Best Answer

An illness and a injury are different in that an illness is a sickness and an injury is physical bodily harm. An example of an occupational injury can be someone breaking their arm at work. An occupation illness can be someone breathing in coal dust or some other type of chemical that can cause diseases or health disorders.
