The impact of safety culture dimensions on workplace accidents: an application in the Moroccan automotive industry

Introduction: There is a general accord that safety culture is multidimensional. but limited research and publications are there about those dimensions. Almost one-third of the publications presenting safety culture definitions do not discuss the safety culture dimension nor the relationship between the safety culture dimensions and workplace accidents. To further understand the factors influencing this correlation. it appeared appropriate in this situation to investigate the relationship between the safety culture dimensions and occupational accidents. This study aims to identify the safety culture dimensions in the automotive industry in Morocco and its relations with occupational accidents. Methods: A study was done with 35 of the largest automotive companies in Morocco. the effects of Safety Culture dimensions on workplace accidents in the automotive industry were examined based on the literature review. and a measurement questionnaire that was created with a sample of numerous automotive workers for 2 months in the winter semester of November and December 2022. Results: The results highlight that the safety culture dimensions have a strong influence on avoiding accidents especially the safety culture's dimensions which present 40%. In addition, the COVID-19 period had a big impact on the number of occupational accidents in the automotive sector. 40.54% of these occupational accidents occurred between 2020 and 2022. Conclusion: Based on the results gained from the Questionnaire the common safety culture dimensions are employees’ attitudes or unsafe behaviors, lack of staff participation, and inadequate supervision.

Identifying Risk Factors and Evaluating Occupational Safety in South Korean Forestry Sector

The forestry industry poses a higher risk of occupational accidents than other sectors, and understanding the occurrence and characteristics of injuries and fatalities is crucial for improving the safety and health of workers and establishing future strategies. In South Korea, although occupational injuries have declined since 2010, the number of occupational accidents in forestry remains higher than that in other sectors. Occupational injuries and fatalities present considerable challenges, and thus, our objective was to analyze and compare forestry accidents between 2010 and 2020. The results indicate that the highest average number of injuries occurred among workers older than 51 years and those with less than 6 months of experience. Timber harvesting and silviculture are among the most dangerous operations in forestry. Based on the analyzed dataset, amputation and laceration injuries, as well as slip and trip injuries, were the most common, accounting for 29.2% and 22.3% of total annual occupational accidents, respectively. These results may be explained by the labor-intensive, steep terrain operations in forestry. Our findings represent an essential resource for improving worker safety and health.

A Dynamic Risk Analysis Model Based on Workplace Ergonomics and Demographic-Cognitive Characteristics of Workers

Background: This study aimed to examine the effect of perception, attention, and sleep levels on the number of occupational accidents and near-misses in the mining and metal sectors. Methods: The data were collected from 53 employees in the mining (n = 30) and metal (n = 23) sectors in 2021 from a mining and metal company. The study collected the following data from the sample: demographic information forms, previous accident and previous near-miss histories, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality (PSQI) scale, pulse, sleep levels, and attention tests. Results: Having an education at primary school and below (B = 0.235; p < 0.05), and having an education at the high school level (B = 0.710; p < 0.01), being single (B = −0.291; p < 0.01), time working in the department (B = 0.027; p < 0.05), time working in the company (B = −0.034; p < 0.05), and the number of near-misses (B = 0.354; p < 0.01), had a significant impact on accidents. Having an education in primary school or below (B = −1.532; p < 0.01), not having had an accident (B = −3.654; p < 0.01), age (B = 0.074; p < 0.01), correct score (B = 0.014; p < 0.01), incorrect time (B = 0.228; p < 0.01) and unanswered score averages (B = −0.029; p < 0.01) had a significant impact on near-misses. Conclusion: Education, the working year, and working time had significant effects on workplace accidents.

Fatal Tractor Accidents in the Agricultural Sector in Spain during the Past Decade

Currently, there is a discrepancy between the number of occupational accidents in the agricultural sector reported by Spanish governmental sources and those actually occurring in general. This is mainly due to the official definition of ‘occupational accident’ in the current regulations. In order to be able to analyse all fatal accidents involving tractors, other sources of information must therefore be used. In this study, we have collected the news published in different media during the period 2010–2019. Statistical models that take into account the spatial and temporal dependence of the data were used to estimate the rates of fatal accidents in the provinces of Spain using the Bayesian inference technique INLA (Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation). The results obtained showed that the total number of fatal accidents in that period was 644. The crude rates of fatal accidents per province ranged from 0 to 223.5 fatal accidents per 100,000 registered tractors. In addition, the overall rate for Spain as a whole was 6.87 fatal accidents per 100,000 tractors. As in other EU countries, it was found that the regions with the highest number of accidents were also related to steep terrain, to an older tractor fleet and to horticultural crops and vineyards.

