Four studies conducted in the light metal, electrotechnical and printing industries are described. The purpose was to determine the applicability of the systems approach to occupational accidents. The data consisted of 291 accidents and 701 controls. The stable characteristics of the workers or the environments were not good predictors of accidents. The clearest differences between the accidents and the controls involved the worker's situational experience, the frequency of task occurrence, the familiarity of the tasks, and the mobility of dangers. The complexity of the information exchange between man and his environment, as well as the perceptibility of environmental dangers, contributed to the occurrence of accidents.
本文描述了在轻金属、电工和印刷行业进行的四项研究。目的是确定系统方法在职业事故中的适用性。数据包括291起事故和701个对照。工人或环境的稳定特征并非事故的良好预测指标。事故与对照之间最明显的差异涉及工人的情境经验、任务发生频率、任务熟悉程度以及危险的流动性。人与环境之间信息交换的复杂性以及环境危险的可感知性导致了事故的发生。
