Trucking Industry Injury Rates and Costs Among the Highest
Truck drivers have some of the highest rates of workplace injuries in Washington state, according to a new report from the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I).
Each year, one in every 13 truck drivers in the state of Washington has a work-related injury serious enough that they have to miss work for a period of time.
A new report from the Department of Labor & Industries, “Trucking Industry: Examining Injuries for Prevention,” includes information to help employers target the hazards their employees are most likely to encounter. The new report covers the years 2006-2012 and breaks the data down into six different trucking sectors.
