DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLE AND THE INCIDENTS OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURY
ABSTRACT
The study sought to assess demographic variables and the incidence of occupational injury. The study observed that "occupation" is a general term that refers to the field or industry you are a part of or the work you are interested in. It can also refer to your role within an organization. Stating your occupation in an interview holds implications for you, your job, your profession, and your career in a single answer. Many occupations are hazardous and have rendered many workers useless and sent to their graves earlier than expected. These occupational injuries have cut across workers of various age ranges, irrespective of gender, educational status, occupation, work location, and many more. It is on this ground that this study was carried out to assess the demographic variables and the incidents of occupational injury. The researchers concluded in this study that occupational injury is associated with older age. This discrepancy could be due to older workers' being more likely to report injuries for compensation purposes, even after the same scenario. The relationship between age and injury at work probably varies depending upon occupational conditions. Thus, older workers may find themselves in a difficult financial situation when deciding whether to remain in the workforce. One of the recommendations made in this study was that, as far as the specific area of safety educational training is concerned, it is very imperative to give continuous education to older workers on how to cope with risk factors escalating occupational injury for safety purposes.
