H1 Report an Injury. This is a sample heading on 2 lines

Paragraph text. Dolum evelignatqui ipide opta nonsed est re volestin repe poreped quas verfero everum nonsequide aligent quas audit et plaborroria:

While clearing brush and trees from a power line right of way, a worker cut down a tree causing it to fall onto an energized overhead power line. When the power line fell to the ground, an electrical current passed to another worker near the work site. The affected worker received severe electrical burns and shock from contact with the electrical conductor.

There is a high incidence rate of heavy equipment such as dump trucks, back hoes, front-end loaders, and water trucks interfering or colliding with power line poles, damaging them and creating an extreme hazard to anyone in the vicinity.

As winter retreats and temperatures rise, there are more individuals working on roofs to remove snow. For some, this means working without the necessary fall protection. This poses a significant risk to individuals because serious or fatal injuries can occur from falling.

A worker was carrying a 5-gallon gas can and began to feel pain in their back. The worker continued to work for the remainder of the shift and felt the pain grow progressively worse the next day. The worker sought medical attention and was diagnosed with lower back strain. They missed six days of work due to the injury. The WSCC accepted a claim for medical treatment and compensation for time lost from work.
