Abstract

Background & Aims: ABSENTEEISM is defined as being absent for any reason. There are two types of ABSENTEEISM, each of which requires a different type of approach: authorized sick absence and unauthorized sick absence. Authorized sick absence refers to employees who are absent for reasons beyond their control; like sickness and injury. Sick absence may be a symptom of a broader health problem in the workplaces, an early warning sign of inadequate occupational health. This study is designed to assessing occupational health picture of a national INDUSTRY COMPANY in accordance with main sick absence measures. Materials & Methods: This cross sectional research performed on 20 workplaces of a national INDUSTRY COMPANY that have been employing almost 2600 people and, main measures of sick absence such as GAR, SAR, UAR, AFR, SR and DR were calculated. Results: The survey found that the GAR was 88%, SAR 35% and UAR 52%. The other measures including SR, DR and AFR were 4.4 per day, 0.78 per day and 0.69 people per day. Short spell duration of sick absence (1 to 3 days) was the most frequent in the subjects (61%). The long-term spell duration (8 – 14 days) was calculated 21%. Short spell duration of sick absence was the highest in the lesser than 20 old-years and median spell duration (4 - 7 days) was frequently more than others in the range of 40-49 old-years. The most frequent of long-term absence (8-14 days) was found in the range of more than 50 old-years. Discussion: The causes of ABSENTEEISM were abundant and include: serious accidents and illness, poor working conditions, lack of job satisfaction, boredom on the job, inadequate leadership and poor supervision, personal problems (financial, marital, etc.), poor physical fitness, inadequate health surveillances, transportation problems, stress and workload. The needs of the organization and its staff could be met through a structure on integrated support services that would increase both productivity and health promotion and could produce benefits of safety and occupational health care legislation.
