Top 10 Causes of Workplace Injuries
10 Leading Causes of Workplace Injuries in 2009
Top 10 Causes of Workplace Injuries  10 Leading Causes of Workplace Injuries in 2009      Every year, Liberty Mutual conducts research it calls the Workplace Safety Index. In 2009, serious work-related injuries cost employers $50 billion. The leading cause was overexertion (for example, excessive lifting, pushing, carrying, or throwing), followed by falls on the same level (rather than from a height, such as a ladder), and falls to a lower level. Think about your current job, your most recent job, or the job you would like to have. Which of the categories of injuries shown in the graph are most likely to occur on that job? (Don't assume injuries never occur in office jobs!)
