The report calculated how many <a href=\"\/Workers-Compensation\/\">injuries<\/a> and illnesses are suffered per every 100 full time workers in various fields. The top finishers make up the most dangerous places to work, in terms of the likelihood of being hurt or getting sick while doing the job. Three of the top four and four of the top six most dangerous professions involve the medical field. The job that suffered the highest rate of injury and illness per 100 full time workers was nursing and residential care in a state government run facility.<\/p>\n<p>The report identifies how many people miss work due to injury or illness, as well as how many days they are away from work, restricted in their work, or transferred from their job. State government run nursing and residential care facility workers suffered 13.1 cases of injury or illness per 100 workers, with each instance averaging 7.4 days missed. The second riskiest job was local justice, public order and safety work, including work as a police officer or firefighter. These workers saw 10.3 cases of injury or illness per 100 and missed 5.6 days of work on average. Third and fourth place went to nursing and residential care in local government facilities and local government hospital work, respectively. Altogether, it shows that working in a medical facility operated by any level of government is a good way to suffer high rates of injury and illness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidmanlaw.net\/blog\/the-medical-field-is-at-high-risk-for-work-related-injuries\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading The Medical Field Is At High Risk For Work-Related Injuries\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work Accidents | October 29, 2012 Each year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases a report concerning occupational injuries and illnesses.
