Bakers and confectioners, although less affected, were still affected, with a rate of 5.3.<\/p>\n<p>Afa F\u00f6rs\u00e4kring&#8217;s statistical report, which is based on almost 1,100 serious occupational injuries and just over 2,800 long-term illnesses recorded during the years 2017-2021, reveals the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25% of serious occupational injuries are attributable to the use of machinery (cutting saw or moving component of packaging equipment, conveyor belt in the production line, etc.),<\/li>\n<li>Musculoskeletal disorders are the main reason for sickness absence,<\/li>\n<li>Mental health diagnoses were the most frequent cause of long-term sick leave among bakers and confectioners,<\/li>\n<li>Serious accidents predominantly affect men, while women are more likely to be absent due to long-term illness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Injuries to fingers, hands, wrists and arms are most common among both men and women. Cutting yourself with a knife is the second most common cause of serious accident among men, particularly butchers, and falls from a height are the most common among women.<\/p>\n<p>The statistics provide an important basis for deciding on research projects on the working environment and health funded by Afa F\u00f6rs\u00e4kring, explains Emil Askestad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afaforsakring.se\/ohalsa-och-arbetsskador\/analys-och-statistik\/kortrapport-statistik-livsmedelsarbetare-arbetsolycksfall-sjukfranvaro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">To find out more<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workers in the food industry run a higher risk of serious accidents at work than other occupational groups.
