Abstract(s)

The welfare and safety of the employees of an enterprise is a great concern and priority in a responsible and successful organization. The identification of patterns of work-related accidents is important to reduce and prevent further mishaps and injuries. To improve the safety of the work environment, accidents related data must be analyzed to identify the possible risk factors and their effects on the type of accident and its level of severity. Thus, data related to workplace accidents in fishmonger stores were collected from a Portuguese retail company where it was analyzed with statistical, clustering, and classification techniques to identify potential underlying correlation and patterns between the data, and in this way, collecting important information to prevent future accident or lesions.
