The other reason for missing work is an on the job injury. These include accidental falls and transport accidents but most often are the after effect of accidents that hits the victim some time after:

Jerome Palma, Deputy CEO- SSB
"We asked ourselves, well what's driving employment injury, and we noticed the drivers accidents, late efforts, which essentially means that people get injured and they don't recognize it immediately. And we see a lot of time. You see it takes time, it becomes prolonged. Accidental falls at work, transportation accidents, just moving to get to work, and those are safety things. These are enforcing, again, the national dialogue. There has to be improvement with respect to those."
