Este trabalho propõe e testa uma metodologia participativa para classificação das causas de acidentes de trabalho. A dissertação aborda o assunto inicialmente revisando a evolução do cenário acidentário no país, desde a fase em que o Brasil era o “campeão mundial de acidentes” até o atual momento, para contextualizar a necessidade de atualização dos conhecimentos sobre as causas de acidentes. No referencial teórico estão compiladas as conceituações dos diversos tipos de causas de acidentes atualmente aceitas, resultando na elaboração de um diagrama com essas causas, organizadas de acordo com sua origem. Neste diagrama, as causas que são gerenciadas pelo empregado são agrupadas como Causas Comportamentais. Já aquelas causas que embora por vezes, tenham como último agente o empregado, são ou deveriam ser gerenciadas pela organização são agrupadas entre as Causas Organizacionais. Na discussão das causas comportamentais são destacadas as diferenças entre os erros de empregados treinados e experientes, chamados de Ações Não Intencionais, e os erros cometidos por pessoas sem conhecimento ou experiência. Na classificação são enfatizadas as diferenças entre as Violações cometidas com intenção de ganho de tempo próprio e redução de esforço e as Violações estimuladas pela organização. Na sequência, é feita a apresentação da metodologia para pesquisa e classificação de causas de acidentes e os resultados de sua aplicação em uma amostra de acidentes ocorridos em período recente em uma empresa do sul do país. O resultado da pesquisa demonstra que quantitativamente predominaram acidentes cuja causa principal é gerenciada pela empresa sobre aqueles cuja causa principal é gerenciada pelos próprios acidentados. Foi também identificado que as Ações Não Intencionais são a principal causa de acidentes dentro do grupo de Causas Comportamentais e que estas constituem o segundo tipo mais frequente entre todas as causas de acidentes de trabalho, prevalecendo sobre as violações e, por isso, merecendo estudos com vistas ao seu controle. Esta metodologia poderá ser aplicado como ferramenta adicional de gestão do processo de prevenção de acidentes.
This study proposes and tests an interactive methodology for the classification of work accidents’ causes. The dissertation approaches the subject, initially, reviewing the evolution of the accidents’ scenario in Brazil, from the time that the country was the “world champion” of accidents to the present, to define the context for the need of updating knowledge about accidents’ causes. In the theoretical references there is a compilation of the conceptualization of the various types of accident’s causes accepted today, resulting in the elaboration of a diagram with these causes, organized according to their origins. In this diagram the causes managed by the employee are grouped as Behavioral Causes and those causes that, although have the employee as the final agent, are or should be managed by the organization, are grouped as Systemic Causes. In the discussion of Behavioral Causes are highlighted the differences between the errors of trained and experienced collaborators, called Unintentional Actions and those caused by inexperienced or untrained personnel. In the classification the emphasis is in the differences between the Violations caused with the intent of personal gains in time and effort reduction and those stimulated by the organization. Follows the presentation of research and classification’s methodology of causes of accidents and the results of their use on a sample of recent accidents in an industry in the South of Brazil. Researches’ results showed that accidents whose main cause is managed by the company are more quantitatively than those where the cause is managed by the accident’s victim. It was also found that Unintentional Actions are the main cause of accidents within the Behavioral Causes group and that those constitute the second more frequent kind of all causes of work accidents, above Violations and, deserving, for this reason, studies aimed at their control. This method might be used as an additional management tool in the accident prevention process.

Byggindustrin är idag en av våra mest olycksdrabbade branscher i Sverige sett tillantalet sysselsatta inom branschen. Olycksfrekvensen ligger idag kring 11/1000sysselsatta och år. Statistiken visar att byggindustrin har fler sjukskrivningar på grundav olyckor än andra branscher, vilket givetvis leder till större utgifter i förhållande tillde andra på denna punkt. Ett sätt att öka intresset för säkerhet och arbetsmiljöfrågorinom byggverksamheten kan vara att undersöka de ekonomiska aspekterna. Det ärtydligt att sjukskrivningar är en stor kostnad för byggföretagen men finns det egentligennågon motsättning mellan lönsamhet och säkerhet?Syftet med studien är att undersöka kopplingen mellan arbetsmiljöarbete,sjukskrivningar och kostnader inom byggsektorn. Studien utförs för att kunna ge enoberoende rekommendation på vilka åtgärder inom arbetsmiljö och säkerhet som kanminska antalet sjukskrivningar på grund av arbetsolyckor. Tanken är att undersökavilka olyckor som bidrar till flest sjukdagar och därmed störst kostnader för företagen,samt se vilka grundorsaker som går att förknippa med dessaStudien tar endast upp sjukskrivningar där bakomliggande orsak är en arbetsolycka.Det innebär att arbetssjukdommar orsakat av arbetshygieniska förhållanden intekommer att beaktas. Detta för att begränsa studien till den typ av olyckor inombyggindustrin som bidrar till flest sjukskrivningar.Undersökningen har gjorts i form av en omvärldsanalys med avsikt att samlainformation och kartlägga ämnet. Information och statistik i detta arbete har i störstamöjliga mån baserats på vetenskapligt säkerhetsställd litteratur ochmyndighetsinformation. Rapporten baseras i stor del på den nuägesbeskrivning sompresenteras i kapitel 4 som redogör bakgrund och den nuvarande situationbyggverksamheten befinner sig i när det gäller arbetsmiljöarbete, olycksstatiastik samtorsaker och kostnader för sjukskrivningar vid arbetsolyckor. I kapitel 3 presenteras denlagstiftning som i Sverige ligger till grund för arbetsmiljöarbete.I denna studie har olika undersökningar kombinerats för att få fram ett resultat på hurmycket sjukskrivningar, orsakade av arbetsolyckor, kostar. Kostnaderna baseras påarbetsmiljöverkets och försäkringskassans olycksfallstatistik samt försäkringskassanskalkylunderlag för sjukskrivning [25]. För att uppskatta kostnader för olika typer avolycksfall, undersöks hur många sjukdagar de fem vanligaste orsakerna bidrar med. Detvisar sig att den sjukskrivningskategori som kostar arbetsgivaren mest är fall från höjdoch att de åtgärder som enligt många studier förebygger detta är att ha en städadarbetsplats.Slutligen kan det konstateras att det finns kopplingar mellan arbetsplatsolyckor,sjukskrivningar och kostnader för företag inom byggsektorn. Det finns även åtgärdersom kan ge effekt på minskade sjukskrivningar, exempelvis städning och information.Utöver detta pekas även projektering ut som en punkt där anpassningar förarbetsmiljön kan göras och på så vis minska sjukskrivningar och öka lönsamheten hosföretagen.
The construction industry is one of our most injurious industries in Sweden today. Theaccident frequency currently lies around 11 per 1000 employees per year. Statistics showthat the construction industry has more sick leave due to accidents than other business,which of course leads to larger cost in relation to others industrial branches in this area.One way to increase the interest in safety and work environment issues in theconstruction industry can be to examine the economical aspects. It is clear that sickleave is a big cost for construction companies, but is there really any contradictionbetween profitability and safety?The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between work environmentand profitability for companies in the construction sector. The study is carried out inorder to give an independent recommendation on which measures within workenvironment and safety that could be used to reduce the number of sick leave occasionsdue to work accidents. The idea is to investigate which accidents contribute to the mostsick days, and to see which root causes that could be associated with these accidents.The study only addresses sick leave where the underlying cause is workplace accidents.This means that occupational diseases caused by industrial hygiene conditions will notbe taken into account, this is to limit the study to the section which contributes themost to sick leave in the construction industry .The study has been conducted as an analysis of the surrounding world with theintention of gathering information and mapping out the subject. Information andstatistics in this research have, as far as possible, been based on scientifically securedliterature and government information. The report is largely based on the complieddescription of the current situation presented in chapter 4. This chapter describes thebackground and current situation for the construction industry in regards to legislation,work environment, accident statistics as well as causes and costs for sick leave in theevent of work accidents.In this report, various research has been combined to obtain a result on how much sickleave, caused by occupational accidents, costs. The costs are based on the SwedishWork Environment Authority and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s accidentstatistics as well as the Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s calculation basis for sickleave. In order to estimate the costs for different types of accidents, the number of sickdays for the five most common causes of injuries were picked out. It turns out that thecause of accidents that contributes to the highest costs for the employer is fall fromhight. It was also detected that according to many studies, the most efficient way toprevent fall from hight was to have a tidy workplace.Finally, it’s concluded that there are connections between work environment accidents,sick leave and costs for companies within the construction sector. There are alsomeasures that can affect sick leave, for example cleaning and information. Beyondthese, construction design is pointed out as an area where adjustments for the workenvironment can be made and though that reduce sick leave and increase profits for thecompanies.

The accidents at work cause thousands of deaths every day around the world and Brazil is considered one of the champions of occurrences. They are caused by many factors of being human, organizational, machinery and equipment inappropriate; however, to facilitate the search for the factors that really cause these events were prepared methodologies used for investigation of accidents in different areas and efficiencies. These can be called proactive, they are used before the occurrence of the event or reactive methods that are applied after the occurrence of the incident, and are used as a basis of information to prevent further events. In Brazil was adopted the Tree Causes Method that is used to investigate the causes of accidents without pursue the culprits, but find the factors that caused it being widely used in the investigation of accidents. The objective of this study was to test the application of the method CTM in an accident at work in agriculture evaluate its efficiency front and the special found in this sector of the economy, with its use was possible the observation of the factors causing the accident that became evident in the construction of the tree causes. This showed that the factors causing the accident were linked to the behavior of the operator front variations occurred during the execution of the activity and also with the haracteristics of the work environment. The method is applicable in accidents of the work and very useful for professionals connected the area of security is an important tool for improving the conditions of the organizational work, because it allows some measures of control are taken from the information raised during the whole process.
Os acidentes de trabalho causam milhares de mortes diariamente pelo mundo e o Brasil é considerado um dos campeões de ocorrências. Eles são causados por inúmeros fatores sendo de conotações humanas, organizacionais, de máquinas e equipamentos inadequados, no entanto, para facilitar a busca os fatores que realmente provocam esses eventos foram criadas várias metodologias de investigação de acidentes utilizadas em diferentes áreas e eficiências. Essas podem ser denominadas proativas, ou seja, são utilizadas antes da ocorrência do evento ou então métodos reativos que são aplicados após a ocorrência do incidente, e são utilizados como base de informação para prevenir novos acontecimentos. No Brasil foi adotado o Método Árvore de Causas de origem francesa que é utilizado para investigar as causas dos acidentes sem buscar os culpados, mas sim encontrar os fatores que provocaram o mesmo sendo muito utilizado na investigação de acidentes ocorridos nos setores secundários e terciários. Como o objetivo deste trabalho foi testar a aplicação do método ADC em um acidente de trabalho rural e avaliar sua eficiência frente as variabilidades e peculiares encontradas neste setor da economia, com a sua utilização foi possível a constatação dos fatores causadores do acidente que ficaram evidentes na construção da árvore de causas. Essa demonstrou que os fatores causadores do acidente estavam ligados ao comportamento do operador de trator frente as variações ocorridas durante a execução da atividade e, também, com as características próprias do ambiente de trabalho. Constatou-se que o método é aplicável em acidentes do trabalho rural e de grande utilidade para profissionais ligados a área de segurança sendo uma importante ferramenta para melhorar as condições organizacionais do trabalho, pois o mesmo permite que algumas medidas de controle sejam criadas a partir das informações levantadas durante todo o processo investigatório.

