Notes:
Summary A one-year case-control study was performed by occupational physicians in 328 injured people and 662 controls in order to investigate a possible relationship between the consumption of benzodiazepines and the occurrence of industrial injuries. Benzodiazepine consumption was found to be related to sex (females) and age but not to a higher frequency of industrial injuries. It is suggested that knowledge of being at risk might be a factor reducing the consumption of benzodiazepines.
