Reivindicações de lesões nas costas e na coluna
Há várias causas de dor nas costas, incluindo: distensões, tropeções e escorregões, lesões esportivas e lesões causadas no local de trabalho, em locais públicos ou em acidentes de trânsito. Lesões nas costas ou na coluna podem ser muito graves, às vezes resultando em dor crônica com efeitos incapacitantes de longo prazo. Uma lesão nas costas pode ter um efeito devastador no estilo de vida normal de uma pessoa.
A coluna vertebral, ou espinha dorsal, é uma estrutura complexa composta por 33 ossos e tecidos que se estendem do crânio até a pélvis. Esses ossos (vértebras) protegem os tecidos nervosos da medula espinhal. Há diferentes tipos de vértebras ao longo das costas.
A prevenção de lesões nas costas é um grande desafio para a segurança no local de trabalho. Os empregadores são obrigados por lei a aderir a normas rígidas de saúde e segurança. É seu dever proporcionar um ambiente de trabalho seguro para todos os membros da equipe em todas as áreas do local de trabalho, dentro e fora dele.
Lesões nas costas relacionadas ao trabalho
As lesões na coluna vertebral relacionadas ao trabalho podem ser causadas pelo levantamento, colocação, transporte e retenção de materiais manuais.
