Exposure to carbon monoxide gas on a job site can cause permanent or fatal injuries. Employers are required to provide workers with a safe working environment that limits exposure to this dangerous inhaled substance. Workers should also receive training about the dangers of carbon monoxide.
In Nevada, drivers who are most likely to leave the scene of fatal crashes tend to be younger men who have suspended licenses and who might be driving drunk at the time of the accidents. Hit and run accidents have increased over the last few years, and the increase might be due to several factors, including an increased number of vehicles on the road, the improved economy, larger vehicles, speeding, drunk driving, and an increase in distracted driving.
E-cigarette use among teens in Nevada has exploded in the last couple of years and could lead to injuries and long-term health problems that reach epidemic proportions. The manufacturers of e-cigarettes might be responsible if people develop addictions and illnesses because of the products. Juul, one of the most popular brands of e-cigarettes, comes in fruit flavors which may attract teens. Recent studies reveal that two-thirds of young Juul users were not aware that the product always contains nicotine and other toxic chemicals regardless of flavor.
Offensive driving is an important concept to understand because driving offensively places drivers and the people who surround them on the road at a greater risk of accidents. Offensive driving occurs when drivers try to take control over the road, forcing drivers around them to adapt. Many road rage incidents are instigated by offensive drivers. When people drive offensively, they do not pay attention to the actions of others and may become aggressive. Drivers who engage in this type of driving behavior are much likelier to cause accidents that result in injuries or fatalities.
