Answer 2

The correct answer is C. None of them are struck by hazards but rather caught in or between hazards.

A struck by hazard is when an object such as a flying object, falling object, swinging object or rolling object accidentally comes into contact with a person and impacts the person with another object or piece of equipment.  A caught in or between injury is similar to a struck by hazard but they are created more as a result of a crushing injury between two objects such as being pulled into or caught in machinery and equipment or being compressed or crushed between rolling, sliding or shifting objects.