Bicycling has many advantages. For example, it emits less noise compared to motor vehicles, it is environmentally friendly, and bicycling, as a means of transport, gives people exercise. To encourage bicycling in Sweden, the Swedish government has promoted policies and proposals on national and local levels. At the same time, several pieces of research on bicycle use in Sweden show that more people are bicycling now than 60 years ago. STRADA’s (Swedish Traffic Accident Data Acquisition) reports also show that most people who are severely injured in traffic are bicyclists, and that most bicycle accidents occur in urban and metropolitan areas. Stockholm is a European city with a growing population. At the end of 2013 the population were 897 700 and it is predicted to grow by 25 % by 2030. The municipality of Stockholm is working on investment projects for bicyclists with the aim to increase accessibility and road safety such as special road safety measures at intersections that often aim at improving road conditions for both pedestrians and bicyclists, and better maintenance of bicycle paths, both in summers and winters. Critics and different debate articles about bicyclists` safety and accessibility point out that the investments that Stockholm municipality is making are not enough for meeting the growing population, especially for bicyclists. The aim of this study is to analyse the causes of bicycle accidents in the city of Stockholm. To help answer the research questions stated below, statistics on bicycle accidents were extracted in Excel from Strada and compiled in Excel using the Excel tool PivotTable and Analysis Tool Pak. The questions investigated in the thesis are as follows: when and where are bicyclists most likely to suffer an accident, why does the accident occur, and what causes are behind bicycle accidents at the chosen place of investigation? Five categorisations on the causes of single bicycle accidents were used and these were: operations and maintenance, road design, bicycle interactions, cyclists’ behaviour and conditions, and interaction with other road users. In addition to the above, a semi-structural qualitative interview was conducted with bicyclists who bicycle in or along the report's area of investigation. The results of this report show that single bicycle accidents in the investigated area have increased between 2010 and 2016, and that many bicyclists are not satisfied with the bicycle infrastructure in Stockholm.

Annotation:

Natural hazards affecting industrial installations could directly or indirectly cause an accident or series of accidents with serious consequences for the environment and for human health. Accidents initiated by a natural hazard or disaster which result in the release of hazardous materials are commonly referred to as Natech (Natural Hazard Triggering a Technological Disaster) accidents. The conditions brought about by these kinds of events are particularly problematic, the presence of the natural event increases the probability of exposition and causes consequences more serious than standard technological accidents. Despite a growing body of research and more stringent regulations for the design and operation of industrial activities, Natech accidents remain a threat. This is partly due to the absence of data and dedicated risk-assessment methodologies and tools. Even the Seveso Directives for the control of risks due to major accident hazards do not include any specific impositions regarding the management of Natech risks in the process industries. Among the few available tools there is the European Standard EN 62305, which addresses generic industrial sites, requiring to take into account the possibility of lightning and to select the appropriate protection measures. Since it is intended for generic industrial installations, this tool set the requirements for the design, the construction and the modification of structures, and is thus mainly oriented towards conventional civil building. A first purpose of this project is to study the effects and the consequences on industrial sites of lightning, which is the most common adverse natural phenomenon in Europe. Lightning is the cause of several industrial accidents initiated by natural causes. The industrial sectors most susceptible to accidents triggered by lightning is the petrochemical one, due to the presence of atmospheric tanks (especially floating roof tanks) containing flammable vapors which could be easily ignited by a lightning strike or by lightning secondary effects (as electrostatic and electromagnetic pulses or ground currents). A second purpose of this work is to implement the procedure proposed by the European Standard on a specific kind of industrial plant, i.e. on a chemical factory, in order to highlight the critical aspects of this implementation. A case-study plant handling flammable liquids was selected. The application of the European Standard allowed to estimate the incidence of lightning activity on the total value of the default release frequency suggested by guidelines for atmospheric storage tanks. Though it has become evident that the European Standard does not introduce any parameters explicitly pointing out the amount of dangerous substances which could be ignited or released. Furthermore the parameters that are proposed to describe the characteristics of the structures potentially subjected to lightning strikes are insufficient to take into account the specific features of different chemical equipment commonly present in chemical plants.

Many accident investigation techniques and other methods used by the petroleum industry today list a set of underlying human related causes and subsequent improvement suggestions. Do these techniques address the root cause behind the problem so that the appropriate initiatives can be implemented? The focus of the present thesis was to determine the human related root cause of two major accidents in the North Sea. This in order to give recommendations to improve the safety levels in the organisation. In order to achieve the above-mentioned goals, the IPT Knowledge Model was adapted to the given accidents. The data input into the model was based on interpreted observations from former investigation reports. The analysis of the blowout on Snorre A and the well control incident on Gullfaks C resulted in 49 and 63 observations respectively. For both accidents, the Human Factor that was indicated to have the largest affect on the accidents was Training and Competency (29% for Snorre A and 19% for Gullfaks C). Lack of competence was indicated as the majority subclass. Collectively, management and supervision, or lack thereof, was also indicated as being a contributing factor to the accidents. These final results coincide with the findings in other investigation reports. However, these are more acute, indicating a specific area of improvement within the company. By increasing the competency levels within the company and ensuring that the leaders and management have the proper tools to follow-up their employees and their operations, the safety levels and culture will improve.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the main causes of fall accidents and, to pinpoint the factors that influence the risk of falls in the U.S. construction industry. This study employed the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to examine 9,141 fall accidents, recorded for the period of last 20 years. The results show that specialty trade contractors working on low-budget, residential housing and commercial building projects are more susceptible to fall accidents. In terms of fall height, 85% of the fall accidents occurred on heights less than 30 ft., and most of them are not equipped with a fall protection tool. The main contribution of this study is that it has specifically analyzed fall heights and the current state of usage of fall protection using actual accident data. Since there has been hardly any research done in the last decade to study falls in the U.S. construction industry, by examining the IMIS database; this study also presents updated analysis on fall accidents.

The electric power industry is very complex, dangerous, and challenging. The number of workplace accidents declined over the last decade, but worker injuries and fatalities continue to occur. The purpose of this Delphi study was to gain consensus regarding the most feasible and desirable methods to prevent accidents and deaths. The research question focused on gaining consensus from a panel of experts regarding the most desirable and feasible solutions to fatal and serious workplace accidents in the United States. The Bolman and Deal 4-frame model proved useful for understanding challenges within the electric industry and how workers and leaders can work together to best prevent accidents. Twenty-seven managers, trainers, supervisors, and workers, each with more than 10 years of experience in the United States electric power industry, responded to 30 items in the first round. The responses from the first round, where 70% or more of participants agreed, were analyzed using the NVivo 12 Plus software. Consensus occurred after each round: In the first round through the solutions participants provided. In the second round and later rounds, consensus occurred through acceptance of items with scores of 3 or higher on a 5-point Likert-type scale endorsed by 70% or more respondents. Participants decided if the solutions were desirable and feasible in the second round, and important and credible in rounds third and fourth. Participants concurred that organizational leadership, managers, supervisors, and workers were in different ways responsible for accident prevention. Supervisors and managers who communicated organizational priorities, and demanded strict compliance with policies, rules, and procedures, promote social change in a highly specialized industry.

Every year globally 1.3 million people lose their lives from road traffic accidents (RTAs). To date, there has not been a comprehensive evaluation of RTAs in the United Arab Emirates, and the results from this study would help in evaluating the issues related to RTAs. Relevant literature on factors related to RTAs was reviewed to inform the methods adopted for the study. Structured questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data among 291 drivers and 280 pedestrians in Abu Dhabi, while 41 key informant interviews with traffic managers provided qualitative data. Draft recommendations on RTAs in Abu Dhabi that were derived from drivers, pedestrians and key informant interviews were discussed with appropriate stakeholders , traffic managers and policy makers in the country that resulted in the development of RTAs benchmark in the country. The study has identified major causes of RTAs in Abu Dhabi, with young people between 18-25 years, the ones who are likely to cause RTAs in Abu Dhabi. Not wearing seat belt, using mobile phone and alcohol consumption were also identified as causes of RTAs. Aggressive driving behaviour was the most unsafe driving behaviours and included speeding, tailgating, not using indicators and jumping red traffic lights. Using a mobile phones as a pedestrian while crossing roads and crossing roads from undesignated places also contributed to RTAs. The study has proposed methods to reduce RTAs in Abu Dhabi including traffic law enforcement, traffic campaigns and education traffic safety programs. The study further proposes that a welcome pack be provided for new arrivals to the country, with information on the importance of traffic safety and to explain the traffic law in the country as an appropriate method to reduce RTAs in Abu Dhabi. The study further proposes that governments should work with relevant stakeholders to address issues related to RTAs.

