Full textAbstract:
The reported accidents data on sites is essential to measure the effectiveness of any road safety policy. If an accident remains unreported, the vital information about the characteristics of the accident will be lost. The choice of appropriate safety measures may, in turn, be adversely affected by the loss of the data. This current study is aimed to determine the reasons for the underreporting of accidents in Malaysia. Random samples comprising 2000 individuals were interviewed in person and data on their demographic background and experience involved in accidents were recorded. Out of 1422 accidents, 662 accidents were recorded as unreported accidents. The findings indicate that in general, Malays aged between 60 and 69, living in rural area, who are single and are motorcyclists tend not to report the accidents. Â

Shipping, as an important part of the global supply chain, has always been quite sensitive to maritime accidents. Fatality and injury are important metrics indicating an accident’s severity. Understanding the driving factors of fatality and injury outcomes of maritime accidents can help to improve supply chain security. Based on maritime accident data obtained from the Lloyd’s List Intelligence, this paper identifies accident-prone sea areas through kernel density estimation (KDE) and selects two of the areas to conduct a comparative study on factors contributing to fatality and injury outcomes of maritime accidents through zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) and elastic analysis. The results show that collision and ship age significantly impact the number of fatalities and injuries. Specifically, collision and ship age have greater impacts on fatality and injury outcomes of accidents that occurred in the English Channel and North Sea. Whether the accident occurs in ports and whether the accident causes a total loss have more significant impacts on the fatality and injury outcomes of accidents in the Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The research results can potentially support the reduction of fatalities and injuries in maritime accident and help to manage maritime risk.

Abstract Road accidents have presently become an major social worry in India which are increasing year by year. These road accidents lead to loss of human life, injuries and property damage which is very serious concern. As per the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): 2030 relating to transport infrastructure provision of access to safe, accessible, and sustainable transport is the need of the hour. Therefore, road safety becomes very important issues in today’s scenario. In this paper, road safety analysis was done on NH-103 stretch to identify accident/crash black spots. The accidental data was collected from police stations and visual surveys on two lane NH-103 stretch of 58 km. The analysis has been done by using ranking and severity method, accident severity index (ASI) method and accidental density method. and accidental black spots were indentified. It has been found that 6 accidental crash black spots have been identified namely BS-1, BS-2, BS-3, BS-4, BS-5, and BS-6. The reasons for accidents in these blackspots have been traced to suggest counter measures for reduction in number of accidents on this stretch.

Full textAbstract:
The fire accident of petroleum storage and transportation has the characteristics of difficult disposal, wide range of influence, and a long-term hazard. Many derivative accidents or secondary accidents caused in the emergency process show that there are some potential risk sources in the process of accident emergency disposal. Effectively identifying these potential risk sources is the key for the active protective design in advance, and it is a minimum cost mean to prevent and reduce accident harm. In the paper, from the perspective of analyzing the nature of accident’s development and evolution process, the causal relationship between events is studied based on the accident-causing theory. The event causal chain is built in according with the order of event occurrence. The risk sources of accident are mined and identify from the node of event chain, and the hierarchical identification method oriented accident’s risk sources is established. For accident’s risk sources, the possible design measures in advance can be given from the perspective of principle design, structural design and control design. For design measure’s risk sources in emergency process can be mined by using man-human engineering method, and the graded risk sources identification method oriented secondary accidents is established. Combining the two methods, the hierarchical risk source identification method connected with event causal chain is put forward so as to effectively identify these potential risk sources in emergency process. Finally, oil pipeline explosion accident of dalian’s xinggang harbor on July 16, 2010 is taken as a case to verify the feasibility of proposed method.

