  1. What Can I Do To Prevent A Workplace Injury?

  2. When you arrive at work in the morning each day do you think about safety? Do you think about how you can prevent an injury? Do you worry that something at work can injure you? There aren’t many people who think about these things when they go to work each day.

  3. Attend Proper Training A large number of employers throughout California and the rest of the country provide their employees with safety and other forms of training. It goes without saying that you need to attend this training if it is mandatory.

  4. Personal Protective Equipment Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is vital to your safety on the job. If your employer issues you PPE, or requires you to wear PPE in certain areas, make sure you do so. PPE can include non-slip boots, a hard hat, goggles, gloves, a full-body suit, fall prevention gear, ear plugs, a face mask and plenty of other equipment.

  5. Monitor the Weather You need to monitor the weather when your job has you outdoors. Make sure you dress appropriately for the season (warm clothes in the winter and loose clothes in the summer). You should apply sunscreen even during the winter months as the sun can still cause damage to your skin.

  6. Be on the Lookout for Hazards Always be on the lookout for hazards when on the job. It doesn’t matter if you are working indoors or outdoors, hazards lurk around every corner. If you see a hazard make sure you alert your supervisor so it can be fixed as soon as possible.

  7. Only Use Tools if Trained If tools are involved in your daily work activities make sure you only use them if you are trained to do so. Power tools are dangerous and can get away from you if there is a lack of experience with them.

  8. Know Your Limits Know your limits when it comes to physical labor and don’t feel ashamed to give into them and take a break. Employers are required to give their employees breaks throughout the day. Have you suffered an injury on the job? Contact a Los Angeles workplace injury lawyer William J. Kropach at the Law Offices of Kropach & Kropach to discuss your injuries and what you can do to receive compensation.
