occupational injuries
Job-related bodily damage
Occupational injuries are physical harms sustained while working—cuts, burns, fractures, strains, or worse.
The term appears in legal and insurance contexts where the connection between injury and employment matters: Workers' compensation covers most occupational injuries.
Distinguished from occupational diseases, which develop gradually from workplace conditions rather than discrete incidents.
