Trucking Industry Practices that Endanger Drivers
Georgia Truck Accident Attorneys
Interstate 20 runs through the heart of Georgia and is a main thoroughfare in the southern states from South Carolina all the way through Texas. It is no surprise that the trucking industry heavily populates this corridor, transporting goods across the entire southeast. The more semi-trucks on the road the higher the rates of trucking accidents occur. If you or your loved one have been in a Georgia trucking accident the Grant Law Office may be able to help you.
How Modern Cars Reduce Distracted Driving Risk
Smartphone technology and GPS are excellent modern tools for drivers, but they also interfere with the capacity to pay attention. Distracted driving is dangerous. All drivers know it, yet they still do it.
The Obligations of Security Guards in Public Spaces
People tend to pay more attention to their own behavior when there is a uniform or a badge around. Security guards play many roles when securing public facilities. Their presence ensures the safety of people, premises, and objects located by deterring people from acting outside of the rules of the space or the laws in the region.
PPE for Welders
Welders face a number of occupational hazards on a daily basis. They are routinely exposed to flames, hot or sparking arcs, flying debris, and slag vapor. Welding accidents account for approximately 25% of fatal workplace accidents and include approximately one-third of all nonfatal amputations, as stated by Water Welders. Approximately 1,000 welders suffer injury for every 100 million work hours. This is much higher than the average injury rate for other workers. Welding safety hazards include:
- Fire and explosions
- Exposure to gasses and fumes
- Physical hazards, including cuts, crushing, and burns
Construction Accidents Caused by Falling Materials
Falling objects are one of the leading causes of work-related fatalities. “Struck-by” incidents rank among OSHA’s “Fatal Four” hazards in the construction industry. OSHA safety standards are designed to prevent injuries to workers from falling objects. Many falling materials accidents are caused by negligence.
Beware of Atlanta Winter Road Hazards
When winter storms hit Georgia, they can make driving conditions hazardous on local roads. Snow and freezing rain can quickly turn roadways into slick, icy surfaces. High winds can down trees and cause traffic signals to go out, making driving around town even more treacherous. It is best to stay at home during a winter storm if you are able. If you must go out, be aware of the winter road hazards in Atlanta.
