Abstract
The primary purpose of this research was to determine whether the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations influence worker accidents at the gold mining company Retamas S.A. during the period from 2018 to 2022. Methodologically, this study is non-experimental, applied research with an explanatory level and longitudinal design. The population consisted of 4,829 workers with a non-probabilistic sample, incorporating the entire workforce of the mining company. Data collection was documented for the period from January 2018 to December 2022 using a flash report documentation technique. The statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 was used at a 95% confidence level, with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test conducted to assess normality. The results showed the highest number of minor accidents occurred in 2019 (165 cases), followed by 2018 (158 cases), and 2021 (153 cases), while fewer accidents were reported in 2020 (129 cases) and 2022 (109 cases) (p<0.05). For disabling accidents, the highest occurrences were in 2018 and 2019 (both 101 cases), and 2021 (93 cases), with fewer cases in 2020 (55 cases) and 2022 (50 cases) (p<0.05). Fatal accidents were as follows: 2018 (2 cases), 2022 (1 case), 2021 (1 case), 2019 (1 case), and 2020 (0 cases), with no significant statistical differences. It is concluded that the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations do not significantly reduce or prevent accidents at the mining company
