Tradesmen who work with their hands can be more prone to injury by the very nature of their labor.  They use heavy tools, sharp tools, high-speed tools, and work long hours in adverse weather with repeating motions.  Arthritis can be caused or worsened by these factors, and work site injuries are always a threat.  In addition, they face the same probabilities as the general population of automobile accidents or diseases such as cancer, stroke and heart disease.  Disability Work Tools is ready to help any worker get back to work, regardless of the cause of his disability! 

Healthyliving.msn.com has an article about the best and worst jobs for someone living with pain.  Guess what?  Administrative assistant is a “best” job and a “landscaper” is worst.  Can you flip a switch and change a person who loves plants and landscape design into an administrative assistant?  We understand that not every worker is cut out to be an engineer or journalist.  We’re here to help tradesmen adapt their work spaces and keep doing the jobs they love to the greatest extent possible in spite of these conditions:
