Circadian Cycles and Their Influence on the Occurrence of Accidents in Organizations from the East of the Estado de México
Abstract
Industrial or transformation organizations aspire to hire workers to carry out activities in the production processes under optimal conditions. However, different contexts can change conditions and affect their biorhythmic status. When these factors are altered, the occurrence of an accident at work occurs. The aim of this work is to investigate the existence of a relationship between circadian cycles with the incidence of accidents at work in the production systems of industrial or transformation entities. In this longitudinal study, the databases provided by the sub-delegation of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) of the eastern part of the Estado de México for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 were used.. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics of variables were applied, in order to know the behavior of the variables in the sample. The results suggest that the circadian cycles made up of the physical, emotional and intellectual state significantly influence the occurrence of workplace accidents within the company. The foregoing allows us to infer that knowing the biorhythmic state is relevant because, mainly, it allows locating and relocating workers in periods exposed to risks and, secondly, avoiding the increase in the insurance of the occupational risk premium.
