Two road construction workers in Florida saw their lives earlier this week when a woman driving a Toyota Solara crashed into them.  Another worker was injured in the accident, but is expected to survive. 

According to reports, the woman did not see the workers and lost control hitting them.  The woman then hit another car that was near the road.  

Charges are pending against the driver.  Police have already stated that the woman was at fault, so serious charges can be brought down against her.

Trains are a vital trade line for our nation.  Millions of tons of cargo is shipped each and every year on railroads across America. 

Many workers face the possibility of being injured on a railroad every day.  The injuries can occur in a variety of ways.  Collisions and a derailing of the train are some of the most serious accidents that a worker could potentially face.  Other common injuries for train workers are slip and falls, or other injuries that are typically associated with a traditional work place.

Fast food workers face many dangers throughout the day.  Many of the workers employed by fast food companies are just starting out, and may not have a lot of cooking experience before starting the job.  This can cause problems when the worker is employed with the task of working with sharp objects, extremely hot grease, and hot stoves.

Many young individuals are injured each year from accidents at fast food locations.  These types of accidents can happen suddenly, and leave the worker injured.  One of the most common type of injury in fast food locations is slip and fall injuries from the frantic pace that many companies try and have.

A New York city transit worker has won a settlement of $13 million dollars falling an accident where the man fell over 30 feet to the ground below. The man fell when a board he was standing out gave-out from under him, causing him to fall. The man landed face first on a metal grate on the ground.

The accident caused  the worker to be in a coma for two months. 

It was found that no one had told the man that the area he was standing out had the metal bolts removed and was unstable.  The jury ruled in favor of the worker, and awarded him $13 million for the accident and injuries he suffered.

Electrical accidents are a serious danger to many workers.  Many construction workers have to dig holes and sometimes risk hitting electrical wires that are underground. 

One of the main dangers of electrical risk is that an individual is often unable to be immediately aided.  It occurs many times, but when someone goes to aid an individual who is electrocuted,  that person will get shocked as well.

It is important that if a company has any possibility of electrical risk, that the company take the proper safety steps and have a procedure for dealing with electrocution.
