The study reviews the current state of research on industrial injuries, particularly within sectors like energy, agriculture, and road transport. The analysis emphasizes the need to better characterize the causes of accidents and dangerous events. Various methods for classifying harmful and dangerous production factors are highlighted, alongside inconsistencies found in regulatory legal acts. A classification of dangerous events, which includes 24 categories, is also provided. The analysis reveals that the most prevalent and dangerous events between 2017 and 2021 were as follows: 1. employee falls (747-1095 incidents); 2. falling objects and materials on victims (418-593 incidents); 3. vehicle-related accidents (293-482 incidents); 4. falls from height (319-413 incidents); 5. incidents involving moving objects and parts. Other events with a significant number of fatal consequences included electric shocks (27 deaths in 2018 and 24 in 2022), as well as fatalities from fires (4 and 12 people respectively), health deterioration (14 and 13), explosions (3 and 11), and exposure to harmful and toxic substances (8 and 6). The financial impact of accidents on enterprises was also examined, showing costs ranging from 566,600.27 thousand UAH in 2019 to 212,376.35 thousand UAH in 2021. There was an increase in compensation claims, as indicated by certificates of incapacity, rising from 94,293.02 thousand UAH to 190,059.51 thousand UAH during the analyzed years. Significant expenses were incurred for equipment, tools, and the destruction of buildings and structures due to accidents, while fines imposed on officials for violating labor safety legislation were relatively minor. In 2022, the highest number of fatalities occurred during public life events, such as war, terrorist acts, and blockades, resulting in 156 deaths. Key regulatory legal acts (including rules, regulations, norms, orders, standards, and instructions) have been identified, compliance with which can help mitigate the impact of dangerous and harmful production factors on employees. Future research should focus on analyzing the patterns and circumstances surrounding the occurrence of dangerous events to develop measures to decrease their frequency.
