Some of the most common workplace injuries include:
The median nerve in the wrist is housed in the carpal tunnel. CTS can occur when this nerve becomes compressed. Compression can result from repeated movements. Typing and assembly line work are two of the most common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Sprains and strains affect ligaments and tendons. Sprains and strains can result from a traumatic event, such as falling from a ladder. Repetitive motion can also cause these injuries. Improper use of workplace equipment can aggravate sprains and strains.
