Predictors2
The present study aims to examine neuroticism, aggression, and risk taking as predictors of accident-proneness in line employees of National Iranian Drilling Company. (kne-publishing.com)
Construction workers in particular are at high risk of occupational accidents, and thus it is of major importance to identify possible predictors of occupational accidents among construction workers. (biomedcentral.com)
Illnesses1
Work related accidents and illnesses among farm workers due to agricultur al machinery and structures, exposures to toxic chemicals, and acquisition of zoonoses are reviewed. (cdc.gov)
Personality3
According to the research results, in order to reduce accident-proneness in employees, personality traits, such as neuroticism and aggression should be considered. (kne-publishing.com)
Their personality styles and neuroses translated into accident proneness. (psychiatrictimes.com)
Implies certain personality characteristics which predispose to accidents. (bvsalud.org)
Tendency2
Accident proneness, or variable accident tendency? (tcd.ie)
Tendency toward involvement in accidents. (bvsalud.org)
Prone6
It is easy to understand how a stressed individual is more prone to commit accident, but how mismanaged stress can lead to wrong and disastrous policies can be clear from the following example of policy about production of vehicles. (boloji.com)
We recommend building your own emergency wedding kit based on your own needs and accident prone-ness, storing items in a large, zipper pouch or tote bag , and place it out of sight but within easy reach. (minted.com)
Some children (for that matter even some adults) are more prone than others to face all kinds of accidents. (melawankemustahilan.com)
They put forward the idea that certain individuals were more prone to accidents due to their personalities. (scratchie.com)
The researchers also failed to consider the level of risk exposure faced by the so-called 'accident-prone' groups. (scratchie.com)
Occupational accidents7
Occupational accidents continue to be a significant public health challenge worldwide. (biomedcentral.com)
We aimed to investigate the association between self-reported work pace and physical work demands and occupational accidents among ageing male construction workers in Denmark. (biomedcentral.com)
There was no significant association between perceived work pace and occupational accidents, but physical work demands were associated with higher odds for occupational accidents, with an odds ratio of 2.27 (95% confidence interval 1.26-4.10) for medium physical work demands and 2.62 (95% confidence interval 1.50-4.57) for high physical work demands. (biomedcentral.com)
By contrast, perceived work pace was not associated with occupational accidents in this large cross-sectional study. (biomedcentral.com)
The need to prevent occupational accidents among construction workers is thus evident. (biomedcentral.com)
However, a limitation of these studies is that they have combined work pace and physical work demands in one exposure measure, making it difficult to identify the specific factors associated with occupational accidents, which is critical for evidence-based prevention of occupational accidents.

Symptoms3
Dunbar believed that having accidents was similar to the process by which other patients transformed psychological conflicts into somatic symptoms. (psychiatrictimes.com)
Natural' events such as an automobile accident or a hurricane can trigger PTSD symptoms, but events of human design - distinguished by deliberate, targeted cruelty such as the Cambodian killing fields, Nazi extermination camps or the recruitment of Rwandan child soldiers - are even more likely to create distress and disorders. (kidsnewtocanada.ca)
This is known as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) and may include intermittent signs and symptoms such as emotional outbursts and lability, anxiety, decreased energy, memory problems, difficulty sleeping, dizziness, delayed reflexes, and increased proneness to accidents. (domusretreat.com)
Alcohol1
The most important thing to remember when thinking about this sort of policy issue is a criminological fact I learned from Don B. Kates: that gun crimes and accidents are highly concentrated in an approximately 3% cohort of the population that is also strongly deviant by other measures, including: rates of domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, auto accidents, rates of criminal conviction, and accident proneness. (ibiblio.org)
Complications1
or are unable to participate rectifying the causes responsible for accidents and their complications. (boloji.com)
Physical2
Ageing male construction workers with high physical work demands had statistically significant higher odds of having an occupational accident. (biomedcentral.com)
Because these events can be very far removed both in time and in the physical world from the accident, these are typically flaws designed in the system or regulated into it. (resilienceroundup.com)
Psychological5
One of the areas of most interest and more profound research is aeronautics, where accidents have been reviewed from psychological and human factors, to mechanical and technical failures. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] A number of studies have cast doubt, though, on whether accident-proneness actually exists as a "distinct, persistent and independently verifiable" physiological or psychological syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
c) Psychological climate of the work place also affects the accident rate. (economicsdiscussion.net)
Psychological, mental and emotional imbalances are at the root of several accidents. (economicsdiscussion.net)
In reality, entire systems of contextual, psychological, and governance-related factors may have contributed to an accident. (scratchie.com)
Characteristics2
