| Abstract |
Data on industrial injuries at the Southern California Edison Company for the period 1980 to 1987 were analyzed; cost data were converted to 1993 dollars. A cost model was developed based on medical costs, indemnity costs and lost productivity costs. The total average cost per injury for the 46 occupations was USD 5,173; the occupational total average injury cost ranged from USD 300 to USD 19,500. Occupations with high total average injury costs may be selected for special injury reduction programmes. The model provides a forecasting tool for generating future injury costs for current years. |
