work-related injury

A work-related injury is harm or damage that occurs to an employee while performing their job duties or within the work environment. This can include accidents, falls, strains, or exposure to harmful substances. These injuries can range from minor cuts or bruises to serious conditions that require medical treatment or time off work. Employers are generally responsible for maintaining a safe workplace, and many have insurance to help cover medical costs or lost wages resulting from such injuries. Prompt reporting and proper care are important to ensure recovery and prevent future incidents.