Every year the number of vehicles in Indonesia is increasing; this is also directly proportional to the accidents that occur. With the increasing number of victims of vehicle accidents, serious handling is needed. The average number of accident victims who die in Indonesia is three people every hour due to road accidents. Therefore, serious and fast post-accident handling is needed to reduce the number of fatalities due to accidents. The tool's purpose is to maximize post-accident handling, so research is carried out to make an internet-based vehicle accident information tool. The tool that is made can detect the accident's location to speed up post-accident handling using the internet with the latest location information sent and photos of the driver's last condition after the accident. The research method used in this research is Research and Development (R&D) in designing internet-based vehicle accident information tools as a communication medium for sending data, telegram, social media applications, and web servers are used as vehicle monitoring simulations. The accident information system is designed to use a vibration sensor as a trigger and an accelerometer sensor to detect the degree of vehicle tilt. Tests were carried out on tools made and applied directly to vehicles by changing the slope of the vehicle as an accident simulation. The information tool can send the location and photos of the driver's current condition after the accident simulation is detected to telegram and the web server.

BackgroundMortality, including suicide and accidents, is elevated in self-harm populations. Although risk factors for suicide following self-harm are often investigated, rarely have those for accidents been studied. Our aim was to compare risk factors for suicide and accidents.MethodA prospective cohort (n=30 202) from the Multicentre Study of Self-harm in England, 2000–2007, was followed up to 2010 using national death registers. Risk factors for suicide (intentional self-harm and undetermined intent) and accidents (narcotic poisoning, non-narcotic poisoning, and non-poisoning) following the last hospital presentation for self-harm were estimated using Cox models.ResultsDuring follow-up, 1833 individuals died, 378 (20.6%) by suicide and 242 (13.2%) by accidents. Independent predictors of both suicide and accidents were: male gender, age ⩾35 years (except accidental narcotic poisoning) and psychiatric treatment (except accidental narcotic poisoning). Factors differentiating suicide from accident risk were previous self-harm, last method of self-harm (twofold increased risks for cutting and violent self-injury versus self-poisoning) and mental health problems. A risk factor specific to accidental narcotic poisoning was recreational/illicit drug problems, and a risk factor specific to accidental non-narcotic poisoning and non-poisoning accidents was alcohol involvement with self-harm.ConclusionsThe similarity of risk factors for suicide and accidents indicates common experiences of socio-economic disadvantage, life problems and psychopathology resulting in a variety of self-destructive behaviour. Of factors associated with the accidental death groups, those for non-narcotic poisoning and other accidents were most similar to suicide; differences seemed to be related to criteria coroners use in reaching verdicts. Our findings support the idea of a continuum of premature death.

Background: Occupational accidents in developing countries like Pakistan are obvious due to poor occupational health safety infrastructure. Objective: This retrospective study aimed to analyze the industrial accidents in factories of Pakistan during 1993-2009. Methods and Material: An index value calculation method used to investigate the trends of occupational accidents. Accident rate (103), fatal accident rate (105), and non-fatal accident rate (103) were also calculated. Pakistan Statistical Year Books published by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) used as data source.Results: Data of total 10330 industrial accidents analyzed and decreasing accident rate found with average 3.1 accident per 103 factory workers. Fatal accident increased with an average of 23 fatal accidents per 105 factories workers. Regarding the severity of industrial accidents, minor accidents found at 74% followed by serious (18%) and fatal accidents (8%). Decreased trends of index values and accident rates can associate with the increased human development index of Pakistan, but increased fatal accidents in factories and under-reporting are major areas of concern for safety stakeholders. Conclusions: Despite industrial accidents decreased in factories but more in depth studies with more recent data about the root causes of accidents can be useful to draw a true picture of occupational accidents in Pakistan. Improved social security system in Pakistan can be helpful to the exact recording of occupational accidents data.

Full textAbstract:
A work accident is an accidental event in the employment relationship, including diseases of the working relationship, the accident that happened on the way go to work, and coming home in the usual way. Work accidents can be experienced by sugar farmers. In Banyumas Regency, there are about 26.580 Sugar farmers. Based on Kesra Setda Banyumas Regency, from 2017 to November 2019 there were 323 cases of sugar farmers accidents, with 236 disabilities and 87 deaths. The purpose is to analyze the risk factors of work accidents consisting of behavioral and environmental factors. The method is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 200 people in Cilongok Districts. Data analysis includes univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. The results show that behavioral factors significantly associated with work accidents are breakfast status (p = 0,010) and unhealthy conditions (p = 0,002). Environmental factors significant to work accidents are past medical history (p = 0.000) and protein adequacy (p = 0,000). Recommendations for this research are socialization about the importance of breakfast and paying attention to the body condition before climbing, also training energy consumption diet of protein corresponding to the workload.

