NINO-ESPEJO, Fredy E y IDROVO, Alvaro J. Lesiones ocupacionales y el “síndrome del estudiante” (o procrastinación) en un gran proyecto de construcción. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2019, vol.51, n.4, pp.329-332. Epub 26-Sep-2019. ISSN 0121-0807. https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v51n4-2019006.
Introduction:
There is a higher occurrence of injuries on the first working days of the week, and between 13:00 and 17:00 hours. An association between some special dates and changes in the occurrence of deaths or diseases have been described in different countries and regions. Our hypothesis was that completing contractual obligations with a company may become triggers that increase the occurrence of occupational injuries.
Methods:
Injury records were analyzed and consolidated monthly payroll reports (from January 2012 to September 2013) for personnel operations who worked in companies that were involved in a megaproject to build a road in Colombia. This analysis reports a possible association between dates of financially important contractual milestones and a higher occurrence of occupational injuries. One-tailed binomial tests were used to compare the occurrence of injuries one and two months before and one month after four deadlines, corresponding to 14, 3, 1 and 1% of the overall budget, respectively.
Results:
The highest occurrence of injuries was observed during the month before the deadline corresponding to 14% of the budget (p=0.07).
Discussion:
Contractual milestones could act as distal determinant whereas human errors are proximal determinants of injuries.
