When you go to work every day, you may expect whatever day it is to be much the same as the previous workday. While your individual projects and assignments may vary, the type of work you do remains the same, and depending on where you work, your risk for injury may be very low or high.
It's always good to stay updated on safety information and practice good habits to avoid injury while you work. If an accident occurs, your injuries may keep you laid up for quite some time, perhaps causing you to lose income. That's one of the main reasons the workers' compensation program exists: to help replace lost wages while injured workers recover at home or in the hospital. Sometimes, complications arise as you navigate the claims process. If that happens, it's good to know where to turn for support.
