Presumption laws
Even though it’s going to be a problem in many, if not most instances, to prove that a worker was infected with COVID-19 while on the job, “there will be some liability there,” according to Rich Lenkov, who heads a workers’ compensation practice at Bryce Downey & Lenkov LLC in Chicago. “But remember,” he said in an interview with Business Insurance, “the worker still has to prove that they developed COVID from work, and even in states with a presumption … I think it’s a hard case to prove.” So far, 20 states have passed laws saying that employees in certain fields who get COVID-19, notably in healthcare and related industries, are “presumed” to have contracted it on the job.

This series of MBW vibratory plates, the GP12, GP15, and GP18, are available with or without a water tank. A patented suspension system reduces hand arm vibration and also better isolates all upper mass components, including the engine, from vibrations produced by the machine’s exciter. These plates are perfect for confined areas of granular soils including sands and gravels as well as placing interlocking pavers, bricks and blocks with the optional UHMW paving pad. The 18 had some recent modifications to the spray bar and added clearance which now allows for a paving pad to be used on the asphalt version. Additional updates also include standard Honda GX160 engine and new side plate handles makes lifting easier. Weighing 130 lbs (59 kg) to 184 lbs (83 kg), these plates are easy to lift and maneuver around the jobsite.
