Construction-related Lifting Injury
Construction work places substantial physical demands on the body. There are long hours, heavy loads, awkward stances, and arduous tasks. As a consequence of this intensive labor, construction workers face a significant likelihood of sustaining an injury in the workplace, particularly if their employer does not provide the necessary equipment, training, or workforce to accomplish the required duties. Lifting injuries are among the most common causes of debilitating injuries on construction sites and they can leave an employee in need of medical attention and unable to work for a prolonged period of time.

Common Lifting Injuries
Though lifting is one of the first physical actions learned, the improper lifting and transporting of objects has the capacity to cause serious harm. There are assistive lifting devices and prescribed methods of lifting that can reduce the probability that a worker will be hurt, but even a slight mistake or moment of inattention on the part of another can result in injury. Lifting employs the whole body, from the feet up to the neck. This creates the potential for various injuries, including:
- Back Injuries
- Shoulder Injuries
- Leg Injuries
