The aim of the study is to conduct a structural analysis of the causes of accidents at work in the metallurgical industry using a multifactorial approach. The study is quantitative and based on the analysis of statistical data on accidents in companies engaged in the production of metals and metal products. The research procedure focuses on the identification and comparative assessment of the contribution of human, organisational and technical factors to the total number of accidents. The analysis uses a structured classification of causes and comparative methods to determine their structure and mutual proportions in the studied sector. The results obtained confirm the multifactorial nature of occupational accidents, indicating at the same time a clear dominance of determinants related to the human factor. Organisational and technical factors, despite their significant importance, show a smaller share in the overall structure of events. The results of the study emphasize the need to implement preventive measures including both the improvement of technical and organizational solutions, as well as targeted behavioral interventions to strengthen the culture of occupational safety in the environment in the metallurgical industry.
