abstract="This study is based on an analysis of routine National Insurance Institute data recorded mainly during 1970-1980. Time trends in accident statistics were ascertained via the application of a linear regression model. There was an obvious decrease in occupational accident incidence and a smaller drop in severity both for accidents occurring at work and during commuting. Manufacturing industries accounted for most of the decrease, followed by transport and communication, and services. Males younger than 25 and females aged 35-44 years showed the most extensive decrement in accident incidence.The linear regression procedure is a useful tool for the assessment and comparison of accident statistic trends over a relatively short period of time.<p />",
