Hospitality Worker Injury 

While for many, a hospitality role is an entry-level role, that does not mean that hospitality roles are easy. Those working in hospitality face a number of risk factors that may put them at greater likelihood of sustaining an injury. Common hospitality injuries include: burns, slip and falls, repetitive strain injuries, and potentially psychological injuries. 

Physical injuries can place a physical limitation on a worker’s capacity to perform their role. Resultingly, a hospitality worker who has suffered an injury such as a burn or fall, may now be unable to work and earn. Likewise, psychological injuries can also render an employee unable to return to their role. Let’s face it, hospitality workers can often be exploited and mistreated by authority figures in their relative businesses. Workplace bullying, over working or discrimination based on race, gender or sexual orientation can inflict psychological harm on an individual. This can manifest as a psychological injury such as severe anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, which can influence a workers ability to work and earn just as much as any physical injury.