Full textAbstract:
Road accidents are major causes of injuries and fatalities worldwide and a significant public health concern. This paper includes a comprehensive analysis of road accidents on the road section from Sanga to Dhulikhel of Kavrepalanchwok district to identify trends of accidents, causes contributing to accidents and identifying the accident black spots and ranking accident black spots based on the Weighted Severity Index and Accident Severity Index. The study uses a data-driven approach using accident data obtained from the district police office, statistical analysis and weighted Severity Index and Accident Severity Index to observe road accident patterns. This study focuses on accident analysis to find out the spatial distribution of accidents, highlight accident peak times, accident black spots and their ranking. The various factors contributing to road accidents related to driver behaviour, vehicle condition, pedestrian behaviour, and environmental condition were explored and statistical analysis are done to determine accident likelihood and severity which are very helpful to identify accident-prone areas. There is a noteworthy pattern in the accident records in the past four fiscal years. Overall, fatal accidents have decreased over the years but serious accidents have increased. The number of minor incidents has also shown some variation. Males had more accidents than females. It is clear that the male percentage significantly outnumber the female comprising 81.9%, while females make up only 10.1%. It was observed that the 26 to 56 age group is a more vulnerable. The relatively low percentages of accidents occurred during morning and late evening. The accident frequency significantly rises from the late morning through the early afternoon with peak frequency in the late afternoon. It was observed that light vehicles account for 25%, tipper and other vehicles account for 19%, two wheeler accounts for 20% and vehicle and pedestrian accounts for 36% of the total accidents recorded. This study suggests evidence-based recommendations for accident prevention, infrastructure improvement, public awareness programs and law enforcement strategies to reduce road accidents.

Abstract: Nowadays accidents are increasing, hence many rules and regulations are proposed by the government to reduce the accident rate. Accidents are unplanned events that result in injury as well as sometimes accident leads to death also. Reasons for these accidents are the rider is not wearing a helmet as well as riding and being drunk. In this paper, an effective technology of Smart Helmet using the Internet of Things (IoT) is being introduced which helps to reduce these problems. One MQ-3 gas Sensor is used which can detect whether the bike rider is alcoholic or not. If the bike rider is alcoholic, then the MQ-3 sensor detects it and the system goes off. The bike rider’s engine will start only when the rider is wearing a helmet. A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to keep safe the head from injuries. A smart helmet can detect the accident's locations and send text messages to family members by using GPS and a GSM module. This survey is related to smart helmets to avoid accidents. Smart helmet system helps to provide safety and security to two-wheeler riders

Background. Most research has indicated that neuroticism (or trait anxiety) is associated with only negative outcomes. Such a common, heritable and variable trait is expected to have beneficial as well as detrimental effects. We tested the hypothesis that trait anxiety in childhood reduces the risk of dying from accidental causes in early adult life.Method. A longitudinal, population-based, birth cohort study of 4070 men and women born in the UK in 1946. Trait anxiety as judged by teachers when the participants were 13 and 15 years old, and the neuroticism scale of a Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI) when the participants were 16 years old. Outcomes were deaths, deaths from accidents, non-fatal accidents, and non-fatal accidents requiring medical intervention.Results. Adolescents with low trait anxiety had higher rates of accident mortality to age 25 [low anxiety at 13, hazard ratio (HR) 5·9, low anxiety at 15, HR 1·8]. Low trait anxiety in adolescence was associated with decreased non-accidental mortality after age 25 (low anxiety at 13, HR 0; low anxiety at 15, HR 0·7; low neuroticism at 16, HR 0·7).Conclusions. High trait anxiety measured in adolescence is associated with reduced accidents and accidental death in early adulthood but higher rates of non-accidental mortality in later life.

