Pinnacol data findings were consistent with other industries and found that workers are most at risk in their first six months of employment (38% of all injuries occur in that period). Three-fourths of claims occur during normal business hours. Cannabis businesses also had a low incidence of workplace violence, equating to fewer than 3% of claims.

Motor vehicle accidents were responsible for the most severe and most costly claims, according to Pinnacol.
