Definition

  • Occupational injuries are any health problem resulting directly from activities which take place when the patient was at the workplace or in some other way which result from working in a specific job. The occupations which most clearly and often startlingly suffer from high incidence of occupational injuries include the military services, as recent conflicts have made clear.
