This is a study of the number, and trends in lost-time work accidents in a paper-manufacturing plant using company records. The accident statistics have changed since the introduction of the Accident Compensation Act on 1 April 1974. There was a 150% increase in reported lost-time work accidents from 1973 to 1977, a period during which the workforce increased only by 24%. The main reason is due to the different benefit rates that are payable to lost-time accident cases under the Accident Compensation Act. This study also shows management commitment to safety programmes can effectively reduce the number of reported lost time accidents. The average accident frequency rate of this firm from 1961 to 1982 was 5.71 accidents per 100 000 man-hours.
这是一项利用公司记录对一家造纸厂的误工事故数量及趋势进行的研究。自1974年4月1日《事故赔偿法》实施以来，事故统计数据发生了变化。从1973年到1977年，报告的误工事故增加了150%，而在此期间劳动力仅增加了24%。主要原因是根据《事故赔偿法》，误工事故案件可获得的不同赔偿率。这项研究还表明，管理层对安全计划的承诺可以有效减少报告的误工事故数量。该公司1961年至1982年的平均事故发生率为每10万工时5.71起事故。
