| Abstract |
Based on a sample of 213 Spanish industrial establishments, this study analyses the impact of organizational factors and risk prevention practices on occupational injuries. Results show that the emphasis on the innovative dimensions of prevention activities, the intensive use of quality management tools and the empowerment of workers are all factors contributing to reduce the number of injuries. By contrast, the implementation of flexible manufacturing processes is associated with higher accident rates. |
