With fall tryouts just around the corner, it’s time to ensure our young athletes are ready to play when the whistle blows. If your employees have children who play school sports, a sports physical is designed to keep them playing at their best by catching potential health problems that may be made worse by sports activity. Get a jump start on your back-to-school checklist and schedule a sports physical with CareATC.

Where is your Workers’ Compensation Insurance Card??

Employees should always have this card with them while at work! 

Workplace Safety Tip:

Use Mechanical Aids Whenever Possible - Instead of attempting to carry or lift something that’s heavy, take extra time to use a wheelbarrow, conveyor belt, crank or forklift. Too many injury risks are involved with trying to lift something that weighs too much.