Abstract: As the population is increasing day by day the number of vehicles is also increasing. As the number of vehicles is increasing, the number of accidents also increases. Analysis of previous data indicates that 66% of the accidents occur due to human error and 33% due to road parameters such as road and vehicle interaction, other road users, and environmental factors. Road safety has recently become a major concern in most modern societies. The identification of sites (black spots) that are more dangerous from an accident point of view can help in better scheduling road safety policies. The study includes the collection of accident data and prioritizing the accident-prone locations by using the Weighted Severity Index (WSI) method. This study includes the identification of Accidental Black Spots and improving these Accidental Black Spots by using ATMS. This project emphasizes accident studies on the National Highway-216A (Diwancheruvu to Siddantham) in East Godavari District, State of Andhra Pradesh, India. So the main aim of this study is, therefore, to identify the major accident black spots on National Highway -16 and mitigation of Accidental Black Spots by using Advanced Traffic Management System. Keywords: Accident, National Highway, Black Spots, Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), Weighted Severity Index (WSI).

Full textAbstract:
A large number of people meet with an accident everyday around the world. One of the leading causes of death is traffic accidents. The reasons behind India's rising number of road accidents contribute to bad driving behavior, poor road design and infrastructure, lack of enforcement of traffic laws. The post accidental investigation report is very important to know the actual reason of collision for the concerned parties and the insurance company and the police. The proposed work effectively extracts interpretable features describing complex driving patterns. It will provide analytical report of the accidents to various parties involved in process. This work analyzes the type and cause of accident. The experiment has been simulated using on board diagnostic II (OBD II) and smart phone accelerometer for post accidental analysis of collision. As the electronic control unit (ECU) does not provide accelerometer sensor, so the smart phone accelerometer has been utilized in conjunction with another parameter of OBD II device. The gravitational force (G-force) values observed from accelerometer sensor along the different axes and speed, acceleration, fuel consumption rate, and are retrieved from OBD II device. The result shows that the parameters recorded are very helpful in finding the actual accidental status of the vehicle.

Full textAbstract:
In the modern world, where more and more vehicles appear every day, the issue of traffic safety is becoming more acute. The most prospective method of traffic safety management, on our opinion, is the analysis of statistical data on road accidents (hereinafter accidents), which allows to determine the accident levele, causes of accidents, evaluate the effectiveness of implemented measures to improve traffic safety and more. As the main task of traffic safety ensuring is to reduce accident level and severity of the accidents consequences, and especially to reduce accidents with fatalities to a minimum, the analysis of accident statistics data plays a key role and is an integral part of a comprehensive approach to solve the issue of the traffic safety management. Qualitative analysis of accidents by various indicators allows determining the main causes that impact on the occurrence of accidents and the severity of their consequences. This article considers the formation of characteristics of seasonal changes in accident level on the network of state roads of Ukraine. The study allows identifying the features and patterns of annual dynamics of road accidents with the definition of monthly maximum and determining the features of seasonal stability of accident level indexes. Taking into account the seasonal variability of the accident level allows rationally planning the activities of transport organizations directed on preventing road accidents and reducing the severity of their consequences. Keywords: accident level, analysis of seasonal changes of accident level, traffic safety, statistics of road accidents.

One of the most common causes of death is auto accidents. The worst thing that may happen to a road user is a traffic accident, despite the fact that they happen regularly. The worst part is that we fail to learn from our on-the-road errors. Most people who use roads regularly are extremely familiar with the fundamental guidelines and safety procedures that should be followed, but it is only their own negligence that results in accidents and wrecks. Accidents and crashes are primarily caused by human error. Here are some examples of normal human actions that result in accidents. 1. Driving too fast; 2. Driving while intoxicated; 3. Distracting the driver; 4. Running red lights; 5. Avoid utilizing safety equipment, such as seatbelts and helmets; 6. Driving erratically and overtaking improperly in order to save lives in a traffic collision, we’re going to construct an Arduino-based car accident alert system that combines GPS, GSM, and an accelerometer. If the accelerometer detects an abrupt shift in the vehicle’s axis, the GSM module alerts you and communicates the location of the accident to your cell phone. The GPS module’s latitude and longitude are utilized to pinpoint the accident’s location, which is provided as a Google Map link. The message also contains the vehicle’s speed in knots.

