Temporary jobs and the severity of workplace accidents [PDF]
Journal of Safety Research, 2016 From the point of view of workplace safety, it is important to know whether having a temporary job has an effect on the severity of workplace accidents. We present an empirical analysis on the severity of workplace accidents by type of contract.We used microdata collected by the Italian national institute managing the mandatory insurance against work ...

Severe Accidents Management in PWRs
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractThis paper identifies severe accident management strategies developed for current evolutionary reactors and deals with implementation of some measures to existing nuclear power plants, which do not include severe accident mitigation measures in their original design projects.

International Journal on Cybernetics & Informatics, 2023 Road accidents have significant economic and societal costs, with a small number of severe accidents accounting for a large portion of these costs. Predicting accident severity can help in the proactive approach to road safety by identifying potential unsafe road conditions and taking well-informed actions to reduce the number of severe accidents. This

Drug use and the severity of a traffic accident [PDF]
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2005 Several studies have showed that driving under the influence of alcohol and/or certain illicit or medicinal drugs increases the risk of a (severe) crash. Data with respect to the question whether this also leads to a more severe accident are sparse. This study examines the relationship between the use of alcohol, illicit drugs and/or medicinal drugs ...
