I have never gotten hurt on the work place but my dad has. He's an electrician and he was putting in some wires. He though that the power was turned off, but it actually wasn't so he got shocked fairly bad. He ended up being just fine, but it would have been prevented by checking to make sure the power was off. Injury, accidents, and death can be prevented by following health and safety regulations. These would be know the rules, asses risks and know how to deal with them, have proper training, use personal protective equipment and protective clothing, and lastly communicate with the people you're working with. If all these things are done then accidents are way less likey to happen in the workplace.
