April 2004 — More Injuries on the Horizon? When business is stable with slow or no growth, like we've seen in many sectors of our economy over the last several years, the workforce remains stable as well. In this type of business climate, workers are usually well trained and know what they're doing, and injury rates are lower because their knowledge and experience reduce the risk of danger. As the economy grows, as it seems to be doing now, people will be hired and there will be more and more people performing unfamiliar jobs, so the risk of accidents and injuries will be much greater. The key to minimizing accidents and injuries during these times is effective training, coaching and observing of these new employees.