Personal Characteristics also influence accident behaviours of individuals. (economicsdiscussion.net)
Clearly, it's important to approach accident analysis with a comprehensive perspective, rather than solely focusing on individual characteristics. (scratchie.com)
Tragic1
While it was a tragic accident, it was also a wake-up call for the industry and served as a stark reminder of the importance of safety systems in preventing catastrophic events. (scratchie.com)
Fatal1
In accidents causing a disability of at least three days the ratio is calculated per 1,000 employees and in fatal accidents per 100,000 employees. (tilastokeskus.fi)
Variation2
Substantial variation in personal accident rates also seem to occur between individuals. (wikipedia.org)
The variation of accident incidence risks prevailing in different industries or professional and other such groups can be measured by taking the number of accidents as a proportion to the number of hours worked in each branch. (tilastokeskus.fi)
Increases1
Wind farms that have been running for more than five years face significant proneness to fire and accidents caused by fire, which only worsens and increases with age. (firetrace.com)
Behavior2
One of the defective aspects of disturbed behavior is accident proneness. (boloji.com)
directly leads to defective driving behavior and increase in vehicular accidents on road. (boloji.com)
Factors7
Research into accident-proneness is of great interest in safety engineering, where human factors such as pilot error, or errors by nuclear plant operators, can have massive effects on the reliability and safety of a system. (wikipedia.org)
Factors which have been considered as associated with accident-proneness have included absent-mindedness, clumsiness, carelessness, impulsivity, predisposition to risk-taking, and unconscious desires to create accidents as a way of achieving secondary gains. (wikipedia.org)
Accidents are caused by a combination of factors, each one of these may vary from situation to situation. (economicsdiscussion.net)
As per J. Donald, Kirpatrick the "accidents are usually the result of a combination of factors, each one of which may vary from situation to situation. (economicsdiscussion.net)
According to safety experts, there are three basic causes/factors that contribute to accidents in organisations. (economicsdiscussion.net)
Findings like these likely contributed to a culture of blaming individuals directly involved in accidents, known as the 'sharp end,' while disregarding the broader systemic factors that may have contributed to the accidents. (scratchie.com)
They are factors that were present in the system, typically for a very long time, before any sort of accident related events began to take place. (resilienceroundup.com)
Occur2
Predicting where or how exactly fires might occur without having first assessed and identified any points of weakness and proneness across your farm's overall operation is next to impossible. (firetrace.com)
So when all the holes line up across the layers of defense, workplace accidents will occur. (scratchie.com)
Proportion1
The early work on this subject dates back to 1919, in a study by Greenwood and Woods, who studied workers at a British munitions factory and found that accidents were unevenly distributed among workers, with a relatively small proportion of workers accounting for most of the accidents. (wikipedia.org)
Defective1
Thus, they indirectly support and promote defective policies and their implementation multiplying accidents. (boloji.com)
Work4
Further work on accident-proneness was carried out in the 1930s and 1940s. (wikipedia.org)
Screening new employees using this test gave drastic decreases in work accidents in several companies. (wikipedia.org)
In 2014, approximately 374 million workers had an occupational accident requiring at least 4 days of absence, while 380,500 workers died due to an accident at work [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
The more there are, the increased likelihood that those that are there will be a sufficient number to trigger some accident sequence. (resilienceroundup.com)
Studies2
Back in 1919, researchers Greenwood and Woods conducted some of the first statistical studies on accident proneness. (scratchie.com)
Her studies also led to the finding of accident proneness which, tragically, could apply to her own life. (josha-journal.org)

Nature1
In the 1990s, Psychology Professor James Reason proposed the Swiss cheese model as a way to understand and explain the complex nature of accidents and errors within systems. (scratchie.com)
Risk1
for example, young male drivers are the group at highest risk for being involved in car accidents. (wikipedia.org)
Large2
To illustrate, consider a trip hazard on a large construction site that leads to a workplace accident. (scratchie.com)
Reason begins by pointing out that a large number of disasters that had been recent at the time, including the ferry accident we've discussed previously, all have a number of things in common when you look below the surface. (resilienceroundup.com)
When accidents happen in the workplace, our first instinct may be to point the finger or find fault. (scratchie.com)
Reason believed that the best way to understand how accidents happen is to represent organizations as systems characterized by multiple lines of defense. (scratchie.com)
Medicine1
She also dedicated her professional life to promoting the role of clergy in medicine and exploring accident proneness. (psychiatrictimes.com)
Result1
When we consider the complex and interplaying circumstances that result in accidents, it can be helpful to take a step back and view the situation dispassionately. (scratchie.com)
Research1
Although substantial research has been devoted to this subject, no conclusive evidence seems to exist either for or against the existence of accident-proneness in this sense. (wikipedia.org)
