This study was carried out to analyse the industrial accidents which had occurred in four iron and steel making companies during the period of July 1,1977 to June 31, 1982.
The results obtained were as fallows;
1. The frequency rate and the severity rate of injury in the iron and steel making companies were 5.42 and 1. 72 respectively.
2. In injury frequency rate (IFR) and injury severity rate (ISR) by age, IFR showed the highest value in the age group of 25-29 years old (7.17) and the lowest value in the age group of under 19 years old, and ISR showed the highest value in the age group of over 40 years old (4.50) and the lowest value in the age group of under 19 years old (0.70).
3. It was found that those who had the longer work experience showed the less IFR and ISR. Darticulary, the group with less than 1 year work experience showed the highest value of IFR (9.78) and ISR (2.15).
-4. In the time of accident during a day, the highest incidence rate occurred in 16?18 hours as 19:5% of the total accidents and the lowest incidence occurred in 20-22 hours as 2.4%.
5. On the basis of the day of the week, 22%, the highest incidence, of the total accidents occured on Thursday, and 8.5%, the lowest indicence, occurred on Sunday.
6. The monthly highest incidence was observed in July as 15.9% of the total accidents, and the lowest incidence was observed in May as 3.7%.
7. As regards the causes, the accident brought on by power driven machinery showed the highest incidence as 26.8% of the total accidents, and followed by high temperature as 13. 3%. and by fall on same level as 9. 7%.
8. In the part of body injured, the part of finger showed the highest incidence as 30.5% of the total accidents. In order of high incidence next to the above: the part of foot as 18.2%, and part of face as 12.2% respectively.
9. In the accident frequency by unsafe acts, the accident caused by inattention to footing or surroundings showed the highest incidence as 27.8% of the total accidents. In order of high incidence next to the above: taking unsafe position or posture as 26.2%, failure to secure on warn as 12.6%, and driving errors as 11.1% respectively.