To assist safety practitioners in the work of prioritizing preventative activities based on the stage of civil industry, it is necessary to identify the most common causes of accidents in the civil sector. Reports from official accident investigations are examined. For this aim, accidents are examined that were officially investigated by the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour, and Social Welfare at the building sites of North of Iran (Mazandaran region) between 2013 and 2023. The percentage of causes in each of the several potential cause groups indicates a pattern of causation. There are notable correlations between the different cause categories and the phases of building and accident mechanisms. Depending on the accident's mechanism and the current building stage, there have been seen to be significant variances in accident causation. Prioritizing preventive measures to counter the most likely causes of each accident procedures and building stage should be done using these results.

Full textAbstract:
The investigation of traffic accidents within the framework of the crime under Art. 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is, in most cases, a complicated and labor-intensive process primarily connected with the establishment and further investigation of the traffic accident’s mechanism. The investigation of a “classic” type of accident, in spite of the availability of investigation techniques, is a rather complicated process, while the investigation of “non-classic” types of traffic accidents poses legal challenges for the investigator acting as a law enforcer. This is explained by the absence of the investigation-court practice and investigation techniques of other types of traffic accidents, such as “no-contact” traffic accidents. The technique of investigating specific types of crimes has a great importance for a complete and comprehensive investigation of the analyzed type of accidents. By determining the typical features of preparing, committing and concealing the crimes, the criminalistic description contributes to the development of the most effective tactics, recommendations and necessary technical means of solving crimes.

Aviation accident analysis is an important task to ensure aviation safety. The existing researches mainly focus on the analysis of aviation accident time characteristics and accident causes and less analysis of the spatial characteristics of aviation accidents. The spatial characteristics analysis of aviation accidents can identify hot spots of aviation accidents, improve the accuracy of aviation accident emergency management, and provide decision support for airport route planning. This study established the severity index of aviation accident based on aviation accident data, using GIS spatial analysis methods to study the spatial distribution characteristics of aviation accidents. The hot spots were identified in the aviation accidents. Finally, airports around the accident hot spots were ranked to obtain the airports with high potential aviation risks based on RI, taking Florida as an example. It was found that in the Florida aviation accident, general aviation accidents accounted for the majority, but the aviation accident severity index for air route flight was far greater than general aviation accidents. From the spatial distribution point of view, accidents with high severity index were distributed around large international airports. The Density Center for Aviation Accidents was located in Tampa, Miami, and some airports link areas in Florida. In terms of the Moran’s I index, the distribution of aviation accidents tended to aggregate in the region as a whole. However, aviation accident severity index was randomly distributed for each year separately. At the level of significance of 0.01, there were a total of 75 accident hotspots in the Florida region, mainly in the north and southwest. Airports with high RI in the Florida area were mainly concentrated in the Miami area and the Tampa Bay area, and Orlando Airport was ranked outside the top 10.

