Common Workplace Injuries in Roanoke & Lynchburg
Medical Workers
Lab Corp, Centra Health, and Carilion Clinic provide work for nearly 25,000 people in the Roanoke/Lynchburg region. The medical field is rife with opportunities for on-the-job injuries.
According to the CDC, healthcare workers have the highest reported cases of non-fatal occupational injury and illnesses. Sprains and strains are among the most common injuries along with slips, falls, and needle sticks.
Factory Workers
BWX Technologies, BWXT Nuclear Operations, Hutchinson Sealing Systems and Volvo Trucks North America are manufacturing facilities that employ over 13,000 workers in western Virginia.
Factory workers have the highest risk of on-the-job injuries such as amputation from machines, musculoskeletal disorders from over-exertion or repetitive motion, and spinal cord injuries from falls. These life-altering injuries deserve just compensation.
Educators
There are several colleges and universities employing many workers across Roanoke and Lynchburg. Virginia Tech, Liberty University, and the University of Lynchburg are large employers in this region. Whether in administration, education, service, or technology, workers in these settings may be injured on the job.
Common injuries include strains and sprains, slips, trips, and falls. Additionally, those working in older buildings may encounter risks related to toxic exposures such as mold and fumes.
