A serious on-the-job or workplace injury is defined as an injury resulting
in an employee missing six or more days of work. The top five causes of workplace
injuries are:
• Overexertion - excessive lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, or throwing
of an object.
• Falls - on the same level or to a lower level.
• Body Reaction - bending, climbing, slipping or tripping without falling.
• Struck by An Object - such as a tool falling from above.
• Repetitive Motion - repeated stress or strain.
Work injuries cost Americans $156.2 billion. That amounts to $1,120 per worker.
The majority of Americans injured on the job only recover 12-35% of the salary
they lost while unable to work.