Expert perspective on health and safety determinants in wineries.

The scientific literature contextualizes health and safety (H&S) in two major models, the first is based on a holistic perspective with H&S processes in all company departments, and the second approaches health and safety management from a more operational perspective. In this study, we examine the issue of health and safety in wineries. In 2017, a census showed that wineries account for 14% of the food and beverage industry in Spain. They provide direct employment for 24,051 people and involve complex winemaking processes that can cause accidents or occupational diseases. Wineries are part of the industrial sector, which, with 5,264 lost-time accidents per 100,000 workers in 2017, ranks second in the number of occupational accidents in Spain. This shows the need to determine the changes needed to improve health and safety in wineries. In this study, we identify H&S determinants in wineries using Delphi methodology with a panel of 11 experts. The experts gave high scores to the "activities" dimension, and others such as "control of personal and collective protective equipment" and "training", together with "accident investigation", "coordinated health and safety measures" and "signage" are associated with operational health and safety determinants, namely, capitalizing on knowledge gained in situ and promoting organizational learning.

Occupational Аccidents and Near-Miss Events in the Internal Medicine Services: Turkey Sample in University Hospital

Background. Health institutions are considered occupational areas with high risk due to the need for human resources, including numerous specialists with distinct characteristics, use of intensive technology, and complex occupational processes. The importance of occupational health and safety, which aims to eliminate or minimize all these negativities, is increasing rapidly. The purpose of this study is to examine the frequency of exposure to occupational accidents and near-miss events of the nurses and physicians working in the internal ­medicine units of a university hospital, and their reporting status and factors affecting these characteristics. Materials and methods. This research is a descriptive study, and the data of the recent year have been evaluated. The research was carried out in internal medicine units of a university hospital in Istanbul. The data in this study were collected by using the “Evaluation Form for Occupational Accidents and Near-Miss Events” which was created by the researchers. Results. A total of 117 individuals, 83 women (70.94 %), and 34 men (29.06 %) participated in this study. Of the participants, 59 were nurses (50.43 %), and 58 were physicians (49.57 %). There was a significant moderate positive correlation (r = 0.305) between age and the number of occupational accidents (p = 0.039). The average number of occupational accidents experienced by nurses (1.31 ± 0.74) was found to be lower than physicians (2.80 ± 2.53) (p = 0.006). The number of near-miss incidents experienced by physicians (2.79 ± 4.30) was higher than the nurses (1.29 ± 83.00) (p = 0.032). Conclusions. Every workplace accident or near-miss event experienced by healthcare professionals should be reported and analyzed carefully to prevent future workplace accidents. Training of health professionals on health risks they may encounter and protective measures against occupational accidents have vital importance.

Safety Integrated Model-training (SIM-t) and its evaluation: A safety training proposal for mechanical companies

In the EU-28, the number of occupational accidents is still too high, with serious social and economic consequences. We have devised an intervention called Safety Integrated Model-training (SIM-t) with the aim of unifying the most effective training methods for adults in a single proposal. SIM-t involves the use of audiovisual materials (ad hoc products for each company), a participatory approach, and regular and lasting reinforcement in daily practice. The training intervention is divided into several sessions over several weeks. For its evaluation, we conducted a longitudinal study (September 2017–April 2018), with the participation of workers (n = 185) from mechanical companies in northern Italy. Measures relating to knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, perception of the health, and safety climate were collected at baseline and in subsequent follow-ups. Overall, the participants’ average safety performance at the end of the training was significantly better than the initial level. In summary, the SIM-t and its evaluation methodology are an integrated intervention proposal providing companies with a safety training protocol and a test of its effectiveness. The contents that emerged from the study suggest extending this training intervention and the evaluation of its effectiveness to different contexts.

