You know those signs you see sometimes in warehouses or manufacturing plants that read, “It has been 7 days since our last workplace accident”? If every office, factory, and worksite in the country had this sign posted, it would need to be updated almost continually.

In fact, an on-the-job injury occurs every seven seconds in the United States today!

Work injuries can occur as a result of hazardous conditions, employee error, employer negligence, or just sheer happenstance. Unfortunately, many of them are preventable.
