| Resumen |
A report on a postal survey of persons claiming workmen's compensation in British Columbia, intended to determine broad areas in which accident research might be carried out. The results of the analysis of 618 responses are given. The study covered such matters as specific safety suggestions (the main suggestions were "more safety inspections" and "introduction of new equipment and machinery"), having breakfast before starting work, workers' sleep patterns, the effects of job change, accident sequence. No relationship was found between having breakfast or not (hence blood-sugar levels) and accident occurrence, but a relationship was found between the disruption of sleeping/waking patterns and accidents. An examination was made of the accident potential of those job changes that involve similar, but not identical, work procedures. A model of an accident as a sequence of warning-related events was roughly outlined. Claimants' suggestions for changes in safety procedures are tabulated. |
