Work accident and BIO Stefan? We are happy to address what this is all about in this blog post. Basically, we and our beloved customers assemble BIO Stefan during leisure time, so work accidents are rarely mentioned. But shouldn't the safety standards in the workplace be just as high as in private life or at least equivalent? We believe that private manual activities must also be protected, and we think it is time to raise awareness and educate on this matter.
Because generally, it should be said that unsafe behavior and general behavioral errors pose dangers to all involved.
According to analyses by the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), these are even the most accident-prone causes.
The fact is that in 9 out of 10 cases, behavioral errors are even (!) the main cause of
work accidents – including accidents with fatal consequences.
The causes seem trivial and unspectacular
1. Tripping, slipping, or falling (TSF accidents)
Accidents due to tripping, slipping, and falling (TSF accidents) rank at the top of the list of accident causes with 34.7% of all work accidents.
2. Incorrect use of tools and machines
Cutting, hammering, drilling: Every DIY enthusiast considers these tasks easy exercises. In fact, these activities – namely handling tools and handheld machines – are the second most frequent cause of work accidents.
3. Ignoring safety regulations
According to the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), 39.4% of all fatal work accidents are at least partially caused by the omission, improper, or unauthorized use of work equipment. This often happens deliberately, e.g., when employees deactivate safety devices, service a running machine, or do not use the required PPE.
4. Lack of experience
Young people up to 25 years old are about twice as often involved in work accidents as other adults – regardless of other factors. This cannot be explained only by the proverbial "youthful recklessness."
5. Routine
Even in the age group of 45 to 54 years, the risk of a fatal work accident is above average. And from the age of 55, the risk of such a fatal accident is higher than ever in working life. Because negligence often creeps in over time.
6. When the fish stinks from the head
Especially in smaller companies, safety awareness among many involved is not always as pronounced as it should be. In other words: often not enough time, money, and "manpower" are invested in occupational safety. This clearly reflects in the accident numbers.
This is fatal because companies with few employees cope worst with the sudden loss of an employee. Even a single work accident can lead to a significant economic burden for the company.
