Protect Against Shoulder Injuries – S+H

Protect against shoulder injuries

Safety+Health, July, 2023

Is your shoulder stiff after a day at work? Can you rotate your arm? Do you feel as though it’s not operating at full strength?

A shoulder injury can occur as a result of a repetitive process, according to the Texas Department of Insurance’s Division of Workers’ Compensation. Jobs that can aggravate the shoulder include painting walls, overhead work, repairing vehicles raised on a lift, and filing and lifting objects.

“Pain is the most common symptom of a shoulder injury,” TDI DWC says. “Variable degrees of stiffness and a locking sensation may occur with or without pain. Sometimes a shoulder injury can lead to numbness or tingling down the arm.”

Early intervention is one of the best forms of treatment. Click here to learn more ways to reduce the risk of shoulder injuries at work.
