Aim: Construction is a major source of employment in many countries. In construction, workers perform great diversity activities, each one with specific associated risk. The aim this paper to identify who are at risk accidents severe consequences and classify these determine appropriate control measures. Methods: We defined 48 groups used the Bayesian theorem estimate posterior probabilities about severity level individuals construction sector. First, injuries based on four variables were...

Although landfills are among the most important structures for municipal waste disposal worldwide, they sometimes less preferred due to their impact on people and environment. This research examines health, safety environmental (HSE) factors affecting solid (MSW) landfilling process’s performance. Next, it prioritises these using conventional AHP fuzzy methods. Based findings, three main sub-criteria were determined from 26 sub-criteria, environmental, health criteria ranked first, second...

Risk management and improve the reliability of process, are issues which have become more important in production operations literature. assessment is an tool risk to reduce project risks achieve sustainable development.  At present concerned planning policy-making most world countries. There several techniques for identifying hazards assessing risks. One these Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA). FMEA efficient identification potential failure modes their effects order increase safety...

Background/Objectives: The farming employs about half the world’s entire workforce. In most countries, is recognized as one of hazardous industries. Farming activities lead to awkward physical postures. These postures are: leaning, kneeling, crawling, bending, twisting side and repeated work that can result in stress traumatic injuries. This study aimed evaluate ergonomic conditions musculoskeletal symptoms among farmers Eastern Azerbaijan, Iran. Methods/Statistical Analysis:...

Objectives: This study aimed to identify safety, health ergonomically hazards recommend the control measures repair shops Tekab city Iran. Methods: Sixty-three car were identified. The researchers with participation of employees broke any jobs into their...

Every year, thousands of vehicle accidents occur in Iran and result deaths, injuries material damage country. Various factors such as driver characteristics, road characteristics atmospheric conditions affect the severity these accidents. In order to reduce number accidents, their analysis prediction is essential. Currently, related data are collected which can be used predict prevent them. New technologies have enabled humans collect large volume continuous regular ways. One methods use...

Summary Aim The present study aimed to investigate the possible alternative factorial structure of patient safety culture model in Iran. Methods This was performed based on data collected by Hospital Survey Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire from 420 staff four hospitals. Internal consistency reliability and construct validity were evaluated Cronbach's alpha correlation analysis. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory (CFA) structural equation modeling (SEM) used...

Oil and gas revenues play an important role in the Iranian economy are main source of government spending a major part commodity exports. Therefore, safe transport these products by pipelines risk assessment great importance. The objective this study was to determine parameters affecting risk, assess risks urban transmission lines equipment, identify high-risk areas prioritize control measures. Risk performed using Kent Muhlbauer method on 19-km pipeline. studied pipeline divided into 94...

Falls from height are one of the main causes fatal occupational injuries. The objective this study was to present a model for estimating occurrence probability falling height.In order make list factors affecting falls, we used four expert group's judgment, literature review and an available database. Then validity reliability designed questionnaire were determined Bayesian networks built. built network, nodes curves quantified. For network sensitivity analysis, types analysis carried out.A...

Purpose. The accident precursor reporting system is a key point in preventing accidents and proper functioning of this critical. In the present study, Iranian East Azarbaijan Province Gas Company was investigated. Methods. This quantitative-qualitative study used field survey document review methods to determine how company reporting. Qualitative content analysis approaches were analyze over 3-year period. From 1209 reports, 2271 codes extracted. Finally, these reduced three clusters: 996...

The purpose of present study is to investigate the characteristic factors responsible for occupational accident occurrence in construction sector. current analyzes 4074 accidents recorded by Ministry labour and social affair offices Iran, from years 2007-2011. First using descriptive statistics methods, we obtained general understanding accidents. Afterwards, utilizing Chi-square test analyzed association between influencing most victims were less than 35 old (64.4%), with elementary...

A permit to work (PTW) system is a formal procedure designed control non-routine and hazardous works. However, this by itself does not prevent incidents, various factors contribute its efficiency. This study aims prioritize the indicators influencing To do this, of were identified scored 15 safety experts. Next, priority weights analyzed an analytic network process Super Decisions version windows 2.10. Accordingly, nine main 43 sub-indicators PTW ranked. The from high low preventive actions,...
