Abstract To reduce the hazards of collapse accidents in construction process and to ensure that lives, health, property workers are protected, this study used theory safety system engineering identify accidents, analyze hazards, predict consequences, evaluate systemic risks, effects improve them. At same time, risk factors were evaluated qualitatively quantitatively by using analysis methods fa...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the relation between out of hours activity of general practice and accident and emergency services with deprivation and distance from accident and emergency department. DESIGN Six month longitudinal study. SETTING Six general practices and the sole accident and emergency department in Nottingham. SUBJECTS 4745 out of hours contacts generated by 45,182 patients fr...

Accident prediction models (APMs) have been extensively used in site ranking with the objective of identifying accident hotspots. Previously this has been achieved by using a univariate count data or a multivariate count data model (e.g. multivariate Poisson-lognormal) for modelling the number of accidents at different severity levels simultaneously. This paper proposes an alternative method to...

The aim of this paper is to suggest a quick and easy method for the collection of knowledge about human error in the maritime work domain using accident reports as empirical material. The method has three steps: 1. Text analysis 2. Accident analysis 3. Human error analysis Step 2 and 3 are based on very well known methods, techniques and taxonomies already included in the ongoing discussion abo...

This study aims to identify influencing factors of traffic accidents in Japanese major road through factor analysis and regression analysis for each accident type, considering their characteristics of rare event. The database consists of 5-year accident record and relevant road traffic condition data in major road sections in Aichi Prefecture which includes the third largest conurbation area of...

This paper describes development and application of a road accident analysis and visualization package Road Accident View (RAV), which integrated Microcomputer Accident Analysis Package (MAAP) and Geographical Information System (GIS) components. GIS offer an advanced engine to drive, both area-wide and location-oriented investigations. With this system the possibility to raise and solve accide...
