According to statistics, there are sectors such as customer service, education, childcare, cleaning, kitchen work and office work where the female gender dominates and makes them more prone to suffer certain types of personal injuries, such as:
Falls
25% of office accidents are due to material falls in the workplace, as well as slips due to lack of maintenance or poor signage. That is why order and cleanliness are very important to prevent this type of workplace accidents.
Cuts and Wounds
Both in offices, kitchens, industrial or field work, it is common to use sharp and pointed objects that can cause serious workplace accidents. It is necessary to use them carefully and maintain order on the work surface to avoid injuries that could even endanger our limbs.
General Blows
High-intensity impacts on doors and other furniture elements, such as shelves, filing cabinets or cabinets, are very common workplace accidents that occur much more frequently than it seems.
Injuries from Stress or Repetitive Work
A woman who works and has to perform the same action over and over again, day after day, can suffer repetitive strain injuries. For example, an office worker may develop chronic pain in the neck or hip due to the posture adopted when spending too much time in front of the computer; as well as carpal tunnel syndrome from using a keyboard all day.
Back Injuries
This type of personal injury in the workplace occurs more frequently in workers who perform manual work. Injury to the lower back is the most likely type of discomfort, caused by using too much force on the back or when lifting or moving heavy objects.Also by repeating certain movements, especially those that involve twisting or turning the spine. Even inactivity in an office job can contribute to pain, especially if you have poor posture or sit all day in a chair with inadequate back support.
Sprains and Fractures
Slips, trips and falls can cause the victim to twist their knee or ankle and twist the ligaments of the joints. The impact of landing on the ground or hitting something when falling can break bones.
According to the CDC, falls cause most fractures in older adults, whose bones weaken with age. The most common fractures from falls are the hip, spine, forearm, leg, ankle, pelvis, upper arm and hand.When you identify that you suffer some type of work injuries or discomfort caused by your work routine or some other mishap at work, at Conexión Legal we remind you that it is your right to see a work accident lawyer specialist in personal injuries to receive free consultation and then proceed with a claim for compensation for the damage.