[ES] La Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de 8 de noviembre de 1995 (LPRL), en vigor desde el 10 de febrero de 1996, establece en su artículo 5: "tendrá por objeto la promoción de la mejora de las condiciones de trabajo dirigida a elevar el nivel de protección de la seguridad y la salud de los trabajadores en el trabajo." En esta Tesis se ha investigado la evolución de los índices de siniestralidad laboral y su relación con la evolución de diferentes variables explicativas relacionadas con el desarrollo normativo, el mercado de trabajo, la estructura productiva, las condiciones de empleo y las condiciones individuales, entre otras, para el caso de España y en el periodo 1995-2017, que abarca desde la promulgación de la LPRL hasta fechas recientes donde se disponía de los datos históricos necesarios. La investigación se ha centrado en los índices de salud más relevantes según su significado en términos de riesgo y/o sus componentes. El objetivo de la investigación ha sido el encontrar evidencias sobre relaciones causa-efecto entre índices y variables, a partir de las cuales extraer lecciones que facilitarán una mejor planificación de la acción preventiva. Para ello, se han propuesto varios modelos explicativos utilizando diferentes herramientas estadísticas, que han permitido formular de manera explícita y analizar la relación entre la evolución de los indicadores de salud ocupacional y la evolución de las principales variables explicativas. En términos generales puede concluirse que la implantación de dicha ley y normativa que la acompaña ha tenido un impacto positivo en las condiciones de trabajo y en consecuencia sobre el nivel de seguridad y salud de los trabajadores desde entonces y hasta la fecha. Sin embargo, se observan diferentes comportamientos cíclicos en la evolución de los indicadores, tales como los índices de incidencia, frecuencia y gravedad, que pone de manifiesto su dependencia de la naturaleza y comportamiento cíclico de algunas de las variables explicativas más importantes relacionadas con ciclos económicos, mercado de trabajo, estructura productiva, etc. Además, se observa como aspectos tales como la pertenencia a grupos de edad jóvenes o expertos, el nivel de estudios, determinadas categorías profesionales, y algunos sectores particulares tienen efectos significativos sobre los valores alcanzados por los índices de siniestralidad. En cambio, otros, como el trabajo a tiempo parcial o la contratación temporal no manifiestan tener tanta repercusión sobre los indicadores.
[CA] Partint de les dades corresponents als accidents ocorreguts en el període 1995-2017, es La Llei de Prevenció de Riscos Laborals de 8 de novembre de 1995 (*LPRL), en vigor des del 10 de febrer de 1996, estableix en el seu article 5: "tindrà per objecte la promoció de la millora de les condicions de treball dirigida a elevar el nivell de protecció de la seguretat i la salut dels treballadors en el treball." En aquesta Tesi s'ha investigat l'evolució dels índexs de sinistralitat laboral i la seua relació amb l'evolució de diferents variables explicatives relacionades amb el desenvolupament normatiu, el mercat de treball, l'estructura productiva, les condicions d'ocupació i les condicions individuals, entre altres, per al cas d'Espanya i en el període 1995-2017, que abasta des de la promulgació de la LPRL fins a dates recents on es disposava de les dades històriques necessàries. La investigació s'ha centrat en els índexs de salut més rellevants segons el seu significat en termes de risc i/o els seus components. L'objectiu de la investigació ha sigut el trobar evidències sobre relacions causa-efecte entre índexs i variables, a partir de les quals extraure lliçons que facilitaran una millor planificació de l'acció preventiva. Per a això, s'han proposat diversos models explicatius utilitzant diferents eines estadístiques, que han permés formular de manera explícita i analitzar la relació entre l'evolució dels indicadors de salut ocupacional i l'evolució de les principals variables explicatives. En termes generals pot concloure's que la implantació d'aquesta llei i normativa que l'acompanya ha tingut un impacte positiu en les condicions de treball i en conseqüència sobre el nivell de seguretat i salut dels treballadors des de llavors i fins hui. No obstant això, s'observen diferents comportaments cíclics en l'evolució dels indicadors, com ara els índexs d'incidència, freqüència i gravetat, que posa de manifest la seua dependència de la naturalesa i comportament cíclic d'algunes de les variables explicatives més importants relacionades amb cicles econòmics, mercat de treball, estructura productiva, etc. A més, s'observa com a aspectes com ara la pertinença a grups d'edat joves o experts, el nivell d'estudis, determinades categories professionals, i alguns sectors particulars tenen efectes significatius sobre els valors aconseguits pels índexs de sinistralitat. En canvi, uns altres, com el treball a temps parcial o la contractació temporal no manifesten tindre tanta repercussió sobre els indicadors.
[EN] The Occupational Risk Prevention Act of November 8, 1995 (ORPA), in force since February 10, 1996, establishes in its article 5: "will have as its objective the promotion of the improvement of working conditions aimed at raise the level of protection of the safety and health of workers at work. " This thesis has investigated the evolution of the occupational accident rates and their relationship with the evolution of different explanatory variables related to regulatory development, the labor market, the productive structure, employment conditions and individual conditions, among others, in the case of Spain and in the period 1995-2017, which ranges from the enactment of the LPRL to recent dates where the necessary historical data was available. Research has focused on the most relevant health indices according to their meaning in terms of risk and / or their components. The objective of the research has been to find evidence on cause-effect relationships between indices and variables, from which to extract lessons that will facilitate better planning of preventive action. To this end, several explanatory models have been proposed using different statistical tools, which have made it possible to explicitly formulate and analyze the relationship between the evolution of occupational health indicators and the evolution of the main explanatory variables. In general terms, it can be concluded that the implementation of said law and accompanying regulations has had a positive impact on working conditions and consequently on the level of health and safety of workers since then and to date. However, different cyclical behaviors are observed in the evolution of the indicators, such as incidence, frequency and severity indices, which highlights their dependence on the nature and cyclical behavior of some of the most important explanatory variables related to economic cycles, labor market, productive structure, etc. Furthermore, aspects such as belonging to young age groups or experts, educational level, certain professional categories, and some particular sectors are observed as having significant effects on the values reached by the accident rates. On the other hand, others, such as part-time work or temporary hiring, do not claim to have such an impact on the indicators.

Annotation:

In-work poverty challenges the conventional understanding and explanation of poverty. The concepts of work and poverty were for a long time seen by policy makers as having little in common. However, official in-work poverty figures of the last decade reveal that employed people are not immune to poverty. What is more, incidents of in-work poverty are neither unique nor isolated. The most recent statistical data show that nearly 9 per cent of employees in the European Union are facing risk of poverty. Consequently, this phenomenon is gradually becoming a most pressing issue that, until recently, had been largely ignored by both the scientific community and policy makers in Europe. This dissertation examines the extent and nature of in-work poverty in Lithuania, a country that joined the EU in 2004. It aims to analyse the contextual determinants of in-work poverty in the country, as well as expose factual and experiential dimensions of the phenomenon. This study uses mixed research methods consisting of two main inquiry strategies: a quantitative examination of in-work poverty indicators and qualitative analysis of in-work poverty experiences. It uses both primary and secondary data analysis by combining empirical data drawn from the Eurostat statistical database with data collected via qualitative semi-structured interviews. Even though the research was conducted in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007-08, a time when in-work poverty rates in Lithuania escalated to unprecedented levels, the findings are contextualized as they represent an outcome of long-term structural arrangements and prevalent ideological discourse. The findings of this study challenge the dominant idea that creation of jobs and integration into the labour market can be considered a sustainable anti-poverty policy. It reveals that predictors of in-work poverty in Lithuania are primarily ingrained within the very structures that are often seen as safeguards against poverty in capitalist countries, namely, the labour market and welfare state.

Faktorer som påverkar återgång till arbete efter moped olyckor i Vietnam Rehabilitering kan möjliggöra för personer med funktionsnedsättningar att leva självständigt och vara en del av samhället. Majoriteten av dem som skadas i trafiken i Vietnam är motorcykelåkare. Syftet med uppsatsen var att beskriva faktorer som upplevdes påverka arbetsåtergången för personer som har varit med i en mopedolycka i Vietnam. En kvalitativ metod med semi-strukturerade intervju användes under datainsamlingen. I uppsatsen deltog elva personer, både män och kvinnor, som hade varit med i en mopedolycka under de senaste fem åren. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes. Resultatet visade stödjande och hindrande faktorer som påverkar återgång till arbete. De faktorer som främst upplevdes som stödjande vid återgång till arbete var stöd från arbetsgivare, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal samt familj. Arbetsgivarna kunde underlätta genom att ge tid för rehabilitering och vila. Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal kunde förbättra upplevelsen av hälsotillståndet och vara uppmuntrande och stöttande under rehabiliteringsperioden. Stödet från familjen bestod av hjälp i de dagliga aktiviteterna och skjutsande till och från sjukhuset och arbetet. Faktorer som visades vara hindrande för återgång till arbete var avsaknad av miljöanpassning och försämrat hälsotillstånd. Slutsatsen av detta examensarbete var att arbetsgivare, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och familjen upplevdes som den främsta resursen i den sociala miljön vid återgång till arbetet.
Rehabilitation is a way to enable people with disabilities to live independently and to be a part of the community. The majority of people who are injured by traffic accidents in Vietnam are mainly motorcycle users. The purpose of the thesis was to describe factors influencing return-to-work experienced by people injured by motorbike accidents in Vietnam. A qualitative method with semi structured interviews was used to collect the data. The thesis included eleven participants, both men and women, who had been in a motorbike accident during the last five years. For data analysis a qualitative content analysis was used. Results showed supportive and obstructive factors that influenced return to work. Those factors that mainly was experienced as supportive when returning to work was supportive employers, professionals and family. The employer could support with time for rehabilitation and rest. The professionals could increase the health condition and be encouraging and supportive during the rehabilitation period. Support from family consisted of help with activities in daily living and driving their relative to hospital and to work. Factors that was obstructive when returning to work was lack of environmental adjustments and decreased health condition. The conclusion of this thesis was that the employer, professionals and families are seen as the main resource in the social environment when returning to work.

A high incidence of road accidents has been recorded in Saudi Arabia in recent years (Traffic Department Statistics 1991). Various factors might have accounted for this high rate of road accidents; the aim of this research, therefore, was to examine what factors contribute to road accidents in the country. In pursuit of this aim, a review of relevant literature on factors related with road accidents in many countries of the world was undertaken. Through this review, a list of road, vehicle and driver-related variables was selected for investigation in this study. The target population for the study was 4,100 drivers in Eastern Saudi Arabia who had been involved in road accidents in the period. Out of this population, a sample of 600 drivers was selected. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a questionnaire which requested demographic information on factors which had caused them to have an accident, and questions analysing habitual driving behaviour. Drivers were also tested on their knowledge of road signs. Returns were received from 484 drivers, 81% of the study sample. Two statistical techniques, chi square and correlation coefficient Spearman Brown formula, were utilised to test the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable - the number of road accidents. The findings of the study show that certain variables were significantly associated with road accidents in Saudi Arabia. Among the significant variables were the age of the driver, education level, profession, violation record, vehicle ownership, joy-riding, poor eye sight, sun haze, sand storm, long hours driving, non-observance of speed limit, emerging and exiting from roads without signals, presence of stray animals, non-marking of the road, non-familiarity with the road, lack of regular checking of vehicles, lack of regular servicing of vehicles and driving under medication. The variables that were not significant include marital status, non-possession of a licence, mechanical fault, reversing, non-alertness to others' errors, use of high beam lights while driving, non-lighting of the roads, passengers' behaviour, ear disorder. Conclusions were drawn as to deficiencies in driver training in Saudi Arabia and inadequacies of supervision by the law enforcement agents. It is recommended that policy makers should make intensive efforts in organising training programmes and seminars for drivers and curriculum of driving schools should be expanded. Measures for improving enforcement of traffic regulations are made, and it is suggested that an Islamic insurance policy for vehicles should be introduced in the country. Finally, suggestions are made for further research.

Annotation:

The key to production effectiveness lies in the optimal utilisation of the organisations own employees. This has been accomplished by changing the power structure within organisations with the introduction of self-directed work teams. In addition to carrying out the work, SDWT members make decisions that are traditionally the jurisdiction of first line supervisors. This method of management and work planning can lead to added stress and behaviour not anticipated from employees. This behaviour, if not addressed, may have a debilitating effect on the team's performance and therefore on the organisations' bottom line. To address this behaviour, the specific causes must first be identified. The pressure within the teams of a gold mine is increased due to the fact that one day's loss of production can cost hundreds of thousands of rand. The objective of the research was to determine what causes certain dysfunctional behaviours in self-directed work teams, and the effect this has on the workplace and performance. A qualitative study was done whereby a single group of subjects was obtained. This group consisted of 40 subjects (N=40). Three different work groups were part of the case study. These groups were observed in the workplace, the group's interactions with other members in the group were observed, and the group's interactions with leadership figures were observed, and finally individual members participated in unstructured interviews in order to identify the experience of members in the work groups and also to discover what elements contributed to the dysfunctional behaviour identified in the workplace. Data from interviews was used to develop major groupings, or general classifications of broad categories of themes, where a theme is a recurrent topic of discussion or often mentioned key factor with regards to behaviour. Information was also gathered by observing individuals in their places of work. The results showed that the factors, which were most frequently sited, were the issues of contradictory demands and control (leadership). Another factor considered important by all role players was relationships. Other influences identified, but of less importance, were support, trust and communication, cultural diversity, role clarity and finally, individual needs. By way of conclusion, recommendations for future research are made.

