- D.
  
  All of the above can be termed as work related injuries
Correct Answer
A. Repetitive strain injury

Explanation
A repetitive strain injury is a type of injury that occurs as a result of repetitive movements or overuse of a particular body part. It is commonly associated with tasks that involve repetitive motions, such as typing or using a computer mouse for extended periods of time. This type of injury is often seen in office or computer-based jobs. Unlike cuts and lacerations, which are typically caused by sharp objects, and inhaling toxic fumes, which can occur in various work environments, repetitive strain injury specifically refers to injuries caused by repetitive motions at work. Therefore, it can be considered a work-related injury.

- D.
  
  Ground maintenance workers
Correct Answer
A. Accountant

Explanation
The correct answer is Accountant because accountants typically work in an office environment and their job does not involve physical labor or exposure to hazardous conditions. On the other hand, iron and steel workers, truck drivers, and ground maintenance workers are all considered to be injury prone jobs due to the physical demands and potential risks associated with their work.

These factors increase the risk of accidents and injuries, leading to a higher fatality rate in the logging industry.
