| Abstract |
This article analyses trends in accident frequencies in the Spanish food industry between 1996 and 2006, together with the causes of accidents and risk factors by length of service and enterprise size. Spain has the highest rate of accidents in this industry among all EU countries. Safety efforts undertaken so far have therefore proven to be insufficient and need to be continued. |
