According to the Health & Safety Commission, over 2 million people suffer personal injury in the work place each year and over 35 million work days were lost in 2004/5 as a result.

There were 30,213 major industrial injuries to employees reported in 2004/5, and over 120,000 other types of personal injury or industrial disease to employees necessitating them to be off work for over 3 days.

Together with Health and Safety regulations, employers have an obligation to provide a safe work environment for their employees. As they are responsible for their workers, it is compulsory that they have valid work liability insurance to cover themselves against claiming a work accident compensation claim and compensation for other industrial work related illnesses, accident and disease.

A personal injury in the work place can vary from simple cuts and bruises to broken bones and serious diseases like the ones below.

Spinal Injuries

Your spine is made up of many parts - your backbone consists of 33 vertebrae (bones) with discs between each of the vertebra that act like pads or shock absorbers.
The most common area of the spine to cause discomfort are the upper back, neck and lower back. The cervical spine can be injured through trauma, such as car accidents. Spinal pain, especially in the lower spine, is frequently associated with motor accidents or work related injuries. The lower spine often becomes painful from repetitive lifting or bending episodes, which may occur in the work place.

Whether you can successfully pursue a claim will depend on a number of factors, such as whether you have had a history of spinal pain or back problems.

Facts about Back or Spine Pain

Back pain in the spine is very common-about three in four adults will experience spine pain during their lifetime, especially low back pain.
Most spinal pain comes from sprains and strains caused by stressful movements, and with a bit of medical attention, those will get better.
Acute back or spinal pain -lasts 4-8 weeks
Chronic back or spinal pain - persistent, long-term pain
Lower spinal pain is often associated with heavy physical work, lifting or forceful movement, bending or twisting, or awkward positions
Uncommon-but serious-causes of spine pain include infections of the spine, tumors, and spinal fractures.
