.../tagout as the centerpiece of risk control practices in electrical work. It further discusses the application of advanced technologies to enhance the quality of hazard recognition. _ Electrical construction is identified as a high-risk trade, and electricians accounted for about 8% of all fatalities...

...Tsvetan Popov; Bruce K. Lyon; Georgi Popov Key Takeaways - Serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) continue to occur despite efforts to reduce overall incident rates. - SIFs such as combustible dust explosions are often caused by events that are considered to have a low likelihood of occurrence...

.... Parametric and nonparametric statistical analysis revealed that no discernable association exists between TRIR and fatalities. This analysis also found that the occurrence of recordable injuries is almost entirely random. Further, it found that TRIR is not precise and should not be communicated to multiple...

... coefficient-of-friction values. This type of information may be available from the suppliers of underlayment materials that are used on steep-sloped roofs. Workers falling from elevated work sites is the primary cause of fatalities in the U.S. construction industry. A compilation of data for the years 2014...

...Carsten Busch; Cary Usrey; James Loud; Nick Goodell; Rosa Antonia Carrillo Key Takeaways OSH professionals are not taking full advantage of safety data to help prevent serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). We have over-focused on accumulating common behavior and incident data that are rarely...

... to integrate WSDs into construction operations. This study investigates the impact of WSDs as a control measure by showing how WSD features could have prevented fatalities using archival data. The study also investigates the perception of top management toward the use of WSDs. The information provided...

...Bruce K. Lyon; David L. Walline; Georgi Popov KEY TAKEAWAYS Studies indicate that gaps found in design are significant contributors to workplace serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs), which points to the need for prevention through design (PTD) concepts. The greatest opportunity to avoid...

...Gavin F. Burdge; Miaozong Wu; Kile Veal Key Takeaways A comparison of OSHA and BLS data about workplace fatalities that occurred from 2014 to 2017 shows that only one-fourth of BLS-reported workplace fatalities have been investigated by OSHA, although OSHA requires employers to report worker...

The authors determine that Heinrich's theory has merit in contemporary safety management through an analysis of recordable, restricted work, lost-time and fatality data at the national and industry sector levels. The authors determine that instead of a singular...

...Joshua H. Williams; Steve Roberts Key Takeaways Although perceived as competing methods, both behavior-based safety (BBS) and human and organizational performance (HOP) encourage safe work practices and safety system improvements to prevent injuries and fatalities. Some proponents of HOP claim...

...Fred A. Manuele Key Takeaways Data plainly indicate that the number of workplace fatalities and fatality rates have decreased significantly. But, statistics on fatalities for the past several years are in a narrow range. While serious injuries have also been reduced, they have become a larger...

.... As production mounts and traffic increases, truck congestion at service facilities causes delays, impacting worker safety (Chakraborty, Kumar & Malguri, 2016). Several potentially deadly hazards such as falls exist in such operations. But a largely unrecognized and often fatal hazard is confined spaces...
