High-risk Occupations

Many jobs present above-average safety risks to workers. Your employer should supply safety equipment, PPE, and training on safety, but accidents still happen. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers reported 2.8 million injury and illness cases in 2022. Slips, trips, and falls were cited as one of the most common causes of injury, which can happen in any occupation. However, if you drive for a living, work with heavy machinery, or in a manual labor position, you have a higher chance of being injured than someone who works in an office environment.

Work Injuries

When you are in a high-risk occupation, you think about your safety and take precautions every day. Despite our best efforts to stay safe, you can still get injured at work. Work injuries can prevent you from taking part in your normal job responsibilities. If your mobility or balance has been compromised it could be dangerous to return to your job before you have rehabilitated, because you risk reinjuring yourself.
