The research firm also suggests more small and medium-sized busine...

The organization analyzed more than 1.2 million workers compensation claims submitted from 2016 to 2020. The data is based on lost time claims from those accident years. Here is what it found. Who Is Getting Injured? The answer to this is nuanced. For one, new employees seem to be injured very frequently. Roughly 34% of workplace injuries occurred during an employee’s first year on the job, resulting in almost 7 million missed workdays. First-year injuries made up o...
