Segmentation of economic activities of the manufacturing sector according to its rate of labor incident occurrence, through the creation of a cluster, by applying a multivariate analysis

Abstract

In this article the results of the indicators of incident occurrence in the workplace are analyzed by studying the behavior of the work-related accident and occupational disease rates of the different activities that constitute the manufacturing economic sector in Colombia. Groups were established by the application of multivariate analysis method, specifically: cluster analysis to identify clusters, and discriminant analysis to determine the cluster with the highest incidence rate, where variables accident rate and occupational disease rate were analyzed. The results obtained will allow us to predict labor incident occurrence in the manufacturing sector, according to its economic activity in relation to the identified clusters.
