Abstract:

This study expands Carroll’s CSR typology with the public health and safety dimension to examine how the airline industry’s CSR and public health and safety activities influence flight attendants’ organizational identification, self-esteem, and commitment to the company during COVID-19. A total of 342 South Korean flight attendants participated in online surveys. Based on social identity theory and using structural equation modeling (SEM), the study reveals that ethical-, economic-, and philanthropic-CSR and public health and safety are positively related to organizational identification and that all are linked to the self-esteem and organizational commitment of flight attendants. However, legal-CSR did not affect their organizational identification. The results suggest that “public health and safety” should be applied when initiatives aim to enhance flight attendants’ organizational behavior. The study’s findings contribute to the literature by extending the original CSR model and providing theoretical and practical implications for academic researchers and airlines during a pandemic.

Abstract:

The City of Palo Alto, California, located in the mid-Peninsula area south of San Francisco, has taken a unique approach to the problem of retrofitting existing seismically vulnerable buildings. Specifically, Palo Alto has adopted a Seismic Hazard Identification Program which mandates the preparation and filing of seismic engineering reports and relies on the creation of incentives for voluntary retrofitting. The findings of this article are based upon an extensive set of personal interviews conducted in September, 1988, as well as an examination of city ordinances, staff reports, council minutes and other relevant documents. The article first describes the history of seismic policy in Palo Alto leading to the adoption of the seismic identification program. It then goes on to describe in detail the specifics of the Palo Alto program; its key provisions and requirements. Finally, an extensive discussion is provided of the factors which influenced the adoption of the program, and its final form and content.

Abstract:

Access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food is the key to sustain life and promote good health. It is an essential component of our survival. Healthy and nutritious food leads to a healthy workforce and hence, improving the economy of any country. Unsafe food creates a vicious circle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young children, elderly and sick. The food borne diseases impede socioeconomic development of any country by increasing expenditure on health system and affecting national economies, tourism and trade. Food borne illnesses are usually caused by infectious organisms like bacteria, viruses, protozoa and toxins in chemicals which contaminate food, water and soil in which food is grown. These pathogens lead to diarrhoea and other deadly diseases like meningitis. In India, majority of the outbreaks of food borne disease are unreported, unrecognized or un-investigated and may only be noticed after major health or economic damage has occurred. In such a condition controlling the outbreaks, detection and removal of foods leading to the problem, identification of the factors that contribute to the contamination, growth, survival and dissemination of the suspected agent, prevention of future outbreaks and strengthening of food safety policies and programmes is not possible.

Abstract:

An analysis of scientific works defining methodologies, methods and models of managing development projects and the functioning of security systems concerning separate branches and territories, as well as approaches to the implementation of hybrid projects of public security systems has been performed. It has been established that there is a need to conduct research on the development of scientific and methodological identification of hybrid projects of public security systems and their management processes. Nine identifying features of hybrid public safety projects are outlined. The proposed characteristics identifying hybrid projects of public security systems are based on their initiation and implementation of management processes. The hierarchical model of the structure of hybrid projects of public security systems is substantiated. It provides for the consideration of hybrid projects of public security systems at three levels which outline the purposeful and continuously managed interaction between individual processes and their elements. It is substantiated that the purposefulness and manageability properties of hybrid projects of public safety systems significantly affect the indicators of their value and underlie the development of tools for determining the value of these projects. Further research requires the development of tools to determine the value of hybrid projects of public safety systems.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature by assessing factors that typically engender adverse drug reactions (ADRs) jeopardizing medical safety. These factors are population knowledge, clarity in disclosure of the risks inhering ADRs and ADRs incidence. It seeks to minimize negative effect by early identification of drug reactions. Design/methodology/approach On the one hand, the study employs a model that shows relationships between various factors, and on the other hand, ADRs medical safety in the public healthcare sector. Findings Clarity of consultancy services in public healthcare significantly impact ADR medical safety. Population and healthcare provider education on ADRs medical safety are necessities. Implementation of an ADR reporting system in every healthcare institute is essential. This helps service providers to give a clear and accurate information to patients. It also makes patients more aware of consequences of ADRs. Research limitations/implications Time, place and sampling method are found to be the main study limitations. Researchers should take into their consideration the significant relationships between the factors and ADRs medical safety to improve level of awareness in the healthcare public sector. Practical implications Ways to improve ADR medical safety in healthcare sector are underscored. Healthcare service providers and professionals need to take into account the stipulated study factors in order to improve medical safety and reduce unnecessary medical costs. Originality/value Very few studies have been conducted on this topic; most of those that have been conducted were undertaken in western countries. This study assesses the level of healthcare safety in the country and suggests mechanisms to elevate that level.

