Like coworkers losing grip on their screwdrivers while forcing open devices that would be meant to be opened (and devices that are not but must be opened anyway). Or coworkers dropping a 5 kg steel-lead hatch on your arm/foot/neck. Or dropping a glass test jar in your vicinity, with flying splinters. Or tripping on a tensed cable forgot there by a messy coworker. Or having a metal conveyor started while operating on it.

It helps that I develop for industry applications...
