Common Workplace Injuries in Charlottesville
Medical Workers
Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital and UVA Medical Center are the two biggest employers in Charlottesville. 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.
Retail Workers
Retail stores like Walmart, Kroger, and Food Lion employ a great many people in and around Albemarle County.
Recent events have proven how very valuable these workers are to keeping our communities and our economy running. Because retail workers are deemed essential employees and often work on the front lines of these businesses, they face a high risk of both injury and illness.
Educators
As the leading employers of educators in Charlottesville, UVA and Albemarle County Public Schools bear the responsibility of both shaping young minds and safeguarding the well-being of their staff. Educators, like any other profession, face various injury risks.
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.