Although already known that Maori were over-represented in terms of Work-Related Fatal Injury, because of flawed identification processes, both in numerator and denominator data, little progress has been made in understanding the true extent, nature and distribution of work-related fatal injury among Maori. The present study aimed to more accurately describe the problem, identifying specific circumstances associated with Maori deaths that will assist in developing preventive strategies for Maori. Coronial files with an ICD 9-CM E-Code between E800 and E989 and a decedent aged 15-84, were reviewed as part of the study of all New Zealand work-related fatal injuries occurring between 1985 and 1994. Basic descriptive and causal information concerning each incident were abstracted and coded. Maori were identified within this dataset by either the classification recorded upon death certificates or if they were identified as Maori within Coroners files. In all, 91 Maori deaths were identified within the 817 work-related fatalities. Notably, agreement between the data sources used to identify ethnic status was only around 52%. Crude rates were significantly higher for Maori and did not show the significant linear decline across years, compared with the non-Maori rates. Rates adjusted for employment patterns based on ethnicity did not differ. Specific event sequences leading to death were examined by age industry and occupational group for both Maori and non-Maori workers. This study is the first to specifically investigate work-related injury for Maori. It confirms that overall inequities exist, and that they are largely due to differing employment patterns between Maori and non-Maori.

Annotation:

L'automobilisme et ses risques constituent un vaste système historiquement, socialement, culturellement et économiquement sédimenté. Ce processus de légitimation est analysé ici jusque dans ses expressions les plus contemporaines afin de mieux comprendre pourquoi le risque routier persiste à engendrer une très forte morbidité et mortalité en France. La démarche socio-anthropologique mise en œuvre dans cette thèse consiste à interpréter les accidents de la circulation routière dans leur interrelation avec les caractéristiques de l'époque dans laquelle ils se réalisent. Différentes tendances sociétales observées permettent en effet de formuler l'hypothèse selon laquelle la prégnance des technosciences et du libéralisme économique engendre une radicalisation des formes de violence en général et de violence routière en particulier. Autrement dit, la nature des comportements routiers et les accidents résulterait d'une adhésion toujours plus grande aux valeurs portées par le projet moderne. Les thèmes de la vitesse, de la prise de risque par les jeunes, ou encore du déni de responsabilité individuelle et collective seront plus particulièrement développés. Ce travail mobilise les théories classiques de la sociologie et de l'anthropologie, des travaux récents en matière de risques et d'insécurité routière, mais également, à des degrés divers, l'Histoire, la géographie, la philosophie, l'économie ou encore la psychanalyse. Il s'appuie en outre sur des travaux de terrain variés, réalisés principalement au moyen de méthodes qualitatives.

The study aims to describe the external causes of death (ECD) mortality, specifically suicide and traffic death in Estonia 1970-2002 in relation to the political and economic development with a special focus on the unemployment and alcohol use impact. This analyse bases on the Statistical Office of Estonia and other governmental institutions published information. The highest mortality rates occurred for traffic accidents 1990-91 and for suicides 1994-95. Middle-age man excess ECD mortalityoccurred in early 1990s with the greatest politico-economic changes accompanied by high psychosocial stress before the population could acquire appropriate coping strategies. Impact of the first main reforms on the population health has been ascertained. Price liberalisation was followed by immense inflation and real wage fall in early 1990s. Privatisation and monetary reform influenced on the basic living security of the population. People faced unexpected living difficulties as work and dwelling insecurity, decreased real income, insufficiency to meetessential expenditures, declined living standard, social status loss, population stratification and inadequate social protection. Unemployment was just introduced and did not play a significant role for the high mortality. Traffic accidents’ fatal consequences decreased with growing GDP as cars and roads became safer however accidents’ number did not decrease. Western cars appearance euphoria could influence more than alcohol consumption. It could plausibly increase accidents but the reason and role of alcohol consumption in the intentional actions needs more information. Suicide could have been influenced mainly by social and traffic accidents mortality mainly by environmental factors. Earlier findings about the unemployment and alcohol consumption impact on the transition’s high injurymortality have not been confirmed by the current study. Current paper provides framework within population worsening health factors during politico-economic changes could be better understood. The strongest impact on Estonia’s population health could come from transition’s political and economic reforms influencing dwelling and incomesecurity. Low salary and low purchasing power could hurt a human dignity even more than possible unemployment

Annotation:

Contexte : les deux-roues motorisés (2RM) sont en forte évolution et la vulnérabilité de leurs usagers est de plus en plus manifeste. En 2013, dans le monde, les usagers de 2RM ont compté pour 23 % de la mortalité routière, devant les piétons (22 %). Dans ce contexte, la sécurité des usagers de 2RM est devenue une préoccupation sérieuse dans la plupart des pays. Contrairement à beaucoup de problèmes de santé publique, les principaux facteurs de l'insécurité routière en 2RM sont connus. L'enjeu d'aujourd'hui est surtout de quantifier leur effet sur la survenue d'accidents et d'évaluer les effets des quelques dispositifs de protection disponibles. Les objectifs de cette thèse sont de mieux connaitre les problèmes d'interaction entre les conducteurs de 2RM et les automobilistes selon différentes situations accidentelles (en particulier en intersection), de quantifier les effets des facteurs à l'origine de la survenue des accidents issus de la perte de contrôle du 2RM, et de mesurer l'efficacité des dispositifs de protection portés par les usagers de 2RM (casque intégral, blouson de moto, pantalon de moto, gants, bottes ou chaussures montantes et protection dorsale). Données : la réalisation des objectifs de la thèse s'appuie sur les données du projet VOIESUR, les données du Registre des accidents de la circulation du Rhône et les données recueillies au moyen d'une enquête postale réalisée auprès de 7 148 usagers de 2RM accidentés entre 2010 et 2014 identifiés par le Registre du Rhône. Résultats : Le problème de détectabilité des motos au niveau des intersections est confirmé. Dans la même situation d'interaction entre deux véhicules en intersection, un automobiliste a plus de difficulté à détecter une moto qu'à détecter un véhicule léger. Les facteurs suivants sont associés à la survenue des accidents de type perte de contrôle : alcool, type de moto, jour de l'accident, sinuosité de la route, adhérence de la route et vitesse. Nous soulignons le fait qu'une mauvaise adhérence de la route augmente considérablement le risque de perte de contrôle, en particulier lorsque la dégradation de l'adhérence est inattendue pour les motocyclistes en raison de la présence de gravillons, de corps gras, de nids de poule, etc. sur la route. En cas d'accident, les vêtements dédiés à la moto protègent les usagers des blessures. Ils sont efficaces pour éviter les dermabrasions et les plaies cutanées, mais ne semblent pas protéger des blessures plus graves telles que fracture, luxation ou entorse, sauf pour les bottes ou chaussures montantes qui réduisent le risque de fracture de la cheville ou du pied. Concernant les plaques dorsales, aucune efficacité n'a été montrée. Les casques intégraux protègent mieux le visage de l'usager du 2RM comparés aux non-intégraux, alors qu'aucune différence de protection du crâne ou du cerveau n'est mise en évidence entre les deux types de casques. Conclusion : Nos résultats mettent en évidence le problème de détectabilité d'un 2RM par les automobilistes en intersection et l'importance de l'état de la chaussée dans les accidents associés à une perte de contrôle du 2RM par son conducteur. Il est fortement recommandé pour les automobilistes de bien faire attention aux véhicules prioritaires venant de la gauche ou d'en face avant de tourner à gauche, particulièrement aux 2RM venant d'en face. L'amélioration de l'état de la chaussée et une signalisation adaptée représentent aussi un enjeu fort pour la sécurité des usagers de 2RM. Nos résultats soutiennent la recommandation faite par les organismes de sécurité routière du port plus systématique des équipements vestimentaires chez les usagers de 2RM. Enfin, nos résultats encouragent l'utilisation d'un casque intégral chez les usagers de 2RM afin de mieux protéger le visage
Background: Motorized two-wheelers (MTW) are evolving rapidly and the vulnerability of their users is becoming more obvious. MTW users were the most vulnerable road users, accounting for 23 % of all road traffic fatalities worldwide in 2013, in front of pedestrians (22 %). In this context, the safety of MTW users has become a serious concern in most countries. In contrast to many public health problems, the main factors of MTW road safety have been identified. The issue today is to quantify their effects on the occurrence of accidents and to measure the effects of protective devices. The present thesis aims to better understand the interaction problems between MTW drivers and automobilists according to different accident configurations (in particular at intersection), to identify and assess the effect of critical factors on the risk of MTW loss-of-control crashes, and to measure the effectiveness of protective clothing (motorcycle jacket, trousers, gloves, knee-high or ankle boots, back protection) for MTW users. Data: This study used MTW accident data collected in a French project VOIESUR, injury data from the Rhône Registry, plus data collected by means of a postal survey which was conducted among 7148 MTW riders injured between 2010 and 2014 and identified in the Rhône Registry. Results: We confirmed the problem of motorcycle detection for other road users. In the similar conditions, the motorists have more difficulty to detect a motorcycle than a car oncoming, in particular at intersections. The following factors are associated with the occurrence of motorcycle loss-of-control accidents: alcohol use, motorcycle type, weekend vs. weekday, road alignment, road adhesion and traveling speed. We emphasize that poor road adhesion significantly increases the risk of losing control, especially when deteriorated road adhesion is encountered unexpectedly, due to the presence of loose gravel, ice, oil, potholes, etc. on the roadway. In case of accident, motorcycle clothing protects users from injury. It can protect riders against injuries such as dermabrasion and laceration, but not against more serious injuries, such as fracture and sprain, except for boots, which reduce foot-and-ankle fracture risk. No effect of dorsal protectors was shown. Full-face helmets provide significantly greater protection against facial injury than do other helmets. However, no significant difference of protection against skull or brain injury is found between the two types of helmets. Conclusion: Our results highlight the problem of MTW detection for motorists at intersections and the important role of road conditions in the occurrence of accidents resulting from loss of control of MTW. It is recommended for motorists to pay extra attention to priority vehicles oncoming from their left or the opposite direction, before turning left at an intersection, especially to MTW. Regular road maintenance and immediate installment of appropriate warning signs concerning road deterioration are also highly recommended in consideration of MTW safety. Finally, our results support road safety organizations’ recommendation that protective clothing be worn: this should be more systematic for MTW users, the same for the use of full-face helmets

This study describes the occurrence of work accidents (typically, of commuting, professional, and work related illnesses) looking at company related aspects (sector and type of economic activity); victim data (age, sex, status, and occupation); accident characteristics (length of time into shift of accident, external cause, nature of the lesion, time off work, and probable duration of treatment) and at the treatment center, with a view to providing subsidies for implanting the municipal program for workers heath. The material consists of information from Work Accidents Reports (Comunicações de Acidentes do Trabalho - CAT), between 1st July 1999 and 30th June 2000 registered at the local social security office of the Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS). This information, transcribed using code cards and computerized by a trained coder, processed electronically using Epi-Info, version 6.04. During the study period 521 accidents were processed: 28 (5.4%) professional and work related illnesses; 65 (12.5%), commuting accidents; and 428 (82.4%), typical work accidents. The small number of registered illnesses was considered an indication of diagnosis problems and/or of registration. In commuting and typical work accidents occurring outside the workplace involving transportation: A) the lesions were more serious than the other cases; B) motorcycles were involved in 51.3% and 66.7% respectively, and bicycles in 33.3% and 16.7%. From typical workplace accidents, we observed: A) of the 55 puncture/cut type accidents on hospital workers notified to the Epidemiological Monitoring System, only 6 were registered with Social Security; B) the companies which registered between one and four cases were mainly small; they had the highest percentage of cases requiring time off...

