Many people associate summer weather with outside recreation, but for outdoor workers, summer brings a variety of occupational hazards. The most common summer safety concerns for outdoor workers are heat stress, sun exposure, noise pollution, and biological hazards.
Employers have an obligation to provide a safe work environment for their outdoor workers, including training and education about the different types of workplace injuries and accidents, occupational illnesses, and the proper use of personal protective equipment.
Heat stress and heat-related illnesses are major concerns for outdoor workers. Workers who are 65 years old and older may have heart disease or high blood pressure, are overweight, or take medications that may be affected by extreme heat.
Exposure to extreme heat can result in heat rashes, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, which can be fatal. To prevent heat-related illnesses, employers should provide cool, shaded areas for workers to take frequent breaks, and avoid scheduling strenuous work during the hottest hours of the day. Workers can also be rotated in shifts to do outdoor tasks.
Outdoor workers may experience various types of injuries and illnesses. Some heat-related injuries and illnesses are more common. Workers should be aware of outdoor hazards so that they are prepared for summer work.
A common hazard in summer is heat rash. Heat rash is the irritation of the skin caused by excessive perspiration. It appears as a cluster of red pimples or small blisters usually in skin creases at the elbows, groin area, under the breasts, or on the neck and upper chest. Workers can use powder to keep the rash area dry and should not use ointments or creams to treat heat rash.
Heat cramps are also common. Heat cramps occur because excessive sweating in extreme heat can deplete the body’s salt and moisture levels. Workers may experience heat cramps as pain or spasms in the abdomen, arms, or legs. To combat heat cramps, avoid salt tablets and drink water. In addition, have a snack or sports drink to replace electrolytes every 15 to 20 minutes. Workers with heart problems, low sodium diets, or whose cramps do not subside within an hour, should seek immediate medical attention.
One serious danger is heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion is a severe bodily response to the loss of water and salt that is caused by excessive sweating. Workers should be aware of certain symptoms:
Anyone suffering from heat exhaustion should be taken to an emergency room for treatment. While waiting for help to arrive, the worker should be moved to a cool area and given frequent sips of cool water and cold compresses to the head and neck area.
Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat stress and can cause permanent disability or even death if emergency treatment is not given. With heat stroke, the body temperature rises rapidly, and the sweating mechanism fails. The body is unable to cool down and regulate its temperature. It is important to be mindful of heat stroke symptoms:
Emergency medical care must be called. Until help arrives, the worker should be moved to a cool area and treated with cold, wet cloths, or an ice bath, if possible.
When workers are outside all day, sun exposure can cause many issues. Sun exposure can have short and long-term consequences for outdoor workers. The ultraviolet rays of the sun can penetrate beyond the top layer of the skin and alter the structure of the skin’s cells.
Unprotected exposure to the sun’s rays can cause painful sunburn and skin cancer. The risk of sun exposure is high between 10 a.m. until four in the afternoon. Additionally, light-colored surfaces or water that is reflecting sunlight increases sunburn and exposure.
Even on cloudy days, outdoor workers should protect themselves from sun exposure by wearing light long-sleeve shirts made of tightly knit fabric, and wear sunscreen and wide brimmed hats. Workers suffering from sunburn can use topical creams to moisturize the area, cool the skin, and ease discomfort. Outdoor workers who develop any irregularly shaped moles or discolorations should see a dermatologist immediately.
Noise pollution can result in occupational hearing loss, which is one of the most common work-related injuries in the United States. Almost all work-related hearing loss is permanent and can profoundly impact a person’s quality of life.
Many outdoor workers use power tools that expose them to hazardous noise levels. If it is difficult to speak with someone at arm’s length and you have to raise your voice, then your work environment is too loud. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has strict guidelines for workplace decibel levels. Employers should use the quietest equipment available and provide workers with hearing protection.
Workers can also experience biological hazards. Biological hazards for outdoor workers include venomous insects, poisonous plants, and vector borne diseases, which are contracted by insect bites.
Depending on the region of the country, outdoor workers may encounter venomous snakes, spiders, and insects. Also, poisonous plant oils can cause severe reactions to the skin. Clearing dangerous plants and brush can release toxins into the air.
Mosquitos and ticks can carry bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Diseases carried by mosquitoes include Zika virus, West Nile virus, dengue, and malaria. Tick borne diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis.
Outdoor workers are more at risk for insect bites in the summer months and should protect themselves by wearing light long-sleeve shirts, long pants, and socks that cover the ankles. Make sure to carry insect repellent. Work sites should have tall grass and brush cut back and all sources of standing water eliminated.
