Abstract

Underlying causes or latent errors behind accidents affecting olive harvesting laborers are analyzed in the present paper. The different causes, extract from the discourse of participants
(laborers, trade unionists, supervisors, landowners, employers, health and safety technicians) in six focus groups, are classified into individual, group, organizational and supra-organizational
factors. The multidimensionality of the problem studied suggests the need of a coordinated effort held by all social agents in order to effectively improve health and safety conditions when carrying out olive harvesting tasks.
