    How to Avoid Getting Into an Accident at Work

    OVER $1 BILLION IN RECOVERIES FOR OUR CLIENTS

    Workers Compensation Attorney

    When you go into the workplace, you likely don’t expect to get into an accident and suffer an injury. However, it can happen. Thousands of workers get into accidents in the workplace in New Jersey every year and suffer various injuries, from head injuries to broken bones. However, you can take steps to increase safety at work. Here are a few ways to avoid getting into an accident at work.

    Get Enough Sleep

    Getting a good night’s rest won’t just help you be more productive at work. It can also prevent you from getting into an accident. If you’re running on little sleep, you may be less focused and don’t pay careful enough attention to hazards in the workplace. For example, you may not notice clutter on the floor and trip over it.

    Wear the Proper Protective Equipment

    People who work in certain environments, like factories and construction sites, are required to wear protective equipment, like hard hats and goggles. However, some employees may wear the equipment incorrectly or take it off because it feels uncomfortable. To protect yourself from injuries, always wear your protective equipment when necessary.

    Follow Directions

    Accidents at work frequently occur when employees don’t follow directions or take shortcuts. Even if you’ve done a certain task many times, you should never take shortcuts to save time. Doing so can get you injured. If you follow the directions your supervisor gave you, injuries are less likely to occur. If you don’t understand something outlined in the directions, don’t hesitate to ask your supervisor for clarification.

    Remain Alert

    No matter what type of environment you work in, it’s important to be alert at all times. If you’re always aware and on the lookout for potential hazards, you will be less likely to get into an accident and suffer an injury.

    Report Safety Issues

    If you see a safety issue at work, whether it’s torn carpeting or exposed cords, you should report it to your employer immediately. Don’t just assume that your employer already knows about it and will get it fixed. If you report work safety issues promptly, you can prevent yourself and your coworkers from getting hurt.

    Even if you take the proper precautions, work accidents can still occur. If you were injured at work, a workers compensation attorney, like one from Rispoli & Borneo P.C., can help.
