Abstract

The hand woundings among the meat industry workers are the main cause of high rates of work accident-related sick absenteeism. That can be proved by comparing sick absenteeism rates in other production plants. An increased work accident-related sick absenteeism results from the fact that a knife is the main tool used by workers employed in such kind of production. Protective gloves used in the past did not decrease the number of hand woundings because of their poor quality. The change in salaries of the sick because of hand wounding decreased considerably the number of accidents. However, that can contribute to harmful dissimulation from the hygienic and epidemiological points of view.
