Workers' Comp: Lyme disease and other pest risks for construction workers
If you work in an office, you won't be bitten by a bee, snake or tick on the job. Second, they work outside in a construction company. In addition to fresh air, sun and other advantages, working in tall grass and in underdeveloped areas always has its disadvantages: exposure to unwanted natural hazards.
Of course, this also includes insect bites. Ticks and Lyme disease are at the center of the discussion, especially in the spring, summer and fall. That is why we focus our insurance groups on contractors and construction work.
Attention all builders and contractors: what if your employee has a tick bite and develops Lyme disease? Do your employees cover the associated losses? The answer is yes, you can.
Lyme disease can damage the human nervous system if it is not recognized in time. It can also damage the heart, brain, muscles and joints. The dreaded disease is so severe that it has prompted healthcare providers to warn and warn. The insurance industry has also dealt with this subject in detail.
Workers are compulsory for those most affected, such as construction workers.
The scope concerned benefits both supervisors and employees:
• Payment for doctor, medication and hospital
• Provision of temporary disability benefits until they become permanent.
• Reimbursement of rehabilitation treatment and associated treatment costs
• Workers receive a salary that can no longer work due to illness
The insurance industry also explains to construction companies how to manage the risks of ticks or other insect bites by informing them of the following:
• Inform employees about the possible severity of a tick bite and the treatment of a bite.
• Teach workers what kind of clothing to wear to prevent ticks from reaching them easily. This includes wearing long pants and socks.
• Receive feedback on worker allergic reactions to ticks and other insect bites so workers can be assigned to areas with the lowest exposure.
• A first aid kit for allergic emergencies on site.
Discussing this with an independent insurance agency that is familiar with the risks and how to assess the risks of each construction company can help you better understand the need for related workers' compensation coverage.
