If you are a construction or demolition worker, and you rig or work on scaffolds or on ladders, or in construction ditches, OSHA has posted a list of the worst hazards you face. Be your own on-site advocate. Make sure that you demand proper safety equipment, and that you work with the very best safety techniques.
Demasiados accidentes de construcción, demasiadas muertes
Yo leí este artículo en el Daily News con un sentido de tremendo dolor y indignación.

Esto es una vergüenza.
DAVID KLEIN TEACHES WORKERS COMP AT LINCOLN HOSPITAL
I was very proud to be asked to teach a class in Workers' Compensation, Personal Injury, and Social Security Disability laws at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx.
