Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the ..session of the Legislature of the State of California . erage cost per case reported of twenty dollars and twenty-fivecents ($). Causes of Temporary Injuries. Perhaps enough has been said about causes of accidents to convey tothe reader the general impressions of those who have, perhaps unscien-tifically, attempted to tabulate physiological hazards. Conclusions arenot commands, and the figures and charts are ample evidence of theproblem. Attention, however, should be called to the very interesting chartswhich, in a general way, indicate the severity of the temporary injurias,showing the number resulting from any chief cause. Falls, in particular, afford a very striking example of this. Thenumber of falls is all out of proportion with the accidents resultingfrom the other causes. The charts marked 1, 2, 3, and 4 are to be readtogether, as it is possible to read the results of any group of accidentsin any main industry or cause by time lost, amounts paid in compen-sation and medical benefits. REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT COMMISSION. 97. 7—20453 98 REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT COMMISSION. Industries Where Temporary Injuries Occur. The factors of industry and cause remain constant, and the height ofthe columns is determined by the third factor, either time lost in days,number of accidents, compensation in dollars, or medical industry or branch of industry is exempt from accidental injury toits employees. In point of numbers of accidents the industries stand inorder thus: (1) Manufacturing. (2) Transportation. (3) Construction. (4) Mining, quarrying, etc. (5) Mercantile trades. (6) Service—General. (7) Agriculture. The responsibility for accidents in each of these groups is not deter-mined by the number of the accidents alone. Any accurate determina-tion of such a result must be made from data of the number of menexposed in each industry group, together with the severity of the injury
