According to a new report, food service workers who are injured at work take an average of 30 days to return.

AmTrust Financial Services Inc., the fourth largest provider of workers’ comp insurance, analyzed restaurant client’s claims data from 84,006 claims between 2013 and 2017 to develop their “AmTrust Restaurant Risk Report”.

Injuries vary across restaurant type and across claim length. They found that cuts, punctures or scrapes make up a third of reported claims. Sharp objects cause the most reported claims, but falls and slips resulted in $198.4 million in claims paid which was 4.5 times more than paid losses for cuts, punctures or scrapes.

Cafés and coffee shops incur on average 45 percent more lost time than other restaurant types. Wrist injuries are the biggest danger for coffee shop workers, “Barista Wrist” results in an average of 366 days out of work. Barbecue restaurants have the highest days lost for “strains from lifting” with an average of 65.9 days out.

Average lost time due to restaurant injuries varies from less than four days to almost two months. States with the highest average lost time due to restaurant injuries are Vermont, New Jersey, Indiana, Mississippi and Idaho. States with the lowest lost time on average were Ohio, Michigan, North Dakota, Wyoming and Washington.

AmTrust’s data indicated that claims increase in the summer months. That is a busier time for restaurants in general, with about four to five percent more employees on staff in the summer months. In 2017 July had 13 percent more claims than the average month.