Comparative study for assessing the OSH relationship to the quality of construction projects in Egypt

Background: Construction and architectural projects(CAPs) play a significant role in the economic development of most countries. The construction industry in Egypt has significantly grown in recent years. Due to this growth, the number of occupational accidents in the country’s construction industry has also increased. Methods: This study aimed to assess the Occupational Safety and Health(OSH) field. Then, the assessment effects on the construction project quality are evaluated. The statistical analysis of the question naire surveys conducted on project safety, quality, and executive management at construction companies based on the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS). Results: After comparing two sites, the research results indicated differences in completion times and overall costs between the two sites.70% of the respondents agreed that the completion times, costs, and project qualities vary between the two sites. About 92% of the sample completely agreed and were willing to follow the international laws, which stipulate the principles of OSH in construction sites. They also agreed that there should be an increased understand in gof the importance of OSH management in sites, which can help prevent clashes between the two departments. Conclusions: Companies should hire a social worker to take care of the workers, help them solve their problems, and ensure that safety standards are being met in the construction sites. In addition, regular medical examinations of all workers must be conducted to ensure that the yare free from any occupational, non-infectious, or infectious diseases, such as the coronavirus.

Development of a Conceptual Framework for Occupational Safety and Health in Palestinian Manufacturing Industries.

The annual increase in the number of occupational accidents and diseases in the Palestinian manufacturing industries confirms a serious problem that threatens the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in such industries, with negative consequences in the society and economy. As the Palestinian OSH data are insufficient, tightwad, and with discrepancies in published data by different agencies, this study aimed to investigate the OSH status in the Palestinian manufacturing industries and determine the Palestinian OSH trends rates based on international practice in the EU and USA. Also, to shed light on the OSH situation in the manufacturing sector and warrant the inspection and monitoring of industries by the respective officials. The OSH data of 175 industrial establishments and 199 industrial employees was collected by meetings, interviews, and structured questionnaires for the period 2009–2016. The US and EU OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) formulas were used to calculate the OSH rates. The analysis showed that 32.30% of the industrial employees suffered from occupational injuries. The average injury rate was 7566 per 100,000 workers, indicating a low OSH level in the Palestinian manufacturing industries. The leather industry was found as the most dangerous in terms of OSH, with an average safety performance factor (SPF) of 145.6 off days/accident. Pearson’s chi-square test (χ2) revealed a correlation between occupational accidents and injuries and the employees’ commitment and lost working days. An OSH framework was developed based on safety and sustainable development pillars to assure effective enforcement of the OSH law and prevent future occupational accidents and diseases.

SAĞLIK ÇALIŞANLARININ YAŞADIĞI İŞ KAZALARI VE İLİŞKİLİ FAKTÖRLER

This study is a cross-sectional study conducted to determine the occupational accidents experienced by healthcare workers and their relationship factors. 610 healthcare professionals working in Aydın Adnan Menderes Application and Research Hospital constituted the sample of the study. A 40-question questionnaire and the Occupational Safety Scale in Hospitals developed by Öztürk and Babacan (2012) were used as data collection tools in the study. Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests were used to evaluate the data. As a result of the research, the average age of healthcare workers was determined as 29.11±6.11 and the number of occupational accidents was found to be 2.51±1.84. Healthcare workers received an average of 131.48±36.18 points from the Hospital Occupational Safety Scale. Health workers had a higher rate of accidents than those who worked in shifts and those who worked overtime compared to those who did not. The rate of occupational accidents is observed to be high among healthcare workers working in operating rooms and emergency departments. The rate of having an occupational accident was found to be lower for healthcare workers who received Occupational Health and Safety Training than those who did not. Evaluation of occupational accidents and related factors in different sample groups in line with these results; It is recommended to include training activities for risk groups.

Regresso ao Trabalho após Acidente Laboral

Introduction / background / objectives Most Occupational Health teams do not have concrete experience in developing an action plan that aims to enhance the return of injured employees, especially when the work limitations are reasonable. The purpose of this review was to summarize the most recent and pertinent published data on the subject. Methodology This is a Scoping Review, initiated through a survey conducted in December 2019, in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina, SCOPUS and RCAAP”. Content The articles that addressed this subject were scarce and not exhaustive. In the selected documents, some circumstances/ conditions were highlighted that can modulate the return to work; sometimes the authors did not specify the meaning of that influence, but in other cases they made it clear whether it enhanced or impaired the issue. Work accidents cause significant morbidity and costs worldwide, considering both direct and indirect expenses (such as lost productivity, changes in the insurer’s wages, employee turnover and training, investigation of the event and possible compensation, depending on the legislation of each country). Conclusions It seems that the return to work is facilitated with a fair and quick injury management, a team with experience to guide these process, good communication between the different parties involved, less serious injuries, less physically burdensome tasks, absence of economic/ social interests to delay return, good copping skills and healthier self-perception of the general medical condition. It would be very pertinent for some Occupational Health teams, that work with large clients and/ or with a reasonable number of occupational accidents that have resulted in considerable absences and/ or limitations, to investigate which are the best postures/ conditions that facilitate the return to work, subsequently publishing its conclusions.

