In opinion of deputy head of labor inspection supervision service Rane Raisberg, about half of industrial accidents in Estonia are ignored. If the annual quantity of the registered industrial accidents remains within the limits of 3000-4000, then the real figures are 8000, Raisberg considers, adding, that the specified figure has been counted up together with Hospital
cash department. It is easy to hide accident: just agree with the worker that he will say to
the doctor that he has got hurt at home. The reason is prosy – the registration and investigation of the accident demands time. Companies also are afraid of visits of the labor inspector if registering the accident. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say, at what enterprises most all accidents happen as labor inspection does not publish lists.
