Critical Analysis of Biorhythms and Their Effect on Industrial Accidents in Agra Casting Manufacturing Units

Biorhythm critical days have been suggested as a possible cause of industrial accident. Biorhythm theory postulates that variations in human abilities are governed by three consistently recurring cycles of 23, 28, and 33 days length. The study assessed the validity of biorhythm by analyzing 462 industrial related accidents in Agra casting manufacturing units in the last 5 years. A variety of biorhythm critical day definitions and accident types were analyzed. Significant results were obtained, also statistical Chi-square analysis of the data found significant influence on the computed physical, emotional, and intellectual cycles. It concluded that biorhythm theory has a strong basis to justify its application to strenuous work in casting manufacturing units and acts as an information system in predicting the accident occurrence.
