This research explores the association between fatigue-induced crash risk, transit operator hours of service and fatigue management policies in the state of Florida. Data used in this study include incident data archived by transit agencies and bus driver schedules. The results show a decreasing trend of collision risks when drivers start their schedules late morning or afternoon compared with early morning. The effect of time on task shows increasing collision risk as drivers drive long hours without enough off duty periods. Source : Mtoi E, Moses R, Sando T. J. Transp. Res. Forum 2013; 52(1)...

Older stage lighting instruments can be quaint, still functional, and educational, however you can run the risk of electrocution and asbestos exposure with many of them. Source : http://theatresafetyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/05/blast-from-past-can-give-you-jolt.html
The dangers of the quartz halogen work light are well known: They can heat up to more than 570 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to ignite paper and wood. The 500W quartz halogen portable work light is everywhere, and why not? They are cheap, easily moved, and they put out a lot of light to help you work in an area. And while they come in a couple of different styles (on tripods, floor stands, or magnet mounts), at their core they are all the same: dangerous tools that harm workers, start fires, and set off explosions. In our experience working with contractors, electricians, and plant workers, we...
The UK's guide to event operations and safety, also known as HSG195, has been under revision for the past half year, and the committee's work is now available for public input. The open comment period will last until the end of October 2013, after which all comments received will be reviewed for integration. Covering both legislation and good practice, this new guide has been designed to alert and inform both event organizers and suppliers to the practices and issues that need to be considered when events are being organized. The contents are not designed to be prescriptive, and those using...

Drivers' response times were just as delayed and their performance just as affected by it as by standard texting, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute found. A new study confirms voice-to-text technology is just as distracting for drivers as standard texting, meaning it offers no real safety advantage. The study was sponsored by the Southwest Region University Transportation Center and conducted by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, which released it April 23.

Une campagne nationale de sensibilisation, sous forme d'émission TV, informe sur les risques pour la santé des personnes exposées à l'amiante, les techniques d'intervention et les exigences réglementaires. Trois messages sont relayés : • l'amiante, qu'est ce que je risque ? • l'amiante, où je le trouve ? • l'amiante, si je ne suis pas formé je n'interviens pas.

Les actions de prévention sont déclinées selon six axes dans une démarche globale et participative. Pour chaque axe, les outils élaborés et publiés par l'INRS sont référencés pour aider les acteurs dans la mise en place des actions. Ce document donne donc une vue d'ensemble de la démarche et situe tous les outils précédemment publiés dans cet ensemble.

The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration unveiled a new bilingual English-Spanish booklet, "Falling Off Ladders Can Kill: Use Them Safely." The short guide, part of OSHA's national campaign to prevent fatal falls — the leading cause of death in construction — provides clear, easy-to-follow information about ladder hazards and how to use ladders safely, featuring illustrations and plain language writing. The falls prevention campaign now enters its second year and OSHA is working with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the...
In reflecting on his career, Archie Cochrane once said that he felt it was a pity that he was mainly remembered for his work on randomised controlled trials (RCTs). He actually felt more proud of the research he had done on behalf of workers in British coal mines.[1] Based on his work, dust levels in coal mines have been lowered considerably, reducing the risk of pneumoconiosis. There have been improvements in many other occupational safety and health (OSH) statistics, such as injury rates and exposures to chemical agents,[2] but there are also OSH problems for which the statistics have not shown...
