LESION TYPES AND THEIR PRODUCTION MECHANISMS IN VICTIMS OF WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS
Abstract:
The aim of the present research is to reveal the type of lesions and their mechanism, as well as
their localization in the case of surviving victims and of deceased victims in workplace accidents. As a
phenomenon, occupational accidents are the subject of concentrated and profound research of several
scientific disciplines. Both, work accidents and death at the workplace have an enormous social impact,
and also a great effect on the health status of each individual. The work presents work accidents in a
longitudinal retrospective study performed on 917 cases of surviving victims and other 89 not surviving
victims. The cases were identified in the registers of the Service of Forensic Medicine and in the TLI
(Territorial Labor Inspectorate) Sibiu archives during the period 2005-2013. Bone fracture was the most
frequent lesion (40.79 %) in surviving victims of work accidents. The lesions were mostly located at the
level of upper limbs (31.30%), lower limbs (24.65%), head (18.32%) and multiple associated lesions
(multiple trauma)(11.34%)
