Die Analyse der Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsrisikobewertung in der verarbeitenden Industrie zeigt, dass Unternehmen verstärkt Maßnahmen zur Verringerung von Arbeitsunfällen mit Ausfallzeiten ergreifen. Durch eine Fallstudie, die verschiedene Datenerhebungsmethoden wie Fragebögen und Interviews einsetzt, wurden 72 Befragte untersucht. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass die Industrie verschiedene Strategien wie Gefahrenermittlung, Risikobewertung und Arbeitsplatzbeobachtung anwendet, um Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsrisiken zu kontrollieren und somit die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu steigern.