Road traffic accidents result in injury or even death of passengers. One potential cause of these accidents is mechanical failures due to a lack of vehicle maintenance. In the quest to identify these mechanical failures, this paper aims to set up the procedure to identify the mechanical failures that contribute to traffic accidents in cities located in developing countries, including the city of Cuenca-Ecuador. For present research, a database provided by the entity responsible for the Vehicle Technical Inspection, the Empresa Pública Municipal de Movilidad, Tránsito y Transporte and for the ones responsible of managing traffic accident data, Oficina de Investigación de Accidentes de Tránsito and Sección de Investigación de Accidentes de Tránsito was used. The vehicle subcategories M1 and M3 (bus type) and N1, so named according to Ecuadorian technical standards, were considered the most relevant regarding accident rates. The database was analysed with descriptive statistics, a Pareto chart and time series with the quadratic trend. From this analysis, the most significant failures found in the VTI in all three subcategories were the alignment of the driver headlight, both horizontal and vertical, braking imbalance on the 2nd axle, insufficient tire tread and parking brake effectiveness. All these failures showed a decreasing trend over time and in the forecast at a maximum of two to three years. The most relevant causes of road accidents recorded during the period 2009–2018 related to mechanical failures were the braking system (65.5%) and the steering system (17.2%) for subcategory M1.

Purpose: The article presents an analysis of accidents in the selected enterprise from the automotive industry. The analysis includes two workplaces: machine operator and warehouseman. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis of accidents at work in a selected production company includes the period from the beginning of 2016 to half of the 2018 year using the method based on the TOH model. This method determines three factors of accident causes: technical, organizational and human (TOH). Findings: In the paper, the workplaces analysis taking into account activities, type of work, working position and accidents at work is presented. The analysis of work accidents includes the age group, work experience etc. The TOH model determines causes related to accidental events. Research limitations/implications: The accidents at work are the result of a low or undesirable safety culture. Because of that, the safety culture should be constantly developed, maintained and continuously improved. Originality/value: Many methods and procedures can be used to investigate accidents at work. The TOH model is one of them. It determines the direct and indirect causes of accidents. Based on them, the corrective actions can be proposed and implemented.

Full textAbstract:
Accidents pose unique challenges for operating crews in complex systems such as nuclear power plants, presenting limitations in plant status information and lack of detailed monitoring, diagnosis, and response planning support. Advances in severe accident simulation and dynamic probabilistic risk assessment provide an opportunity to garner detailed insight into accident scenarios. In this article, we demonstrate how to build and use a framework which leverages dynamic probabilistic risk assessment, simulation, and dynamic Bayesian networks to provide real-time monitoring and diagnostic support for severe accidents in a nuclear power plant. We use general purpose modeling technology, the dynamic Bayesian network, and adapt it for risk management of complex engineering systems. This article presents a prototype model for monitoring and diagnosing system states associated with loss of flow and transient overpower accidents in a generic sodium fast reactor. We discuss using this framework to create a risk-informed accident management framework called Safely Managing Accidental Reactor Transients procedures. This represents a new application of risk assessment, expanding probabilistic risk assessment techniques beyond static decision support into dynamic, real-time models which support accident diagnosis and management.

Full textAbstract:
Working at sea is associated with many challenges and risk in the job, such as a high workload, inappropriate working hours, minimum time for hanging out with family and increasing the risk of accidents. When an accident occurs, the perception of the risk of occupational accidents seafarers increased so that all workers start to think about their safety. Fatigue is one of the factors that can affect the seafarer safety. Fatigue among the seafarers is affected by lack of sleep duration and low sleep quality. Besides fatigue, accidental experiences can also influence risk perceptions. When the workers themselves or their friends see or experience an accident, it is likely to increase the risk of accidents perception among the workers. In addition to fatigue and accident experience, safety culture can also affect the perception of risk. Safety training, hazard identification and risk assessment, safety awareness and incident reporting are several factors that can be used to assess the safety culture. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the influence of fatigue, sleep quality, accident experiences and safety culture on the risk perception of fishermans who works at the Indonesian maritime territoires.

