"On-the-job" injuries affect all types of people, doing all types of work. Each year over 570,000 workers are injured... at a cost to employers of over $100 billion annually. Studies show that the majority of workplace injuries could be avoided if employees used the proper personal protective equipment. Yet many people have little idea of what protective equipment should be used in their jobs, or how to use it properly.
