Tips for Avoiding Head Injuries at Work

June 8, 2018 By Castrodale Law

On behalf of Castrodale Law, LLC posted in workplace safety on Friday, June 8, 2018.

Head injuries are some of the most common types of injuries that occur at work. You don’t have to be working on a construction site or at an inherently dangerous job to suffer a head injury, either. Head injuries can occur anywhere to anyone without warning. Here are some important safety tips to help you avoid suffering a head injury at work in Columbus, Ohio.

No matter where you work, you need to ensure that you are safe at all times. Items can fall from heights and hit you. You could bang your head on a piece of furniture when standing up from picking something up off the floor. You can also suffer a head injury if you are not safe when in a warehouse.

If there is an area of your work where a hard hat is required, be sure to don it at all times. You should be removed from these areas immediately if you don’t don a hart hat. A hard hat can help prevent concussions and more serious injuries to your head and even your brain.

Check the area around your work station for problems that could be hazardous to your safety. Make sure that any items on shelves above your head are secure and cannot fall onto you while working. This includes items that you decorate your cubicle or office with from home.

A head injury could put you out of work for an extended period in Columbus. You could need rehabilitation to heal and you might still not heal completely. If you follow the safety tips in this post, you should have no trouble avoiding such an injury on the job.
