Federal workplace safety to improve by 2014

Posted on July 30th, 2010 No Comments

Earlier this month, President Obama signed an order telling all federal agencies to improve their workplace safety standards by 2014.  He hopes in four years if agencies work to improve safety in the workplace they can reduce the number of injuries and illness acquired on the job, reduce the amount of time spent to review a claim, and speed up an injured or ill employee’s return to the workplace.

In 2009, the federal government spent $1.6 billion on workers’ compensation and 79,000 new claims were filed by federal employees.

Federal agencies will have to pay for any improvements needed to increase employee safety standards.

If you or someone you love is seeking workers’ compensation, contact the Des Moines workers’ compensation attorneys of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. at 877-327-2600 to learn more about your rights.

Posted on July 23rd, 2010 No Comments

According to KIMT, “Last May, Keegan Henry, 17 of Nashua fell at least 60 feet from the top of the tallest silo at The Mill Incorporated at 102 Sample Street in Nashua.” The owner still claims he does not know what the worker was doing at the top at that time.

Now, the company has been ticketed by Iowa Occupational Safety and Health Bureau. KIMT reports, the company is being cited for “6 “serious” safety violations and proposing penalties of $5,100.

Employees took about an hour to located Henry below the empty silo. Henry is still recovering at a special center, and family members say he remains in a partial coma.

The company has not yet made a decision about whether to contest the violations.

Blue Bunny’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor is under renovation. The first step was to replace the roof. Construction workers suffered a setback yesterday when a wall caved in trapping up to four construction workers. Two men were able to free themselves and sustained minor injuries. One required firefighter’s assistance and was removed from the scene on a stretcher.

According to the WCF Courier, “The wall was located between the ice cream parlor and Timmy’s Catering Service. No employees in the other business were injured.”

The renovated ice cream parlor is set to open next year. Officials say work will not resume until the Parlor is deemed safe.
