If your business employs one or more persons, you are required by law to provide medical treatment for workers injured on the job. BaptistWorx can help.

Statistics on Workplace Injuries

According to statistics provided by OSHA and the Kentucky Labor Cabinet:

• One out of every 11 private sector workers in Kentucky experienced a job-related injury or illness during 1996.
  
  
• Of the total number of cases reported, 47 percent resulted in lost workdays.
  
  
• Of the 6.2 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported across the nation in 1996, nearly 5.8 million resulted in either lost work time, medical treatment other than first aid, loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion or transfer to another job.
  
  
• No industry or job classification is immune. Disorders associated with repeated trauma, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and noise-induced hearing loss, are the dominant type of workplace illness reported.
  
  
• "Virtually no one is without risk of being seriously injured on the job, " the Labor Cabinet concludes.
  
  
• Medium-size establishments, employing 50 to 249 workers, are particularly at risk.
  
  
• Workplace injuries and lost workdays cost your firm money and diminish your productivity.

Use of a quality, full-service occupational medicine provider is the most convenient, responsive and cost-effective way for you to discharge your legal obligations, shield yourself from risk and get your employees back on the job. BaptistWorx has been designed specifically with the needs of businesses and their employees in mind.
