What are the most common wear and tear workers compensation claims?
Here are some common examples:
Repetitive activity over a long period without rest.
This applies to a range of activities like picking items from shelves, using computers, and operating equipment.
Workstations and workspaces with poor ergonomic design.
When work environments are not set up correctly, repetitive strain injuries are more likely to occur.
Heavy lifting.
Puts more strain on muscles, nerves and tendons and can result in RSI over time.
Operating machinery.
Where the operation requires repeated actions over long periods of time.
Production lines and assembly lines.
These often require repeated actions for long periods of time, often at speed with limited opportunity for resting.
Such as power drills, jackhammers, air guns and chain saws, that cause excessive vibration in the hands and arms.
