TABLE 3.-INCREASE IN THE GENERAL ACCIDENT RATE: NUMBER OF PERSONS
KILLED OR INJURED PER 1,000 FULL-TIME WORKERS, 1897 TO 1907, BY INDUSTRY
GROUPS-Concluded.

The month of the year in which the accident occurred is shown in Table 4.

The grand total for all insured establishments in 1907 indicates that the accidents are distributed with a fair degree of uniformity throughout the year; the highest proportion in any one month was that for October, when it was 9.39 per cent of all the accidents occurring in the year, while the month of August, with 8.87 per cent, came second. The month of February having but 28 days naturally had the smallest proportion, with 7.22 per cent of the total number of accidents; in some of the industry groups the distribution of the accidents reflects the seasonal character of the industries; thus in the industry of inland navigation, the association for inland navigation of West Germany (association 60) fluctuates between 5.07 per cent in January and 11.96 per cent in September; in the building trades the Hamburg Building Trades Association (association 43) fluctuates between 4.95 per cent in January and 11.08 per cent in May. Some of the industries in which such fluctuations would not ordinarily be expected show also a wide difference in the proportion of accidents occurring in the different months during the year; thus the fine mechanical products association (association 3) had only 6.62 per cent of its accidents in the month of May, while 9.79 per cent occurred in the month of January.
