How Grocery Stores Can Reduce Worker’s Comp Injuries

• Force and the amount of effort required to perform a task
• Awkward and static postures and positions that could lead to injuries
• Contact stress, such as touching sharp objects
• Repetition, such as performing the same movements throughout a shift

COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases May Qualify You For Worker’s Compensation

Did your work have the necessary personal protective equipment on hand during the COVID-19 outbreak? Nurses can be exposed to other infectious illnesses during their workday like HIV, and tuberculosis. 

One thing that nurses should never do is ignore their injuries in order to continue caring for their patients. You can't properly care for another person if you aren't in the shape to do so safely. Instead, get the care you need for your injuries so that you'll be able to return to caring for your patients once you've healed. You may need to seek workers' compensation coverage to help cover the costs of care and provide you with partial wage replacement until you can return to work.
