November 17, 2017

Safety+Health reports temporary workers file lost-workday claims about twice as often as permanent workers, citing a study from the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. Researchers, Safety+Health reported, also found nearly 40% of temp claimants said they did not receive safety training from their temp agency, and 48% said they were trained only at the beginning of employment; for permanent claimants, those percentages were approximately 25% and 20% respectively.
