Occupational Injury

An occupational injury occurs when a worker is harmed in some way while performing their job duties. This can include physical injuries, such as cuts, fractures, or strains, as well as illnesses caused by work conditions, like exposure to harmful substances. These injuries can arise from accidents, repetitive actions, or unsafe environments. Employers often have safety regulations to prevent such incidents, and employees may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits to cover medical expenses and lost wages. Understanding these injuries is crucial for maintaining a safe workplace and ensuring the well-being of workers.
