The second chart illustrates (also for France in 2009) the percentage of injury that occurs to the hands and fingers in the workplace - relative to other body parts. When looking at the percentages, it is important to consider that not all injuries are preventable through the use of PPE, such as back injuries. Hand and finger cut injuries, however, are the most preventable. Every company can insure itself against work accidents but every accident will increase the insurance premium. Apart from the insurance cost, every accident will result into uninsured costs to the company like lost time, sick pay, repairs, loss of contracts, loss of business reputation and negative effects. These uninsured costs might rise up to 36 times the insurance premium. Source: EU-OSHA Did you know? Eurostat reported that 7 million workers (3,2 %) in Europe experienced a work accident in 2009.

Moreover, further to TNO 10,4 % and further to Assurances Maladie 15,3 % of all work accidents are cuts.
