This is a completely new type of report, which before the pandemic was negligible. It has risen from just under 300 to almost 3,400. This is a record number of lost-time injuries for women in 2021. The most common accidents were falls and movements with effort, such as lifting patients. For men, most reported lost-time accidents were caused by loss of control of hand tools and means of transport.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.se\/press\/kraftig-okning-av-corona-relaterade-arbetsskadeanmalningar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Find out more<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between 2020 and 2021, the number of accidents at work with time off increased by 23% and the number of occupational diseases by 48%.
