Bullying at work
Bullying can happen in any workplace. Being bullied or working in a climate of bullying can lead to psychological and/or physical injury and can also contribute to other injuries. Workers affected by bullying may be more likely to make mistakes causing injuries, and may because of increased muscular tension be more likely to develop injuries such as occupational overuse syndrome and low back pain.
