What are Occupational Injuries?

Occupational injuries refer to physical harm or disorders that occur due to work-related activities. These injuries can result from accidents, repetitive motions, poor ergonomics, or exposure to hazardous environments. They can affect muscles, joints, nerves, and overall physical well-being.

Causes of Occupational Injuries

  • Repetitive Motion – Continuous typing, lifting, or assembly line work can strain muscles and joints.
  • Poor Posture & Ergonomics – Incorrect sitting or standing positions cause spinal and musculoskeletal issues.
  • Heavy Lifting & Manual Labor – Overexertion and improper techniques lead to muscle strains or injuries.
  • Slips, Trips & Falls – Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or cluttered workspaces contribute to injuries.
  • Exposure to Vibrations & Machinery – Working with heavy tools or machines can cause nerve damage.
  • Stress & Fatigue – Mental and physical stress weakens muscles and increases the risk of injuries.
