摘要：
The absenteeism related to health and safety at work is a serious issue in the manufacturing process, and some industries can be dangerous work fields with a high level of accidents. It is important to understand what causes the accident and, if possible, apply standard procedures to minimize the risk of accidents and subsequent absenteeism. This study aims to assess the impact of the implementation of occupational health and safety procedures on company absenteeism. In the company where the study took place, most work accidents and absenteeism happened in the production area, with workers who directly handle raw materials and machines. As a result, an HSE manager was hired in order to reduce accidents by putting in place several hygiene and security measures and procedures. The results of these measures as well as absenteeism data were studied and conclusions regarding company performance were drawn.
