A workplace injury refers to any physical harm or damage that occurs to an employee while they are performing their job duties. This can include accidents such as slips, trips, falls, or injuries caused by machinery. Workplace injuries can lead to medical expenses, lost wages, and sometimes long-term disability. Employers are typically required to provide a safe working environment and may need to implement safety protocols to prevent such injuries. In many regions, workers' compensation laws exist to support employees who are injured on the job, ensuring they receive necessary medical care and financial assistance during recovery.
