Injuries from lifting heavy objects usually take place under a pair of circumstances. First, you may be asked to lift a particularly heavy object that causes an injury – a one-time task. Second, you may regularly lift heavy objects – ongoing work that becomes injurious through wear and tear.

In either case, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the exertion associated with lifting heavy objects “is one of the leading causes of injury in the workplace.” OSHA reports slightly more than one-third of all work-related injuries – about 36% – involves shoulder and/or back trauma from heavy lifting.

The agency also notes injuries, which can cause temporary or permanent issues for workers, are not limited to the back or spine. Pulled muscles are a major problem. Other body parts susceptible to injury include wrists, shoulders and elbows.

How workers can protect themselves

OSHA says workers can reduce risk by using the proper equipment, including forklifts, duct lifts, pallet jacks, hand trucks, stands or jigs, and suction devices that serve as temporary handles. The agency also recommends employing ramps or lift gates, and encouraging employers to order supplies and other materials in quantities weighing less than 50 pounds.

Workers can prevent injuries through smart lifting practices, OSHA says, such as:

• Placing materials where they are easier to lift (the “power zone” height, from about mid-thigh to mid-chest);
• Maintaining a straight spine;
• Moving items as close as possible to their body;
• Not twisting when lifting an object;
• Working in teams; and
• Taking regular rest breaks.

Let an attorney do some heavy lifting for you

You could face several issues after sustaining a workplace injury linked to heavy lifting. This includes medical treatment for your injury – doctor appointments, physical therapy, medication, and possibly surgery. You could be out of work for weeks or months, unable to support your family or pay your rising medical bills.

Getting the full amount of workers’ compensation you need for a lifting injury can be a challenging process. The insurance company, in an effort to protect their bottom line, will hide behind their lawyers and their own doctors. They may dispute the extent of your injury or question whether the treatment your doctor recommends is reasonable or necessary. You need an advocate who knows the system to help you fight back.

Many workplace injuries and deaths are linked to exposure to flammable chemicals, fires and explosions. We often hear about explosions that happen due to improper storage of flammable materials.

One particular incident that made international headlines was the August 4 explosion that happened in Beirut. Roughly 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate was improperly stored at the port for six years. Approximately 135 people were killed and 5,000 injured in the explosion — all of which could have been prevented.

Common mistakes when storing flammable chemicals

According to an article in Occupational Health & Safety Magazine, ignorance and complacency are the cause of most flammable chemical accidents. The article sites a study conducted by the National Fire and Protection Association that linked 454 deaths and 3,910 injuries to flammable and combustible liquid fires. All of these injuries and deaths could have been avoided if flammable chemicals had been properly stored and secured.

According to the OH&S article, these are the most common errors made when storing flammable chemicals:

• Not using the right container. While storing unused chemicals in their original packaging can save money, it can be dangerous in the long-term. This is only OK when flammable chemicals are stored in small amounts for a short period of time. When storing these chemicals for long periods of time, only the right containers designed for long-term storage should be used.
• Not properly labeling the containers. It’s very important that the containers being used to store flammable chemicals are properly labeled. Since some flammable chemicals are clear and odorless, they can easily be mistaken for nonhazardous chemicals. A standard label should include the name of the chemical, the date of storage and Material Safety Data Sheets information.
• Failing to have a fire prevention plan in place. In the event that an accident involving flammable chemicals occurs, it’s critical that a fire prevention plan is put in place to prevent fire from spreading throughout a facility. This can be done by having proper barriers and drainage systems put in place to prevent the liquids from spreading or remaining on floor surfaces. In addition, fire-resistant storage units should be installed.

New Jersey lawmakers recently introduced legislation that would remove limitations on lawsuit costs and attorneys’ fees relating to third-party workplace injury claims. Senate Bill 2721 was introduced by Democratic Senator Nicholas Scutari on July 28, 2020.

Currently, there is a $750 cap on reductions of workers’ compensation liens related to costs required in third-party liability claim lawsuits, and a limit of one-third of the award paid in attorneys’ fees.