A total of 523 accident cases during 2018–2021 in China were studied in terms of accident year, region, road section, and time to reduce the probability of expressways mobile hazardous source transportation accidents. The characteristics and causes of accidents of moving hazardous sources on expressways are analyzed, and preventive measures are put forward. The results indicated that the number of expressways mobile hazardous source transportation accidents fluctuated less in the past four years. Provinces with a higher degree of industrialization are more prone to accidents, with 80.02% of accidents occurring on normal road sections. Summer is the high accident season and accidents are prone to occur at 7:00 and 8:00 every day. External factors cause 47.99% of accidents, liquid class mobile hazards quickly cause accidents, leakage accidents account for the heaviest proportion, and explosive accidents have the highest chance of causing secondary accidents. In order to reduce the probability of accidents, a comprehensive management framework suitable for the mobile hazard sources of expressways is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Maritime collision accidents occur frequently and result in huge damages. Complex collision accidents are especially associated with worse damages. Complex maritime collision accidents involve other types of accidents barring the main accident, such as fire, explosions, capsizes, sinking, and even casualties. When a maritime accident occurs, the maritime accident verdict covers the surveyed facts from the origin of the accident to the consequences. The survey usually reveals the primary cause of the accident; however, complex causes may remain latent. Therefore, this research aims to apply text analytics to maritime verdicts of collision accident cases to identify the latent causes in complex collision accidents. The proposed methods separated the collected corpus into the training dataset and the test dataset. The word propensity database was extracted from the training dataset and applied to sample verdicts of complex maritime collision accidents in the test dataset. The expected results of this research were words that appeared in only complex maritime accidents with a high propensity for additional categories and the relevant context that explains the latent causes that underlie the complexity of the maritime accident. The conclusion suggested that the latent causes derived should be provided to ships to help prevent future complex collision accidents.

Wood product manufacturing involves many dangerous activities and a high incidence of work-related accidents. The objective of this study was to analyze registered and unregistered work accidents, as well as the most frequent type and rate increase over the years for different activities of wood product manufacture in Brazil. Total accidents were counted including both unregistered and registered accidents. The accidents were classified as either a typical accident, a commuting accident or occupational diseases. Evaluated production was subdivided into sawmill operations, manufacture of laminated wood and plywood, wood-derived pressed and agglomerated sheets, and furniture with a predominance of wood. Wood production presented 2,849,470 direct jobs. For the furniture manufacturing sub-sector, there was an increase in the growth rate for direct jobs. However, there was a greater number of total accidents and an increase in the rate of number of accidents over time. For sawmills and the manufacture of laminated wood and slabs, there was a decreasing trend in the rate of direct jobs and accidents. Of the total number of accidents, more than 20% were not reported. The primary accident incidence was the typical accident (88.3%), followed by commuting accidents (9.5%) and lastly occupational diseases (2.1%).

Introduction: In our hospitals, nursing-related accidents are frequent. It is not uncommon for minor incidents and near misses to occur before a serious accident occurs. The main aims of this study are to explore the experience of healthcare professionals of nursing-related accidents; to determine what to do about nursing-related accidents; and to analyze the attitudes of healthcare professionals to nursing-related accidents. Methods: We conducted a qualitative, phenomenological study based on free, face-to-face interviews. It involved 3 care providers working at the Makiso General Referral Hospital from March 2 to 31, 2024. Results: In terms of experience, respondents identified risk factors, managing emotions during the accident and the consequences of a nursing-related accident. In terms of what to do in the event of a care-related accident, the subjects identified teamwork to prevent care-related accidents, taking precautions before administering care and ensuring patient safety. Finally, with regard to the attitude of nursing staff to accidents attributable to care, respondents expressed their views on reassuring patients that their health would be restored in the event of an accident attributable to nursing care, identifying problems linked to the accident and ways of preventing accidents attributable to care. Conclusion: To prevent nursing-related accidents, it is necessary to put into practice preventive measures that should be taken to reduce the frequency and severity of accidents attributable to nursing care. Nurses should regularly undergo medical training to prevent nursing-related accidents

<span>Traffic accidents are a widespread concern globally, causing loss of life, injuries, and economic burdens. Efficiently classifying accident types is crucial for effective accident management and prevention. This study proposes a practical approach for traffic accident classification using IndoBERT, a language model specifically trained for Indonesian. The classification task involves sorting accidents into four classes: car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bus accidents, and others. The proposed model achieves a 94% accuracy in categorizing these accidents. To assess its performance, we compared IndoBERT with traditional methods, random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM), which achieved accuracy scores of 85% and 87%, respectively. The IndoBERT-based model demonstrates its effectiveness in handling the complexities of the Indonesian language, providing a useful tool for traffic accident classification and contributing to improved accident management and prevention strategies.</span>

