This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.

The book discusses the all-important issues of fraud, modified duty, substance abuse testing and accident investigations. It also provides guidance for managing your organization's safety efforts in a manner that targets workers' compensation cost control as one of its major objectives. In addition to comprehensive coverage of workers' compensation, the book gives you a thorough explanation of additional sources of assistance, including the availability and utility of Internet safety resources, a complete listing of state workers' compensation agencies, and sample checklists that help you evaluate your workplace. Although workers' compensation laws vary from state-to-state, the principles behind the system and the ability of employers to influence their own premiums remain consistent. By gaining a thorough understanding of these principles and implementing proven cost control strategies, you can realize substantial savings. Managing Workers' Compensation: A Guide to Injury Reduction and Effective Claim Management explains the process by which premiums are calculated and shows how you can impact - favorably - the amount your organization pays in premiums.

This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirroring a worldwide phenomenon in industrialized nations, the U.S. is experiencing a change in its demographic structure known as population aging. Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation's work opportunities.

This book was released on 1998-12-18 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Massachusetts, a 12-year-old girl delivering newspapers is killed when a car strikes her bicycle. In Los Angeles, a 14-year-old boy repeatedly falls asleep in class, exhausted from his evening job. Although children and adolescents may benefit from working, there may also be negative social effects and sometimes danger in their jobs. Protecting Youth at Work looks at what is known about work done by children and adolescents and the effects of that work on their physical and emotional health and social functioning. The committee recommends specific initiatives for legislators, regulators, researchers, and employers. This book provides historical perspective on working children and adolescents in America and explores the framework of child labor laws that govern that work. The committee presents a wide range of data and analysis on the scope of youth employment, factors that put children and adolescents at risk in the workplace, and the positive and negative effects of employment, including data on educational attainment and lifestyle choices. Protecting Youth at Work also includes discussions of special issues for minority and disadvantaged youth, young workers in agriculture, and children who work in family-owned businesses.

Download or read book What Are Workplace Injuries, The Different Types Of Workplace Injuries, The Various Causes Of Workplace Injuries, And The Problems With Contracting A Workplace Injury written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what are workplace injuries, demystifies the different types of workplace injuries, reveals the various causes of workplace injuries, and delineates the problems with contracting a workplace injury. Succinctly stated, workplace injuries are injuries that transpire at the workplace. Succinctly stated, workplace injuries are injuries that transpire at the workplace. Working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite renders a person all the more prone to contracting workplace injuries. The more hazardous that the employee working conditions are at the employer’s jobsite, the higher the probability that a person who works a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand at the employer’s jobsite is at to contract a workplace injury. Succumbing to a workplace injury cannot only be a traumatic experience that causes immense distress, but can also be a harrowing experience that can potentially render a person maimed. If a person becomes maimed as a result of having worked a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand in an industry that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite, then it can severely undermine his well-being and can also adversely impinge on his quality of life. If a person becomes maimed as a result of having worked a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand in an industry that has dangerous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite, then it can also render it far more cumbersome for him to be able to perform basic functions. Having a vessel that is severely maimed can render a person all the more vulnerable to experiencing chronic inflammation. Nothing beneficent can ever ensue from succumbing to becoming maimed. Succumbing to severe workplace injuries can severely ravage the vessel. Working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite imperils a person every employee shift and renders it a perilous undertaking for a person to sustain working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite. The type of real private sector job based on voluntary demand that a person works will have bearing on determining his working conditions. For instance, the working conditions are vastly disparate for digital entrepreneurs than they are for people who work real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand in the manufacturing industry, warehousing industry, retail industry, restaurant industry, and customer service industry. A person should abstain from working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions. By desisting from working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions, a person is able to significantly reduce the likelihood that he will get maimed from a workplace injury. It is significantly easier to perform basic functions when you have a vessel that is not maimed than it is to do so when you have a vessel that is maimed. Having a vessel that is not maimed can also render a person all the less prone to experiencing chronic inflammation in contexts in which a person follows health optimization measures and also always abstains from engaging in any insalubrious activities that can adversely wreak havoc against any facet of his health. Having a vessel that is not maimed can render it all the more easier for a person to engage in moderate intensity exercises for the prospect of reaping the health benefits of exercising. Having a vessel that is not maimed can also render it all the more of a viability for a person to play matches in competitive sports leagues. It stands to preponderantly reason that having a vessel that is not maimed can immensely redound to a person’s advantage in a multitude of disparate ways.

Download or read book Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses written by J. Paul Leigh and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the debate over health care reform continues, costs have become a critical measure in the many plans and proposals to come before us. Knowing costs is important because it allows comparisons across such disparate health conditions as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and cancer. This book presents the results of a major study estimating the large and largely overlooked costs of occupational injury and illness--costs as large as those for cancer and over four times the costs of AIDS. The incidence and mortality of occupational injury and illness were assessed by reviewing data from national surveys and applied an attributable-risk-proportion method. Costs were assessed using the human capital method that decomposes costs into direct categories such as medical costs and insurance administration expenses, as well as indirect categories such as lost earnings and lost fringe benefits. The total is estimated to be $155 billion and is likely to be low as it does not include costs associated with pain and suffering or of home care provided by family members. Invaluable as an aid in the analysis of policy issues, Costs of Occupational Injuryand Illness will serve as a resource and reference for economists, policy analysts, public health researchers, insurance administrators, labor unions and labor lawyers, benefits managers, and environmental scientists, among others.

Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dying to Work, Jonathan Karmel raises our awareness of unsafe working conditions with accounts of workers who were needlessly injured or killed on the job. Based on heart-wrenching interviews Karmel conducted with injured workers and surviving family members across the country, the stories in this book are introduced in a way that helps place them in a historical and political context and represent a wide survey of the American workplace, including, among others, warehouse workers, grocery store clerks, hotel housekeepers, and river dredgers. Karmel’s examples are portraits of the lives and dreams cut short and reports of the workplace incidents that tragically changed the lives of everyone around them. Dying to Work includes incidents from industries and jobs that we do not commonly associate with injuries and fatalities and highlights the risks faced by workers who are hidden in plain view all around us. While exposing the failure of safety laws that leave millions of workers without compensation and employers without any meaningful incentive to protect their workers, Karmel offers the reader some hope in the form of policy suggestions that may make American workers safer and employers more accountable. This is a book for anyone interested in issues of worker health and safety, and it will also serve as the cornerstone for courses in public policy, community health, labor studies, business ethics, regulation and safety, and occupational and environmental health policy.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers' Compensation insurance, which covers all medical expenses and part of the lost wagesassociated with injuries, cost employers $63.9 billion in 2001 (National Academy of SocialInsurance, 2004). The indirect costs of accidents lost wages, damage to equipment, trainingand rehabilitation expenses are several times this amount. On the job injury costs are animportant component of the firm's operating expenses. Human resource management can change workers' incentives to take more care on the job (accident prevention), improve workers' incentives to return to work following an accident (loss reduction), and improve workplace efficiency by appropriately involving workers in the firm's decision making.
