To begin a zero accident campaign for industry, the first thing is to estimate the industrial accident rate and the zero accident time systematically. This paper considers the social and technical change of the business environment after beginning the zero accident campaign through quantitative time series analysis methods. These methods include sum of squared errors (SSE), regression analysis ...

This study applied logistic regression to accident-related data collected from traffic-police records in order to examine the contributing factors to accident severity. A total of 560 subjects involved in severe accidents was sampled. The accident severity (dependent variable) in this study is a dichotomous variable with two categories, Fatal or Injury. Therefore, each of the subjects sampled i...

background: there is a high prevalence of  occupational injuries due to accidents in construction industries which affect human health. therefore, the exploration and analysis of contributing factors of such accidents can lead to their prevention and the reduction of their consequences. this study was conducted with the aim to identify factors related to occupational injuries and the severity o...

A new approach to investigating accidents has been developed and tested. In any such investigation, barriers and safety functions related to an accident or near-accident are identified and classified. The method is described, and a case study of an incident at an electricity distribution company is used to illustrate the type of results obtained. One finding was that a large number of safety fu...

background: gastric cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer. as conflicting studies have recently been published, we aimed to evaluate the magnitude of the epidemiological evidence for an association between alcohol consumption and gastric cancer. methods: this study is a meta-analysis of case-control studies which have been performed during 1989 to 2007. we systematically r...
