Rest Breaks and NJ Workers Compensation Insurance!

There may be other motivating factors, but the
main goal of all business owners or employers is to make money. The production
of goods or a service is usually the source of that money. Who are the main
producers of that goods or service? Your employees. That makes employees the
backbone of business and extremely valuable to business owners. In the
workplace, your employees’ safety should be one of your top priorities.

It has long been understood, although perhaps
not proven, that taking regular breaks in the workplace may reduce accidents.
Reducing the risk of accidents reduces the risk of claims on your NJ
workers compensation insurance. Many workers have a quick drink on
their breaks, and a combination of hydration and being briefly off duty lessens
fatigue.

Problems caused by fatigue can include:

• Impediment of normal reaction time
• Usual hand-eye coordination affected
• Decision-making ability impaired
• Confused communication
• General irritation and impatience

As you may already be aware, these problems can
lead to poor decisions, accidents and injury. In order to safeguard both your
employees and yourself against fatigue-related accidents, ensure your workers
take full advantage of their entitled rest and meal breaks. It’s such a simple
thing, but it’s one that can help to keep your business running smoothly
without preventable NJ workers
compensation claims. At Reiner Insurance, we want to make you feel
comfortable when selecting a coverage, so contact us today. We have all the
answers!
