Top 10 Causes of Workplace Injuries
Top 10 Causes of Workplace Injuries      Every year, Liberty Mutual conducts research it calls the Workplace Safety Index. In 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, serious work-related injuries cost employers more than $55 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 being struck by an object or equipment. 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!)
