Area of Science:

• Occupational Safety and Health
• Risk Management
• Statistical Analysis

Context:

• Workplace accidents pose significant risks in R&D organizations.
• Analyzing accident data is crucial for implementing targeted safety measures.
• A Spanish R&D organization with 8,780 workers was studied over three years.

Purpose:

• To analyze workplace accidents by identifying provoking risks.
• To establish a classification of priority risks for preventive actions.
• To enhance the effectiveness of safety interventions by focusing on vulnerable risks.

Summary:

• Statistical-mathematical techniques were applied to accident data from a Spanish R&D organization.
• A comparison was made with national accident data over an 11-year period.
• The methodology identified interaction with aggressive substances and moving machinery as priority risks.

Impact:

• The findings enable organizations to prioritize preventive actions effectively.
• Focusing on high-vulnerability risks improves overall workplace safety.
• This approach ensures resources are allocated to the most critical areas for accident reduction.
