heal.abstract	This paper presents a multifactorial analysis of all reported incidents in the Greek Petrochemical Industry from 1997 to 2003. A comprehensive database has been developed to include industrial accidents (fires, explosions and substance releases), occupational accidents, near misses and incidents without significant consequences. The analysis concentrates on identifying those factors related to different consequences of incidents, in particular, injury, absence from work and material damage. Methods of analysis include logistic regression with one of these consequences as dependent variable. The explanatory factors that are considered cover organizational issues, equipment failures, human errors (of commission or omission) and external causes. Further analyses aim to confirm the value of recording near misses by verifying that they share common factors with more serious incidents. The statistical analysis of all these parameters leads also to the highlighting of the connection between the human factor and the underlying causes of accidents or incidents. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group.	en
