Cuts

Cuts are a common injury that may occur when using heavy equipment, using a knife for your work, or otherwise using a cutting object, such as a letter opener. Small cuts are usually treated with a bandage; however, you may need treatment for more extensive lacerations.

Pain and Soreness

Pain and soreness with no clear cause may relate to the environment of your workplace. A common workplace injury from an office job is compression on the spine or portions of the spine.
