Human caused injuries can be categorized into two sub-categories: hostile and __________.

Intentional
Carelessness
Threatening
Accidental

The correct answer is: Intentional

Human-caused injuries can be categorized into two sub-categories: hostile and intentional. The term "intentional" clearly refers to actions taken deliberately to cause harm or injury to another individual. This includes acts of violence or aggression where the perpetrator has a clear motive to inflict damage or suffering. Understanding the distinction between hostile and intentional injuries is important in safety assessments as it highlights the need for different prevention and response strategies. Hostile injuries may arise from aggressive actions, while intentional injuries may encompass a broader range of purposeful actions, not solely arising from hostility but still involving a desire to cause harm. This categorization helps in identifying sources of workplace violence and the need for intervention strategies to mitigate risks related to both hostile and intentional actions.