Implementation of occupational health and safety (OHS) management system in The Villa Babakan Canggu Badung development project

The general objective of the research is to find out the measured data of standard or SOP deviations with the implementation of OHS in the field and to find out the causes of the implementation of OHS as an influence on the number of occupational accidents that occur in construction projects. The research method uses descriptive and observational design, research data in the form of questionnaires as primary data and OHS plan reports as secondary data. As subjects in the study were 25 workers in the Villa Babakan Canggu building project. Based on the results of the analysis through the initial level internal audit with 64 criteria according to Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012 concerning the application of OHS, the assessment level of the application of OHS was 80.45 percent with the category of good application and the results of the quiz test stated that the workers agreed that the project implementers had prepared working conditions accordingly with OHS standard with a score of 1.75. Workers do their job with a natural work attitude with a score of 1.68.

What Are the Occupational Risks in Forestry? Results of a Long-Term Study in Slovakia.

Temporal patterns in occupational safety and health can shed light on the efficiency of safety measures companies adopt and identify when workers are prone to occupational accidents. We analyzed these patterns to identify the effects of factors such as the share of salvage logging, experience, age, daytime, weekday, and more on the number of occupational accidents at Forests of the Slovak Republic (FSR). We analyzed a database of 2963 occupational accidents and 443 occupational illnesses suffered by FSR employees and contractors. We then analyzed a subset of said database, containing 401 accident records coded according to European Statistics at Work manual. We used regression and correlation analyses and generalized linear models to test the relationship between the accident frequency and volume of harvested timber and volume of salvage logging. We used logistic regression, chi2 tests, and Cramér’s V statistic to test when accidents occur within shifts, weeks, and months. We found the volume of harvested timber significantly affects the frequency of severe and fatal accidents of contractors (R 0.81; p < 0.05), whereas, for employees, the relationship was insignificant. Over time, the number of accidents and incidence rate decreased, and inexperienced or older workers were the most prone to accidents.

Comparison of estimated occupational health and safety costs with actual costs in maintenance and repair projects of public buildings

Public building stock in Turkey is getting older and more funds are transferred for repairs and maintenance of these public buildings. Parallel to this growth, a significant increase is observed in the number of occupational accidents occurring in the Turkish construction sector. This case study focuses on compulsory investments in small or middle-scale repairs and maintenance projects of public buildings. In the determination of occupational health and safety (OHS) costs which are an integral part of the project costs, a model combining risk-based activity analysis and activity-based cost analysis is utilized and computer software developed as a calculation instrument for this model is used. The ratio of actual and estimated OHS costs to the approximate cost was found to be 3.98 and 3.58%, respectively. Further research should be conducted to test the reliability of this model and its calculation tool in estimating the actual OHS cost before the tender stage.

Analysis of occupational accidents in the construction industry with regards to selected time parameters

Abstract The construction industry is characterized by a large variety and variability of implementation conditions. Construction works are carried out throughout the whole calendar year under varying atmospheric conditions, both during the day and also during the evening and night. Construction workers also often work overtime that exceeds the eight-hour working day. Work in such conditions creates a particularly high threat to the health and life of working people. In the issues of work safety the most important is worker, who in the accident process has a triple role: the decision maker, the perpetrator of an accident and the victim. The purpose of this article is to examine whether there is a dependence between the number of occupational accidents in the construction industry and time parameters such as: the time of an accident, the day of the week and the month in which an accident occurred. The article also attempts to determine the dependence between the age of the injured person, work experience and the number of hours worked by the injured person from the time of starting work to the moment of the accident.