Outdoor workers have the right to a safe working environment during the hot summer months. There are many preventative measures that can be taken to protect outdoor workers from heat stress, sun exposure, noise pollution, and biological hazards. If you have suffered a work-related injury or illness, report it to your employer, and seek medical care immediately.
After you suffer an injury or illness, it is important to contact a lawyer who will help you with a Workers’ Compensation claim. A lawyer will guide you through the process and ensure you receive necessary compensation.
If you have a work-related injury or illness, you may be eligible for compensation. Our dedicated Delaware work accident lawyers at Rhoades & Morrow can help you get the maximum benefits available to you so that you can recover.

June has been named National Safety Month by the National Safety Council. This gives employers the opportunity to consider how to bring more security and peace of mind to everyone. Around 4.5 million employees every year require medical attention due to work-related accidents. Additionally, similar accidents can happen outside of work that leads to personal injury claims. During National Safety Month, everyone should take extra time to practice safety.
Some employees work at desk jobs daily. If their desks, chairs, and other equipment pieces are not ergonomically sound, they may end up feeling fatigued or develop lower back pain, shoulder discomfort, and headaches. Buying ergonomic equipment makes sense from a business standpoint. Although ergonomic products may cost more, these products allow staff members to be more productive and lessen the risk of injuries.
Each year, more than 67,000 people overdose on drugs and lose their lives. In some cases, those overdoses occur because of accidents related to where medicines are stored. All drugs, including over-the-counter medications or prescription medicines, should be kept out of the way of minors. They should also be properly labeled and only taken as expected. Older adults may have trouble remembering whether they took the right number and type of pills. Properly storing medications and using containers and calendars will help everyone monitor their dosages.
Slip and falls cause the death of 34,000 individuals annually. A smart way to lower the likelihood of someone tripping is to keep all floors clear of debris. Flooring should also be even and not torn, ripped, or frayed. Older, damaged floors should be repaired or replaced. In the case of recently mopped floors, temporary barriers and signage should be used to warn people of the wet area.
It might seem strange to worry about first aid kits, but having one available can mean the difference between someone receiving assistance quickly or waiting for medical care. After all, accidents happen on a regular basis and without warning. For that reason, workers should always keep a first aid kit available. First aid kits travel well and can be stored in desks, backpacks, gym bags, purses, suitcases, car consoles, car trunks, bathrooms, garages, and kitchens.
Though traffic and driving laws may seem heavy handed at times, these rules save lives. Just wearing a seat belt can help someone survive a car accident. Statistics culled over the past 45 years show that using seat belts and lap belts reduce the chance of dying in a crash by 45 to 65 percent. Younger drivers may need to be reminded of how to cautiously operate a motorized vehicle, especially when driving for work. However, even seasoned motorists can use refreshers to make sure they avoid hurting themselves or others due to avoidable collisions.
In many industries, workers must wear and use specific types of personal protective equipment (PPE). Whether purchased personally or obtained through the employer, employees must maintain and utilize their PPE to avoid common workplace injuries, including electrocution, crushing injuries, overexertion, lacerations, broken bones, soft tissue sprains and strains, and injuries caused in falling accidents.
During June, many companies offer extra PPE-themed classes to remind workers of the proper ways to safely go about their normal duties. Such classes may be held in conjunction with other training and workshops, such as on-the-job accident protocol updates, injury report notification expectations, and Workers’ Compensation claim filing procedures.
Taking just a few minutes to test alarm-related equipment or to conduct an impromptu fire drill can make sure everyone in the workplace remains safe if a fire breaks out.
Playing it safe extends to personal health, too. Chronic or sudden issues rarely go away on their own and may lead to larger conditions and diseases. Caring for mental and physical health is a must-do as part of personal safety and prevention. Adults of specific ages are urged to undergo exams as these medical procedures and tests help everyone stay healthier by detecting problems early or warding them off entirely. Following health care recommendations based on gender, age, and other factors keeps everyone healthy.
Falling accidents cause fatalities and severe injuries in a variety of fields, including manufacturing and construction. The most reasonable way to keep employees from requiring medical attention caused by falls is by instituting airtight procedures and rules, and then insisting everyone to follow the rules without failure.
Many falls are preventable with the right kind of planning. Assuring employees that they should take their time to make certain they are correctly positioned to avoid a fall is part of every manager’s role and responsibility, as well as making sure all fall-prevention equipment is well-maintained and in working order.
At home, people should be cautious when climbing ladders, working on rooftops, or cutting tree limbs without professional assistance. These activities can end in a trip to the emergency room, not to mention long-term problems, such as extensive traumatic brain injuries.
