Safety hazards are those conditions that cause burns, electrical shocks, cuts, bruises, sprains, broken burns or loss of limb, eyesight, or hearing.  Health hazards include toxic and carcinogenic chemicals and dust, often in combination with noise, heat and other contaminants.  Health hazards react with your body.  The results can be lung disease heart disease, cancer, neurological disorder, or systemic poisoning.  Unlike safety hazards, the effect of health hazards may be slow, difficult to diagnose, and complicated by non-occupational factors.

    Workers' Compensation is to provide the injured workers and their families with sufficient resources to maintain an adequate standard of living despite the disability or death.

    Workers' Compensation only pays a portion of your loss.  It does not pay for wage loss, pain or suffering, loss of enjoyment of life's pleasures, or the loss of dignity and confidence that seriously injured workers suffer!

    Workers' Compensation is the only right the injured worker has against the Employer.  It is the most important that YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS to make sure your Employer meets its obligation under the Law.