S.B. 2721 has been referred to the Senate Labor Committee. If it is signed into law, it will take effect immediately. Injured workers are often impacted by the current law, because more money comes out of their portion of the settlement obtained in third party negligence claims associated with their worker’s comp injury. Instead the insurance company gets the benefit by having this cap on litigation expenses.

The proposed law from Senator Scutari would remove the limitations on the credit for these necessary costs and attorneys fees. Instead of this arbitrary number of $750, this law aims for a credit for costs and legal expenses that are deemed “reasonable.”

What is a third-party workplace injury claim?

When a worker is hurt on the job, he or she is eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation pays for medical expenses relating to a worker’s injury, as well as wage reimbursement for lost time from work during recovery time.

In New Jersey, workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. That means workers can be compensated regardless of whether an injury was caused by an error they made, the actions of a coworker or the negligence of a third party. In some cases, injured workers can pursue additional damages for an injury that is linked to the negligence of a third party through a lawsuit alleging that third person was negligent, and caused the injury because of that negligence.

This only applies when a worker’s injury is caused by someone other than their employer or a coworker. Some examples of third parties include:

• The driver of a car or truck that strikes a roadside worker or causes an accident while a worker was driving.
• A worker from another company working on the same worksite
• The manufacturer of defective machinery or equipment that causes an injury
• The owner a business or property that a worker visits during the scope of his or her employment

New law pertains to increases in workers’ comp for loss of a hand or foot

In addition to S.B. 2721, Senator Scutari introduced S.B. 2722, which would clarify the effective date of the Legislature’s recent enactment of a statute that increased the amount of money for injuries in workers’ compensation payouts for workers who injured a hand or foot on the job. This legislation applies to:

• Workers’ compensation cases that are pending but have not yet been settled
• Workers’ compensation claims filed on or after January 21, 2020

S.B. 2722 does not apply to workers’ compensation cases that have been reopened for the purpose of modifying a formal award. Like S.B. 2721, this legislation has been sent to the Senate’s Labor Committee.

Many cases have been handled since the Legislature’s passage of a bill that increased the amount of money that would be paid for hand or foot injuries, but throughout the State different Judges and insurance companies have handled the increase differently. Many Judges and Insurance companies have argued that the Legislature did not apply those increases to cases that were already pending in the system. This has led to inconsistent approaches throughout the State. This bill would clarify what cases the increase in value would apply to.

A loss of a body part could result in a permanent partial or total disability. Workers who sustain either are eligible for the following benefits:

• Permanent partial benefits: Disability benefits that are based on loss of a function.
• Permanent total benefits: Disability benefits equal to 70 percent of a worker’s average weekly pay for up to 450 per week. Workers must prove that they are still disabled to continue receiving benefits.

There has recently been a lot of publicity about the way Amazon has approached the treatment and safety of its workers. According to Occupational Health & Safety Magazine, several workers have expressed dissatisfaction for how the retail giant accommodated them after sustaining injuries or illnesses on the job.

Additional criticisms were raised during the COVID-19 pandemic, when several complaints were made about poor safety measures and a lack of safeguards.

Allegations that Amazon fails to provide injury data

Allegations have been made that Amazon was attempting to keep the amount of injuries which occurred in its warehouses a secret. A non-profit agency, the Center for Investigative Reporting, has addressed the reporting of injuries, and the availability of that information to the public.

That entity even went so far as to file an action against the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) related to OSHA’s decision to lower or delay the standards for how injuries are reported. This was after OSHA tried to claim that injury data was confidential, in an attempt to avoid providing in part Amazon’s workplace safety records. The Center for Investigative Reporting indicates that in documents it was able to obtain, the injury rate at Amazon warehouses was “sky-high” compared to others.

Following the lawsuit, OSHA only released statements made by employees, as well as redacted Form 300As and workplace injury and illness logs. The withholding of injury data was reportedly intended to protect confidential information pertaining to Amazon and other companies. In addition, OSHA’s attorney cited an exemption in the Freedom of Information Act that allows sensitive business information to remain confidential.

