Allergies increase injury risks, according to study
Allergies have a serious impact on employees’ work performance and productivity, according to a recent study of more than 10,000 manufacturing workers.
Compared to workers without allergies, employees with severe allergies made 2.5 to 3 times more mistakes, were absent 1.67 times more often, and had a nearly threefold increased risk of accidents or injuries, according to an article in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
