This study investigated the prevalence and the effect of injury in British horseracing staff during a 12-month period. An online retrospective survey was answered by 352 participants, identifying self-reported injury prevalence, injury management practices and attitudes towards workplace injury reporting. Chi Squared tests for independence were undertaken. A total of 310 (88.1%) staff reported injuries; risk factors for injury type included self-perceived job security, working hours, and perceived job control. Physical limitations, loss of confidence, workplace changes, and lifestyle implications were reported as consequences of injury. A total of 75.3% (n = 134) of staff were likely to seek time-off following fractures, but only 48.6% (n = 86) would take time-off for concussion. Attitudes towards injury management were influenced by financial circumstances, perceived staff shortages, previous injury experiences, and perceived employer expectations. The high self-reported injury prevalence could result in decreased workforce efficiency, poor physical health, and negative implications on retention and career longevity. The perception of invisible injuries, i.e., concussion, and subsequent management, should be of immediate concern to racing organizations. This paper identifies recommendations to enhance the safety and wellbeing of horseracing staff.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19042054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,13]],"date-time":"2022-02-13T21:08:43Z","timestamp":1644786523000},"page":"2054","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Is Injury an Occupational Hazard for Horseracing Staff?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Emma","family":"Davies","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Equestrian Performance Research Centre, Hartpury University, Gloucestershire GL19 3BE, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Will","family":"McConn-Palfreyman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SportScotland Institute of Sport, Stirling  FK9 5PH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4912-1535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John K.","family":"Parker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Research Centre, Hartpury University, Gloucestershire GL19 3BE, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorna J.","family":"Cameron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Equestrian Performance Research Centre, Hartpury University, Gloucestershire GL19 3BE, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0695-3828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jane M.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Equestrian Performance Research Centre, Hartpury University, Gloucestershire GL19 3BE, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, February 04).
