THE IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE ON INDUSTRIAL INJURIES RATE
Abstract
There is a hypothesis that professional experience has a significant impact on the safety and with its increase professional competence and mastery of employees grow, and hence the risk of an accident reduces. The objective of the author is to investigate the impact of professional work experience on the industrial injuries on the example of the track maintenance section of Kuibyshev Railway. The findings, presented in the paper, are based on statistical analysis and calculation of the degree of correlation between the average length of service and the number of victims of accidents. Variables, measured in the interval scale, and Pearson correlation coefficients were taken into account.
The author drew an unpredictable conclusion that the number of victims of accidents at work in no way depends on their professional work experience. To support her statement, the author provided certain explanations.
Editorial note: the authors’ technique could be applied to larger sample to verify the correctness of those conclusions.
