We have covered many different reasons why workplace accidents occur, from slippery surfaces to dangers that are present on construction sites. However, there are many more factors that can contribute to a workplace accident that workers and employers sometimes fail to realize. At Kampf, Schiavone & Associates, we know that some people are under an incredible amount of stress due to back-to-school season. Believe it or not, this stress could cause an accident to take place on a job site in San Bernardino, California.
Aside from the stress that some employees encounter as parents, back-to-school season can cause workplace accidents in other ways as well. For example, a school bus driver may be involved in an accident, or a teacher may be hurt after returning to work from summer break. Moreover, the increase in school traffic could cause a delivery driver or someone else who is required to drive a vehicle to sustain an injury while working.
