Literature Review - Human Error & the Challenges of an Aging Workforce: Considerations for Improving Workplace Safety - The workforce is graying. Older workers are more likely to make errors than younger workers. What does this mean for SH&E professionals? It means they must better understand how age may impact a worker's capabilities and how to apply that knowledge to create a safer work environment that better matches workers and tasks.Haight, Joel M. et al. | 2003

Program Development - Safety Process Analysis: Improving Safety Results with Process Flowcharts & Maps - A major part of every SH&E professional's responsibility is monitoring workplace activity to identify and eliminate special and common causes of accidents and illnesses before anyone is injured or becomes ill. One effective way to achieve this, the author explains, is safety process analysis, a technique that uses flowcharting and mapping to examine and improve work processes and procedures.ReVelle, Jack B. et al. | 2003

Mine Safety - Out of the Box Approach to Mine Safety: Focus on Construction, Maintenance & Repair Activities - Using the mining industry as an example, the authors offer a new way to evaluate circumstances surrounding injuries. Rather than examine injuries that occur during extraction and production activities, this article focuses on injuries that result from construction, maintenance and repair activities. The authors also consider the broader implications of such an approach to the overall safety function.Kowalski, Kathleen M. et al. | 2003

Accident Causation - Assessing a Fatal HAZRIN: A Case Study with Links to Chaos & Complexity - As the investigation of this fatality caused by a hazards-related occupational incident (HAZRIN) illustrates, workplace accidents are often the result of complex, interwoven causal factors, which typically include elements of design, management decisions and task performance. Thorough analysis of these factors requires the use of several accident causation models and causal tracing techniques.Montante, William M. et al. | 2003

-
Hazard Analysis - Severe Injury Potential: Addressing an Overlooked Safety Management Element - Some SH&E professionals have observed that incidents resulting in severe injury or damage are, mostly, unique and singular events; that their causal factors are different than those for accidents that result in minor injury; and that preventing their occurrence requires special safety management techniques. This article discusses identifying a potential severe injury hazard, the impact of cascading events, addressing risk in the design process, regulatory guidelines and prevention techniques.Manuele, Fred A. et al. | 2003

Incident Investigation - When Is It Time to Worry About Clustering? A Poisson Distribution Tutorial for SH&E Professionals - The "clustering" of loss outcomes is a vexing problem. Are such outcomes simply an effect of statistical randomness or the consequence of a vulnerable system or a heedless worker? The Poisson exponential distribution is an easily mastered analytical approach that SH&E professionals can use when seeking confidence that a cluster of loss events is not simply a product of chance but may have a more insidious underlying cause that deserves attention.Clemens, Pat L. et al. | 2003

Workplace Safety - People-Based Safety: The Psychology of Actively Caring - An injury-free workplace requires attention to three domains: The environment, the person and behavior. These factors are interactive, dynamic and reciprocal. Influencing one factor will eventually impact the other two. Person-based actively caring occurs when people attempt to make others feel better by proactively listening and inquiring with concern. Fostering such behavior will improve safety and health, and will result in a win-win exchange between people that is based on mutual respect and trust. This is the first step toward creating an actively caring culture and an injury-free workplace.Geller, E.Scott et al. | 2003

Engineering Safety - Carbon Monoxide & Houseboats - CO poisoning on houseboats continues to be a serious problem. In 2001, NIOSH conducted evaluations of an engineering control designed to redirect CO exhaust. This article discusses the results of these evaluations and compares the typical (rear-transom) generator exhaust configuration to the retrofit (dry-stack) generator exhaust configuration. The researchers suggest that a combination of engineering controls, boater education and surveillance is needed to evaluate and mitigate the hazards.Dunn, Kevin H. et al. | 2003
