Qualitative and quantitative overview of victims of work accidents in the province of Kenitra, Morocco

ABSTRACT

In this work we have contributed to the static assessment of the incidence of Kenitra accidents (Morocco), their causes and their consequences, basing on the reported Victims’s data of the Employment Delegation of the City of Kenitra (Morocco) during the period 2011-2015. The results show that the frequency of accidents varies according to the years and the years 2011 and 2015 have the highest number of accidents at work. In contrast, the minimum number of accidents was recorded during the 2001-2005 period. Similarly, this frequency varies according to the months. There is no relationship between the importance of the risk and the sex of the worker. However, the number of victims and the consequences of accidents at work vary from one sector to another. The sectors of activity "Industry" and "Building and Public Works" are high-risk sectors. The climatic conditions of the worker and the many stressors prevailing in these sectors can be the causes.

Key words – Workplace accidents, Accident frequency, Accidents consequences, Morocco- Kenitra
