New USDA Rules Could Lead to More Injuries for Poultry Slaughterhouse Employees
Because our Georgia workers' compensation attorneys at Montlick and Associates frequently represent injured employees in the poultry industry, we recognize that workers in poultry processing plants frequently suffer repetitive motion injuries and other on-the-job injuries. Because workers in poultry plants are already exposed to a substantial risk of injury, we are concerned about the impact of new U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations that may increase the prevalence of chicken slaughterhouse injuries.