Resumo: As causas externas de morbidade e mortalidade se referem aos acidentes e violências que provocam algum tipo de lesão, seja física ou psíquica, e que podem ou não ter o óbito como desfecho. Trata-se de importante causa de óbito em muitos países, com grande impacto no perfil da morbidade hospitalar. Embora ainda subutilizados para fins de análises epidemiológicas, os dados provenientes do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH/SUS) podem ser uma importante fonte de informação para analisar o comportamento epidemiológico da internação hospitalar por causas externas. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o padrão epidemiológico e a tendência das internações hospitalares por causas externas ocorridas no sistema público de saúde do Brasil, no período de 2002 a 2011. Estudo descritivo e ecológico com dados referentes às internações hospitalares por causas externas ocorridas no sistema público de saúde e registradas no SIH/SUS. Calculou-se o coeficiente de internação hospitalar por 100 mil habitantes, considerando o número de internações segundo local de residência no numerador e a população residente no denominador. Foram calculados os indicadores de permanência média e de letalidade hospitalar. Para estimar a tendência, utilizou-se o modelo de regressão linear simples, sendo o coeficiente de internação hospitalar a variável dependente (Y) e o tempo (ano-calendário), a variável independente (X). O coeficiente de internação hospitalar foi considerado crescente quando ? foi positivo, e decrescente quando ? foi negativo. A significância estatística do modelo de tendência foi atestada quando p<0,05. Das 973.015 internações hospitalares por causas externas ocorridas em 2011 no sistema público de saúde do Brasil, predominaram as internações por quedas (38,4%) e acidentes de transporte terrestre (15,8%). O risco de internação hospitalar por causas externas revelou-se crescente com a idade, mais elevado no sexo masculino e na região Centro-Oeste do país. A permanência média foi maior nas internações por agressões (6,0 dias) e acidentes de transporte terrestre (6,1 dias), enquanto a letalidade atingiu maiores valores nas internações por agressões (4,7%) e lesões autoprovocadas (4,0%). No período de 2002 a 2011, o coeficiente de internação hospitalar por causas externas apresentou tendência crescente com variação anual média de 11,6% (p=0,000). Verificou-se tendência crescente nas internações por quedas (2,7%; p=0,000) e acidentes de transporte terrestre (2,1%; p=0,014) e tendência decrescente nas internações por lesões autoprovocadas (-0,2%; p=0,000), enquanto as internações por agressões permaneceram estáveis. Este estudo contribui com o conhecimento do padrão da internação hospitalar por causas externas no Brasil, oferecendo uma compreensão mais abrangente sobre esses agravos, ao complementar as informações de mortalidade já amplamente divulgadas. Apesar de registrar informações sobre aproximadamente 70% a 80% das internações hospitalares e de necessitar de melhorias no que se refere à qualidade da informação fornecida, o SIH/SUS é uma ferramenta essencial para a definição de políticas e programas de prevenção e de assistência às causas externas no Brasil
Abstract: External causes of morbidity and mortality relate to accidents and violence that cause some kind of injury, whether physical or mental, and that may or may not have death as the outcome. It is an important cause of death in many countries, with a major impact on the morbidity profile. Although still underutilized for purposes of epidemiological analyzes, data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SIH/SUS) can be an important source of information to analyze the epidemiological behavior of hospitalizations due to external causes. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological pattern and trends in hospital admissions due to external causes occurring in the public health system in Brazil, in the period 2002-2011. This is a descriptive and ecological study using data on hospital admissions due to external causes occurred in the public health system and registered in SIH/SUS. We calculated the coefficient of hospitalization per 100 thousand inhabitants. Indicators of average stay and hospital mortality were calculated. To estimate the trend, the model of simple linear regression was used. The coefficient of hospitalization was the dependent variable (Y) and time (calendar year) was the independent variable (X). The coefficient of hospitalization was considered increased when ? was positive and decreasing when ? was negative. The statistical significance of the trend model was attested when p<0.05. Of the 973,015 hospital admissions due to external causes occurred in 2011 in the public health system in Brazil, admissions for falls (38.4%) and traffic accidents (15.8%) predominated. The risk of hospitalization due to external causes has proved with increasing age, higher in males and in the Midwest region of the country. The average stay was higher in admissions for assault (6.0 days), traffic accidents (6.1 days), whereas mortality rate reached higher values in hospitalizations for assaults (4.7%), and self-harm (4.0%). During the period 2002-2011, it was found that the coefficient of hospitalization due to external causes showed increasing trend with an average annual growth of 13.1 % (p=0.000) . There was increasing trend in admissions for falls (2.7%; p=0,000) and traffic accidents (2.1%, p=0.014) and declining in hospitalizations for self-harm (-0.2%, p=0.000), while hospitalizations for assaults remained stable. This study contributes to the knowledge of the pattern of hospitalizations due to external causes in Brazil, offering a more comprehensive understanding of this important public health issue. Despite recording information on approximately 70%-80% of hospitalizations and need for improvement as regards the quality of information provided, the SIH/SUS is an essential tool for action assistance planning and prevention of external causes in Brazil

Resumo: Este estudo diz respeito às identificações de acidentes de trabalhos atendidos pelo Serviço Integrado de Atendimento ao Trauma em Emergência de Londrina, PR. Seu objetivo geral foi descrever o perfil da população vítima desses acidentes de trabalho. Apoia-se em método quantitativo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas telefônicas às vítimas ou familiares identificadas via relatórios dos hospitais de atendimento das referidas vítimas. Os dados foram analisados com apoio do programa Epi-Info 3.3. Foram realizadas 1312 entrevistas, sendo encontrados 465 (35,4%) casos considerados como acidentes de trabalho. O perfil da vítima de acidente de trabalho (AT) identificado na população atendida pelo SIATE em Londrina foi: jovem, de sexo masculino, sendo 21,9% do sexo feminino; predominantemente inserido no mercado formal de trabalho como empregado, embora 17,6% estejam no mercado informal e 14,4% atuem como autônomos. Dos 300 trabalhadores inseridos no mercado formal, 38,3% referem emissão de CAT, o que sugere subnotificação em 61,7% do total de acidentes de trabalho ocorridos na população vinculada ao seguro de acidente do trabalho. Nenhum dos acidentes de trabalho identificados neste estudo foi notificado ao SUS, ou seja, em registro no SINAN ou SIM. A maioria dos AT ocorreu no espaço da rua, sendo cerca de 65% dos casos acidentes de trajeto. As motocicletas estavam envolvidas em 81,1% dos casos relacionados a acidentes no trânsito. A maior parte desse grupo de acidentes também foi relacionada ao trajeto, evidenciando o uso de motos como meio de transporte e não ferramenta de trabalho. Das seis vítimas fatais, quatro estavam relacionadas ao trânsito e duas relacionadas a agressões por arma de fogo. Esses achados indicam que, antes de ter resolvido o problema da prevenção dos acidentes ocorridos no interior dos locais de trabalho, os envolvidos com a ...

Abstract: This study concerns identification of work accidents attended by the Integrated Emergency Trauma Care Center at Londrina, PR, Brazil. Its general objective was to describe the population profile of victims of these work accidents by a quantitative method. The data were collected by telephone interviews of victims or family members identified by hospital reports on victim care. The data were analyzed with the software Epi-Info 3.3. A total of 1312 interviews were conducted, of which 465 (35.4%) were found to be work accidents. The work accident (WA) victim profile identified in the population attended to by SIATE in Londrina was: young, male, with 21.9% being female; predominantly employed on the formal market, although 17.6% work at informal jobs and 14.4% are self-employed. Only 38.3% of the 300 cases from the formal market presented information indicating accident report (CAT) release, suggesting 61.7% underreporting of total work accidents that actually occurred in the population linked to work accident insurance. None of the work accidents identified in this study was reported to SUS, in other words, registered with SINAN (Injury Reporting Information System) or SIM (Mortality Information System). The majority of WA occurred in street space and comprised about 65% of commuting accidents. Motorcyclists were involved in 81.1% of commuting accident cases. There were more motorcycle accidents involving people who used them to go or return from work (motorcycle commuters from various professions) than with personsusing the motorcycles as work tools (moto-taxi drivers, couriers, etc.). Of six fatalities, four were related to commuting and two to firearm attacks. These findings indicate that before the problem of preventing workplace accidents has been resolved, those involved with Workers Health must undertake a new challenge: opening a new front in the struggle to prevent work accid ...

Abstract: This study describes the occurrence of work accidents (typically, of commuting, professional, and work related illnesses) looking at company related aspects (sector and type of economic activity); victim data (age, sex, status, and occupation); accident characteristics (length of time into shift of accident, external cause, nature of the lesion, time off work, and probable duration of treatment) and at the treatment center, with a view to providing subsidies for implanting the municipal program for workers heath. The material consists of information from Work Accidents Reports (Comunicações de Acidentes do Trabalho - CAT), between 1st July 1999 and 30th June 2000 registered at the local social security office of the Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS). This information, transcribed using code cards and computerized by a trained coder, processed electronically using Epi-Info, version 6.04. During the study period 521 accidents were processed: 28 (5.4%) professional and work related illnesses; 65 (12.5%), commuting accidents; and 428 (82.4%), typical work accidents. The small number of registered illnesses was considered an indication of diagnosis problems and/or of registration. In commuting and typical work accidents occurring outside the workplace involving transportation: A) the lesions were more serious than the other cases; B) motorcycles were involved in 51.3% and 66.7% respectively, and bicycles in 33.3% and 16.7%. From typical workplace accidents, we observed: A) of the 55 puncture/cut type accidents on hospital workers notified to the Epidemiological Monitoring System, only 6 were registered with Social Security; B) the companies which registered between one and four cases were mainly small; they had the highest percentage of cases requiring time off...

Annotation:

This thesis looked at traffic crashes in the emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to establish the current situation in road safety and ways of improving it. A global overview of road safety literature revealed that standards of road safety vary widely by region. Key indicators like fatality rate and risk (Jacobs et al, 2000) were found to be higher in most neighbouring Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries (10-25 fatalities/100,000 pop., 3-5 fatalities/10,000 motor vehicles) than in the best-performing Western countries (6 fatalities/100,000 pop., 1 fatality/10,000 motor vehicles). Interventions and countermeasures to tackle specific road safety issues were reviewed from international studies. Countermeasures were chosen with consideration for the local situation in Dubai within the categories of Human, Environmental and Vehicle factors. Examples of selected measures include offending driver punishment (Human), Electronic Stability Control (Vehicle) and central barriers (Environment). These measures were mostly studied in different environments to those in Dubai so the aspect of knowledge transfer between areas of different cultural and environmental conditions was discussed. Data from real world injury crashes (as collected by Dubai Police and the Roads & Transport Authority) over twelve years (1995 2006) were subject to macroanalysis in SPSS to identify the main issues over the past decade. 18,142 crashes involving 30,942 casualties and 48,960 vehicles were analysed at the outset. The following issues were among the main concerns: - High proportion of fatal crashes out of all injury crashes (13.5% compared to 1.4% in the UK); - Most fatal crashes involved a single vehicle hitting a pedestrian; - Most injury crashes involved a single vehicle; - Inconsiderate driving was the most common crash cause cited by the police. Countermeasures found in the literature to counteract these problems were then suggested for application and the estimated savings from applying them were calculated. Savings were quantified as either reductions in casualties or injury crashes. Furthermore, cost savings for the calculated reductions were estimated using existing UK crash costs due to the scarcity of UAE crash cost estimates. Calculation of the estimated improvement in safety if these countermeasures were applied retrospectively meant a reduction of 4,634 injury crashes and 1,555 casualties over the 12-year period with an estimated cost saving of approximately £368 million or 2.7 billion Dirhams. To refine this method more detailed data on crashes were required and collected from the dedicated crash investigation team files in Dubai Police for 2006 and part of 2007. This new dataset (300 crashes) was put into a purpose-built database with over 140 fields and subject to microanalysis to more accurately match the problems and interventions. Six interventions were matched to individual cases in the database where they would have positively altered the outcome. This process was verified by independent crash experts and investigators. The benefits from these six countermeasures were then weighted to calculate the benefits for the whole crash population over a year. Examples of specific interventions included guardrails along the roadside; grade-separated crossing facilities for pedestrians; Electronic Stability Control and speed cameras. The estimated total reduction in crashes was 2,412 annually with calculated savings of £40 million or 280 million Dirhams. This was the first time this geographical area was studied in such depth and detail to allow the calculation of benefits from interventions matched to known road safety issues. Various limitations were encountered such as the unavailability of GIS basemaps and the continuously changing infrastructure and population of Dubai. Numerous areas of further work were identified. Such work areas include hospital studies for collecting injury data to compare with police data; changing vehicle standards so that they are better suited to local crash types; the calculation of crash and injury costs based on local figures; vehicle fleet analysis for comparing different vehicle segments and exposure; and improved data collection and storage methods.

