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)...
Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) are commonly used across all industrial sectors by a whole variety of trades, including mechanical and electrical contractors, and painters and decorators, as a safe, temporary method of working at height. There is a large range of MEWPs on the market and their controls and functionality varies depending on the category, manufacturer, model and size of machine. As their popularity and range of applications has grown, concerns have emerged about trapping/crushing accidents involving MEWPs. This report identifies accidents involving MEWPs and analyses common...
HSE has carried out a programme of research projects focused on MEWPs, in order to provide a better understanding of some of the issues involved and to help work towards their improved and safer design and operation. An initial phase of work, reported in HSE Research Report RR961, examined the human factors involved in such accidents as a means of identifying possible solutions. The subsequent phase of work (to be published later in 2013) went on to critically evaluate MEWP control interfaces and platform environments. The work detailed in this current report is the third phase of MEWPs research...
In-vehicle monitoring (black box) technology is rapidly increasing in the UK, with many different forms of this technology now available. Essentially it monitors how, when and where a vehicle is being driven, records the data and provide an analysis as feedback to the driver and/or other parties. Some also provide in-vehicle alerts if pre-set parameters are exceeded (for example, hard acceleration). The driving behaviours that are monitored are ones that influence the likelihood of the driver crashing (for example, speed) or the severity of the crash (for example, seat belt use). These are proxies...
The storage of dangerous substances is a high risk procedure: a historical analysis revealed that 17% of the major accidents associated with the chemical industry are related to this process. When a storage facility is designed, the investment in safety is not always optimal. The safety measures that are applied are sometimes redundant or ill-maintained. One way to improve safety in a storage facility would be to take advantage of the fact that dividing the mass of dangerous substance results in less catastrophic accidents. In this paper, we present a new method for optimizing the design of storage...
Chaque année en France, une vingtaine de personnes décède et 1 200 000 jours de travail sont perdus suite à des incidents impliquant des matériels de manutention et de levage. Une société française, Proxipi, a imaginé un système innovant de prévention des collisions engin/piéton à prévenance bi-directionnelle, alertant aussi bien le conducteur de l’engin que le piéton. La particularité de ce système est qu’il est efficace dans tous les environnements, même métalliques...
Sous-titré L'utilisation sécuritaire, le nouveau guide de Via Prévention présente les moyens pour minimiser tous ces risques. Le document reprend également les principales composantes techniques de l'équipement et expose les spécifications normatives encadrant les activités de santé sécurité du travail d'une utilisation sécuritaire des batteries Source : http://www.viaprevention.com/upload/viaprevention/publications/201289103310-2.pdf
How do organizations react and learn from accidents? The current paper deals with the justified necessity of acting upon, and learning from accidents. The aim is to discuss organizational dynamics and interplay, evoked and put into (re)action 'after the fact'. The paper is part of an interview study that was designed to invite individuals to reflect back, and search for patterns in terms of how they interpret the learning impact of an accident, not just in terms of changes within their own organization that can be traced back to accidents, but for the sector as a whole. A presumption for...
Many falls from vehicles occur during loading and unloading – you don't have to fall far to land hard. This page give you further information on where these risk are. Source : http://www.hse.gov.uk/fallsfromvehicles/index.htm?eban=govdel-motor-vehicle-repair&cr=11-Jun-2012
The revised materials address OSHA's Materials Handling and Storage standard that protects workers who service single-piece and multi-piece rim wheels. OSHA has revised its tire servicing materials to address current hazards in the industry and help workers safely perform maintenance on large vehicle tires. The revised materials address OSHA's Materials Handling and Storage standard that protects workers who service single-piece and multi-piece rim wheels. Following recent talks with representatives from tire, rubber, and wheel manufacturers, OSHA determined a need for new materials with...

Green jobs—good for the environment, good for the economy. But how do we assure that green jobs are also good for workers? The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), through the Prevention through Design Program, launched the Going Green: Safe and Healthy Jobs initiative to make sure that green jobs are good for workers by integrating worker safety and health sustainability. Green jobs, which have been defined broadly as jobs that help improve the environment and enhance sustainability, offer opportunities as well as challenges for workers. Examples of green jobs include...
This report contains case studies in managing risks to road transport drivers. The cases cover freight drivers and bus drivers and feature a variety of initiatives and interventions to protect drivers. They show that by taking account of how the sector operates in practice, and the characteristics of drivers themselves and the way they work, risks can be successfully managed.

Loading vehicles and transporting goods on the road may be the most dangerous work activity carried out by many companies operating in the UK. Previous research carried out for HSE by HSL highlighted the risks to operators and other parties when goods are transported on the roads and, following the publication of the research, industry stakeholders expressed concern regarding the current methods of loading and securing roll cages in single and double-deck trailers. This report seeks to give an overview of current practice, legislation and guidance, identify the problems associated with transporting...
Le secteur du déménagement est confronté à un grand nombre de risques professionnels. La planification et l'organisation de chaque déménagement sont des étapes indispensables qui participent à l'évaluation des risques. Effectuée le plus en amont possible, avec la participation active des salariés, elle favorise l'identification des contraintes inhérentes à l'activité et doit permettre d'améliorer les conditions de travail et la qualité des prestations.
