What Are Workplace Head Injuries?

It should be no surprise that workers receive head injuries all the time in the workplace. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics says that there were 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries or illnesses reported during the latest year of data available. In a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, we see that around 20% of work-related injuries involved a traumatic brain injury, a type of head injury.

There are various types of head injuries that can occur in the workplace. Some of them are immediately visible, while others are not.

• Medical attention needs to be sought immediately after a blow to the head in the workplace.

Open head injuries are often obvious because they include trauma that occurs on the outside of the skull. This can include lacerations, fractures, and penetrating injuries.

Closed head injuries may not be as obvious because they happen inside the skull where we cannot see them. The brain can become injured (traumatic brain injury or TBI) any time there is a blow to the head. TBIs range from severe to mild (concussions).

• A person can have both an open and closed head injury at the same time.

What Are The Main Causes Of Workplace Head Injuries?

Head injuries in the workplace can happen in a variety of ways, including:

1. Motor vehicle crashes in work vehicles
2. Falls from the same level or to another level
3. Falling heavy objects
4. Tool mistakes
