Abstract

The number of fatal occupational injuries (FOI), the number of scientific publications in ergonomics (SP) and the gross domestic product (GDP) of 30 countries were investigated in their mutual dependence. It has been shown that, though with a linear increase in the GDP, the ratio of FOI/SP decreases exponentially, GDP may be only one of the major influencing factors.
