How New York Hospital Workers May Be Injured

Hospitals are considered one of the most dangerous places to work in the United States. There are many risks while working at a hospital, particularly in busy states such as New York. They include the following.

  • Being exposed to bacteria, chemicals, viruses, and bodily fluids
  • Lifting patients without help
  • Handling sharp objects
  • Handling contaminated objects
  • Possible harm from violent patients
  • Tripping or falling while moving quickly across slippery floors
  • Overexertion
  • Repetitive stress injuries

The Most Common Hospital Injury

The most common cause of hospital worker injuries occurs when moving patients. Hospital workers help patients in and out of bed daily, move them around in wheelchairs, and lift and relocate them for various reasons.

This can be a safety hazard. While there are ways to lift heavy objects without straining your back or pulling a muscle, you cannot use these methods for lifting and moving a person, especially if it needs to be done urgently. If you are a nurse or aide, you are at high risk of injuring your back or other parts of your body while moving patients.

How to Prevent New York Hospital Worker Injuries

There are steps you can take to protect yourself from getting injured while working at a hospital, some of which include:

  • Following safety guidelines
  • Using equipment properly and requesting help when it is needed
  • Disposing of hazardous items with care and strictly as directed
  • Waiting to get help moving patients if possible
  • Reporting accidents as soon as they happen

By following these points, you can help create a safer workplace for yourself and your coworkers.

What to Do If You Were Injured While Working at a New York Hospital

If you are injured, an attorney can help determine what your next steps are. The lawyers at Shulman & Hill can assist with filing a workers’ compensation claim, gathering evidence to support your claim, completing relevant paperwork, and more.
