Recently Liberty Mutual released their annual workplace safety index documents which included the “Top 10 Causes Of The Most Serious Workplace Injuries”. These injuries cause employees to miss 5 or more days from work or were fatal. Liberty Mutual ranks the injuries by the direct cost impact they cause employers. If you choose to download the full list, you can also get a more in-depth look at what injuries are most prevalent among each sub-industry. Some of these are construction, manufacturing, healthcare, etc. If you have any more questions about these causes, contact us at Metropolitan risk here.

Below is a link to the list of top causes of workplace injuries that resulted in 5+ days away off the job. Understand that each of the injuries themselves are not necessarily the problem that is costing your company millions. These are just the reason for each injury. What caused the slip and fall down two flights of stairs? Why was your employee mishandling a dangerous object? Why was your employee not trained well enough to not get caught in/between/under that object? These are things to think of as you read the list and the amount they cost businesses.
