Occupational injuries can affect workers of all kinds—from office workers and meat cutters who develop repetitive motion disorders to fire fighters and construction workers who have back injuries or other problems. Rapid access to medical care and rehabilitation if injuries occur on the job can affect the injured worker’s recovery and ability to return to work, and can decrease medical costs. Prevention of such injuries can also benefit workers while saving employers and insurers money
