4 Common Work Accidents to Watch Out for in Business

​People think that they are free from the risks of accidents if they have office jobs instead of working at construction sites. This is not true, however. The threat of disasters is imminent and can happen anywhere at any given time if not cautious enough.

Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents is commonly known to be the leading complaints about most occupational injuries, especially to those ages 55 and above. Cautiousness is of extreme importance to avoid slip and fall injuries that may lead to sprains, fractures, and knee and hand injuries. Always hold on to railings, avoid damp surfaces, and be aware of your surroundings.

Construction Accidents
A lot of things happen in construction sites. This is where beams, cement, steel cables, and heavy machinery are mostly found, making these kinds of sites inherently dangerous. That is why construction workers are always required to wear hard hats for protection. Severe accidents can happen in a construction site, and some of these are:

• Injuries from falling objects
• Ladder accidents
• Collapsing buildings
• Crane accidents

Automobile Accidents
Auto accidents can easily be prevented if people will only avoid distractions while driving. Distracted driving is the leading cause of automobile accidents. What are the most common things people do that may cost them their lives?

• Texting, calling, or browsing their phones
• Making eye contact with the passenger
• Grooming
• Eating or Drinking
• Smoking

Driving accidents are frightfully fatal. Not only will it possibly cost you your life, but it will also burden your loved ones with emotional and financial stress. Save them the baggage and save your life by consistently keeping your eyes on the road.

Mining Accidents
Hundreds of feet below the surface and working with explosives and heavy equipment, miners are more likely to be at risk of accidents than most professions. These types of accidents usually happen after a strong storm, making the soil eroded and unstable and possibly making it sensitive to heavy vibrations.

If ever you’ve been involved in an accident, entitlement to workers’ compensation may be supported by your company. However, this may depend on your profession. Miners do not have this benefit, unfortunately. But Medicare Supplement Insurance is available for everyone! Not only does it help pay some of the health care services and costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, but it also allows you the freedom to choose any doctor or hospital. Provided, of course, that they accept Medicare.