Abstract:

Inefficiency in maintaining and managing architectural heritage threatens both heritage conservation and public safety. Damage related to collapsed building elements requires an investigation into the factors which cause these phenomena in order to prevent them and to mitigate their effects. This paper aims to define a methodological approach for assessing the risk to humans of falling bodies from historic buildings’ façades. The method is based on the identification of a group of parameters to assess façade’s hazards, vulnerability and public exposure. The results provide the identification of risk factors and related affecting parameters, proposing a synthetic indicator to quantify the risk. The proposal is original in the field of both maintenance planning and preventive maintenance, intending to preserve architectural heritage and public safety. The results lead to an easy tool, as a map, to prioritise risk mitigation interventions. Such a tool, if integrated into maintenance tenders, allows the evaluation, in the context of condition-based maintenance, of the need for interventions.

Abstract:

AbstractPublic order as a protectable interest is an important criterion for determining a consistent and rational scope of crimes against public order. From the specific perspective of everyday life, Feinberg's theory of minimum welfare interests neglects those kinds of interests that relate to a smooth or harmonious life. Socio-legal perspectives make it clear that safety interests, which directly concern basic living (bodily existence), do not include various kinds of order interests – and thus life order interests in convenience, comfort and peace, distinguishable from safety interests that are protected by English public order laws, can be construed as the public order interest. By critically adopting Feinberg's individualistic approach to analysing public interests in three types of case, the test of being public is further clarified. Typical categories of public order are socially and normatively identified before concluding with a discussion of the effects the identification made by the paper might make to the scope and nature of public order law and offences.

Abstract:

In many jurisdictions around the globe, governments are developing ID schemes based on radio frequency identification (RFID) and biometric technologies. In Canada, four provinces recently implemented RFID based ‘enhanced’ drivers licences (EDL) in response to the United States’ Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), which requires all persons entering the United States to present a valid passport or alternative ‘secure’ document to prove their identity and citizenship. As researchers, we were closely involved in following the EDL policy development process. It became evident, as we attended legislative hearings, that parliamentarians needed clarifications to understand how the RFID identification scheme would function in practice. This project began with the goal of designing prototypes to demonstrate security and civil liberty concerns with a new RFID-based identification (ID) scheme in Canada. Influenced by participatory design and probe approaches to technology design, we built and tested mock infrastructures of RFID-based identification systems including low fidelity paper prototypes, and high fidelity prototypes using RFID-chipped cards, a database, antenna and reader. We also worked closely with civil society organizations to run public engagement activities. This paper reports on our attempts to create spaces for ‘playful’ engagement with RFID-based ID scheme technology at a time of ‘serious’ policy deliberations. Designed in the spirit of serious play, our mock ID infrastructures make the security and civil liberties challenges inherent in the proposed combination of ID cards and databases more visible, while demonstrating how such ID schemes work. At this point, we see future promise in the design and use of mock ID infrastructure for public engagement during relevant policy deliberations about ID schemes and databases which contain personal information.

