Workman’s Comp and those bugs…
I would probably venture that most people wouldn’t consider that a bug bite might fall under a workman’s compensation claim. Read this article at http://www.ReduceYourWorkersComp.com by Rebecca Shafer, J.D. on Workers Comp Claims from Spiders, Bees, Fire Ants, Fleas, Mosquitoes, Bedbugs, Wasps, Hornets, Lice, Scorpions, Ticks, Mites, Bites, and Stings.
I think most of us don’t even think before we pick up something in the yard or garage, but maybe we should. That spider or scorpion is going to react and not in a good way. Put on gloves before you move anything that has been laying around.
A few tips:
-
Don’t stack things next to outside of your home.
-
Where gloves when moving items.
-
Garages and sheds are notorious for unwanted visitors, use caution.
-
Inspect your property monthly for signs of activity.
-
If you notice a hole, fill and patch it. If you notice bees call a Pest Management Professional.
If you’re allergic maybe you should consider having a key ring (picture from their site) or bracelet http://www.goodsforgiving.com
