Abstract(s)
This study aims to characterize the occupational accidents in convenience supermarkets, identifying the personal factors related to its frequency and severity. A total of 443 accidents that occurred between 2015 and September 2017, in a group of supermarkets from a Portuguese company, were analyzed. Different company databases were gathered and compiled for the purpose of this study. Frequency and severity rates were determined for the total accidents and for employees age and gender. Results showed that both accident rates increased during the analyzed period. Higher frequency and severity rates were found for female. Data also denote that accidents with higher severity occurred in workers with more than 46 years old and among the ones with basic education.
