Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the occupational accidents trends and their under-reporting estimations in Pakistan during 1993-2009. Accident rates and Index value analysis method base on year 1993 used to compare the changing profile of occupational accidents. Occupational accidents underreporting (Ur) in non-reporting factories (NRFs) calculated by considering their proportional accident rate equal to the number of reported occupational accidents by RFs. Total 10330 occupational accidents investigated in RFs. Total 819 fatal accidents found with average fatality rate of 25 fatal accidents per 105 workers in RFs. Total 9511 non-fatal accidents found with an accident rate of 271 nonfatal accidents per 105 which was high (567 non-fatal accidents per 105) from 1993 to 1996. Occupational accidents Ur (77%) estimated three times higher than reported occupational accidents (23%) in RFs with their continuous increasing trend. This study concludes the weak organizational safety culture in Pakistan. Enforcement at governmental level for safety reporting and labor laws reforms required to reduce the Ur of occupational accidents in the factories of Pakistan.

巴基斯坦工厂职业事故趋势及漏报估计1993 - 2009

本研究旨在调查1993-2009年巴基斯坦职业事故趋势及其漏报估计。采用事故率和指数值分析法，以1993年为基准，比较职业事故的变化情况。未呈报工厂少报的职业意外(Ur)，计算方法是考虑未呈报工厂的事故比率与未呈报工厂呈报的职业意外数目相等。农村地区共调查了10330起职业事故。共发现819起致命事故，平均死亡率为每105名工人25起致命事故。从1993年至1996年，共发现9511起非致命事故，事故率为每105起非致命事故271起，这一比率很高(每105起非致命事故567起)。RFs的职业事故(77%)估计比报告的职业事故(23%)高出三倍，并呈持续上升趋势。本研究总结了巴基斯坦组织安全文化薄弱的问题。在政府一级执行安全报告和劳动法改革，以减少巴基斯坦工厂的职业事故发生率。
