Employees who work from home may be at a higher risk of injury. While most cases go unreported, there have been notable examples of workers' compensation benefits being awarded for injuries that were suffered while the worker was at home. In one case, it was held that an employee was eligible for benefits after he slipped on his driveway, fell and was subsequently paralyzed.
It is not uncommon for employers to provide safety protections against falling hazards and exposure to dangerous materials but to fail to take into account for the potential dangers of long-term exposure to vibrations. While vibrations from equipment, such as saws, sanders, chipping hammers and other power tools may seem innocuous, they can lead to a number of medical conditions.