During this month, everyone should be extra cautious and advocate for safety; however, accidents can still happen. Our Wilmington Workers’ Compensation lawyers at Rhoades & Morrow are here to assist you with your injuries. Call us at 302-427-9500 or contact us online for a free consultation.

Workers are falling ill, some even dying, after being subjected to silica dust while making kitchen and bathroom countertops. There is a new fear that thousands of workers in the United States who make countertops from engineered stone are breathing in dangerous amounts of lung damaging silica dust.
Silica has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. It also causes a condition called silicosis, which occurs when silica dust enters an individual’s lungs and causes scar tissue to form. This reduces the lungs ability to take in oxygen. Silicosis can be classified as chronic or classic silicosis, accelerated silicosis, and acute silicosis. These three categories are defined by:
There is no cure for silicosis. Treatment consists of managing the symptoms, and in severe cases, a lung transplant.
Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone that is bound together by an adhesive. It contains around 90 percent silica. Cutting this type of stone releases the dangerous silica dust.
Engineered stone is now a popular choice for countertops because it is less likely to crack or stain. Engineered stone holds no danger to individuals once the countertops are installed in homes or businesses; however, it is highly dangerous for the employees responsible for cutting the stone for clients.
Silica is dangerous to employees in high risk jobs, such as:
If you work in a job that requires you to be around silica dust, your employer is required by law to protect you. Here are a few things employers can do to protect employees from developing an occupational illness caused by silica dust:
Controlling the silica dust can lower employees’ risk of developing lung disease. There are a variety of proven methods, including cutting the stone while it is still wet, and using a vacuum or infiltration system that removes the silica dust from the air. Even with precautions, workers can still develop a work-related illness. If you are a worker that has become ill due to being exposed to silica dust at work, an experienced lawyer will determine if you are eligible for Workers’ Compensation.

May is Electrical Safety Month, and everyone should be extra cautious when working with electricity. Electricity can cause serious accidents and different types of workplace injuries, so it is important to learn about electrical safety. Electrical workers and employees alike should advocate for safety during Electrical Safety Month and all year round.
In 2016 alone, there were 154 fatal accidents involving electricity on worksites. While this number may seem small compared to the population of the United States, no one should be killed by electricity on a worksite because it is often preventable.
Additionally, 53 percent of these accidents occurred in the construction industry. Proper safety procedures should be used to avoid these accidents in the future. There were also 1,540 non-fatal accidents where employees had to miss work to recover.
If you or your employees work with electricity every day, you should:
You must train your employees to use all the tools that you have provided, and you should update this training every year. You should also give your employees a handbook that outlines the basic safety procedures that are used by your company.
Electrocution or electrical accidents can occur when:
As previously mentioned, you must keep a safe distance when working with electricity, and you should not bring conductors or conductive materials to the worksite. You do not want to accidentally ground the electricity yourself or with another object.
Workers can be injured by electrical currents at any time. These injuries occur when electricity is discharged:
Employers should train their employees to use all equipment properly, and employees should be trained to use basic safety precautions around electricity. At the same time, employers should provide their workers with equipment that is made from non-conductive materials, like ladders. Additionally, ground fault circuit interrupters should be implemented on all worksites. Employers should call off all electrical work if it is wet, extremely hot, or bitterly cold.
Workers often assume they must complete all tasks no matter what because they have a job to do. Your employer, however, should not force you to work in unsafe conditions. Use your better judgement to avoid electrical accidents and protect your coworkers. If a worker does become injured, he or she may be able to file a Workers’ Compensation claim.
You should talk to one of our Wilmington Workers’ Compensation lawyers at Rhoades & Morrow when you have been injured in an electrical accident at work.

Ladders are a common and important everyday tool for those working around the house and at work, but they are certainly not without their dangers. Some people may think ladder injuries may not be serious, but statistics show that falling accidents can lead to disabling injuries, or even death.
In the United States, falls from ladders account for 80 percent of hospital visits from construction workers while other industries see about 20 percent of fall accidents involving ladders. It is also one of the leading causes of disabling workplace injuries, companies see over $5 billion spent on workplace falls each year. Ladders rank among the top 10 on OSHA’s Most Cited Violations Risk when inspecting workplaces. Furthermore, over 100 people a year die due to ladder-related accidents.
There are many common errors people make when using a ladder. The errors mostly involve overreaching for something, improper ladder position, using the wrong ladder or a damaged ladder, improper foundation, and lack of training. The following list contains ladder safety tips:
Workplaces around the country should always make their employees’ safety top priority. Ladder safety awareness is paramount in almost every job industry. Proper use of ladders and training can lower disability costs and prevent injuries in every ladder-related accident across the country.
