Healthcare workers, especially those employed by nursing homes, perform a variety of lifting tasks that put extreme strain on their bodies. Often, an employee must physically support and move residents who are larger and heavier than he or she can bear. As a result, these workers are at high risk for developing job-related injuries. Nursing aides, orderlies and attendants have the highest incidence rate of musculoskeletal disorders, two times greater the average rate of all occupations. A recent study showed that healthcare workers sustained 47,840 injuries over a period of a year that required days away from work, the second highest of any occupation. Overexertion was the leading cause or exposure for those injuries.

Fires are a significant risk to businesses in the construction industry. In addition to significant property damage, they can cause serious injuries and death. One source of fires is spontaneous combustion, or spontaneous ignition, in which fires start without the presence of an external heat source. Several conditions, including the improper storage or disposal of combustible materials, can create conditions for this process to occur. Knowing about and addressing factors contributing to this hazard can help prevent it, and by taking steps to mitigate this risk, employers can help protect people at their worksite and their property.
