EMT Workers and Ambulance drivers have a particularly difficult job.  Not only do they have the stress of holding someone's life in their hands,  they have to provide treatment as fast as possible.

For an EMT,  seconds are extremely valuable.  While responding to emergency situations,  they have to navigate traffic at high speeds putting themselves in danger to increase response time.  

Because of this,  EMT accidents and injuries can occur while responding to a victim.  The line of work is difficult and injuries can occur. Because of this,  benefits and compensation should be given if needed.

The 30th Anniversary for the Three Mile Accident is soon approaching.  The accident occurred in 1979 at Dauphin County in Pennsylvania.  The accident was the most infamous in United States nuclear power history, and has been used as a centerpiece in the debate of the hazards of nuclear power being used in America.

Although no workers were injured that day,  the possibility of serious worker injury did exist.   It is an event that did not produce a death or serious injury,  but it did highlight some of the dangers of individuals who work with nuclear power can face while on the job.

The link of obesity and workers compensation is beginning to become stronger.  Many employers and researchers are looking at the data and are beginning to see the effect obesity has on workers compensation claims.

Obesity has traditionally been something that is not normally considers or factored into many injury claims.  In a recent study,  it was found that individuals who are termed obese are 45% more likely to file claims.  The study found that individuals who are obese and file for workers compensation claims also take longer to heal. 

The data between the link has been difficult to obtain.  Many companies are hesitant to allow this information to be released because of fear of privacy violations for their employees.
