Right guys, I need help here... my new job is insurance.

I need you to tell me what you do for a job, then list all the professional hazards & risks

i.e. Dj & production = deafness

anythin you feel could be a hazard of your profession or previous professions so i have an idea of who is best for me to cover

Cheers lads

I work in a sales office and so the biggest hazard here would probably be the small fridge blowing up and the cans of coca cola exploding...

But if you look on the HSE website, there may be some statistics for types of accident etc...

IT Technician

Heavy lifting
Crushed by large boxes/packaging/cages
retrieving items from shelves/high storage
Electrocution
Cuts from packaging knife/ wire
VDU eye strain
RSI from typing
Bad back from poor chair
inhalation of toner

I'm sure like Al_phaD said there are some statistics website out there as there are companies probably like yours and HSE who collate all fo this information.

PUA, pregnancy, STDs

Dam Kids too!
nothing a good termination doesnt sort out

Jacket room operative (book order sorter )
back strain from heavy lifting,pulling heavy weights
cuts from broken glass
forklift`s/ppt`s/man ups`s may hit you/drop things etc
pallets stacked high in the racking
Use of sharp knives
annoying co workers may get slapped around

Pretty much anything to do with construction. If things go tits up you can have a field day.

what are you offering company or personnel insurance or is it just a few specific areas?

personal! life critical illness & accident

my bad


the main accident we deal with at work are slip trips and falls and carrying of items dropping incorrect lifting etc.

below has some more information and includes which jobs have the highest injury rate.
