Dealing with Work Injuries
Getting hurt on the job can be a very scary, overwhelming feeling. What should I do? Should I tell my Supervisor? What if I can’t work? I love my job and most importantly, I need to feed my family.
Work Injuries can be stressful, complicated and often don’t get reported right away. In fact, many Work Injuries aren’t always obvious events like slipping and falling on a wet floor, but can be gradual, repetitive stress-type injuries from performing the same motion day after day. These are called Gillette Injuries and are grouped into a category of their own.
Repetitive Work Injuries often include tendonitis, swelling, inflammation and sensitive sore joints. In more advanced cases, abrupt injuries like herniated discs and ligament tears happen. Did you know Lower Back Pain is the #1 cause of Job-Related Disability and a leading contributor to missed work?
Work injuries and restrictions
When you’re injured and don’t feel well, it’s often difficult to continue working or work without some kind of physical restrictions preventing you from injuring yourself further or aggravating your condition. Lifting, bending, and even standing for extended periods can become unbearable.
If you’re injured and unable to work, we write Work Restrictions indicating why. If you can still work, but in a lesser capacity, we will write Work Restrictions modifying your current job responsibilities so that you can continue to work, but in a way that doesn’t hurt yourself further or become a danger to those around you.
