Bibliographic information Apr. 1972, No.4, p.22-23.
Abstract Individual temperaments and accident history were studied in 652 miners and factors such as training, age, length of service, type of job and individual reactions to hazard and accident situations were investigated; workers were also classified by temperament into 5 categories (dynamic but unbalanced, dynamic and balanced, calm, passive, dynamic-indeterminate). The number of accidents was broken down on the basis of these categories. The results have made it possible to determine whether given temperaments are suitable for employment on hazardous jobs in different types of work.
