Personal Injuries in Administrative Workers
Often, when we think about work accidents, our minds immediately go to high-risk professions such as construction, restaurants, or factories. However, it is essential to recognize that administrative area workers are also exposed to injuries at their workplace.
What are the causes of accidents among administrative area workers?
The causes of these accidents vary:
- Slips caused by loose carpets spilled liquids, or cables
- Injuries from repetitive tasks, such as carpal tunnel syndrome due to prolonged use of the computer mouse
- Inadequate lighting
- Incorrect use of chairs
- Slippery stairs due to ice (especially in winter)
How can these accidents be prevented?
To prevent these accidents, it is crucial to adopt preventive measures. Changing positions regularly, taking active breaks, informing the employer about potential hazards, and using the right tools and furniture are essential steps to ensure a safe work environment.
If an accident occurs, it is vital to report it to the employer immediately.
