Any injury to the left arm or hand and, in the case of a left-handed employee, to the right arm or hand, may in the discretion of the Director-General be rated at ninety per cent of the above percentage. If there are two or more injuries the sum of the percentages for such injuries may be increased, in the discretion of the Director-General.
