Transportation Industry – Back Injuries for Truck Drivers
While truck drivers spend many hours on the roads, they may also frequently deal with other types of labor, such as loading or unloading their trucks. This puts them at an increased risks of back injuries from lifting boxes, crates, or other heavy supplies. In fact, back injuries are one of the biggest issues faced by truck drivers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some common types of back injuries suffered by truckers include:
- Sprains
- Strains
- Herniated discs
- Fractured vertebra
While some injuries may only cause minor pain or go away with time, other back injuries can lead to chronic pain for truck drivers. In severe cases, a back injury may even lead a permanent disability.