This study aimed to provide foundational data for establishing measures to prevent
agricultural machinery traffic accidents by analyzing Jeonnam Police Agency's data on traffic
injuries to agricultural machinery occupants between 2014 and 2018. Out of 760 accidents,
52.9% were vehicle-to-vehicle collision where agricultural machinery operators involved as a
secondary party(less responsible to accidents), 25.9% were single agricultural machinery
accidents, and 21.2% were vehicle-to-vehicle collision where agricultural machinery operators
involved as a primary party(more responsible to accidents). 95.8% of the accident-involved
agricultural machinery operators were male, 45.9% were in their 70s, and the main types of
agricultural machinery involved in the accidents were power tillers (61.6%), tractors (11.3%),
and unidentified types (22.0%). Results of the multivariable logistic regression showed higher
death risks for elderly drivers, single machinery accidents (10.0 times higher than primary
party accidents), power tiller accidents (1.7 times higher than tractor accidents), and
accidents on downhill roads (1.7 times higher than flat or other roads). Different accident
characteristics appeared based on involved parties, suggesting the need for specific preventive
measures considering each type's accident characteristics and representative accident forms.

Abstract Nowadays, congestion and accidents are creating major risks to cities, including delays, higher fuel usage, and compromised safety. Effective traffic modelling and accident data analysis are critical for identifying high risk identifying accident-prone locations, understanding the causes of accidents and creating focused actions to enhance traffic flow and safety. GIS is an effective tool for integrating, analysing and visualizing different geographical data relevant to transportation networks such as, traffic flow, infrastructure, and safety. It enables geographical analysis and visualization of accident hotspots by integrating accident data, road conditions, traffic numbers, and environmental factors. The use of GIS in traffic modelling and accident data analysis provides considerable benefits in urban transportation planning and management. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of the application of GIS in traffic modelling and accidental data analysis, highlighting the methodologies, advancements, and challenges in this field. The review shall provide a comprehensive assessment of the current state of traffic modelling and accidental data analysis using GIS. It will highlight the significant contributions of GIS technology, identify key research gaps, and offer insights into future directions for enhancing transportation planning and decision-making processes.

This paper depicts the efficient use of CCTV for traffic monitoring and accident detection. The system which is designed has the capability to classify the accident and can give alerts when necessary. Nowadays we have CCTVs on most of the roads, but its capabilities are being underused. There also doesn’t exist an efficient system to detect and classify accidents in real time. So many deaths occur because of undetected accidents. It is difficult to detect accidents in remote places and at night. The proposed system can identify and classify accidents as major and minor. It can automatically alert the authorities if it deals with a major accident. Using this system the response time on accident can be decreased by processing the visuals of CCTV. In this system different image processing and machine learning techniques are used. The dataset for training is extracted from the visuals of already occurred accidents. Accidents mainly occur because of careless driving, alcohol consumption and over speeding. Another main cause of death due to accidents are the delay in reporting accidents since there doesn’t exist any automated systems. Accidents are mainly reported by the public or by traffic authorities. We can save many lives by detecting and reporting the accident quickly. In this system live video is captured from the CCTV’s and it is processed to detect accidents. In this system the YOLOV3 algorithm is used for object detection. Nowadays traffic monitoring has a greater significance. CCTV’s can be used to detect accidents since it is present in most of the roads. It is only used for traffic monitoring. Normally accidents can be classified as two classes major and minor. The proposed system is able to classify the accident as major or minor by object detection and tracking methodologies. Every accident doesn’t need emergency support. Only major accidents must be handled quickly. The proposed system captures the video and undergo object detection algorithms to identify the different objects like vehicles and people. After the detection phase
