“…Barth et al examined the temporal relationship of injury rates and national income in a study with data from Austria. 23 The rate of injury declined as gross domestic product increased over the 50-year period from 1955 to 2004, and Barth et al concluded that economic development leads to improvements in occupational safety. 23 Most research on the impact of public policy on occupational injury rates in the United States has been directed toward policies that attempt to create incentives for employers to improve safety through regulation and enforcement or by adjusting insurance costs.…”

Political Economy of US States and Rates of Fatal Occupational Injury

et al. 2009

Objectives. We investigated the extent to which the political economy of US states, including the relative power of organized labor, predicts rates of fatal occupational injury. Methods. We described states’ political economies with 6 contextual variables measuring social and political conditions: “right-to-work” laws, union membership density, labor grievance rates, state government debt, unemployment rates, and social wage payments. We obtained data on fatal occupational injuries from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatality surveillance system and population data from the US national census. We used Poisson regression methods to analyze relationships for the years 1980 and 1995. Results. States differed notably with respect to political–economic characteristics and occupational fatality rates, although these characteristics were more homogeneous within rather than between regions. Industry and workforce composition contributed significantly to differences in state injury rates, but political–economic characteristics of states were also significantly associated with injury rates, after adjustment accounting for those factors. Conclusions. Higher rates of fatal occupational injury were associated with a state policy climate favoring business over labor, with distinct regional clustering of such state policies in the South and Northeast.

“…The main reason for this fact is in rising periods with the impact of general prosperity and increase in occupational health and safety measures due to the scientific and technological developments that create new opportunities for the prevention of these hazards and preventive security reduce work-related accidents. On the other hand, economic downturns coincide with job losses and decreasing investments, and fear of unemployment is known to be a risk factor for occupational accidents (Barth et al, 2007).…”

“…employee health, work equipment used, long working hours, carelessness, fatigue, work organization, inability of the receipt of the safety precautions and safety training etc. As revealed in the study of economic growth and occupational injuries in Austria (Barth et al, 2007) many factors mentioned above are already related to overall economic development. It is expected that increasing the development level of a country ensures the social and economic rights of workers and the provision of decent job opportunities for employees.…”

Occupational accidents are among the most important issues of the agenda of working life in Turkey recently. Recently the causes and consequences of occupational accidents which are related to human, occupational and environmental factors have received great attention from the researchers but it has been paid little attention to focused on economic factors. The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution to redressing this gap by examining the relationship between fatal occupational accidents and economic development over the period of 1980 to 2012 for Turkey. In this context, bounds testing approach which is also known as autoregressive distributed lag model is performed. The results indicate the existence of positive relationship between gross domestic product per capita and fatal occupational accidents in the short-run while in the long run this turns out to be in a negative way via economic growth and changes in structure of the economy.

“…Wiener Klinische (2007) [5] studied the relationship between decrease of occupational injury and economic growth in Austria and found that economic growth could decrease occupational injury. A Barth, R Winker, E Ponocny-Seliger, L Sögner (2007) [6] studied the relativity between gross domestic product (GDP) and occupational hurts by method of statistics analysis and found that there is close relationship between economic growth and the decrease of occupational hurts. WANG Xian-zhen et al (2007) [7] made a statistical research on 998 occupational safety and socioeconomic indexes in typical developed countries and China, and proved that occupational safety is related to socioeconomic development level on national level.…”

Abstract. This paper made a panel regression model analysis on relationship between regional economic development and regional industrial safety among 4 economic regions in China based on statistical similarity. Results showed that regional economic development has certain influence on regional industrial accidents risks, a region with high gross domestic product could be found low industrial fatality rate, Regional proportion of industry, human resource and technology are obvious elements effecting regional industrial safety. It is benefit for decreasing regional industrial accidents by way of improving regional economic structure, human resource and technical level.
