Common Workplace Injuries

  • Slipping and tripping - regardless of your industry, you may be at risk for injuries caused by a slip and fall. Employers and employees alike are responsible for following safety guidelines that require spills to be cleaned up quickly and debris to be cleared from walkways.
  • Falling objects - when something falls from a shelf, a crane, or warehouse, it can cause head trauma, broken bones, and back injuries. While accidents happen, it is the employer’s responsibility to maintain a safe work environment. This also includes docks or ships.
  • Overexertion - if your field of work requires a significant amount of physical activity, you may sustain an overexertion injury. These injuries result from lifting, throwing, carrying, pushing, holding, and any other type of ongoing physical exertion.
  • Falls from heights - if you work regularly from tall heights using scaffolding, these supports are not always secure, and if you fall, it can result in serious injuries and even death.
  • Chemical exposure - if you work on a railway or in a factory long-term exposure to chemicals, including diesel, can cause lung illness and other dangers.
  • Repetitive motion - these injuries result from performing repetitive tasks, such as typing or loading and unloading trucks. Because the symptoms manifest gradually, it may be difficult to determine the exact cause of the condition.
    Third-party accidents - if you have to drive as part of your job duties and another driver causes an accident in which you are injured, you may pursue compensation from a third party. The same is true for injuries caused by contractors with whom your company works.
