A Workplace Injury is any injury or illness that occurs as a result of work-related activities or conditions. These injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious conditions such as fractures, sprains, strains, burns, or even life-threatening incidents. Workplace injuries can occur in any industry or occupation and may result from various causes, including accidents, exposure to hazardous substances, repetitive motions, overexertion, falls, equipment malfunctions, or unsafe working conditions.
Starting January 1, 2015, OSHA introduces stringent regulations for reporting and recording severe work-related injuries or fatalities, aiming to bolster workplace safety. With 4,405 workplace fatalities in 2013 alone, the initiative targets proactive prevention measures and employer accountability to curb such incidents.
