An analysis of accident records provides a usef~l means for identifying patterns in the incidence of aCCIdents in large populations. Supplemented by the examination and evaluation of isolated variables likely to be related to accidents, it has also been used in studies of accidents in smaller groups of industrial employees. Thus studies on accidents in relation to. the influence of fatigue, ill...

In July 1976, an industrial accident contaminated a residential area surrounding Seveso, Italy, with high levels of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The exposure was acute, relatively pure, and affected more than 45,000 men, women, and children. By February 1978, 193 chloracne cases, mostly children, had been identified in the exposed population. 5 Twenty years after, we conducted a ...

Industrial forecasting is a top-echelon research domain, which has over the past several years experienced highly provocative research discussions. The scope of this research domain continues to expand due to the continuous knowledge ignition motivated by scholars in the area. So, more intelligent and intellectual contributions on current research issues in the accident domain will potentially ...

A 58 year old man was admitted to the accident and emergency department following an industrial accident in which he sustained a three part fracture dislocation of his right humerus. Chest radiography revealed a large mass in the right upper hemithorax and, when the patient became hypotensive, an emergency thoracotomy was performed. The mass was found to be a massive intrathoracic lipoma. This ...

The security accident is increasing in industrial infrastructure. The security of industrial control system is caused not only by deliberate acts of external attacker but also by sometimes inadvertent threats of legitimate inner operator. The latter can ultimately have more devastating consequences. Industrial control system works deterministic and restrictive operation. The anomaly communicati...

This paper assesses whether there is a systematic di¤erence between the accident rates of ...xed-term and permanent contract workers that is not just the result of a compositional e¤ect. A pure contractual e¤ect leading to a higher accident rate might exist because the short duration of the temporary contract reduces the incentives to invest in speci...c human capital or because e¤ort is higher...

This study investigated workers' perceptions of workplace safety in an African work environment, specifically in Ghanaian work places. Workers' safety perceptions were examined with Hayes et al.'s. (1998) Work Safety Scale. Comparative analyses were done between high- and low-accident groups, and t tests were employed to test for differences of statistical significance. Relative to their collea...
