Overload (Lifting Injuries)
Overload injuries are a common type of work injury. Any one of your bones or joints, muscles or tendons, ligaments, or other parts of your body can be overloaded. For example you can strain a muscle when you lift a load which is too heavy. If a muscle is weaker, it's much more likely to be overloaded and is more at risk of injury.
