[Seasons and the incidence of occupational and non-occupational accidents at the Szczecin shipyard in 1976].
The number of both occupational and nonoccupational accidents was found to increase in July, November and December. A cumulation of both those types of accidents was observed, which resulted in irregularities of sickness absenteeism. The months in which the rates of occupational and nonoccupational accidents significantly differed were January, March and October. Then the greater seasonality in one of those two types of accidents somehow seemed to be equalized by a lesser seasonality of the other. Much fewer accidents of both types were observed in August, April and May. Occupational traumas brought about longer disablement for work than nonoccupational ones: average annual number of days (accident at work = 14.9, outside work = 12.2. The highest indices of the severity of traumas at work: in April 17.5 days) accident, in March 16.7, in August 16.5, in October 16.0; the lowest -- in June -- 11.5. Those values were different in nonoccupational traumas: the highest was in August -- 14.4, whereas in the remaining ones, oscillation around the mean values was observed.
