Accidents happen. When they happen in the workplace, it's important that you follow through and take the proper steps. Unfortunately, most employees aren't prepared when an injury occurs. It's natural to assume that such injuries would never happen to us. When they do, taking the right steps at the right time can be confusing and feel overwhelming. In this article, you'll discover the steps you need to take in order to deal with an injury at work.
Report The Injury Quickly
First, report your injury to your employer. Your accident needs to be documented in your employer's accident book. Provide as many details as you're able including the date of the accident, who was injured and any circumstances that led to the accident. Don't wait too long to report the event. If the injuries you sustained become worse, there needs to be a record of the event in the accident book to make a claim.
Take Notes Of The Events
Because most accidents happen quickly, it's easy to either confuse or forget many of the important details. Think back on what led to the accident and your injury. Write down notes. Otherwise, you'll likely forget over time. In the event you're questioned about the accident while making a claim, you can simply refer to your notes for an accurate record.
Talk To Witnesses
If anyone observed you while you were injured, speak with that person about the event. Take the details they offer about how things transpired that eventually led to your injury. If nobody witnessed your accident, speak with people who may be familiar with a component (i.e. process, system, machinery, etc.) that may have been a contributing factor.
Visit Your Doctor
Make sure you have your doctor examine your injury. First, this ensures that you'll receive the medical care you need to recover from your injury properly. Second, it further establishes a record of the event, including the steps taken by the doctor to help you recover.
Make The Claim
Once you've reported your injury to your employer, taken notes of the accident and the events leading up to it, spoken with witnesses and visited your doctor, make your claim. You may be due compensation for days missed from work, pain and suffering associated with your injury and the cost of surgical procedures or medications. Once your claim has been approved, your employer's insurance company will distribute any compensation due to you.
Being injured in the workplace can be a frightening experience. It can lead to lost earnings, medical bills and other expenses. If you become injured while doing your job, follow the steps that we've detailed above. It's the quickest way to receive compensation for any accident in which you're involved.

Toilet Seat Covers And How They Can Protect You
On average a well run company will clean its restrooms 3 days a week. Of those 3 cleaning days the toilet seats will be cleaned maybe once. If you work for a company that has 50 employees with 5 toilets in the building, the average toilet seat will be sat on 50 times before it is wiped down and cleaned off. What this means is that when you sit down on a toilet in that company, 50 more people have sat there before you with nothing separating there bare behind from the toilet seat you're now sitting on.
Toilets breed bacteria and germs, it is a moist warm environment where certain bacteria that are extremely bad for us thrive. A great way to protect yourself from germs living in a toilet and germs spread from person to person is to utilize a toilet seat cover when you sit on a toilet. Many private and public restrooms make available toilet seat covers which are usually mounted on a toilet stall wall in a toilet seat cover dispenser. For every restroom that offers toilet seat covers there are at least 10 that do not. A toilet seat cover can be folded up into a relatively small piece of paper smaller in size than the average envelope. They can be easily carried in a pocket or a purse for when you need it.
Toilet seat covers come in one basic style and are used as a barrier between you and a well used toilet seat. Some toilet seat covers are treated with a wax so they can be dispensed more easily from a toilet seat cover dispenser. Toilet seat covers can be purchased on cleaning supply websites and are usually sold in packs of 250 to 1000 toilet seat covers per pack. Toilet seat cover dispensers come in many styles and colors and can accent any taste in decorating. These dispensers can easily be mounted on a toilet stall wall or on a permanent wall behind the toilet. Toilet seat cover dispensers come in many colors including white, black, stainless steel, chrome and transparent black. These dispensers start at about 5 dollars and can be a welcome sight in any public restroom. Toilet seat covers are not as expensive as you would think, the average toilet seat cover costs just over a penny each.
By providing basic sanitary needs for your employees you can cut down on costly absences and maintain a more productive work environment. It is a proven fact that an employer who shows they care will have employees that care more about their jobs and therefore are more productive. If you are an employee that works for a company that does not have toilet seat covers available in their restrooms you can still protect yourself by obtaining your own and using a toilet seat cover whenever you are in public restroom.

