Falling- Many office goers fall prey to a ladder or a stool, in the course of getting a file from the high shelf or rack.
Temperature Scare- Many factory workers come in contact with unsafe temperature levels while working in the factory. These accidents result in burning, exhaustion due to heat or even frostbite problems.
