Common work place injuries
Some of us have considerably safe desk jobs with no risks of injuries. However, some have more physically involving jobs that pose more risk of injury or disease through prolonged exposure to hazardous environments. Miners, truck drivers, construction workers, and so forth are some examples of professions where there is real threat of incurring a workplace injury.
Make no mistake though, you can get hurt in any workplace!
Some of the most common work place injuries are:
- Joint injuries – Jobs where the worker is repeatedly and continuously required to exercise physical flexibility may result in wear and tear of the joints over time. Such injuries are not only painful and debilitating, but also are very difficult to fully heal or recover from. Knee tears, shoulder or wrist dislocations, and so forth are some examples.
- Back injuries – Simple events like a one-time slip and fall while on the job is enough to cause a severe back injury or fracture. Often, workers who are involved in heavy lifting will find that they develop back problems and injuries too.
- Fractures – A crack in your bone due to too much stress, pressure, or even a collision is not uncommon among construction workers, miners, and this list continues.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome – This is the most common type of workplace injury across America and a painful medical condition where the nerves in the wrist become compressed and can result loss of movement and strength in the wrist and fingers. Office workers can develop this!
Other common workplace injuries include, but are not limited to, tendonitis, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, toxic mold, and so on.
