What is a Facility Worker?

Facility workers are the backbone of many industries. These employees are responsible for maintaining and ensuring the functionality, safety, and cleanliness of buildings and facilities. Facility workers play a vital role in supporting the infrastructure of their workplaces, whether it’s through repair work, maintenance, or general upkeep.

Facility workers cover a broad range of job titles and responsibilities. Some of the most common types of facility workers include:

• Janitorial Staff: Responsible for cleaning and sanitizing buildings, including restrooms, hallways, and workspaces.
• Maintenance Technicians: Handle repairs, equipment upkeep, and troubleshooting building systems like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems.
• Groundskeepers: Maintain the landscaping, outdoor areas, and general aesthetics of facilities.
• Security Personnel: Ensure the safety of occupants and property by monitoring premises and responding to incidents.
• Custodians: Oversee general maintenance and organization of indoor spaces, often involving heavy lifting and operating machinery.
• Facility Managers: Coordinate all aspects of facility upkeep, ensuring operations run smoothly while managing budgets and resources.

Common Workplace Injuries for Facility Workers

Facility workers often perform physically demanding tasks that put them at risk of injury. Some of the most common injuries include:

• Slip and Falls: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained areas can lead to serious falls, causing fractures, sprains, or head injuries.
• Repetitive Motion Injuries: Continuous physical tasks, such as sweeping, lifting, or bending, may result in conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or chronic back pain.
• Exposure to Hazardous Materials: Facility workers may handle chemicals, cleaners, or other substances that can cause burns, respiratory issues, or skin irritation.
• Muscle Strains and Sprains: Lifting heavy objects or operating equipment often leads to strains in the back, shoulders, or other muscle groups.
• Injuries from Machinery: Operating tools or equipment may result in cuts, amputations, or other traumatic injuries.
• Workplace Violence: Security personnel or other facility staff may encounter combative individuals, putting them at risk of physical harm.

Workers' Compensation for Facility Employees

If you are a facility worker injured on the job in Santa Rosa, you have the right to workers' compensation benefits. California law requires most employers to provide workers' compensation insurance to their employees, which covers:

• Medical Expenses: Including hospital bills, doctor visits, medication, and rehabilitation.
• Temporary Disability Benefits: Compensation for lost wages if you are unable to work temporarily due to your injury.
• Permanent Disability Benefits: Financial support if your injury results in lasting impairments.
• Vocational Rehabilitation: Assistance with training or finding new employment if you are unable to return to your previous position.

Unfortunately, the claims process can be complex, and employers or insurance companies may attempt to minimize your benefits. Pacific Workers is here to ensure your claim is handled fairly and to fight for the maximum compensation you are entitled to receive.