It is your employer’s duty to provide a safe work environment, including giving you and your fellow coworkers proper safety guidelines and training. Not providing these parameters can lead to unnecessary workplace injuries. If you have been injured at work, then contact one of our Bear Delaware Workers’ Compensation Lawyers at Rhoades & Morrow.

On March 11, 2020, a fire was reported at the Delaware City Refining Company at the Route 9 industrial complex. Two employees were critically injured in the 1:40 p.m. fire that sent flames and black smoke into the sky surrounding the facility. Both victims were first flown to Christiana Hospital in Stanton and then taken to the Crozer Burn Center in Upland, Pennsylvania. The fire was responded to immediately and the flames were controlled quickly. The fire is still under investigation and a cause of incident is currently unknown.
Injuries at work happen frequently and can cause physical, mental and emotional harm on the injured worker. Employers must provide Workers’ Compensation benefits to those who experienced an injury in the workplace. Burns resulting from a workplace fire is covered under Workers’ Compensation. Worker’s Compensation insurance will provide the appropriate benefits to the worker. Benefits include medical compensation, missed wages, disability benefits and more depending on the injury.

In 2018, private sector employers throughout the country reported 2.8 million non-fatal occupational illnesses and injuries. Contact with objects and equipment and slips and fall accidents are among the most common job-related accidents that can leave workers with painful, debilitating injuries.
Not only do these workplace injuries take a physical and emotional toll on workers, but they also have an impact on productivity. To protect workers, every job should have an effective workplace safety program that includes safety training, maintained equipment, safety protocols, and safety enforcement measures.
Safety training is essential for every job. Training should be clear and straightforward and relate directly to the jobs that workers perform daily. Hands-on practice and modeling real-world scenarios will keep employees engaged and will properly prepare them. Safety training needs to be an ongoing process as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and other safety practices evolve and new employees are hired.
While not all jobs require specialized protective gear, many do; without protective clothing, workers could face catastrophic injuries or even illnesses. Safety equipment can be anything from metal gloves for factory employees to fall prevention equipment for those who work at great heights. Additionally, machines, tools, and equipment that workers use every day should be cleaned, inspected, and serviced regularly to prevent dangerous malfunctions.
Established safety protocols and procedures create good habits that prevent tragic workplace accidents and debilitating injuries. OSHA sets and enforces safety standards for most private employers and some public sector employers with education, training, and assistance. These highly specific guidelines are passed down to workers who practice them every day. Employers that violate OSHA standards face fines and other penalties.
Even with good training and protocols in place, some workers still do not take proper precautions before undertaking certain tasks or activities. This negligence can cause injury to not only themselves but to all workers on the job site. Employers should be vigilant while enforcing good safety practices and make certain that all workers comply, or they will face possible disciplinary actions. Also, those who consistently make safety a priority should be recognized or rewarded in some way.
Every worker has an important role in keeping the workplace safe. It is crucial to implement a safety initiative to avoid tragic job-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses.

Regardless of your profession, you may be at risk for suffering a work-related injury. Falling object or a misplaced filing cabinet could easily lead to one of the most common workplace injuries, a fractured or broken bone. Of course, the severity of a fractured bone depends on location and circumstances. Unfortunately, suffering a broken bone at work could lead to extended time off and lost wages.
Broken bones can happen in many circumstances. The leading cause for fractures in the workplace stem from slip and fall accidents; improperly mopped areas or misplaced warning signs could lead to serious injuries. In fact, any kind of impact can break a bone, and it could take weeks or months for fractured bones to properly heal.
There are different types of fractures, some are more serious than others. Fractures can even lead to immobilization and deadly infections. Some common types of fractures include:
Regardless of the type, bone fractures are easier to prove in a workers’ compensation claim. The actions of a negligent employer can lead to an injury like a fracture, so keeping the right medical records are vital to your case.
With a fracture, doctors have an easier time to diagnose the injury and recommend the right therapy or time to heal. Due to a straightforward diagnosis, it is easy to prove that the broken bone happened at work. However, with any workplace injury, a knowledgeable lawyer is required to help you receive the right compensation.
Suffering a fractured bone at work could lead to long rehabilitation, extended time off from work, expensive medical bills, and lost wages. If you have been injured at work, you may be eligible for compensation. Our experienced Wilmington work injury lawyers at Rhodes & Morrow will get you justice and the compensation you rightfully deserve.