Injury reporting rules require employers to provide injury logs to current and former employees upon request. These logs should also be made available to employees for up to three months, but according to Amazon’s attorney, they must remain confidential.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim said that the law requires these documents to be disclosed. Amazon’s attorney said that the data is to be used for company health and safety purposes and not public disclosure.

The attorney representing the Center for Investigative Reporting asserted that no ban on public disclosure of injury data exists. The lawyer said there are no penalties for employees who disclose the information.

In 2019, the Labor Department rescinded requirements of companies to submit annual workplace injury and illness reports. That decision was challenged by public health advocacy groups in six states, including New Jersey. Both lawsuits are still pending.

The importance of transparency

When it comes to safety and a history of workplace incidents, transparency is important. Previous incidents can serve as a learning tool to prevent future injuries, identify risk patterns and optimize safety training. Employers who fail to put adequate safety measures in place to prevent injuries and illnesses may endanger workers.

If you were hurt or became ill on the job, know your legal rights. The cost of medical care and lost wages can be financially overwhelming. An experienced New Jersey workers’ compensation attorney at Shebell & Shebell, LLC can help you file a claim and get the compensation you need while you recover.

While some jobs are more stressful than others, all workers can experience stress at the workplace. Over time, that stress can take its toll and lead to burnout.

What is workplace burnout?

Verywell Mind says “burnout can leave people feeling exhausted, empty, and unable to cope with the demands of life.” It notes the common signs of burnout include:

• Alienation from work-related activities: Individuals experiencing burnout view their jobs as increasingly stressful and frustrating. They may grow cynical about their working conditions and the people they work with. They may also emotionally distance themselves and begin to feel numb about their work.
• Physical symptoms: Chronic stress may lead to physical symptoms, like headaches and stomachaches or intestinal issues.
• Emotional exhaustion: Burnout causes people to feel drained, unable to cope, and tired. They often lack the energy to get their work done.
• Reduced performance: Burnout mainly affects everyday tasks at work—or in the home when someone’s main job involves caring for family members. Individuals with burnout feel negative about tasks. They have difficulty concentrating and often lack creativity.

Burnout can make it difficult for people to function at work and even in their own lives. It may even pose a risk to their safety, as decreased job performance can lead to mistakes that cause workplace accidents.

How does workplace burnout happen?

It has a lot to do with working conditions and how employers treat their workers. A 2018 Gallup study identified five main causes of employee burnout:

• Unfair treatment. Employees are much more likely to experience burnout if they feel they are treated unfairly at work (favoritism, unfair compensation, and mistreatment).
• Unmanageable workload. When an employee feels it’s not possible to keep up with a workload, burnout is much more likely to occur.
• Lack of role clarity. Employees can feel exhausted and burnt out when they aren’t sure what is expected of them.
• Lack of communication and support from a manager. Employees are less likely to experienced burnout if they feel that their manager supports them.
• Unreasonable time pressure. Employees who say they don’t have enough time to do their work are more likely to experience burnout.

Burnout is something that has been happening to workers for a long time, but official recognition of the condition has been slow. In 2019, the World Health Organization recognized burnout as an “occupational phenomenon.” It noted that burnout is marked by “feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job, and reduced professional efficacy.”

What can be done about workplace burnout?

There are currently no OSHA standards or regulations concerning burnout, but it’s clear that burnout is real and poses a threat to workers’ health. So what can you do if you experience burnout at work? Verywell Mind offers these suggestions:

• Approach the human resource department about problems in the workplace or talk to a supervisor about the issues
• Take care of yourself – eat a healthy diet, get plenty of exercise, and get enough sleep
• Take regularly scheduled breaks from work
• Consider changing your position or even getting a new job if you don’t think things will improve where you are

In March 2020, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy issued a statewide stay-at-home order in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. As a result, residents were urged to stay at home unless travel was essential. Many businesses have temporarily closed their doors.

While some workers have the luxury of working from home, others must risk their lives to serve the public and make a living. Our police officers and first responders are among those on the front line of this pandemic.

