Every year millions of Americans suffer injuries at their workplaces. Small firms and the self-employed have exceptionally high injury rates. Occupations with high injury rates include truck drivers, laborers, janitors, nursing orderlies, assemblers, and carpenters, lumberjacks, laborers, millwrights, prison guards, and meat cutters. Curiously, dentists face some of the highest risks.
No one starts their day with a concern that they might suffer an injury that will require a 911 emergency response. But it happens and when it does, it is smarter to have a Code Amber Secure Digital Identification Tag and not need it, than to need one and not have it.
