摘要：	An analysis of Health and Safety Executive (HSE) RIDDOR data for general workplace non-fatal injuries from 2020/21 shows that injuries from lifting and carrying, trips and falls on the same level, falls from height, falling objects and, believe it or not, physical assault by another person, typically top the charts. In the same year there were a total of 51,211 reportable injuries in the workplace. Translated into the workshop environment, hazards such as cables, airlines, inspection pits, heavy equipment and components, working at height and machine tools will contribute to this sector's share of the statistics. Sometimes overlooked in the workshop environment are hazards that can harm the eye. Brake dust, spray paint, corrosive liquids, fuel and oil, metal and rust fragments, laser beams, bright light, emissions from welding and sharp objects can all cause eye injury. While the HSE says that only 1% of all reportable non-fatal injuries affect the eye, in 2021 this still accounted for 512 people in the UK who sustained an eye injury at work, or lost sight in one or both eyes. Self-reports from the government's 2021 Labour Force Survey put the figure at 4,410.