First responders risk their lives ensuring the safety of the public

Our police officers are responsible for ensuring the safety of the public. They provide assistance to those who need it and ensure that all New Jersey residents are complying with the statewide stay-at-home order. Even with fewer people out, police still have a difficult and dangerous job that can put them in harm’s way.

Police often deal with:

• Violent criminals
• People under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Rescue situations
• Traffic enforcement

During these trying times, emergency medical service personnel (ambulance workers) are working harder than ever. They come in close contact with people who may have COVID-19, putting them at risk of being infected. Not only that, but they must also move quickly to transport patients to the nearest hospital. This involves a great deal of lifting and quick, repetitive movements.

What are the dangers first responders face during COVID-19?

Since first responders often come in such close contact with patients with COVID-19, they are at a great risk of becoming ill. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these are the signs of COVID-19 to watch out for:

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Headache and/or body aches
• Chest pain or pressure

Due to the nature of their job, first responders are also at risk of sustaining:

• Back injuries
• Knee injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal injuries
• Soft tissue injuries
• Musculoskeletal disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Severe injuries caused by violence

In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 107 requiring many businesses to close their doors until further notice.

Not all businesses and public services are closed, however. People still need to get food and essential items. They still need to make medical appointments and get treatment. We still need police, EMS workers and firefighters to keep us safe.

Essential workers may be protected under proposed bill

Heatlhcare workers, grocery store employees, public safety personnel and other essential workers are at the forefront of this epidemic. These brave men and women are risking their lives and health each day. It’s critical that they receive adequate worker protections and benefits should they be injured or become ill on the job.

In order to protect New Jersey workers during this time, Senate President Stephen Sweeney introduced a new bill to make it easier for essential workers who become sick with COVID-19 to receive workers’ compensation benefits. The bill, if passed into law, would basically mean an essential worker who gets the Coronavirus would be presumed to have gotten it at work.

If the bill is signed into law, the presumption will apply to essential workers who interact with the public. This would likely include workers (both private and public sector) who provide healthcare services, food, essential goods and public safety.

“We started with police and fire and all emergency responders. But think about the person working at the grocery store. They’re just as much on the front lines,” said Sweeney.

Under the Sweeney bill, workers who become sick with COVID-19 would not be required to take sick leave. Instead, their time away from work would be considered “on duty.”

Deliver drivers, warehouse workers and truckers are among the many essential workers on the front lines of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, loading essential supplies and taking to the roads to help keep the economy going and to provide all of us with access to food, goods, and critical supplies.

As more and more people practice social distancing recommendations and stay safe at home, many Americans are shopping online – creating an increase in the overall volume of packages being shipped out and deliveries being made every day.

While the World Health Organization has said the threat of contracting COVID-19 from a package is low, delivery drivers, truckers, and warehouse workers are still at risk of being exposed to the Coronavirus while at work and while making deliveries.

Essential workers ask for protection and hazard pay

In March, some Amazon warehouse workers walked off the job and called for more safeguards after colleagues were diagnosed with COVID-19. Instances of the virus have also been reported at more than 19 Amazon warehouses in the U.S., prompting the company to prioritize deliveries of essential goods and ask delivery drivers to disinfect their trucks before and after each shift.

UPS and FedEx employees have also voiced concerns about how they’ll get paid if they contract the virus, while other essential workers are calling for an increase in wages or hazard pay due to the risk associated with working in public during the pandemic.

Along with working in close quarters to load packages, delivery drivers and truckers are carrying goods in and out of communities that have been locked down due to COVID-19. Employees for companies such as Instacart also have concerns as they shop for customers in heavily trafficked grocery stores, putting their own health at risk.

Can you get workers’ comp for COVID-19?

Workers’ compensation is supposed to help cover the cost of any necessary medical expenses that arise from a work injury or occupational disease. If you come in contact with the Coronavirus while you’re at work, you may be entitled to certain wage and medical benefits through workers’ compensation.

Even if you think your claim is straightforward, you may face challenges trying to get all the benefits you’re entitled to. That’s why if you think you’ve had occupational exposure to COVID-19, you should contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney right away to protect your rights.

