[QUOTE="TheOmnibusDriver, post: 5735421, member: 6685635"] It seems that there are many different ways to be hurt on the job - since so much material has already been presented, I would like to focus upon organization and suggest a tree structure. If properly designed, it will enable easier and more intuitive assignment of damage. As an rough example with visualization...
