Stub-EASE Prevents Workplace Injuries
Every day, a construction worker is injured on the job. Stub-EASE is a groundbreaking new product that eliminates injuries due to Conduit Stub-Ups. Conduit Stub-Ups are a continual problem for workers in the electric and high-rise construction industries, and cause injuries involving impalement and even death.
According to OSHA:
“4,821 workers were killed on the job in 2014 [www.bls.gov/iif/cfoi_revised14.htm] (3.4 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers) — on average, more than 92 a week or more than 13 deaths every day.”
