Risks for Office Workers
Office jobs may not seem dangerous, but long hours and repetitive tasks can take a toll on your body. Poor ergonomics, unsafe conditions, and fatigue all contribute to accidents and injuries that can keep you from earning your wages. Some of the most common office accidents and injuries include:
- Tripping over cords, loose carpeting, open file drawers, or cluttered walkways
- Back, neck, or shoulder strain from constant sitting
- Lifting injuries from reaching for heavy items on shelves
- Slipping on wet floors or in poorly lit areas
- Head Injuries from falling objects in storage areas
- Repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel from constant typing
Among these, repetitive stress injuries are especially common. Typing for hours every day, often without proper ergonomic support, can gradually wear down your hands, wrists, and arms, sometimes leading to sudden pain that’s actually been building for years.
