Occupational injuries are a major health concern globally
While many of the risks are related to daily routines, others are as a result of individual characteristics and environmental conditions at work [8]

Occupational injuries are a major health concern globally. Recent global estimates show that over 960 000 workers are injured and 1020 die per day due to work related injuries [1].

A detailed description of these injury categories is provided in the methods section
