| Abstract |
This analysis of 354 accidents occurring over 2 years was intended to pinpoint the accident black spots in a medium-sized undertaking. The commonest type of accident (27%) was being struck or crushed by forgings during handling, followed by burns from incandescent particles, slips and falls, being struck by manipulating tongs and by machine parts (each 10%). Prevention measures: automation, protective clothing, training. More detailed analysis brought out the role of inappropriate human behaviour and of design not adapted to man. Influence of temperature, overtime and age on the accident rate. |