Studi Pendahuluan Untuk Pengembangan Indeks Kesiapan Kerja Harian

Work related accident is a problem that needs to be considered seriously in Indonesia. The number of occupational accidents is increasing significantly from 96,314 in 2009 to 110,285 in 2015. The mortality rate in these cases is very high. This research aims to develop a daily fitness for duty index as a measurement to ensure that workers are able to work effectively and safely. Systematic literature review had been carried out through several stages, i.e. 1) determination of searching strategy, and searching process, 2) determination of searching criteria, 3) quality control for literature, and 4) conclusion. The experiment involved four participants. They divided into two groups: night shift workers and morning shift workers. Total sleep time, heart rate at rest, reaction time, and body weight were recorded during the experiment. The daily fitness for duty index has been developed that consider sleep sufficiency factor, circadian cycle misalignment factor, and individual factor. The daily fitness for duty index has a strong correlation with subjective work readiness measurement. Therefore, it can be concluded that the daily fitness for duty index is trustworthy to measure fitness for duty.

The result of the research shows that 46,9% of respondents have work accident, 53,1% of respondents have unsafe behavior, 53,1% of respondent have unsafe condition, 56,3% respondent have bad knowledge. From the statistical test results known there was a relationship between unsafe acts with work accidents, there was a relationship between unsafe conditions with work accidents and there was a relationship between knowledge with accidents. To reduce the number of occupational accidents, it is expected that workers should always working with using personal protective equipment (PPE), create a safe working environment and for the owner in order to improve worker knowledge by providing training and promotion of occupational health and safetty such as counseling about PPE.Key words : Work Accident, Unsafe Action, Unsafe Condition, Knowledge

Effects of human and organizational deficiencies on workers' safety behavior at a mining site in Iran.

OBJECTIVESThroughout the world, mines are dangerous workplaces with high accident rates. According to the Statistical Center of Iran, the number of occupational accidents in Iranian mines has increased in recent years. This study investigated and analyzed the human and organizational deficiencies that influenced Iranian mining accidents.METHODSIn this study, the data associated with 305 mining accidents were analyzed using a systems analysis approach to identify critical deficiencies in organizational influences, unsafe supervision, preconditions for unsafe acts, and workers’ unsafe acts. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to model the interactions among these deficiencies.RESULTSOrganizational deficiencies had a direct positive effect on workers’ violations (path coefficient, 0.16) and workers’ errors (path coefficient, 0.23). The effect of unsafe supervision on workers’ violations and workers’ errors was also significant, with path coefficients of 0.14 and 0.20, respectively. Likewise, preconditions for unsafe acts had a significant effect on both workers’ violations (path coefficient, 0.16) and workers’ errors (path coefficient, 0.21). Moreover, organizational deficiencies had an indirect positive effect on workers’ unsafe acts, mediated by unsafe supervision and preconditions for unsafe acts. Among the variables examined in the current study, organizational influences had the strongest impact on workers’ unsafe acts.CONCLUSIONSOrganizational deficiencies were found to be the main cause of accidents in the mining sector, as they affected all other aspects of system safety. In order to prevent occupational accidents, organizational deficiencies should be modified first.

The unique characteristics and dynamic nature of the construction industry lead to a dangerous condition and prone to accidents. The death rate due to accidents in the construction industry in 2015 increased by 4% compared to 2014. The number of occupational accidents in Indonesia from year to year experienced a trend of an increase of 5%. Unsafe behavior of workers was the main cause of 88% of accidents in the construction site, 10% due to unsafe conditions, and 2% due to the unavoidable things. In addition, the complexity of construction equipment and unsafe environment significantly determined the type of accident and severity of injuries. This study aims to propose the probability model to predict the construction worker accidents in construction projects. To improve the accuracy of the assessment of workplace accidents, Bayesian Belief Networks used as a study analysis to represent the relationship among unsafe factors such as unsafe behavior factors, unsafe environment and unsafe equipment that lead to accidents. The data was collected through project site survey, questionnaire, and interview to OSH Managers in ten construction projects. The validation is done by applying the model on four case of a high rise building. The results showed that were 1) unsafe factors which affect directly the construction worker accident based on the BBN model was unsafe condition and unsafe behaviour, 2) BBN model could predict the worker accidents of the construction project accurately up to 85,07%. More accurate results of construction worker accident predictions and probabilistic model can be updating in realtime events could useful to assist the practitioners and all stakeholders especially those directly involved in construction industry and to get some recommendations steps and preventive actions in order to minimize the occurrence of fatal work accidents and improve occupational safety and health (OSH) as well as to contribute knowledge about the factors that influence the occurrence of accidents.
