Abstract

This chapter presents a new kind of comprehensive data on all injurious accidents (10 years timespan) involving employees (N = 13,000) of two large workplaces in Finland. The main aim of this study was to clarify and assess the significance of risks among employees in different lost-time injury (LTI) accident categories, which were accidents at work, at home and during leisure time as well as when commuting to/from the job. Therefore, it was possible to reveal the total risk based on both frequency and absence time figures related to accidents. As far as the studied cases (a metal processing mill and a municipality) are concerned, home and leisure-time accidents appeared to be the most numerous category. Preliminary analysis of the metal processing case seemed to show that blue-collar employees have more numerous accidents of leisure in the same way they do have more numerous accidents at workplace, compared with white-collar employees.