Heavy Metals and its Relation to Childhood Disorders: Is Your Toddler Toxic?
It is devastating enough to consider the “body burden” being carried by adults in this increasingly polluted world but to even consider that your child is carrying a substantially heavier load of toxins than yourself is difficult to acknowledge. Belief would require action.
However, before I launch into a passionate diatribe against environmental pollution, mercury based childhood immunizations and present troubling information on heavy metal toxicity in infants and children, I will tell you in advance that I have recently discovered a natural health supplement that is elegant in its simplicity and ease of application. It involves a recently introduced product that works as a heavy metal detoxifier, completely safe for all ages. It is positioned to become one of the most important nutritional therapies of this new century. The name of this unique new product is Natural Cellular Defense, brought to market in August 2005 by the company of Waiora.
Although there have been products capable of removing heavy metals from the body in the past, there was always the possibility of doing damage to the kidneys in the process. Additionally, lighter metals such as calcium and minerals would be removed as well, requiring the individual to over-compensate with increased supplementation that was difficult to measure and effectively isolate the toxins. However, Natural Cellular Defense is a very effective system that never causes damage to the kidneys and has no affinity whatsoever for the lighter, essential minerals, such as calcium. It is completely safe. However, you do need to make sure the individual stays well hydrated.
WHY CHILDREN ARE AT A GREATER RISK THAN ADULTS.
It is easy enough to understand that a body, substantially smaller than our own, would inevitably react more strongly to the same amount of toxins. Coupled with rapid development, an infant or child is extremely vulnerable to environmental interference and their normal behavioral patterns put them at a higher risk. During the first months and years of life, children’s organs are developing rapidly, making them more prone to functional damage. The nervous system continues to develop throughout childhood and therefore is especially vulnerable to toxic chemicals in their personal environment as well as food and water. And just like their young bodies more readily absorb nutrients, they also readily absorb toxins.
In that first year of life, a child’s ability to metabolize, detoxify, and excrete toxins differs substantially from that of an adult. Children also may be more susceptible to some toxins because their liver and kidneys are not fully mature and cannot detoxify and excrete harmful substances as readily as adults.
THE DANGERS OF MERCURY BASED VACCINES.
We all remember the Mad Hatter from the story “Alice in Wonderland”. But what most of you may not know is that the mad hatter is based on a true story involving the hat makers in eighteenth century London who went mad from their lead hats. We have known for a very long time that lead is dangerous. Nonetheless, many vaccines today, including Whooping Cough, Diptheria, MMR, and to an even larger degree Hepatitis B – the latter being given to infants in the first 12-24 hours of their life – contain mercury in amounts far in excess of those cited as dangerous by the EPA as stated in 1998. The Hepatitis vaccine has been shown to cause serious neurological and ophthalmologic side effects. The benefits of vaccines are seriously undermined by their substantial risks.
Reputable health organizations have requested single dose vaccines so mercury would not be necessary, however, for whatever reason the practice of doling out mercury based vaccines to newborns continues. The practice is unconscionable. Only vaccines given intravenously or orally are considered safe.
The question of vaccine-related trauma remains a very controversial subject for there are two potentially conflicting values; the desire to eliminate infectious disease and the desire of a parent to protect their child. Unfortunately, few studies of the long term risks of vaccines exist and parents are left to make hard decisions in an antagonistic medical climate.
MERCURY AND ITS AFFECT ON CHILDREN.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin which is highly damaging to the brain and nervous system. Exposure can hurt the child’s ability to concentrate; it can affect their language skills, socialization skills, hand to eye coordination and even their vision. Exposure to low levels of mercury can permanently damage the brain and nervous system and cause behavioral changes. You should also note that mercury is a persistent bioaccumulative neurotoxin which means it does not break down naturally.
The number of cases involving childhood disorders such as autism, ADD, ADHD, and certain types of cancers, have been rising steadily and these conditions have all been linked to high levels of toxicity. This is not to discount the genetic predisposition for these conditions but rather to make you aware that early toxic overload plays a part in triggering this condition.
TOXICITY AND ITS AFFECT ON FETAL DEVELOPMENT.
The National Academy of Sciences in July of 2000 filed a report establishing the risk of mercury exposure to fetal development is so great that at least 60,000 newborns each year could be at risk for learning and developmental problems from mercury exposure. In fact, one in 12 women of childbearing age in the U.S. have more mercury in the body than the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe for a fetus’s development, according to the latest data from the Center for Disease Control.
In a study spearheaded by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) in collaboration with Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals. Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline, and garbage.
TOXICITY TEST RESULTS OF THREE CHILDREN.
The following test results are provided as a way of demonstrating that your child could indeed have high levels of toxicity. I encourage you to visit http://www.optimalwellnesstest.com for information on available testing.
This information was provided to me by an acquaintance who became concerned that his children suffered from higher than normal toxicity levels. To put the numbers in perspective, this family consumes organic food and the children were never vaccinated. The test procedure was performed immunoassay. The toxicity level was determined by a formula measuring metals in circulation (saliva), and being eliminated (urine).
Children’s ages are 7, 9 and 12 . Summary as follows:

FINDING A WORKABLE SOLUTION.
Although the statistics on childhood toxicity on the surface appear daunting and the need to get a handle on our exposure to toxic chemicals desperate, we should remember that for every problem there is a solution. Without a doubt our industrial nation needs to take responsibility for their actions and to that end, governmental agencies need to do a better job at enforcing this responsibility. We need to find an alternative to mercury based vaccinations. Parents should do their best to limit exposure. Additionally, it is increasingly important for women wishing to become pregnant to engage in a detoxification program before trying to conceive and to that end, Natural Cellular Defense could be of great assistance. Most importantly, we must help our children already damaged by pollutants and chemicals by providing them with a serious and workable detoxification program. Natural Cellular Defense is a product that offers one very important and viable solution to toxic overload.
