Understanding Your Rights After a Workplace Injury Accident

by

Rhode Island’s compact size does not lessen the risks employees face across its hospitals, construction sites, warehouses, restaurants, offices, and other workplaces.

State law gives injured workers certain protections, but knowing how those protections apply can be difficult when medical concerns and job-related pressures arrive at the same time.

A workplace injury can disrupt physical health, income, family responsibilities, and future employment. The first days often bring medical appointments, employer paperwork, and uncertainty about missed wages. Each claim depends on its own facts, including the accident’s cause, treatment needs, and work restrictions. [Read more…] about Understanding Your Rights After a Workplace Injury Accident

Employee Handbook Translation Services Are No Longer Optional for Modern Workplaces

by

Summary

  • Employee handbooks explain workplace expectations and policies

Why Safety Relays Are the Unsung Heroes of Modern Industrial Automation

by

In a modern factory, where robots work alongside humans and massive conveyor systems operate at high speeds, safety is paramount.

But have you ever stopped to consider how all these machines know when to stop? More often than not, the unsung hero behind this seamless operation is a humble device known as a safety relay.

Imagine this: a worker inadvertently opens a safety gate while a machine is running. In that split second, a safety relay detects the breach and cuts the power, preventing potential harm. [Read more…] about Why Safety Relays Are the Unsung Heroes of Modern Industrial Automation

Occupational safety: Where workers fear to tread

by

Even now, after decades of government-directed safety regulations, factories and industrial environments can still be extremely dangerous places for humans to work in.

Despite the current trend towards collaborative robots and the largely conceptual framework of all-pervasive cyber-physical systems, where previously dangerous machines – such as industrial robotic arms and autonomous mobile vehicles – are increasingly designed to be inherently safe for humans to work directly with, thousands of deaths and injuries still occur in workshops and on the shop floor.

Statistics released by the US Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration show that more than 5,000 workers were killed on the job over the course of 2016 in the US alone, although this figure includes data from many different sectors, not just manufacturing, logistics and industry.  [Read more…] about Occupational safety: Where workers fear to tread