Various levels of research over the past three decades have concluded that children are harmed by constant changes to where they reside when they are removed from the care of their parents. Regardless of that, minimal research has been conducted to investigate this problem from the perspective of the social worker. This study explores the problem of placement instability among adolescent populations from the perspective of foster family agency social workers in Riverside County, California. Interviews with foster family agency social workers were conducted using a digital voice-recording device. The audio files were transcribed to text and thematically analyzed for relevant commonalities among participants. The data provided more detailed information regarding what the social workers believed to be the factors involved in placement instability. Four main categories were observed and explored in detail; trauma, inter-agency communication, mental health access and foster parent education were consistent themes of the data set. This research provides the groundwork for further research from people who work in a central role that is pivotal to lessening the instances of placement instability.

Background: There is no on-going information on the number, rate or circumstances of work-related fatal injury in Australia. This thesis reports on a study aimed to identify and describe all work-related fatalities that occurred in Australia during the four-year period 1989 to 1992, in order to make a significant contribution to the effectiveness of activity designed to prevent work-related traumatic death. Methods: A broad definition of work was used, with particular focus on workers and bystanders. The study also included the injury-related deaths of volunteers, students, persons performing home duties and persons fatally injured on farms but not due to obvious farm work. The data were obtained primarily from coronial files. Files were found for 99.7% of the deaths of interest. Detailed results are presented on the work-related deaths of workers, bystanders and persons fatally injured while engaged in home duties. The results for workers are also compared with those from an earlier study of work-related fatalities in Australia, which covered the years 1982 to 1984 inclusive. Other aspects of work-related deaths are considered in detail, including the effect of employment arrangements; their coverage by occupational health and safety and compensation agencies; their handling by the coronial system; the role of External Cause codes in identifying and monitoring work-related injury deaths; and the reliability and validity of the definitions used to classify work-related injury deaths. Results: There were 2,413 persons fatally injured while working or commuting during the study period (1,787 working; 626 commuting), with a rate of death for working persons of 5.5 per 100,000 persons per year. This compared to the rate of 6.7 for working deaths during 1982 to 1984, with just under half of the decline probably due to changes in the industry distribution of the workforce. Another 802 persons were fatally injured as a result of someone else’s work activity, and 296 persons aged 15 years and over were fatally injured while undertaking active tasks in an unpaid and informal capacity in their own home or in someone else’s home. Thirty-four percent of working deaths were not covered by either occupational health and safety (OHS) or compensation agencies. A consideration of External Cause codes for the period 1979 to 1997 inclusive suggested there was a yearly decrease in the rate of workplace deaths of 2.6% per year, with less than half of this change due to industry changes in the workforce. Deaths occurring in a small number of particular circumstances were found to pose classification problems. Conclusion: Fatal work-related trauma remains an important problem for the Australian community. By understanding how and why these deaths occur, appropriate steps can be taken to prevent similar incidents recurring. It is expected that the results reported here, and other information that has arisen from the study, will make an important contribution to developing this understanding and preventing the occurrence of work- related traumatic death in Australia.

ABSTRACT Professors repeatedly warn students against burnout throughout the years of schooling that is required to earn a credential or license to work with persons who suffer from a substance use disorder. Despite these many warnings, burnout amongst practitioners continues to occur. There has been considerable research done over the years on the phenomenon of practitioner burnout, its causes and how to prevent it. Substance use disorder practitioners’ challenges often include high caseloads, difficult cases and lack of self-care. The data collected through an electronic server Survey Monkey allowed for a quantitative cross-sectional analysis which focused on participants’ perceptions of the causes of burnout and methods used for self-care. Respondents were recruited from two substance use disorder treatment programs, participation was voluntary. The analysis highlighted that the survey participants (n=30) view self-care as an appropriate intervention against burnout. These findings present: underlying causes of burnout; effective self-care practices for practitioners who are suffering from burnout; and how practitioners with higher education viewed self-care differently. Among the goals of the research done in this project was to bring awareness to; underlying causes of burnout; solutions to prevent burnout and effective techniques currently being used by practitioners that contributes additional knowledge to social work’s knowledge on burnout and self-care methods for practitioners experiencing burnout symptoms.

South Africa is a labour-intensive industrially developing country. As a result, in excess of 200 000 workers suffer from musculoskeletal injuries in a year. Research is thus essential to develop more effective strategies in the reduction and rehabilitation of occupational musculoskeletal disorders within industry. It was the hypothesis of this study that by improving the physical work capacity of manual labourers, through participation in an occupation specific work-hardening programme, that the ergonomic stress index and therefore the occurrence of musculoskeletal injuries within industry, may be reduced. Twenty-five male Black and Coloured manual labourers volunteered to participate in this study. In addition to in situ task analyses, the subjects participated in cardiovascular and strength assessments in the laboratory, both pre- and post-participation in the ten-week work-hardening programme. The data were statistically analyzed in order to identify any significant • improvements in the workers' physical work capacity, as measured by cardiovascular, strength and perceptual responses, following the period of work-hardening. Two significant reductions were noted in measures of working heart rate together with significant improvements in grip strength and trunk strength tested at a velocity of 60°.sec·1 at the post-conditioning assessments. In conclusion, the ten-week work-hardening programme resulted in nominal improvements in all the cardiovascular measures and significant improvements in the subjects' strength performance. However, industrialists must recognise that this study dealt with only one aspect of reducing the ergonomic stress index at the workplace and realise that, in addition to this focus, it remains essential to design the task to fit the human operator.

On any given day almost 400,000 children in the United States are living in an out-of-home care placement due to government intervention. Federal law allows for substantial variance in state child welfare policy on a number of topics. These policy decisions, however, are understudied both in terms of the forces driving them and also the impacts the policies have on actual outcomes for children in care. Utilizing a unique panel data set comprised of thirteen child welfare policies that vary both between states and over time we examine how well redistributive theory (constituent, institutional, paternalistic and resource pressures) explains state policy decisions from 2004-2010. The results provide very little confidence that redistributive pressures are driving state variance, though there are some noteworthy patterns. Within the four categories of explanatory variables, it would seem that child welfare policies are much more sensitive to changes in the social factors associated with a paternalistic response (unmarried birth rate and program utilization) and resource pressures than to constituent or institutional characteristics. Subsequently, a series of hazard models were conducted for each possible discharge outcome, using child level data from the 2010 AFCARS foster care dataset, with primary interest in the influence of policy and state level factors. Policy-level predictors primarily had negative impacts on discharge outcomes for children. Exceptions include better outcomes for children in states with higher generosity of access, increased rates of adoption and aging out with higher ASFA timeline compliance, and more discharges to reunification and adoption with more flexible adoption policy. State level factors consistently showed strong influences on child outcomes. While increased unemployment was associated with worse child outcomes, all other state level factors considered were associated with positive discharge outcomes for children in out-of-home care. This research broadens the theoretical application of redistributive theory to a new policy arena and adds an additional layer of state level explanatory variables to the much-studied outcomes for children in out-of-home care. It establishes that children and families do not exist in a vacuum and that child welfare research must take broader state and policy factors into account for a complete picture.

Esta tese tem como finalidade propor um método de coleta, tratamento e análise de dados de acidentes de trânsito para aplicação no Brasil. Este método tem como um de seus objetivos reconhecer os fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência dos acidentes, visto que identificar as causas dos acidentes é fundamental na busca por soluções para o problema da acidentalidade. No Brasil as bases de dados de acidentes de trânsito são, em geral, estruturadas a partir dos registros policiais e carecem de informações adequadas para a análise da segurança viária. O método proposto neste trabalho permite registrar acidentes de modo a contemplar: as características do acidente, as circunstâncias do momento, a identificação e as características dos veículos e pessoas envolvidas. Além disso, o método permite relacionar essas informações com os fatores que contribuíram para a ocorrência dos acidentes. Nesse contexto, a criação de uma base de dados de acidentes e seus fatores contribuintes, vem suprir a carência de informações essenciais para o diagnóstico e encaminhamento de soluções adequadas para os problemas motivadores dos acidentes de trânsito. A proposta desta tese está baseada em uma abordagem que combina aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos, alinhada às melhores práticas internacionais na área de segurança viária. Como resultado do desenvolvimento do método, foram elaborados instrumentos de coleta de dados contendo um formulário, um manual e procedimentos para a coleta de dados. Como resultado da aplicação prática desses instrumentos, foi criada a estrutura de uma base de dados que permitiu a definição do método proposto para a análise das causas de acidentes de trânsito. Como meio de validar o método proposto, foi realizado um estudo aplicado e são apresentadas as análises de dados dos acidentes de trânsito observados.
This thesis has the purpose of presenting a method for collecting and processing data on traffic accidents to be applied in Brazil. This method aims to acknowledge the contributor factors for the occurrence of accidents, since identifying the causes of accidents is crucial on the search for effective solutions for the road safety problem. Traffic accidents database in Brazil are generally structured based on police reports, therefore lacking adequate information for the analyses of road safety. The method proposes a registry of the accidents comprising accident characteristics, scene circumstances, vehicle as well as involved people identification and characteristics. Moreover, it allows relating that information with the accident contributory factors. In this scenery, the creation of an accident database and its contributory factors emerge to supply the lack of essential information for the diagnosis and adequate solution for traffic accidents. This thesis’ proposal has an approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative aspects, seeking to level up to the best international practice on the road safety area. As a result of the development of the method, data collection instruments were elaborated: a form, a manual, and procedures for data collection. Besides, as a result of the practical application of these instruments, a database - which allowed the definition of the method proposed for analysis of the causes of traffic accidents - was created. As a mean of validation of the method, an applied study and the data analysis of the observed traffic accidents are presented.

