Are you one of the 3.5 million commercial truck drivers nationwide? Whether your job as a commercial vehicle operator takes you across state lines or mostly around Bettendorf and other areas in Iowa, you will face multiple safety risks.
Truckers risk their lives on and off the road
Does your boss protect you from bloodborne pathogens?
We all know that contact with blood and other bodily fluids is par for the course for health care workers and first responders. However, if clean-up or first aid duties form a part of your employment in Iowa, you face similar risks of infections through bloodborne pathogens. Does your employer have an exposure control plan in place to protect you?
How serious is your boss about construction site safety?
Year after year, the construction industry is one of the most dangerous workplaces in Iowa and across the country. Under the safety standards mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, your safety is the responsibility of your employer. If the construction company owner does not prioritize the safety of you and your co-workers, your chance of ending up in a hospital with debilitating injuries are high.
