- 2. Thoughts On Workplace Injuries I feel like it would be very simple to teach new workers how to avoid being injured on site. However, most companies do not put in the proper amount of time nor money to properly teach there workers about how to avoid injury during work. During work if new workers slowed down instead of rushing many injuries would be prevented
- 3. How To Avoid Workplace Injuries? Many injuries can be avoided if workers slowed down during there work. Especially in more dangerous work sites such as construction. In some cases however it is impossible to prevent accidents that no one can predict. More breaks would reduce injuries because workers would be less tired and drowsy. Safer working conditions would obviously reduce the amount of injuries that occur.
- 4. Why Workplace Injuries Occur I believe workplace injuries occur because most people entering the workforce feel rushed. Another reason is that they are inexperienced. Some workers enter there job without knowing the risks that come with a certain job. Others ignore safety protocols thinking it is a waste or time. Accidents happen, but they usually occur because a worker made a mistake due to inexperience, is rushing or tiredness.
