Injury risk factors

Injury risk factors are elements that increase the chance of getting hurt. These include physical conditions like muscle weakness or poor balance, environmental issues such as slippery floors or uneven surfaces, behavioral aspects like rushing or not paying attention, and equipment problems such as faulty tools. Age and previous injuries can also make someone more vulnerable. Recognizing these factors helps in taking steps to prevent injuries by improving safety measures, strengthening muscles, and being cautious in potentially hazardous situations.
