| Abstract: | Time-related distributions of the frequency of occupational traumatic accidents (3,309) were analyzed in two plants. Data on the distribution of work-related accidents (676,389) throughout Ontario between 1980–1984 were also compiled and compared with the data gathered in the two plants. Time-related distributions of accident frequency were similar for both plants and for the province of Ontario, with accidents peaking around noon. There was a direct relationship between the number of accidents and the level of the activity of the plants. At night, however, between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., despite a great decrease of activity level, there was a slight increase in accident frequency. |
