Are the contributing and causal factors similar between Severe Incidents & Fatalities (SIFs) and non-fatal incidents?

Will eliminating the minor potential, low-energy hazards help prevent the major potential hazards?

Today we explore the following paper: Bayona, A., Hallowell, M. R., & Bhandari, S. (2024). TheThings That Hurt People Are Not the Same as the Things That Kill People: Key Differences in the Proximal Causes of Low-and High-Severity Construction Injuries.

Do you trust your accident statistics? Are they accurate reflections of reality, or dangerously misleading?

In this episode, we explore the following study which evaluates the extent of accident underreporting:

Probst, T. M., & Graso, M. (2013). Pressure to produce = pressure to reduce accident reporting?. Accident Analysis & Prevention, 59, 580-587.
