Analysis of the Correlation between Occupational Accidents and Economic Factors in China

Abstract

One of the important factors affecting the production safety of a country or region is the level of economic development. Avoiding accidents under the condition of ensuring economic development is a problem that needs in-depth research. On the basis of collecting the data of occupational accidents and economic development indicators in China from 2000 to 2020, this paper studies the relationship between occupational accidents and five economic indicators, such as resident consumption, energy consumption, education funds, wage level and research input. The grey working accident model of Gaussian function is established, the occurrence trend of occupational accidents is quantitatively analyzed, and the accident reduction measures are suggested based on the relationship between accidents and economy. The results show that there is a strong correlation between accident and economic indicators, and the comprehensive correlation coefficient among scientific research investment, education funds and accident indicators is significantly higher than that of other economic indicators. Increasing investment in scientific research and education is conducive to improving the quality of workers and training safety professionals and can effectively reduce workplace accidents.

A Study on the Status of Safety and Health for Golf Course Caddies and Improvement of Protective Measures in South Korea

“…Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to determine the linear relationship between the two variables; the results are presented in Table 5. In general, a fair relationship is evident when the coefficient value is above 0.4, and a strong relationship exists between the two variables when it is above 0.7 [24]. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between health protection and protective measures for caddies (r = 0.468), and between protective measures for caddies and response to emotional labor (r = 0.652), preparation for gold-cart operation and compliance with golf cart safety during the game (r = 0.484).…”

“…In some aspects, China still lacks relevant policies 27 . Enterprise managers and workers have insufficient awareness of safety education 28 and insufficient safety investment 29 – 31 . Therefore, relevant policies should be formulated to improve the overall safety of production work.…”

Research on the Statistical Law of Coal Mine Safety Accidents and the Impact of Safety Policies on Accidents in China

“…In some aspects, China still lacks relevant policies [26]. Enterprise managers and workers have insu cient awareness of safety education [27] and insu cient safety investment [28][29][30]. Therefore, relevant policies should be formulated to improve the overall safety of production work.…”
