Three Workers Injured in Gas Well Accident

Posted on January 29th, 2010 1 Comment

Three contractors have been sent to the hospital following an accident at the Mowry natural gas well near Tuscarora Township in Juniata County.  Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

Reports of the accident differ.  According to initial scanner reports, an explosion caused the injury, while a spokesman for the company operating the well claimed that the accident was due to "forceful uplift in tubing," which caused tubing from the derrick to launch into the air.

Two workers were immediately taken to a local hospital, treated, and released.  A third worker was taken later, and remains in the hospital.  He is expected to make a full recovery.

Breaks at Computer Important for Worker Health

Posted on January 22nd, 2010 No Comments

For jobs that require large amounts of time on the computer,  it is important to take breaks.  A break once every hour is recommended.  This break is important because it allows an individual to refocus their eyes and to avoid looking at a PC for extended amounts of time. 

Some individuals report having serious head-aches after prolonged computer use.  Further,  the strain caused on one's eyes by focusing on a computer screen for large amounts of time can also cause other problems.   A simple break every hour can help a worker become more productive when at the computer.
