Mark aged 26, is a welder with Blocks, Box and Sales, building division. Despite wearing the work-supplied goggles, he gets shards of metal in his eye while welding machinery. He is transferred to hospital as soon as possible, where he undergoes an operation to remove the metal. Unfortunately, it is the surgeon's first operation, and the operation results in Mark losing the sight in his eye. Peter (18) is a labourer working for Blocks, Box and Sales, building division. He takes his friend Bob (15) to a site owned by the company one evening to show him where he works and the progress of the building work. Although there is safety fencing at the entrance to the site, Peter takes Bob into the site via a back entrance where there is no fencing. In the fading light, both fail to see the trench for the foundations of a new building and fall into it. They both suffer leg fractures. Mary, aged 50, works for Blocks, Box and Sales, wholesale food division. She had previously (5 years before) been involved in a car accident, which resulted in serious injuries to her left leg, and meant that her left leg was shorter than the right and she had to use a walking stick to get around. One day at work, as she is crossing the floor, at the wholesale depot, a crate fell from its stack, pinned her to the ground and she suffered injuries to her back and partial amputation to her right leg, which resulted in Mary being wheelchair bound. Aamra works for Blocks, Box and Sales, wholesale food division on the cold meat counter. Her job was to serve and use the equipment to slice the cold meats as required by the local business customers. Abdul also worked on the same counter. One evening Aamra had cleaned the slicing machine, but was interrupted, and then forgot to put on the safety guard. The next morning, Abdul was the first to use the machine, and as the guard was not on, the machine sliced off two of his fingers on his right hand. He is right handed, and also a promising cricketer, who has just been called up to play for his county.
