Construction Industry – Back Injuries
Did you know that 25% of all construction industry injuries are back injuries? This is because workers in the construction industry often deal with heavy equipment, like bricks or other building materials. They may also frequently repeat the same lifting, pulling, or twisting motions throughout their workday, which can lead to gradual back injuries.
For your construction industry clients, there are many types of back injuries that can occur through heavy lifting or repetitive motions. Some of the most common back injuries include:
- Sprains
- Strains
- Herniated discs
- Fractured vertebrae
Some types of back injuries only cause minimal pain and heal with time and rest. Others can lead to long-term or even permanent pain, and can hinder a construction worker’s ability to perform their everyday tasks. Back injuries can also greatly impact a construction worker’s quality of life and prevent them from doing day-to-day tasks, like driving or standing for long periods of time.
