Information of occupational accidents is not standardized worldwide. Especially, developing countries do not have reliable information on their occupational accidents due to lack of proper recording and notification systems. The number of accidents is under-reported but figures are still used as a baseline for occupational safety work. In this paper global estimates of occupational accidents ar...
BACKGROUND Technical, human, operational and organizational factors have been influencing the sequence of occupational accidents. Among them, organizational factors play a major role in causing occupational accidents. The aim of this research was to understand the Iranian safety experts' experiences and perception of organizational factors. METHODS This qualitative study was conducted in 2015...
Exposure of health care workers to antineoplastic drugs and subsequent adverse health effects is still an open issue. Very little has been studied on the extent of occupational exposure and handling conditions of antineoplastic drugs in Iran. We aimed to determine cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide concentrations in the urine samples of oncology healthcare workers. In addition, we assessed workpla...
In 2013, an occupational medicine physician from the University of California, San Francisco, contacted CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) about two oil and gas extraction worker deaths in the western United States. The suspected cause of these deaths was exposure to hydrocarbon gases and vapors (HGVs...
Forty-two noise exposures and 164 whole-body (WBV) and hand-arm (HAV) vibration exposures were collected from 43 forestry workers in six trades employed by two forestry companies. Data were collected on 10 days over 8 weeks during various felling, logging, and log handling operations. Up to 5 volunteers were monitored for noise and vibration daily using datalogging noise dosimeters, which provi...
This study examines the issue of whether or not state and federal job safety agencies provide the same levels of public output. Tests are conducted on the hypothesis that state takeover of regulation from the federal program serves to reduce the costs of firms. These costs are comprised of two components: the penalties for noncompliance and the uncertainty costs of regulation. The public policy...
and Asia) attended this international conference.

Introduction: Despite the advances in occupational safety, many accidents occur in the workplace. The most of these accidents caused by poor workers safety performance. Knowing the factors that affect safety performance is a suitable guide to planning for occupational accident prevention. This study was conducted to assess workers safety performance and determine its associated demographic fact...
We present a theoretical explanation for the intuitive proposition that the occupational safety conditions of on-site contract workers (employees of contracting firms) and employees (employees of host companies) are likely to differ. We derive ordinary imperfect information models from a review of regulations governing Japan’s nuclear utility industry. The models imply that hiring contract work...
Introduction Occupational exposure limits (OELs) 1 for the protection of workers have been around at least since 1939 when the National (later changed to American) Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) published its inaugural acceptable workplace exposure limits (now known as threshold limit values, or TLVs). In 1970, the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Act incorporated ...
