Roles of age, length of service and job in work-related injury: a prospective study of 446 120 person-years in railway workers

Abstract

Younger and older ages and shorter length of service are at risk for various types of injuries. Preventive measures should improve working conditions, especially for younger/older ages, provide knowledge through specific training during the first years in a job and help workers to be more aware of risks associated with their age, years of employment and job.
