The Hidden Dangers of a Mild TBI
Commonly associated with sports injuries or car accidents, a traumatic brain injury is caused as a result of a hit or blow to the head. This kind of injury almost always requires medical treatment as it severely disrupts normal brain function. Mild TBIs are erroneously left untreated as people mistakenly label them as minor and unimportant injuries which can go away on their own. However, there are hidden dangers to even the slightest brain injuries, including memory loss, depression, insomnia, and migraines, which may indicate long-term consequences of this seemingly mild injury.
Common symptoms following a mild TBI include, but are not limited to:
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Headache
- Temporary loss of consciousness
- Nausea
- Ringing in the ears
Which Employees Are at Highest Risk of Brain Injury?
While an unexpected accident can happen literally anywhere, workplace brain injuries are most common in certain industries and workspaces. Unsurprisingly, construction workers have the highest risk of sustaining brain injuries, ranging from mild to fatal.
