Background and Objectives: The necessity of assessing safety in hospitals lies with the fact that although accidents are rare, they impose considerable financial loads on hospital. Along with examining the risks, the managers of hospitals need to improve their capabilities and standards and reduce the hazards caused by accidents. The present study is aimed at assessing fu...

Introduction: Accidents in the workplace hurt people and sometimes cause death. One of the ways to prevent occupational accidents is to change the behavior and attitude of people towards safety. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the lean approach on the promotion of safety culture in Sarv combined cycle power plant of MAPNA exploitation. Materials and Methods: In thi...

some of the most destructive accidents of 1980s and 90s which occurred in process industries were domino accidents. although domino accidents are among the most destructive industrial accidents, there are not much pioneering works done on quantification of them. the analytical formulation of the domino accidents is usually complex and need a deep knowledge of probability rules. even if the case...

background occupational accidents are a major problem in industries and work environments. objectives this study aimed to study the relationship between workers' life quality and occupational accidents. materials and methods this historical cohort study was conducted on 114 wood industry workers (living in the north of iran) involved in a job related accident over the past 10 years. among those...

introduction: traffic accidents are the 8 th cause of mortality in different countries and are expected to rise to the 3 rd rank by 2020. based on the haddon matrix numerous factors such as environment, host, and agent can affect the severity of traffic-related traumas. therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effective factors in severity of these traumas based on haddon matrix. meth...

In 2005, at the request of the French Government, the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) established a Steering Committee for the Management of the Post-Accident Phase of a Nuclear Accident or a Radiological Emergency, with the objective of establishing a policy framework. Under the supervision of ASN, this Committee, involving several tens of experts from different backgrounds (e.g. relevant minis...

The investigation showed that the increasing number of deaths and fatalities resulting from driving accidents is mostly related to developing countries especially with intermediate and low social classes which it is resulting from industrialization of the mentioned societies without considering necessary infra structures such as health, safety and environment (HSE). Increasing number of cars, u...

There are four primary accident types at steel building construction (SC) projects: falls (tumbles), object falls, object collapse, and electrocution. Several systematic safety risk assessment approaches, such as fault tree analysis (FTA) and failure mode and effect criticality analysis (FMECA), have been used to evaluate safety risks at SC projects. However, these traditional methods ineffecti...

Computers are increasingly being introduced into safety-critical systems and, as a consequence, have been involved in accidents. Some of the most widely cited software-related accidents in safety-critical systems involved a computerized radiation therapy machine called the Therac-25. Between June 1985 and January 1987, six known accidents involved massive overdoses by the Therac-25 -with result...
