High-risk physical labor and service industries consistently generate the highest volume and severity of workers' compensation claims. Professions in construction, roofing, freight trucking, warehousing and logistics, logging, and agriculture report the highest injury frequencies due to heavy machinery operation, fall hazards, and strenuous manual handling. Additionally, healthcare occupations—particularly nursing assistants and orderlies—experience high claim frequencies regarding musculoskeletal disorders and overexertion injuries from patient lifting.
