By far the most common form of injury was a sprain or strain, with close to a third of injured workers being affected, while chronic joint or muscle conditions (18%) and open wounds (16%) were also common complaints. Although men had a higher proportion of cuts or open wounds, women experienced greater issues with chronic joint or muscle conditions.
