INJURY INVENTORY

摘要

The most common workers compensation claim in the ethanol industry is for lower back strains, according to ERI Solutions Inc. From November 2006 to August 2017, more than 450 claims were filed for strains, almost 170 affecting the lumbar area. "If you look at over the last 10 years, strains are No. 1 by a long shot," savs Nathan Vander Griend, president of ERI Solutions Inc., which manages an insurance company for the ethanol industry. Many of those injuries were caused by improper lifting, he adds. Materials handling is the third most common cause of all injuries, according to the data.
