Temporary workers face higher occupational injury risks due to factors like lack of job security and less experience. This study highlights job security as a key element in preventing workplace accidents.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Industrial Safety
  • Workplace Injury Research

Background:

  • Occupational injury causation is complex and debated.
  • Factors contributing to higher injury rates in specific worker groups require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of job security in the susceptibility of workers to occupational injuries.
  • To compare injury rates between permanent and temporary workers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 5 years of occupational injury records.
  • Interviews conducted with 726 permanent and temporary workers in an Indian factory.
  • Statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney U-test, chi-square test, and Poisson's distribution model.

Main Results:

  • Accident frequency and severity rates were significantly higher among temporary workers.
  • Worker groups showed similarity in age, education, habits, and work nature, isolating job security and experience as potential factors.

Conclusions:

  • Temporary workers exhibit higher accident risk, potentially linked to their less effective experience and inherent lack of job security.
  • Job security emerges as a critical factor influencing workplace safety and injury prevention for vulnerable worker groups.