Work-related injuries that affect the head and neck are among the most serious injuries that an employee can suffer. Many of these injuries are life-altering, and the person may no longer work again or find themselves unable to perform the duties of their current job.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) often occurs in a workplace accident when an employee is directly hit on the head. The mildest form of a TBI is a concussion, and most people will recover within a few weeks. However, debilitating effects of a concussion can last longer for some individuals, and it may take months for a full recovery. Signs of a concussion include:
Moderate to severe TBIs may result in long-term or permanent impairment. In a worst-case scenario, other than a fatality, the person may lose mobility, the ability to communicate, or require full-time care. One example is a diffuse axonal injury, which results from the brain shaking within the skull due to the forceful trauma. Tissue inside the brain is torn, and death, coma, or severe brain damage can occur.
The most frequent cause of brain injury is trauma, and that may occur from a slip and fall in which a worker’s head hits the floor or a sharp or hard item. Objects falling and hitting an employee may cause a TBI and falls from heights. Workers driving while on the job are also vulnerable to brain and neck injuries if they are in a car accident.
Neck injuries may happen due to heavy lifting, repetitive tasks, or long hours spent at the computer. While TBIs occur suddenly, neck injuries often develop over time due to strain and wear and tear. Early signs of neck injuries include:
Any type of head injury is a medical emergency. The worker should go directly to an emergency room, and they will require transportation. Report the injury to a supervisor immediately. Not all TBIs are apparent right away, but the longer a worker waits to seek medical treatment, the more likely continued brain swelling can cause long-term damage. Failure to go to the doctor quickly may cause the insurance company to allege the injury did not result from a workplace accident, seriously harming your claim.
A neck injury, if more gradual, still requires reporting and medical treatment. Unless the condition comes on suddenly, the worker may have to visit a healthcare provider recommended by the employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance company. The injured worker should document workplace activities that are contributing to the neck pain.
There are more serious neck injuries, such as fractures, which may cause paralysis. Of course, these injuries also require treatment in the emergency room.
If you experienced a brain or neck injury due to a workplace accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Our dedicated Wilmington work injury lawyers at Rhoades & Morrow will fight to protect your rights and help you obtain maximum compensation. Contact us online or call us at 302-427-9500 for a free consultation regarding your case. Located in Bear, Milford, and Wilmington, Delaware, we also serve clients in Elsmere and Seaford.
Millions of part-time and full-time employees work in factory settings around the nation. Every day, factory workers put themselves at risk for being injured. In fact, factories are notorious for being hazardous work environments. Due to heavy machinery, moving parts, and slippery surfaces, factory environments have earned a reputation as being quite dangerous. Several types of work-related injuries are more likely to occur in factory settings than in any other workspace.
When a worker must navigate between moving machine parts, the worker may become caught in the machine. Sometimes, the worker cannot stop the parts quickly enough to avoid being crushed or stuck. These types of accidents can lead to anything from amputation to broken bones.
Muscle sprains, strains, pulls, and tears may occur in factory workers that engage in repetitive actions. As employees move their bodies to accommodate their tasks, they may irritate and over-exert muscles and tendons. Over time, these injuries can become problematic, leading to a lifetime of aches and pains.
Falling accidents can occur for several reasons. Factory workers can easily fall because they often work in high areas and walk along slick floors. At best, falls can result in bruises or soreness. However, more serious falls can cause extensive trauma and head injuries. A concussed factory worker may not be able to return to the floor for days or weeks, if at all. This depends on how the concussion manifests.
Just about everyone experiences a back pain. Factory workers are more inclined to experience consistent and excruciating back pain. Whether the pain stems from injury to the lower, middle, or upper back, it can become the source of a serious debilitation. Workers may require extensive back surgery and physical therapy to relieve their constant discomfort.
Factories are well-known for being noisy places. If decibel levels exceed acceptable ranges, workers must wear personal protective devices, like designated ear plugs. Yet, employees may still develop hearing loss after working in a factory for many years.
Some manufacturing employees may be exposed to substances that can lead to poisoning and illnesses. Any factory workers who encounter chemicals or toxins need to wear the proper protective gear. Individuals who wear proper gear can still experience medical problems related to constant exposure.
Factory workers who have been hurt on the job should be protected by Workers’ Compensation benefits. Employees who receive compensation may feel their injuries were caused by employer negligence. It is important to take necessary steps to file a lawsuit.
If you suffered an injury due to a workplace accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Our experienced Wilmington work injury lawyers at Rhoades & Morrow will fight to protect your rights and help you obtain maximum compensation.
