Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to analyze industrial accident compensation insurance coverage and industrial accidents among concrete mixer truck drivers.
Methods:Original data on industrial accidents from 2012 to 2017 were analyzed through descriptive statistics.
Results:Industrial accident compensation insurance coverage was 44.6% in 2017. Most concrete mixer truck drivers were affiliated with small businesses. A total of 61 industrial accidents occurred in 2012, 65 in 2014, and 80 in 2017. The major types of industrial accident were falls, slips, and crushes.
Conclusion:Because concrete mixer truck drivers are at high risk for industrial accidents, industrial accident compensation insurance coverage and industrial accident prevention should be strongly enforced.
