Abstract

Biorhythm critical days have been suggested as a possible cause of industrial accidents by a number of authors, although the empirical evidence is confusing. This study examined all industry-related accidents in a large Australian timber milling organization over a 15-month period to see if the implied relationships existed. A variety of biorhythm critical day definitions and accident types were analyzed, but no significant results were obtained, suggesting that the proposed theory did not hold in this case.
