Usually, an error that is within the control of one or more people is at the bottom of things. Often, several errors take place, at the same time, for an accident to occur. So when we analyze accidents, we should focus on which aspects of a task were controlled and which were not. Assuming that workers have been...

Motion Injuries - General Safety Taking the time to think about everyday tasks and their affects on our bodies is a good way to prevent injuries. The following scenarios will demonstrate how inadequate planning leads to pain and disability, affecting on- and off-the-job activities. At the breakfast table you rush to clean everything up before going to work. You stretch awkwardly across the table to lift your infant baby out of the highchair.

According to safety experts, over half of all workers’ compensation claims and costs were due to sprain/strains. Guide for Discussion Overexertion effects: Backs;  Trunks (Waist, Hips); Knees; Shoulders, Arms and Elbows The hardest injury to live with is a back injury; once you are injured expect repeat injuries.
