- Abstract: The study delves into 425 industrial incidents documented on Kaggle [1], all of which occurred in 12 separate plants in the South American region. By meticulously examining this extensive dataset, we aim to uncover valuable insights into the occurrence of accidents, identify recurring trends, and illuminate underlying causes. The implications of this analysis extend beyond mere statistical observation, offering organizations an opportunity to enhance safety and health management practices. Our findings underscore the importance of addressing specific areas for improvement, empowering organizations to fortify safety measures, mitigate risks, and cultivate a secure working environment. We advocate for strategically applying statistical analysis and data visualization techniques to leverage this wealth of information effectively. This approach facilitates the extraction of meaningful insights and empowers decision-makers to implement targeted improvements, fostering a preventive mindset, and promoting a safety culture within organizations. This research is a crucial resource for organizations committed to transforming data into actionable strategies for accident prevention and creating a safer workplace.
