Construction industry involves the highest risk of occupational accidents and bodily injuries, which range from mild to very severe. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify the factors associated with accident severity rate (ASR) in the largest Iranian construction companies based on data about 500 occupational accidents recorded from 2009 to 2013. We also gathered data on safety ...

The production process for making sauces requires a performance appraisal so that the results are effective and efficient. In production, problems sometimes occur, such as low productivity accidents. relationship between employee performance, work safety greatly affects productivity. purpose of this study was to analyze K3 which includes Frequency Rate (FR), Severity (SR), T-Safety Value (NTS) ...

The severity of injuries from home accidents was assessed in 402 children under the age of 5 treated in the accident department of an inner London hospital. Our child injury severity scale comprises three grades of severity for six types of injury. There was moderate agreement between the observer and an assessor in categorising the cases. Burns and scalds and poisoning caused more severe injur...

Background: Road crash injury is largely preventable and predictable; it is a human-made problem amenable to rational analysis and countermeasures. All the studies on Road Traffic accidents either use number of accidents or victims according to availability of accident data. Studies combining these two types of data to identify hazardous locations are a rarity. In this study data on both, the n...

The severity of the incidents of recreational boats in Spain during 2011 is analyzed in terms of the region in which the crafts were registered. The data was obtained and coded from the damage reports of one of the main Spanish marine surveyors, source that has been used for the first time to our knowledge in the academic literature. About 1400 incidents are statistically compared in terms of l...

Engineers and researchers in the automobile industry have tried to design and build safer automobiles, but traffic accidents are unavoidable. Patterns involved in dangerous crashes could be detected if we develop a prediction model that automatically classifies the type of injury severity of various traffic accidents. These behavioral and roadway patterns are useful in the development of traffi...

Flight training accidents constitute 14% of general aviation accidents. Herein we determined the rates, injury severity, and phase of flight for primary student solo accidents/incidents (mishaps) in Cessna 172 aircraft. Mishaps over the period spanning 1994–2013 were identified from the NTSB database. Student population data were from the FAA. Statistics employed proportion tests, Poisson distr...

OBJECTIVE To compare the characteristics of motorcycle accidents and victims attended by pre-hospital care services. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out using data on pre-hospital care of motorcyclists who had been injured in traffic accidents in Londrina, PR, Southeastern Brazil, in 2010, whose results were compared with those of a similar study conducted in 1998. Paramedic assis...

There is little knowledge available regarding Australian forestry work safety and accident rates. Machine operators and forestry workers are vital parts of the forestry sector and their health and well-being can greatly impact on their work quality and efficiency. To increase our knowledge of forest workers’ safety this project aimed to analyse the frequency, type and root causes of work accide...
