Just for fun
In the lesson 'Assessing risks' we looked at some of the injuries that tend to occur in the manufacturing and furnishing industries.
Can you remember which part of the body is injured most often on-the-job? Select the No. 1 injured part from the first drop down window below. Then work your way down the list in order, finishing with the least injured part of the body. When you've completed your rankings, click on the 'Check your answers' button to see how you went.
As you rank each of these parts of the body, think about the sorts of accidents that might cause those injuries. If you're doing this exercise with a partner, try to name one potential cause each, and then give a 'control measure' that would reduce the risk of it occurring.
| Percent of injuries | Select part of body | |
|---|---|---|
 | No:1 at 24% | Hand and fingers |
| No:2 at 16% | Back | |
| No:3 at 11% | Eye | |
| No:4 at 7% | Shoulder | |
| No:5 at 5% | Knee | |
| No:6 at 3% | Ankle |