Abstract:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers to stop using multiple weight-loss products that contain the undeclared drug ingredients e.g. sibutramine, which was removed from the market in 2010 for safety reasons and may present significant risks for those with coronary artery disease and other heart issues. Sibutramine and similar undeclared ingredients in herbal medicines are a real challenge for the public health and safety. In recent years, the need for quality assurance tools to ensure the identity, purity, and quality of botanical material has risen dramatically. HPTLC has emerged as a versatile, high throughput, and cost-effective technology, that is uniquely suited to meet these requirements. Most separation techniques do not allow parallel analysis of numerous samples at the same time and they often face problems in separating complex mixtures of substances. However, visual evaluation of HPTLC plates allows for convenient comparison of many samples side by side, where similarities and differences can clearly be seen. The quality of raw materials is rapidly and easily determined by HPTLC. For the identification of herbal drugs and other naturally derived materials standardized HPTLC is the method of choice and recommended by pharmacopoeias worldwide, furthermore adulterated samples are reliably identified. The main objective of the present study is to check pharmaceutical analogue adulteration of nonprescription and prescription slimming products in the laboratory using chromatographic techniques and to discuss its side effects in the interest of consumers and public health safety. Since intentional adulteration of “natural herbalmedicines” with unknown synthetic drugs or chemicals is a common and dangerous phenomenon of alternative medicine, it is important to modify and validate analytical tools to monitor and evaluate these herbal drugs.

This study was conducted to investigate histoplasmosis in animals at Dhaka Zoo to ascertain animal health, welfare and public health safety standard. One hundred and two necropsied tissue samples preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin at necropsy from 36 animals of 25 different species were collected from Dhaka Zoo during 2007 - 2009. Twenty five out of 36 study animals were suffering from granulomatous diseases of mycotic and/or bacterial origin. Among them three animals were found suffering from histoplasmosis. Clinical history, nodular lesions from necropsy findings, granulomatous reactions with fungal spores on histopathology; macrophages laden with histoplasma organisms on histopathology and on special staining were revealed histoplasmosis in six rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Present study provides evidence of existing histoplasmosis and similar long standing zoonotic diseases in majority of rest of the animals with health risk that shades health safety standard at Dhaka Zoo.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v11i2.19145Bangl.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Exploring experiences of individuals for barriers they confront relating to safety could help to design safety interventions with an emphasis on the most safety influencing factors. OBJECTIVE: This study strived to present an empirical exploration of individuals’ experiences across the petroleum industry at different levels of the organizational structure for factors that influence occupational accidents. METHOD: Based on accidents history, face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals who engaged in fatal activities, as well as authorities responsible for managing safety. The qualitative content analysis of 46 interview transcripts was conducted using MAXQDA software. RESULTS: A three-layer model comprising organizational, supervisory and operator level influencing factors with 16 categories were found influence factors of occupational safety. The results highlighted the role of organizational factors, including inappropriate contract management, inadequate procedures, and issues relating to competency management and the organizational climate. Moreover, defects relating to the monitoring and supervision system were identified as important causes of accidents. CONCLUSIONS: The findings demonstrated that the qualitative approach could reveal additional latent aspects of safety influencing factors, which require consideration for the appropriate management of occupational safety. This study can guide the planning of preventive strategies for occupational accidents in the petroleum industry.

Abstract:

The basis of public safety is dependent on the assessment of risk of potential disasters. Furthermore, the term involves protecting and safeguarding people from disasters and other potential dangers or threats. The increasing importance of a nation’s preparedness is becoming more obvious in case of disasters, in order to protect the health and safety of citizens, properties, material assets, industrial facilities and the environment. This paper offers an outline review of hazardous materials related emergency response units’ (HAZMAT Units) role in the fields of prevention, control, communication, identification of hazard impacts, decontamination and recovery activities.

