Did you know 1,517,000 people were injured in motor vehicle accidents in 2009? Neither did I, but it’s true according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The prevalent types of injuries include: whiplash, head injuries, broken bones and spinal cord injuries.
The 2009 Bureau of Labor Statistics report reflects that 1,234,490 nonfatal occupational injury and illness cases (that required days away from work to recuperate) were reported for private industry, state government, and local government. Sprains, tears, strains, carpal tunnel and musculoskeletal disorders were the leading cause of injury; the required days away from work ranged from 1-30 days. In private industry, the majority of all occupational injuries and illnesses occurred in health care and social assistance.

That can cause unnecessary delays in the child’s treatment and a whole lot of headaches for your staff.
