“…This could be due to more difficult and dangerous jobs that are done by men and women are occupied in administrative and office works. This finding is in agreement with the results of the other researchers that reported the high accident numbers among men workers [10,[15][16][17]. As results indicated, the most accidents occurred in Fars capital (Shiraz) 79%.…”

Occupational accidents and incidents are increased in parallel of growth and expansion of industries. Implementation of preventive measures requires detailed analysis of accidents. So, the major goal of this study was analyze data on occupational accidents induced sever injury in Fars province, in the period [2005][2006][2007] in order to use clues that would support political definition of priorities and strategies for prevention. Data were collected from 200 accidents registered in the Fars Labor Organization. Inclusion criteria were having an occupational accident during 2005-2007 and availability of the events records. Analysis was done using SPSS software (version 16.0) and descriptive analysis was used. The majority of injured workers (98%) were male. Of the accidents, 79% were occurred in Fars' capital. The most frequent occupational accidents and injuries occurred in private industries (97.5%). Most commonly affected workers were aged group 21 -35. Results also shown that, 84% of workers had low education under diploma level. Workers with experience less than one year (12 months) had more accident (52.5%) than others. The most frequent occupational accidents occurred in construction activities (construction building). Of the accident, 24.13% were occurred due to neglect of regulations and lack of supervision. Unsafe act and unsafe condition were causes of 21.68% accidents. Accidents analysis and assessment could be used to identify component causing accidents and to give recommendations for accident prevention. Some considerations should be regarding for preventive measures which included: implementing and evaluating training program and establishment of OHS system, as well as insurance position.

“…The analysis results of construction workers' genders indicate that the male workers (mean; IRs = 0.848/100 workers, MRs = 19.310/100,000 workers) were more likely to suffer from occupational accidents than female workers (mean; IRs = 0.228/100 workers, MRs = 2.802/100,000 workers). According to Lin et al [5], in Taiwan construction, male workers (31.8/100,000 workers) had almost 1.8 times higher mortality rates than female workers (17.2/100,000 workers). Lipscomb et al [21] presented the rates of treated injuries from the emergency department in U.S. construction sector were significantly higher among male workers (230/10,000 full-time workers) than that of female workers (65/10,000 full-time workers).…”

“…Dong et al [4] discovered that out of many types of fatal injuries in the U.S. construction industry, there is a correlation between falls from the roof and economic cycles. Lin et al [5] conducted a study to identify the difference in incidence rates according to gender. Some researchers analyzed the relationship between day [6], time [7], and occupational injuries.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of construction accidents occurred from 2011 to 2015 in Korea. The annual reports from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Korea (MOEL), and the annual reports from the Statistics Korea were used for the analysis in this study. The gender, age, company size and accident types were chosen as a category to analyze the trend of various occupational accidents. In order to analyze the characteristics of construction accidents, incidence rates (IRs) and mortality rates (MRs) were calculated. Further, T-tests and ANOVA analysis were performed to discover the relationships among IRs, MRs, and chosen categories. Male workers' IRs and MRs were significantly higher than those of female workers. Construction workers over 40 years of age suffered the most from occupational injuries. In terms of company size, as company size increases, both IRs and MRs tended to decrease. Occupational injuries caused by falls were higher than other accident types each year. This paper will be able to provide information on occupational accidents for establishing strategies to reduce the accident rate in construction sectors of Korea.

Objectives Industrial advances, as a result of globalization, causes many threats to the working life. These threats are generally associated with the level of economic development of countries. While threats from industrialization are decreasing in developed countries, developing countries are still faced with these threats. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between fatal work accidents (FWA), and independent variables which are national income (NI) and employment rate (ER) in a number of selected countries. Methods In this study the relationship between FWA and independent variables which are NI and ER of 18 developed and developing countries and a region, between 2006 and 2015, was analyzed by applying panel data analysis. Results According to panel data analysis, whilst a 1% increase in the NI reduces the FWA rate by 1.1%, a 1% increase in the ER results in an increase of approximately 4% in the rate of FWA. Conclusions As a result, there was a negative relationship between the FWA and NI growth and a positive relationship with the ER
