What are your thoughts on TN banning the sale and use of Kratom?

It’s being discussed in legislation as the Matthew Davenport’s law.

Most workplace injuries don’t start with a big accident.

They start with a sentence:

“Hey, my back has been hurting for a few weeks…”

We hear this all the time.

An employee works through soreness… keeps lifting… keeps pushing… doesn’t want to complain… and then one day — it turns into a workers’ comp injury.

Here’s what many companies don’t realize:

Back injuries usually aren’t caused by one lift.

They’re caused by repeated strain + job mismatch.

Sometimes the job requires more force, reach, twisting, or lifting than the body can safely handle — and no one knew until it was too late.

Prevention isn’t complicated, but it does require being proactive:
✔ Knowing the real physical demands of the job
✔ Matching employees to the job safely
✔ Teaching proper lifting and body mechanics

Workplace injuries are expensive — but most of them are preventable.

If you’ve ever had an employee suddenly “throw their back out,” you know exactly what we mean.