Um dos temas atuais, principalmente na indústria da construção civil devido ao seu dinamismo, é o de minimizar os acidentes, sejam eles fatais ou não, pois esses eventos podem gerar custos de grandes proporções. É interessante observar que estudos realizados por Henrich (1959) e Bird (1969) não abordam os acidentes na indústria da construção civil de uma forma mais ampla, deixando, assim, uma lacuna. Barkokébas et al. (2003) abordam o tema sob o ponto de vista do custo do acidente. Observando dados do Ministério da Previdência Social (2007) - MPS, verificou-se que em 2006 no Brasil foram gastos 4,44 milhões de reais com acidentes não fatais em todos os setores industriais. Além disso, pode-se verificar nos dados do MPS (2007) que só em 2005 no estado de Pernambuco ocorreram 10.224 acidentes em todas as indústrias e que a construção civil foi responsável por 4,90% desse valor. Esta pesquisa identifica os profissionais que sofreram mais acidentes fatais na indústria da construção civil, mas também os pontos que precisam ser melhorados no setor de segurança e saúde nesse setor produtivo. O objetivo do estudo é identificar as causas dos acidentes fatais no setor da construção civil do estado de Pernambuco, no período de 2002 a 2006, através dos dados do Ministério do Trabalho de Pernambuco, para propor recomendações de caráter corretivo. Para isso, é realizado um levantamento qualitativo e quantitativo dos acidentes fatais da indústria da construção civil junto ao MTE, uma análise do modo de falha e efeito, para propor melhorias para as áreas em que ocorreu maior incidência desse tipo de evento. É interessante observar que no período de 5 (cinco) anos, os acidentes fatais tiveram como principais causas: queda de diferença de nível, choque elétrico, esmagamento/desmoronamento e impacto de materiais. Isso se deve a uma ausência ou a uma insuficiência de supervisão das atividades, a falta ou a inadequação de análise de tarefas, juntamente com outros fatores, que levaram à ocorrência de 37 acidentes fatais. Além disso, profissionais com pouco tempo na função na empresa sofreram um maior número de acidentes
One of the current themes within industry, particularly in civil construction, due to its dynamism, is how to minimize accidents, being fatal or otherwise, because in the event of these happening, it can be very costly. It is interesting to observe, that in relation to accidents, they are commented on in studies by Henrich in 1959 and Bird 1969, but that there is nothing specifically on civil construction. The closest to this area was the study caried out by Barkokébas et al. (2003) which comments on the cost of accidents. It can be observed from data from the Ministerio da Previdencia Social (2007), MPS that in 2006 R$ 4,44 million was paid to those who suffered accidents. In addition, it can be verified that in 2005 in the state of Pernambuco there 10.224 accidents in all industries, and that civil construction was responsible for 4,9% of this total. This research is of importance to civil construction to show, not only the numbers of professionals who suffer accidents, but also the points that need to research is to improved in the area of health and safety in this productive sector. The objective of this research is to indentify the causes of fatal accidents in the civil construction sector in the state of Pernambuco, in the period 2002 to 2006, through data from the Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego, to propose recomendations to reduce these tragedies. To achieve this quantitative and qualitative surveys of fatal acidents in the civil construction industry will be carried out together with MTE. After these surveys na analysis in the type of failure and the effect of event wil be carried out. Looking at the 5 (five) year periad in the civil construction sector, it can be seen that due to the lack or insufificient supervisin of activities, a lack or unsuitable analysis of the taskc together with other factors, 37 fatal accidents have ocorred during this period. Other than this, profissional with little time in the job suffer the most number of accidents

Problem: Stress at the workplace has become an increasing phenomenon due to external factors such as technological advancement, changes in the economy of a country which might lead to becoming redundant and so on. Stress can be considered as an inevitable condition at least at one point in time or another; however it can also be minimized to the extent that the productivity and health of the employee is maintained which could lead to a productive organization. Stress is also bound to occur in multinational companies where operation is global and employees have different cultural background.Purpose: Our purpose for this study is to have a clear understanding of the causes of stress at a multinational company such as Volvo Trucks AB Umeå, and how Stress by the employees as well as the company’s management are managed or handled.Methodology: This thesis has been made using qualitative approach, with a descriptive and exploratory case study approach. The data used are collected through conducting semi-structured interviews with 6 different employees from Volvo Trucks AB, Umeå one of whom works as a therapist at the company.Findings: The causes of stress at the work place range from personal problems to work overload, physical working environment, work situation and conflicts among colleagues and managers. Many employees struggle with stress, in worst cases leading to uncertainties and severe impairments on health and performance. The main situations that generate stress are likely uncontrollable, unpredictable, and some are not known. But alternatively there are several resources available like personal awareness in coping skills. For example: time management, assertiveness, ways to higher up self-confidence and so on. Management can also utilize some resources for reducing the stress level of the employees by providing services and facilities such as health facilities at the company, giving easy and on time access to therapist and also having free time activities and entertainment. Stress is related between the employee and the employer as the performance of the employee is affected by his/her stress level which intern affects the company’s productivity. Therefore stress management is Vital for both. The most successful stress management mechanisms found was time management, sharing of feelings and leisure activities.

Purpose of study: The purpose of this study was to explore the injury on duty prevention and management strategies that are currently used in different higher education settings. The study intended to shed light on specific areas of policy and practice discrepancies related to the disjuncture between employee interactions, regulated directives and organizational goals. Aims and objectives: One of the aims was to determine the types of work-related injuries that occur in HEI’s by verifying the injuries reported on Employers Reports of an Accident. A second aim was to examine strategies that have been put in place to prevent injuries in the workplace by reviewing policies and procedures related to injury prevention. The final aim was to examine systems in-place to manage occupational injuries by looking at staff health or employee wellness service flow charts or models used at the HEIs. Population and sample: Permanently employed personnel at two HEI’s in the Western Cape were participants in a multiple case study. The sample units consisted of health and safety representatives, human resources, maintenance personnel, estates and custodial, traffic services and departmental managers. Methodology: This study applied a mixed-method using a multiple case study design as an approach to the enquiry. Methods of data collection: Documents, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews were be used to obtain data to answer the research questions. Process of analysis: Qualitative and quantitative themes will be analysed in a matrix. The three data sources were triangulated to validate the findings. Benefits of the study: Injury prevention benefits the employer and employee in many ways, including increased employee performance leading to increased productivity as well as cost savings. Main findings: Injuries that were reported are mostly musculoskeletal injuries; however other types of injuries may not be reported due to under reporting of injuries being common in this setting. Health and safety training and knowledge sharing was not well supported and injury prevention strategies were not optimized. The application of health and safety policies and procedures were not adequately communicated, enforced or monitored. Staff health and employee wellness strategies operate independently and do not facilitate a coordinated response to manage occupational injuries in this setting. Lack of monitoring, organizational support, training and knowledge sharing and communication were the four main challenges to injury prevention management systems. Conclusions: The implementation of an effective injury prevention and management programme could benefit the organization and translate into increased operational value (organizational quality). Key words: Higher Education Institutions, Occupational Injury prevention, Management of occupational injury.

Este estudo diz respeito às identificações de acidentes de trabalhos atendidos pelo Serviço Integrado de Atendimento ao Trauma em Emergência de Londrina, PR. Seu objetivo geral foi descrever o perfil da população vítima desses acidentes de trabalho. Apoia-se em método quantitativo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas telefônicas às vítimas ou familiares identificadas via relatórios dos hospitais de atendimento das referidas vítimas. Os dados foram analisados com apoio do programa Epi-Info 3.3. Foram realizadas 1312 entrevistas, sendo encontrados 465 (35,4%) casos considerados como acidentes de trabalho. O perfil da vítima de acidente de trabalho (AT) identificado na população atendida pelo SIATE em Londrina foi: jovem, de sexo masculino, sendo 21,9% do sexo feminino; predominantemente inserido no mercado formal de trabalho como empregado, embora 17,6% estejam no mercado informal e 14,4% atuem como autônomos. Dos 300 trabalhadores inseridos no mercado formal, 38,3% referem emissão de CAT, o que sugere subnotificação em 61,7% do total de acidentes de trabalho ocorridos na população vinculada ao seguro de acidente do trabalho. Nenhum dos acidentes de trabalho identificados neste estudo foi notificado ao SUS, ou seja, em registro no SINAN ou SIM. A maioria dos AT ocorreu no espaço da rua, sendo cerca de 65% dos casos acidentes de trajeto. As motocicletas estavam envolvidas em 81,1% dos casos relacionados a acidentes no trânsito. A maior parte desse grupo de acidentes também foi relacionada ao trajeto, evidenciando o uso de motos como meio de transporte e não ferramenta de trabalho. Das seis vítimas fatais, quatro estavam relacionadas ao trânsito e duas relacionadas a agressões por arma de fogo. Esses achados indicam que, antes de ter resolvido o problema da prevenção dos acidentes ocorridos no interior dos locais de trabalho, os envolvidos com a...
This study concerns identification of work accidents attended by the Integrated Emergency Trauma Care Center at Londrina, PR, Brazil. Its general objective was to describe the population profile of victims of these work accidents by a quantitative method. The data were collected by telephone interviews of victims or family members identified by hospital reports on victim care. The data were analyzed with the software Epi-Info 3.3. A total of 1312 interviews were conducted, of which 465 (35.4%) were found to be work accidents. The work accident (WA) victim profile identified in the population attended to by SIATE in Londrina was: young, male, with 21.9% being female; predominantly employed on the formal market, although 17.6% work at informal jobs and 14.4% are self-employed. Only 38.3% of the 300 cases from the formal market presented information indicating accident report (CAT) release, suggesting 61.7% underreporting of total work accidents that actually occurred in the population linked to work accident insurance. None of the work accidents identified in this study was reported to SUS, in other words, registered with SINAN (Injury Reporting Information System) or SIM (Mortality Information System). The majority of WA occurred in street space and comprised about 65% of commuting accidents. Motorcyclists were involved in 81.1% of commuting accident cases. There were more motorcycle accidents involving people who used them to go or return from work (motorcycle commuters from various professions) than with personsusing the motorcycles as work tools (moto-taxi drivers, couriers, etc.). Of six fatalities, four were related to commuting and two to firearm attacks. These findings indicate that before the problem of preventing workplace accidents has been resolved, those involved with Workers Health must undertake a new challenge: opening a new front in the struggle to prevent work accid ...

Os acidentes de trânsito no Brasil são a causa de grande morbimortalidade anualmente, gerando dor, sofrimento e perda de qualidade de vida imputada às vítimas, aos seus familiares e à sociedade como um todo, além de custos econômicos provocados ao setor saúde e previdência. Dessa maneira, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de acidentes de transporte terrestre em Pernambuco, utilizando microdados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2013. Este trabalho é um estudo descritivo, de base populacional e corte transversal com abordagem quantitativa; para o processamento de dados, foi utilizado o programa SPSS versão 20.0. Através dessa pesquisa observou-se principalmente que a concentração de acidentes se dá com motocicleta como meio de transporte. Predominante os homens são mais acometidos, na faixa etária entre os 18 e 35 anos, mas em alguns casos o intervalo de idade entre 36 e 59 anos o percentual de vítimas fica similar; a relação do número de acidentes entre homens e mulheres pode estar atrelada a alguns fatores como homens utilizarem com maior frequência carros e motos, além de os homens beberem mais frequentemente e intensamente do que as mulheres, Sendo relevante destacar a necessidade de estudar o perfil epidemiológico dos acidentados como medida coadjuvante na formulação de estratégias de enfrentamento desse problema de saúde pública, pois os acidentes de trânsito geram como consequência uma perda anual de capital humano para o país, custos hospitalares, custos para sociedade em geral, além de custos pessoais e familiares.
Traffic accidents in Brazil are the cause of high morbidity and mortality annually, causing pain, suffering and loss of quality of life attributed to the victims, their families and society as a whole, as well as economic costs caused to the health sector and welfare. Thus, this study aims to identify the epidemiological profile of victims of road accidents in Pernambuco, using micro data from the National Health Survey (PNS) 2013. This work is a descriptive, a population-based and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach; for data processing we used the SPSS version 20.0. Through this research, it was observed mainly that the concentration of accidents happens with the motorcycle as a means of transport; Predominantly men are more affected, aged between 18 and 35 years, but in some cases the age range between 36 and 59 years, the percentage of victims is similar; the ratio of the number of accidents between men and women may be linked to factors such as men using cars and motorcycles more often, and men drinking more frequently and intensively than women, It is important to highlight the need to study the epidemiological profile of the victims as a supporting measure in the development of strategies of coping this public health problem, since traffic accidents generate results in an annual loss of human capital for the country, hospital costs, and costs for society in general, as well as personal and family costs.