Abstract:

Building upon facial recognition and other systems of identification, the next generation of biometric technology includes behavior recognition, training AI to analyze and interpret how bodies move in public spaces. Paired with already ubiquitous CCTV cameras, these software systems detect a range of motions—trips, falls, fighting, irregular gait—anything that deviates from the established norm. In this paper, I argue that by criminalizing certain movements, behavior recognition technologies effectively codify a technique, a vocabulary of acceptable and allowable movements, enacting a form of social choreography. Within this choreography, what movements are available to whom? What constitutes normal, and who is afforded or denied such a claim? In the fall of 2019, I undertook a corporeal engagement with these questions through the development of a short video project entitled One True False Move, seeking to disrupt the codes of normalcy and destabilize the surveillant technology’s position as social choreographer. In theorizing a conceptual framework and reflecting upon creative practice, I explore the body as a site of resistance, endowed with the resilient capacity to move in or out of step with systematic codes and counter attempts to be rendered legible.

Abstract:

The security of women is a critical issue faced by society. Crimes against women such as eve teasing, sexual assaults, domestic violence are increasing in number day by day. When it comes to security concerns, a smart phone can be one the easiest way of gaining help. This project strives to create an android app which can help to protect women in any situation she might face in her day-to-day life. We have created a simple Android application which comprises various safety measures which can be used by women with a few clicks on the screen, to get quick and easy access to help or to avoid and escape a harmful situation. It uses GPS location tracking to provide a simple and fast way for the registered contacts to know that the user is in trouble and for them to reach the user easily. It also provides safety features such as a voice recording which can help a woman or the police for identification or situational evidence , a siren to alert the public of any misbehavior, emergency helpline numbers which can be used to directly connect via call to emergency services according to the situation faced by women for their safety

Abstract:

As a result of economic development and an increase in the volume of industrial production, the use of dangerous substances is increasing despite the fact that most industrial facilities are committed to the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development. Protection of human health and the environment is ensured at the local level by the local safety system. Major accidents typically have an off-site impact that also affects the general public. The most significant asymmetric event is when toxic substances are release into a populated area following a major accident. Early warning systems can significantly reduce the harmful consequences of major accidents that may occur. The operation of a reliable and effective chemical monitoring and public alarm system can be used as a basic device of defence. This ultimately means restoring the symmetry of the local safety system. It was an important scientific objective in Hungary to identify the facilities endangering the population where it is necessary to install chemical monitoring and early warning external protection systems. In this context, the main objective of this study was to present dangerous plant identification methodology and to analyse and evaluate the results of the application of this methodology.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the inter-related impact of the antecedents of collaboration on the emergence of relational risk and the impact of relational risk on the effectiveness of collaboration in public safety networks (PSNs). Design/methodology/approach The research is based on desk research and a survey questionnaire. The analysis of the results was based on the modelling of structural equations. Findings The analyses indicate how the antecedents of collaboration influence relational risk in PSNs and the extent to which this risk, in turn, may affect the overall effectiveness of collaboration in the networks studied. The findings identify the antecedents that have the greatest impact on the emergence of relational risks, the drivers of relational risk in PSNs and the impact of the drivers of relational risk on collaboration in the networks. Originality/value The study of relational risk is rarely undertaken with little literature or research in the field of public safety. The added value is the identification of the causes of the relational risk among the antecedents of collaboration in PSNs and the analysis of the impact of this risk on the effectiveness of inter-organisational collaboration.

Abstract:

One of the main tasks of transport is moving people or goods to specific places using appropriate means of transport. In recent years on the roads we can see increase number of private cars, trucks or public transport. The consequence of this situation is a decrease road safety, related to the lack of an adequate level of caution by drivers. The increasing number of accidents contributes to the costs related to their consequences e.g.: costs of removing damages, treatment costs. City authorities implement a variety of solutions aimed at increasing road safety. These activities include the reorganization of intersections, as well as the use of telematics tools, i.e. the introduction of systems allowing the identification of vehicles and the measurement of their speed. The article presents the concept of improving safety on the selected section of road located on the Duńska street. The article is financed under the grant for the Young Scientist 3/MN/IZT/2018..

