[Read before the Royal Statistical Society, April 26, 1927, Sir BERNARD MALLET, K.C.B., Honorary Vice-President, in the Chair.] IN the study of accident prevention, attention has of late years been directed increasingly towards the personal factor. It is repeatedly pointed out in the Annual Reports of the Chief Inspector of Factories that the great bulk of accidents are not caused by machinery, and that only a relatively small proportion can be prevented by mechanical safeguards. A great deal of work has been done by various investigators on this side of accident causation. * The particular question of differing individual liability was first treated statistically by Dr. Greenwood and Miss Woode.] During the war they were able to get some interesting figures relating to small accidents to women in munition factories, which suggested tee existence of a certain amount of measurable tendency for such accidents to fall unevenly on the population at risk. In 1920 a joint paper by Dr. Greenwood and Mr. Yule) on the theoretical side of the distributions of repeated events of this kind, was pub­ lished in
