dc.description.abstractThe absenteeism related to health and safety at work is a serious issue in the manufacturing process, and some industries can be dangerous work fields with a high level of accidents. It is important to understand what causes the accident and, if possible, apply standard procedures to minimize the risk of accidents and subsequent absenteeism. This study aims to assess the impact of the implementation of occupa-tional health and safety procedures on company absenteeism. In the compa-ny where the study took place, most work accidents and absenteeism hap-pened in the production area, with workers who directly handle raw materi-als and machines. As a result, an HSE manager was hired in order to reduce accidents by putting in place several hygiene and security measures and procedures. The results of these measures as well as absenteeism data were studied and con-clusions regarding company performance were drawnpt_PT