Abstract:

Despite significant advances in molecular biology and immunology, electron microscopy (EM) continues to be useful for morphologic identification of infectious microbes in body fluid and cultured specimens from humans and experimental animals. Morphologic identification using negative stain and/or thin-section EM is often a primary tool in public health investigations, followed by immunologic, molecular, or cultured isolation. Difficulties encountered are usually related to the length of time between specimen (e.g. stool) collection and preparation for EM and/or handling and shipping conditions. Another negative mitigating factor may be multi-lab interventions prior to arrival. Appropriate specimen collection, storage, and handling prior to attempts to identify the agent are important factors for successful identification.Barrier-control guidelines called “Universal Precautions for Laboratories“ have for many years been recommended by U.S. and international health services organizations. The guidelines are based on the premise that safe work sites result from a combination of engineering controls, management policies, work practices, and, when required, prompt medical intervention.

Abstract:

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and subsequent major hurricanes, evacuation planning and execution have taken-on a heightened level of interest from both public officials and the general public. In this article, the authors examine how radio frequency identification (RFID) can be utilized to not just facilitate mass evacuations due to hurricanes, but yield far-better, real-time information to public officials, emergency managers, and concerned family members as well. The authors begin with an overview of RFID technology. Then, the authors explore how two leading areas—the State of Texas and the City of New Orleans—have worked with private sector partners to develop, test, and actually utilize RFID-based tracking systems to be used ondemand for hurricane evacuation events. The authors then analyze the benefits of such systems for use in hurricanes and other potential mass evacuations. The authors pinpoint the public safety, operational, and business intelligence advantages of employing this new identification technology in these crisis situations.

Abstract:

AbstractAdverse patient safety events, unintended injuries resulting from medical therapy, were associated with 110,000 deaths in the United States in 2019. A nationwide pandemic (such as COVID-19) further challenges the ability of healthcare systems to ensure safe medication use and the pandemic’s effects on safety events remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate drug safety events across demographic groups before and during a pandemic using a dataset of 1,425,371 reports involving 2,821 drugs and 7,761 adverse events. Among 64 adverse events identified by our analyses, we find 54 increased in frequency during the pandemic, despite a 4.4% decrease in the total number of reports. Out of 53 adverse events with a pre-pandemic gender gap, 33 have seen their gap increase with the pandemic onset. We find that the number of adverse events with an increased reporting ratio is higher in adults (by 16.8%) than in older patients. Our findings have implications for safe medication use and preventable healthcare inequality in public health emergencies.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the knowledge of multiprofesional residents in health about the security of the patient theme. Methods Cross-sectional study, quantitative, developed with graduate courses/residence specialties of health in a public university of Paraná, Brazil. Participants (n=78) answered a questionnaire containing nine objective questions related to patient safety. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, in proportion measures. The minimum 75% of correct answers was considered the cutoff for positive evaluation. Results The sample was predominantly composed of young people from medical programs. Almost half of the items evaluated (n=5) achieved the established positive pattern, especially those who dealt with the hand hygiene moments (98.8%) and goal of the Patient Safety National Program (92.3%). The identification of the patient was the worst rated item (37.7%). In the analysis by professional areas, only the Nursing reached the standard of hits established. Conclusion Knowledge of the residents was threshold.

Abstract:

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the compliance with the ISEP-Brazil patient safety good practice indicators related to medication management. It also aims to evaluate the applicability and limitations of these indicators in these hospitals. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in two large hospitals (H1 e H2) of the Minas Gerais public hospital network. The Group 5 indicators (medication management) and additional information on the safety profile were collected in both hospitals in February 2018, through an on-site visit. The difference between the proportions of the items met at H1 and H2 was evaluated using the Pearson chi-square test at a level of statistical significance of 5%. Results: Both hospitals satisfactorily meet more than 65% of the items evaluated (H1=71.2%, H2=66.7%), with H1 meeting three more items (n=42) than H2 (n=39). There was no statistically significant difference between the proportions of items in compliance at H1 and H2 (p = 0.69). However, through additional collection, activities that were not evaluated by the ISEP-Brazil indicators which may contribute to patient safety were detected, especially in H1. Examples are clinical activities, computerization of the dispensing and emergency carts, daily check of dispensing errors. Conclusion: A considerable proportion of sub-items followed the ISEP-Brazil indicators in hospitals. Although there was no statistically significant difference between these proportions, the additional on-site diagnosis allowed identification of a safer medication system in H1.

