Work related injuries

Work related injuries are damages inflicted to the body during work, or in a short duration between exposure to workplace conditions and the health event, usually within less than 48 hours. These are manifested primarily as acute symptoms of deleterious workplace exposures.

The term mostly refers to traumatic injuries, although conditions such as stroke are considered as occupational injuries in some laws related to workers' compensations.
