Propuesta de un modelo para explicar y minimizar el coste humano y económico de la siniestralidad laboral

Abstract

Studies that have historically been deve/oped in re/ation to the costs of occupationa/ accidents have been mainly Iimited to the quantitative assessment of the /osses, without ana/ysing this information in order to contribute to the design ofprevention of occupational hazards. In this paper a graph-theoretical model is presented to exp/ain the costs ofaccidents in the contexts ofboth business and the state in order to optimize the management ofthe resources used in the prevention of accidents and to minimize the human and economic costs. The imp/ementation of various policies for the prevention of occupationa/ hazards in the dynamic model provides a theoretical prediction of its impact in terms of costs and accident rates, so it can therefore be considered a tool for defining the strategies in this field The conc/usions drawn from the test based on the theoretica/ mode/ contrasts significant/y with some of the axioms presented by the traditiona/ paradigm that exists in the fie/d of prevention of occupationa/ risks and costs of workp/ace accidents.