You might think that working on a construction site or as a police officer is dangerous. While those workers certainly face the risk of being injured, it might come as a surprise that another group of workers is facing an increasing risk of being hurt on the job: Nurses.

According to Occupational Health & Safety, violence is on the rise in the health care sector, and nurses are especially at risk. Health care workers face a variety of threats every day they go to work. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health lists four types of violence in the health care field. A nurse or other health care worker can be injured by:

• Someone with criminal intent (a person who has no relationship to the business or its employees)
• A patient who acts violently during treatment
• Another employee of the health care facility
• Personal relationship violence

According to a survey, one in five registered nurses and nursing students reported being physically assaulted during a one-year period. Half of them say they were verbally abused. The health care field experiences a higher rate of serious workplace violence than the private industry on average, according to OSHA.

What leads to violence in the health care industry?

Nurses and other health care professionals often work in emotionally charged environments. Patients and their family members are sometimes upset, frightened or even angry. Nurses treat patients from all walks of life. A patient might have a history of violence or be high on drugs when he or she comes into an emergency room.

OHS suggests ways to address the problem of workplace violence in health care facilities. Employers should encourage nurses and other employees to report any act of violence against them. Employers should have systems in place that encourage reporting of violence.

In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has compiled guidelines for preventing workplace violence for health care and social service workers. All health care employers should review them and consider enhancing efforts to keep employees safe.

Many states, including New Jersey, have adopted tougher penalties for assaults against nurses and other health care professionals. In 2011, lawmakers upgraded the penalties from simple assault to aggravated assault. Under New Jersey state law, someone who assaults a health care worker will be charged with the same offense as someone who assaults a law enforcement officer, according to NBC New York.

NBC New York quotes a registered nurse: “The vast majority of assaults that occur in the health care setting are non-lethal in nature. But you don’t have to be killed to be changed forever.”

When you think of hazardous jobs resulting in workers’ compensation claims, you probably think about construction workers and law enforcement personnel. You probably do not consider retail industry workers. A new study indicates that maybe you should.

The dangers of retail

When a retail worker is injured on the job, they miss an average of 24 workdays, according to an insurance provider study. AmTrust Financial Services reviewed 20,000 workers’ compensation claims from 2016-2018. The three injuries with the highest average payouts were:

• Falls or slips from ladders or scaffolding
• Strain or repetitive motion
• Car accidents

Workers at the greatest risk were employed in:

• Meat, fish and poultry markets. Common injuries involve facial bones, elbows, ankles, and knees.
• Hardware stores. Common injuries involve upper backs, shoulders, upper arms, and ankles.
• Car parts and accessories stores (including drivers). Common injuries involve soft tissue, multiple upper extremities, elbows, shoulders and knees.
• Barbershop, beauty parlor and hairstyling salons. Common injuries involve shoulders, thumbs and upper extremities.

Does your employer care about safety?

The study found safety training is key to preventing injuries. The question for retail workers is whether their employers believe in a proactive safety strategy or whether they accept injuries as “part of doing business.” Workers should ask themselves if their employers:

• Have proper footwear policies.
• Keep floors and other surfaces clear of hazards.
• Store stock safely on shelves.
• Keep stepladders in good condition.
• Enforce safe lifting guidelines.
• Provide support for moving stock, such as hand carts.
• Offer training on security, robbery, and shoplifting.
• Maintain clear emergency exit walkways.
• Assure facilities are properly illuminated.

It’s easy for an employer to say they support worker safety. It’s something else entirely for them to follow through. Workers should alert their employers to any safety issues and keep a detailed record of the response.

Seek medical attention, even if it seems minor

If you are a retail worker who has been injured on the job, you could be facing a month or more without a paycheck, or even become permanently disabled. Making ends meet is difficult enough without missing extra time due to your employer’s negligence. Your employer is not going to admit they are responsible for your injuries. In fact, they may blame you. The insurance company knows you need money. That’s why they will make a lowball financial settlement offer, hoping you will accept less than you deserve. Meanwhile, you are trying to navigate a complex workers’ compensation system that seems like it was designed to thwart and frustrate you.
