COVID-19 has had far-reaching impacts on global health, the workforce and workplace safety. For example, Long COVID – characterized by symptoms that persist for weeks or months after recovery from the acute phase of the illness – can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even more severe cognitive and physical impairments.
Workers experiencing Long COVID may be at higher risk of workplace injuries due to cognitive, physical and mental health challenges. Understanding how these symptoms interact with job tasks and safety protocols is essential to mitigating potential risks and supporting affected workers.
The Long COVID and Workplace Safety report from the National Safety Council draws from NSC survey data and existing research to examine how Long COVID affects risk in the workplace. It outlines strategies to reduce these risks and provides resources for supporting affected workers.
