title: [Analysis of occupational accidents in the years 1982-1994 in the Szczecin Province].
abstract: The aim of the study was to analyse the incidence of accidents at work in the Szczecin voivodship in 1982-94. In the analysis the number of workers employed in the national economy and the number of accidents were taken into account. The rate of accidents at work (the number of accidents/1,000 workers in /1000), the accident severity (the number of work disability days/the number of accidents at work), the rate of fatal accidents at work (the number of fatal accidents/1,000 workers in /1000), the rate of acute injuries (the number of severe injuries per 1,000 accidents at work) were determined. The rates of accidents at work and fatal accidents in the Szczecin voivodship were compared with the rates in the whole country during the same period. The number of workers employed throughout the period between 1982-94 maintained at almost the same level. It increased mostly in 1990 and then decreased (Table 1). The largest number of accidents was registered in 1983 and the lowest in 1994. During the period studied the number of fatal accidents and absenteeism due to accidents at work decreased, however, the rates of fatal accidents and acute injuries increased. The rate of accidents at work in the Szczecin voivodship during the years 1982-94 was higher than in the whole country.
