Workers Get Trained! Says NY Construction Accident Lawyers

admin  Construction  

In the construction industry, the importance of training is often overlooked. Whether youre a carpenter, plumber, electrician, etc., no matter what your level of experience might be, you should insist that you get the proper training for the equipment you are asked to use. All too often, serious workplace injuries occur because workers fear asking for the appropriate safe guards, and because construction companies and project engineers assume that workers already know how to safely operate the equipment and thus, do not address this issue.

For example the case of man named Albert (not his real name), whose case our firm brought to trial. At age 29, Albert already had a considerable amount of experience as a plumber when he took a new job that required him to install ceiling pipes in a building in Manhattan. In order to reach the 20-foot ceilings he had to stand on a “lift” (a manual crank device) provided by the construction company in charge of the project. When in use, a lift of this kind should only be operated with the support of outriggers. (Outriggers are legs that provide stability for the raised lift.) Unfortunately for Albert, the lift he was working on had no outriggers, and while drilling, his drill struck a steel reinforcement bar that was embedded in the concrete. The drill twisted violently and Albert and the entire lift were brought down to the ground. Albert sustained terrible injuries from this accident including torn wrists tendons, shoulder damage, nerve damage, a fracture to his head, and an arm injury that required elbow replacement surgery. He can no longer work as a plumber, and has endured terrible pain and suffering.

admin  Automotive  

While the vast majority of Americans opt to travel by car or SUV, many others prefer the feel of the wind in their hair, the exciting roar of a powerful engine and the feeling of wild abandon that they experience when riding a motorcycle. For those motorcycle owners, nothing less will do. Once you’ve had a chance to consider the benefits and advantages of motorcycle ownership; however, you may come around to their way of thinking.

One of the major benefits of riding a motorcycle is the cost savings over operating a car. The initial purchase of the motorcycle almost always offers a cost savings over a car purchase, unless you choose to buy a top-of-the-line bike. Motorcycles are also considerably lighter than most cars and use substantially less gas, resulting in reduced financial output for their owners. Motorcycles often get double the per-gallon gas mileage that cars do. The fact that motorcycles produce less pollution makes them a green choice that pleases those concerned with protecting the environment.

When you work as a door-to-door salesperson, making a good first impressions is absolutely crucial! Nothing can be more devastating to your spirit than getting the door slammed in your face over and over again. In fact every rejection you get at the door makes you perform worse at the next one. Making it a negative spiral.

First things first. You gotta where the right clothes. People tend to buy from eighter people that are similar to them, or people they look up to. That means you can’t wear ugly and dirty clothes. Would you have let somebody into your house that looked like an bum? Certainly not, and so wouldn’t your prospects eighter. On the other end, dress to nice, and you would just look plain silly. The key is to wear clothes that are as neutral as possible. For a male salesperson a clean pair of jeans (with no holes in them), and a shirt works perfectly. Having tried a lot of different colours over the years, different shades of dark blue tend to work very well. As for shoes, it’s important that they are waterproof. The moment you are wet on your feet, that salesday is basicly over. Making a trail of water from wet socks on your prospects living room floor won’t give you any sales.