Abstract:

This study examined, among 232 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) participants, the association of identity centrality and public regard with negative affect about the Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando, Florida. Identification with victims and perceived threat to personal safety were sequential mediators. Identity centrality was associated with greater identification with the shooting victims. In turn, identification with the victims was associated with greater perceived threat, followed by more negative affect. Low public regard was associated with greater perceived threat that, in turn, was associated with more negative affect. The results support the notion that LGBTQ-related individual differences increase distress about anti-sexual/gender minority hate crimes, especially for individuals with a strong LGBTQ identity and who believe that the majority, heterosexual society devalues sexual/gender minority persons.

In recent years, China, as the world’s largest consumer products manufacturing country, has more and more consumer quality and safety incidents. By analyzing and constructing the supervision mode of quality and safety risks of consumer products, this paper improves the identification and collection system of quality and safety risks of consumer products, improves the evaluation system of impact factors of quality and safety of consumer products, and strengthens the communication and operation mechanism of quality and safety risks of consumer products. Through the supervision of quality and safety risks of consumer products, we will explore the establishment of a social governance model of quality and safety of consumer products, and build a "five-in-one" supervision model of quality and safety risks of consumer products based on government supervision, enterprise self-discipline, social coordination, public participation and legal guarantee.

Abstract:

Technological innovation continually shifts boundaries of possibilities and at the same time challenges ethical dimensions. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology challenges both what is possible and what is ethical. On this basis, this paper incorporates an analysis of RFID development and provides penetrating insight concerning the ethical issues society faces and will face. Attention is given to the burgeoning and challenging field of human-centred RFID technology and its impact on the individual’s privacy, safety, civil liberty and on society in general. The paper briefly outlines the history of RFID and identifies three broad themes concerning the application of RFID tags for the purpose of human “branding”. In particular, the social rights impact of implants in humans, the potential and actual damage of implants to the physical health of the person, and the ownership, use and miss-use of information collected through implant technology, act as the central themes. In conclusion, the authors identify the critical areas surrounding human branding that require research and public deliberation.

Abstract:

Purpose. The article explores the topical topic of assessing the security risk of public servants. One of the main responsibilities of public authorities is to protect national security, that is, to protect the country and the community from threats related to disorderly conduct and welfare. Relevance. The urgency of the problem of assessing the risk of public servants is to research and substantiate the appropriate methodology for the effectiveness of the assessment. The recommended methodology for risk assessment is unique in that the main focus is on the risks posed by persons having legitimate access to the assets of public authorities. It is simple, reliable, flexible and transparent. It can be used on its own or as a supplement to an existing risk assessment program. Although the guidance explains how to check the risks posed by a person to a valuable asset, it does not attempt to indicate which of these assets is the most important or which employee group may be the most threatening. Results. The recommended risk assessment methodology provides the basis for the work, but in order for this work to be successful in accordance with the methodology, it is necessary to identify appropriate positions in the public authority for professionals with their further access to the necessary information. The stages of the risk assessment process highlight the threat identification and vulnerability assessment. It has been established that the risk assessment process consists in the importance of following the risk assessment process step by step and the lack of assumptions about the final results. Therefore, the article examines the risk assessment process carried out at the appropriate levels. Conclusions. It turns out that risk assessments are most effective when they are an integral part of the risk management process. This helps to transform risk assessment into action. The best results are achieved when the risk assessment team is composed of: employees and security teams responsible for risk management, persons with deep knowledge of specific areas of activity of employees, external specialists in the field of risk assessment. To maximize the benefits of employee safety risk assessment: Risk assessment requires discussion and benefits from the exchange of views from various areas of government.

