A workplace injury refers to any physical harm or musculoskeletal issue caused by job-related activities. These injuries can range from mild strains and repetitive stress conditions to more significant pain. Commonly affected areas include the back, neck, shoulders, and wrists, often due to poor ergonomics, repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, or prolonged sitting.
Workplace injuries often develop from mechanical overload, repetitive movement, poor ergonomics, and inadequate recovery. Musculoskeletal conditions can gradually reduce function and increase the risk of re-injury, whether from a single incident or accumulated strain. Contributing factors include:
