Every year, countless Americans are injured while on the job. While some workplace injuries are due to accidents, others are the result of careless or reckless behavior. Unfortunately, summertime often sees a spike in job-related injuries, as workers take advantage of the warmer weather to complete outdoor projects.

Causes for Summertime Work Injuries

According to a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workplace injuries are more frequent during the summer months of June, July and August. Between the three months, an average of 3,331.3 workplace injuries occur daily. Common causes of summertime workplace injuries can be attributed to:

Increased Demand
Excessive Heat Exposure
Improper Training

Increased Demand

The summer months are typically a time when businesses see an increase in demand for their products or services. Unfortunately, this increased demand can also lead to increased workplace injuries. When workers are under pressure by their managers to meet deadlines or produce more product, they may overexert themselves which places them at risk for injury.

Excessive Heat Exposure

During the hot summer months, workers in many industries are at risk for heat-related injuries. These injuries can occur due to exposure to excessive heat. Heat-related injuries can range from minor skin irritations to more serious problems like heat stroke, which can be fatal. Employers have a responsibility to protect their workers from these dangers.

Improper Training

Summer work injuries are unfortunately all too common, particularly among young workers. Many of these injuries could be prevented if employers took the time to properly train their employees and follow safety protocols. Unfortunately, in many cases employers cut corners in an effort to save time and money. This can result in serious injuries, or even fatalities.
