There is a dearth of information examining minor injuries and cognitive failures in the workplace.
This study aims to describe the incidence of, and characteristics associated with, minor injuries, cognitive failures and accidents in the workplace.
The study was a community based postal questionnaire survey of people selected at random from the Electoral Registers of Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil; 7980 questionnaires were returned.
Frequent/very frequent minor injuries were reported by 9.8% of the workers and frequent/very frequent cognitive failures (e.g. problems of memory, attention or action) by 10.5%. Work accidents requiring treatment were reported by 5.6% of the workers. Minor injuries, cognitive failures and accidents were associated with a number of demographic and health factors. In addition, minor injuries, cognitive failures and accidents were found to be related to each other.
A large number of workers experience accidents and minor injuries at work. Minor injuries are not recorded by official sources but could have implications in productivity and worker health. Factors identified in this study, as associated with injuries or accidents, could be addressed by specific workplace policies or by raising individual awareness of the risks.
关于工作场所轻伤和认知失误的研究资料匮乏。
本研究旨在描述工作场所轻伤、认知失误及事故的发生率及其相关特征。
该研究是一项基于社区的邮政问卷调查，从加的夫和梅瑟蒂德菲尔的选民登记册中随机选取人员；共收回7980份问卷。
9.8%的工人报告经常/非常频繁出现轻伤，10.5%的工人报告经常/非常频繁出现认知失误（如记忆、注意力或行动问题）。5.6%的工人报告发生了需要治疗的工作事故。轻伤、认知失误和事故与一些人口统计学和健康因素相关。此外，发现轻伤、认知失误和事故之间相互关联。
大量工人在工作中遭遇事故和轻伤。轻伤未被官方记录，但可能对生产力和工人健康产生影响。本研究中确定的与伤害或事故相关的因素，可以通过特定的工作场所政策或提高个人对风险的认识来解决。
