Neck Injury

Neck Injury in the Workplace

Neck injuries occurring in the workplace are unfortunately more common that you would think. They are uncomfortable, painful and inconvenient leaving those who have suffered them unable to function normally until they have healed. Some neck injuries can be short term but others only heal after a long term rehabilitation period and treatment. The aftercare needed can take it’s toll physically and emotionally on you and your family and if the injury was not your fault, it could have even more devastating emotional consequences. For more serious injuries, the effects can be life changing.

Some of the most common reasons for neck injuries in the workplace are:

• Unsafe manual handling without the appropriate training, equipment or colleague support
• Slips, trips and falls
• Being struck over the head by falling objects
