According to Wikipedia www.wikipedia.com, the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) www.osha.gov is an agency of the United States Department of Labor www.dol.gov. Created by Congress under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, signed by President Richard M. Nixon, on December 29, 1970, with the mission to prevent work related injuries, illnesses, and deaths by issuing and enforcing rules (called standards) for workplace safety and health.

November 21, 2008, Daytona Beach, FL (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–Aggressive employee injury advocate in the Florida courts, Daytona Beach worker injury attorney, Allan Ziffra, reports 100,000 laborers are injured from falls on construction sites each year according to the United States government department of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Falls are the second most common cause of workplace deaths nationwide. Ironworker Drew Mecutchen, 44, fell from a five-story construction site at a new hospital in North Philadelphia last December and died from his injuries. Mecutchen represents one, of 442 construction workers, who died in falls at job sites last year in America.

Concerned Volusia County employee injury attorney, Allan Ziffra, with the Daytona Beach, FL workers’ compensation law firm of Rue & Ziffra informs Americans that workers’ compensation is a benefit available to nearly all employees in Florida who suffer an injury at the workplace or while on the job. Ziffra asserts the following steps need to be taken by all workers injured on the job:

-Immediately report any injury, no matter how minimal, to your direct supervisor
-Access medical care when the injury occurs
-Document your wages
-Document all of your injuries and any symptoms.

Assertive Central Florida construction accident litigator, Ziffra, is urging American workers to know their employee rights. Workers’ compensation law was established to safeguard employees who are injured on the job. The State of Florida Workers’ Compensation Law functions as a safety net, allowing workers to quickly receive pay so their families are not financially devastated by their injuries.
Consulting a labor injury attorney, when injured on the job, may help U.S. workers receive the medical attention and lost wages they are entitled to under workers’ compensation insurance benefits laws.
