OSHA shows that one in every 24 employees is injured in companies that barely miss or just make analyst earnings, while only one in 27 is injured at companies that miss or comfortably beat them.

Driving with Pets Increases the Likelihood of Distracted Driving

Driving with Pets Increases the Likelihood of Distracted Driving

In the United States, there are 43.4 million households with pets. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2013 alone there were over 5.6 million crashes, contributing to 1.59 million injuries, and 32,719 fatalities. Since 34.4 million households drive with their pets, it is likely that many of them were also involved – over 80 percent of which were likely unrestrained. A meager 16 percent of people who drive with their dogs in their vehicle properly restrain them. This means that these animals were in a state of shock, if not actually injured.