Abstract:

Criminalistics laboratories routinely provide cold hits in police investigations by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes to offenders residing in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Forensic DNA analysis is often glamorized in popular culture, where the perpetrators are identified and crimes solved within a single television episode. In reality forensic DNA hits can identify perpetrators of violent offenses, link multiple crimes committed by the same individual, or exclude suspects and exonerate the falsely accused. Unlike the media portrayals, downstream activities after a DNA identification or cold hit are often more complex. While the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) cites a national Data Bank of more than 7.2 million DNA profiles and 94,000 identifications nationwide, an in-depth analysis of public safety improvements made with CODIS is currently unavailable to forensic practitioners and public policy analysts. A review of case resolutions for 198 DNA database hits in San Francisco created performance metrics to provide a concrete measure of the effectiveness of DNA databasing efforts at the city and county level.

Abstract:

BackgroundLeading indicators are preferred to identify injuries and fatalities in construction industry. Safety climate is a leading indicator of construction injuries yet it is not known how workers’ safety climate scores relate to safety programs of different maturity levels.MethodsThis study examined the relationship between safety program scores based on documents and contractor reported activities and project leading indicators of contractor safety climate, safety behaviors of workers and crews, and safety attitudes of coworkers from employee surveys. Hierarchical linear regression models accounted for contractor size and number of workers, nested in contractors within projects. Separate models examined the relationships between safety program scores and 1) contractor safety climate; 2) coworker attitude scores, 3) employees’ own behavior score, and 4) crew behavior scores.Results446 employees of 40 contractors from three commercial construction projects participated. Many contractors (n=16) had good safety programs with 15 or more safety activities (out of 17) from organizational management, worker participation, hazard identification, and training domains. Stronger safety programs had higher safety climate scores (5.15 point difference on a 100 point scale, p=0.05), better coworker safety attitudes (6.69 points, p=0.01), better crew safety behaviors (5.34 points, p=0.02) and higher self-rated behaviors (5.14 points, p=0.02) compared to safety programs with fewer safety items.ConclusionsContractors with more comprehensive safety programs were perceived to have stronger safety climate. Better safety programs were also associated with better self-reported safety performance of coworkers, crews, and individual workers. Stronger safety programs incorporated activities from all four domains Safety programs that include activities that cover safety of management and worker influence safety performance and safety climate as perceived by the workers.

Abstract:

Background: To explore interprofessionals’ perceptions about patient safety, particularly medication safety and associated factors and barriers. Methods: A total of 389 respondents were recruited using convenience sample in the cross sectional survey. Results: Medication safety was perceived as somewhat safe (60%). One-third of respondents witnessed 3–4 or more medication errors (MEs) within the past 1 year. Out of that, one quarter were reportedly, sentinel events. More sentinel events were witnessed in public hospitals and solo practice clinics compared with corporate hospitals and nursing homes ( p < 0.02). No difference was observed in the occurrence of sentinel events in accredited and nonaccredited facilities ( p = 0.30). Younger respondents witnessed more MEs, whereas accredited hospitals (mostly corporate hospitals) witnessed significantly fewer MEs and graded overall safety as ‘better’. However, most MEs go unreported particularly in solo practice clinics (88%) followed by nursing homes (67%), public hospitals (54%), and corporate hospitals (42%). Error identification and subsequent disclosure was inhibited by several system factors: fear of punitive action and lack of reporting systems. General surgical (46%), medical (42%), and paediatric units (36%), were the most error-prone places. Documentation diverted all healthcare workers from direct patient care. Many doctors and pharmacists from nursing homes, solo clinics and public hospitals reported working overtime. Staff shortages and poor training were overwhelming concerns to all healthcare workers and in public hospitals. Solo clinics and nursing homes perceived more barriers; lack of reporting systems, standard protocol, and resources for patient safety and unfamiliarity with prescribed medications was their overwhelming concern. Other factors threatening MEs were a lack of team approach and openness in interdisciplinary communications, illegible medical orders, and medicines prescribed by brand names. Conclusions: Immediate interventions to improve medication safety include enforcement of legible/printed medical orders in generic names, workforce development, developing standard protocols, and a corresponding change in organizational culture. Accreditation can serve as a driver for improving patient safety.