Ombordanställda i svenska rederier har under många år legat högre i olycksstatistiken än anställda i land. Detta problemförhållande bygger vårt examensarbete till stor del på.

Detta examensarbete syftar till att undersöka hur de svenska rederierna arbetar för att förhindra arbetsrelaterade olyckor ombord.

Arbetet har utförts med metodtriangulering. Vi har intervjuat fyra svenska rederier angående deras arbete med arbetsrelaterade olyckor. Utifrån de svar vi inhämtat från rederierna så utformade vi en enkät som 10st ombordanställda fick svara på.

Resultatet av vårt arbete visade att rederierna känner till problemet och att deras förebyggande arbete till stor del bygger på att öka inrapporteringen av olyckor och tillbud från fartygen. Främst med nya inrapporteringsprogram som skall förenkla inrapporteringsproceduren. Från de enkätsvar vi fick så kunde vi se att det finns ett stort mörkertal i inrapporteringen av olyckor ombord.

Employees on Swedish shipping companies have for several years topped the accident statistics when compared with land based jobs.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the Swedish shipping companies are working to prevent work related accidents.

The study was made through interviews with four Swedish shipping companies.

And a questionnaire answered by 10 onboard employees from Swedish shipping companies.

The result of our study shows that the companies are working with preventing accidents onboard mainly through different measures to increase the reporting frequency from the ships to the office. In the answers we received from the questionnaires we could see that the reporting frequency on board is poor.

Transportation of oil and gas by the Sea characterizes challenges from a safety viewpoint. In this type of transportation, different sizes of special tankers carrying oil and gas. The marine transportation of these scarce natural riches is involved with risks and hazards, which may lead to many losses; for instance, wasting oil and gas, injuries of people, damaging ships and properties, and damaging environment. The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the risks, hazards, and accidents during transportation of oil and gas (mainly Crude Oil, liquefied petroleum gas, and Liquefied natural gas) by the Sea with concentrating on transport safety. Hence, a better understanding of these risks and hazards can contribute to decrease of addressed losses.This study is carried out on risks associated with maritime transportation of oil and gas starting with describing the general casual chain (dealing with causes, incidents, accidents and consequences/causalities), continuing with describing risk analysis techniques (including event tree analysis and fault tree analysis) and risk control measures/options, and finally implementing aforesaid investigations on real data from two areas; namely UK territorial waters and the Baltic Sea.In this study, the results of analyzing data from 1991 to 2010 in UK territorial waters revealed that collision and grounding were two most common accidents in terms of crude oil tankers, LPG and LNG carriers in which 44% of all accidents were equally divided between collision and grounding. In this case, investigation on data from 2004 to 2010 in the Baltic Sea regarding tankers with cargo types of crude oil, oil, oil product and gases also repeated the same findings in that collision and grounding shared the biggest proportion of accidents with 50% and 34% respectively. Analysis of data in UK territorial waters provided that human factor was the main reason behind accidents with 46% followed by technical factor with 39%. Human factor and technical factor recognized also as the main causes of accidents in the Baltic Sea with 33% and 25% respectively. Regarding this subject, human error recognized as the chief culprit and failures in part of design & construction was the second main initial causes of accidents in terms of both human and technical factors. The results of analyzing records from the Baltic Sea also provided that whilst human factor shared the biggest proportion of causes behind accidents, technical factor was the only cause of accidents contributing to all types of accidents. Findings are useful from safety outlook as if specifying accidents and causes of accidents during the Sea transportation of oil and gas.

As the staffing agency business is rapidly growing and suffering from accidents resulting in higher sick leave than in other businesses, it is of great interest to analyze which responsibilities prevail between the customer companies and the staffing agencies, when it comes to working environment for hired staff. The purpose of this essay is to clarify the distribution of responsibilities between customer companies and staffing agencies, regarding working environment. I would also like to analyze which consequences this distribution of responsibilities may lead to. To be able to answer these questions, I have chosen to use the legal dogmatic method together with the sociology of law method. I have studied legal sources, literature and also interviewed three persons who are active within the staffing agency business; one person from the Swedish Work Environment Authority, one person from the employers’ side and one person from the employees’ side. The conclusion of my survey is that the SAM-responsibility is divided equally between staffing agencies and customer companies, since the customer company who hires staff is equated with an employer. The employer must also ensure that there is an organized work adaptation and rehabilitation function within the company. According to Working environment regulation, the employer is obliged to immediately report accidents or other harmful incidents to the Swedish Work Environment Authority. Apart from the SAM-responsibility the customer company must also ensure that the hired staff takes necessary protective actions, to be able to safely perform their work and also to give the hired staff access to common facilities under the same conditions as for the other employees.

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivos identificar características pessoais e profissionais de acidentados do trabalho e verificar seus conhecimentos e opiniões sobre segurança no ambiente de trabalho, serviços prestados pelo Centro de Reabilitação Profissional do INSS em São Paulo (CRP-INSS-SP) e direitos previdenciários. Estudou-se 105 trabalhadores acidentados que estavam em programa de reabilitação profissional no CRP-INSS-SP. Como instrumento de medida utilizou-se um questionário estruturado. Os resultados revelaram que os trabalhadores na sua maioria, estavam no seguro por acidente do trabalho há mais de 24 meses. As condições de segurança no ambiente de trabalho eram insatisfatórias entretanto, não foram apontadas como causa principal na ocorrência de acidente do trabalho e doença profissional. Os trabalhadores demonstraram conhecer seus direitos previdenciários, mas não os serviços de reabilitação profissional a que estavam submetidos. Opinaram como muito bom o atendimento no CRP-INSS-SP.
The objective of this work was to identify personal and professional characteristics of those stricken with working accidents, checking their knowledges and opinions about safety conditions in the working place, and the services rended by CRP-INSS-SP and providence rights. 105 workers that suffered working accidents were studied were a rehabilitation professional program at CRP-INSS-SP. A questionnaire was used as instrument of measure. The results revealed that mosty workers were apart due to working accidents for about twenty-four months. The safety conditions at the working places were poor but was not pointed out as main cause of working accidents and professional disease. The workers showed to know their previdence rigths but they did not know the professional rehabilitation programme which they were submitted to. They considered the work at CRP-INSS-SP very good.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A study on intention to leave and efficiency that was conducted in the healthcare industry reported that an employee contemplating leaving an organisation cuts corners and compromises quality (Waldman, Kelly, Arora & Smith, 2004). In other words, employees with high intention to leave are more likely to disobey rules and procedures. Swain (2006) further argued that companies must weigh up the untold losses involved with an employee who has little to no loyalty towards an organisation, or no respect for the company’s equipment, against recruitment and development costs. It was therefore argued that a combination of high turnover intention and a diminished level of organisational commitment could influence an employee’s attitude towards safety procedures and, as a result, lead to an increase in accidents (Graham & Nafukho, 2010). This study utilised an extensive literature review on work climate, job satisfaction, organisational commitment, turnover intentions and accident rates and a conceptual model of safe driving dynamics in trucking to illustrate the notion that truck drivers with a diminished level of organisational commitment and the intention to leave may experience higher accident rates. A South African retail group made all their drivers available for the study, i.e. the entire population. The raw data was obtained through self-administered pencil-and-paper questionnaires. A response rate of 50% was achieved. Using Partial Least Squares analysis, the study found all three mindsets of organisational commitment to predict turnover intention. The practical implications of these findings could assist management in the improvement of an array of work behaviours such as job performance, work attendance and organisational citizenship, and decrease turnover rate. The study could not find any significant support for the predictive effect of turnover intention on risky driving behaviour. Future researchers, however, are encouraged to develop a model that could assist Human Resource professionals in the understanding, development, and implementation of interventions to increase organisational commitment, reduce intention to leave, actual turnover, and, consequently, costly truckload accidents.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die bevindings van ’n studie oor intensies tot bedanking en doeltreffendheid wat in die gesondheidsorg industrie onderneem is, het aangedui dat ’n werknemer wat oorweeg om ’n organisasie te verlaat, die werk afskeep en gehalte in gedrang bring (Waldman, Kelly, Arora & Smith, 2004). Werknemers met sterk intensies tot bedanking is dus meer geneig om riglyne en vasgestelde prosedures te verontagsaam. Verder het Swain (2006) aangevoer dat maatskappye die onberekende verliese verbonde aan ’n werknemer wat geen respek vir die maatskappy se toerusting koester nie, moet opweeg teenoor werwing en ontwikkellingskostes. Daarvolgens is aangevoer dat ’n kombinasie van hoë intensies tot bedanking en ’n verlaagde vlak van organisasieverbondenheid ’n werknemer se houding teenoor veiligheidsprosedures kan beïnvloed en gevolglik tot ’n toename in ongelukke kan lei (Graham & Nafukho, 2010). Die huidige navorsingstudie het van ’n uitgebreide literatuurstudie met betrekking tot werksklimaat, werkstevredenheid, organisasieverbondenheid en ongeluksyfers, en ’n konseptuele model van veilige bestuursdinamika in vragmotorvervoer, gebruik gemaak om die idee dat vragmotorbestuurders met ’n verminderde vlak van organisasieverbondenheid en die intensie om te bedank ‘n hoër ongeluksyfer kan beleef. ’n Suid-Afrikaanse kleinhandel groep het al hul vragmotorbestuurders (dus die hele populasie) vir die studie beskikbaar gestel. Die roudata is met behulp van self-geadministreerde potlood-en-papier vraelyste verkry. ’n Responskoers van 50% is verkry. Met die gebruik van parsiële kleinste kwadrate analise, het die studie bevind dat intensies tot bedanking deur al drie ingesteldhede van organisasieverbondenheid voorspel word. Die praktiese implikasies van hierdie bevindinge kan bestuur help om ’n verskeidenheid werksgedrag, soos werkprestasie, werkbywoning en organisatoriese gemeenskapsgedrag, te verbeter en personeel-omsetafname te bewerkstellig. Die studie het nie daarin geslaag om beduidende ondersteuning vir die voorspellingseffek van intensies tot bedanking op riskante bestuursgedrag te vind nie. Toekomstige navorsers word egter aangemoedig om ’n model te ontwikkel wat menslike hulpbron-bestuurders sal help met die verstaan, ontwikkeling en implementering van ingrypings wat organisasieverbondenheid verhoog, sodat intensies tot bedanking en personeel-omset verlaag, en daardeur ook duur vragongelukke verminder word.
