Each year, millions of employees sustain injuries in the workplace. While many of these injuries can be attributed to hazardous conditions or dangerous work practices, you can take steps to decrease your chances of suffering a work-related injury.

Be vigilant about workplace risks. While employers should provide adequate training on how to perform your job safely, you should ask for additional training if you are unsure about how to use a certain piece of equipment or perform an aspect of your responsibilities. You should also report any potential hazards to your supervisor and follow up to make sure the condition was corrected.

Avoid overexertion. Carrying, pushing, pulling or lifting heavy objects can lead to serious injuries, rendering you unable to perform your job functions in the future. Overexerting yourself doesn’t just lead to back problems; it can also injure your heart or lungs. Always use safe lifting techniques and use another mechanism, such as a dolly, to avoid hurting yourself.

Always use the proper equipment. If your employer provides safety equipment, always ensure that it is in good working order and has been maintained properly. You should also wear the right footwear to avoid a dangerous slip and fall accident.

Know that when you suffer a work injury, you may have grounds to pursue Workers' Compensation. It’s highly advised to seek help from a Des Moines attorney.
