This study examines non-specific and specific age-related accident frequencies among Swedish non-ferrous are miners. Age-related accident ratios (ARs) were calculated for all accidents aggregated and for different accident types over a ten-year period, using five age categories and three time intervals. ARs tended to be lower among older workers but they varied between age groups and time periods for almost all accident types. They were higher at the end than at the start ofthe study period for the age cohort 25–34 for all accident types, and for the cohort 16–24 for two accident types. The results suggest that age-related risks are influenced by labor-market factors. In physically demanding jobs, reductions in personnel may expose middle-age and younger workers to higher risks, because of ‘basic capacities’ being exceeded or due to a lack of relevant experience. |