Abstract:

Police is an organization mainly identified as the authority responsible for public order and safety. Providing the country with the appropriate level of security requires a new look at the role of the authorities, including the police, involved in security matters. New, so far non-existing threats result from human dependence upon scientific and technological achievements. Efficient sectors such as energy, fuel, transportation, telecommunications, finance, health care, or any other sector ensuring continuity of public administration bodies, make our lives easier but at the same time pose a great threat to public order and safety. Additional threats result from interdependencies among elements of particular sectors, which we remain unaware of. The provision of relevant protective measures and identification of tasks assigned to the authorities involved in security pose a challenge not only to services and guards, but also to enterprises and public administration bodies involved in the development of regulations related to critical infrastructure protection as well as those which introduce regulations, guidelines or procedures.

Abstract:

Brief mental health disorder screening questionnaires (SQs) are used by psychiatrists, physicians, researchers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals and may provide an efficient method to guide clinicians to query symptom areas requiring further assessment. For example, annual screening has been used to help identify military personnel who may need help. Nearly half (44.5%) of Canadian public safety personnel (PSP) screen positive for one or more mental health disorder(s); as such, regular mental health screenings for PSP may be a valuable way to support mental health. The following review was conducted to (1) identify existing brief mental health disorder SQs; (2) review empirical evidence of the validity of identified SQs; (3) identify SQs validated within PSP populations; and (4) recommend appropriately validated brief screening questionnaires for five common mental health disorders (i.e., generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive depression (MDD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol use disorder). After reviewing the psychometric properties of the identified brief screening questionnaires, we recommend the following four brief screening tools for use with PSP: the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (screening for MDD and GAD), the Brief Panic Disorder Symptom Screen—Self-Report, the Short-Form Posttraumatic Checklist-5, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption.

Abstract:

Objective Community home health care workers and their clients are faced with a mixture of occupational health and safety challenges that are not typically experienced by health care providers or patients in the acute care sector. The aim of this project was to explore the concept of safety in community home health in one health care authority in British Columbia. Methods A participatory action research approach was employed to explore staff and client safety risks in this environment. In the first phase, three focus groups were held with staff (n 5 39) and the data analysed to identify themes. These were validated by additional focus groups. In the second phase, interviews were held with staff followed by chart reviews. Finally, in phase three, an interdisciplinary working group developed a risk identification tool for staff which was subsequently piloted. The exploration focused on answering the following questions: What constitutes safety in community home health care? What are the priority areas for action in relation to safety? What type of risk identification would be most helpful to community health workers to prepare them adequately to meet their clients’ and their own safety needs? Results Risk themes identified included: poor communication, acute care staff not understanding the needs of community staff, working alone, mobility, medication concerns, lack of pre-screening of clients’ homes, and community health workers accepting a high degree of risk. Conclusions Findings suggest that typical notions of safety and risk in acute care are not easily translated into the community sector, that staff and clients’ safety concerns are intertwined, and staff require better and more timely information from acute care staff when patients are discharged home.

Abstract:

Every workplace has a risk of accidents and health problems. The university is a workplace that has a variety of laboratories with a variety of risks, so prevention and control efforts are needed to prevent accidents and health problems for lecturers, staff, and students. Prevention and control efforts are attempts to build a culture of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in Higher Education. This study was conducted to determine the type of hazard, risk assessment based on the source of danger and risk assessment based on the type of hazard in all laboratories at UINSU. Hazard identification and risk assessment were analyzed with Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC) Technique. The identification results obtained by sources of hazards in the form of chemical hazard. Public Health Science Faculty has 2 sources of potential hazard in high risk level and 2 sources of potential hazards in high risk level were in Science and Technology Faculty. It is expected that the identification results can be evaluated and used as reference material to determine efforts to repair and control the risk of hazards in the laboratory at UINSU. The laboratories need to have guidelines and procedures for Occupational Safety Health.
