Injuries can happen anywhere, including your workplace. According to the National Safety Council, a worker gets injured on the job every 7 seconds. To put this into perspective, this is a staggering 12, 600 injured workers every single day. What makes this more alarming is the matter that workplace injuries are highly preventable and that employers can do something about the needless suffering and costs.
Simply put, a work-related injury is any personal injury that arises from and during employment, considering that the employment is the significant factor that contributed to the said injury.
Thus, this means that while a work-related injury can happen at work, it can also happen when traveling to and from work, for work (like visiting sites and branches), or even during break times.
These types of injuries are covered by insurance, including the rehabilitation that is crucial for a quick recovery process.
