The most common reasons for an accident at work - you won't believe it!

Accident at work and BIO Stefan? In this blog post, we would like to explain what this is all about. Basically, we and our beloved customers build BIO Stefan in our free time, so we rarely talk about accidents at work. But shouldn't the safety requirements in the work environment be in no way inferior or equal to those in the private sphere? We are of the opinion that private manual activities must also be protected, and we believe that it is time to raise awareness here.

In general, it can be said that unsafe behavior and behavioral errors in general entail risks for all parties 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 banal and unspectacular
1. Stumbling, slipping or falling (SRS accidents)
Accidents due to stumbling, slipping and falling (SRS accidents) are at the top of the list of causes of accidents, accounting for 34.7 % of all occupational accidents.
2. Operating tools and machines incorrectly
Cutting, hammering, drilling: Every do-it-yourselfer thinks these activities are an easy
exercise. In fact, it is precisely these activities - namely the handling of tools and hand machines - that lead to occupational accidents the second most frequently.
3. Disregarding safety regulations
According to the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), 39.4 % of all fatal occupational accidents are caused at least in part by the omitted, improper or unauthorized use of work equipment. This often happens wantonly, e.g. when employees deactivate protective devices, maintain a machine running
or do not use the required PPE.
4. Lack of experience
Young people up to 25 years of age are involved in occupational accidents about twice as often as the other adults - and this regardless of which other factors play a role.
tors. This can be explained by more than just the proverbial "youthful recklessness."
5. Routine
The risk of a fatal occupational accident is also higher than average in the 45 to 54 age group. And from the age of 55, the risk of such a fatal accident is higher than ever in working life.
This is because carelessness often creeps in over time.
6. When the fish stinks from the head
Particularly in smaller companies, safety awareness is not always as pronounced as it should be among many of those involved
. In other words, often not enough time, money and "manpower" is invested in occupational safety. This is clearly reflected in the accident figures.
This is fatal, because it is precisely companies with few employees that are worst able to cope with the sudden loss of an employee. Even a single occupational accident can
lead to a considerable economic burden for the company.
