Back Injury

Workplace Accidents  >  Back Injury

This type of injury is one of the most common of workplace injuries. Your back, in every job, is integral to your role even if your role is sedimentary. Any injury to this can be extremely painful and can cause long periods of absence and can require long-term medical care.

This can be caused by the following

  • Lifting heavy objects at work.
  • Lifting in the incorrect way caused by a lack of manual handling training or method training on the specific job.
  • Being provided with poor ergonomic equipment (such as a unsuitable office chair or desk).
  • Slips, trips or falls at work.
  • Using vibration tools or machinery.
