"How much do Back Injuries in the workplace, really cost?"
Back injuries account for 25.8% of all WorkCover claims* and the total average cost for a back injury claim is $32,012. Too many back injuries arise from poor manual handling equipment, quite often we overlook the simple trolley as a source of these injuries, however the 'shopping trolley' syndrome is alive and well in the workplace and it could be costing you plenty! What happens when staff are off on an injury claim? Productivity drops, customer orders get delayed, administration time is lost on claims and the boss is on your case to get a result!
