Accidents between

United Nations APELL (Awareness and Preparedness for Emergencies at the Local Level) [15] chemical accident database (storing information on about 300 major chemical accidents between 1970 and 1998) shows that ... 

One reason is that the sensitivities of dynamites were lower than those of the slurry explosives or ANFO. But one must be careful, even if insensitive slurry explosives or ANFO with detonators are misfired and remain, because impact accidents between drill bits and the explosives might still occur. 

Lost time accidents between 1987 and 1999 the global frequency rate for lost workday cases fell from 2.5 cases per 100 employees peryearto 0.21 cases per 100 employees per year. The target for 2000 is 0.1. 

Lost time accidents between 1996 and 1999 the number of lost time incidents fell from21.2tol2.7per million working hours. 

ABSTRACT While probing into the investigation mechanism for the accidents occurring in American coalmines, the differences of the enforcement basis and mechanisms on the coalmine accidents between China and USA are compared and analyzed. Furthermore, the problems of China in the accident investigation mechanism are reviewed in a scientific, independent and systematic approach. Then, the author suggests the American advanced experiences and operations should be learnt, and subsequently comes up with the countermeasures for improving the investigation mechanism of China.

No discussion of aew error is complete without considering the hazard Loss of Situational Awareness , which studies have shown to be a leading causal factor in a review of 175 military aviation nfishaps (Hartel et al., 1991) and a major causal factor in 88% of accidents associated with human error in a review of major aircraft accidents between 1989 and 1992 (Endsley, 2001). 

The US Pedestrian Crash Data Smdy (PCDS) contains a sample of pedestrian accidents between 1994 and 1998, generated by the Transportation Data Center at... 

No significant difference in injury accidents between MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation) sites and SDE/SA (Speed Discrimination/Speed Assessment) control. 

Powered two-wheelers made up 0.6% of trunk road traffic but involved 8.9% of all accidents between 2001 and 2003. 

Table 1.2 shows, for the year 2004/05, the breakdown in accidents between employees, self-employed and members of the public.

A comparison of the progress of typical design basis accidents between standard PWRs and SCOR is summarized in Table V-2. 

In 2012, a representative year, 3,402 accidents between commercial vehicles (trucks and agricultural vehicles) and cyclists occurred in Germany. Furthermore, 55 collisions between pedestrians and turning commercial vehicles occurred in German inner cities. It may reasonably be assumed that these accidents are caused by insufficient information for the driver (blind spots) [1]. An increased field of view (FOV) reduces fatal accidents, especially with cyclists or pedestrians [1] and [2]. 

Despite these improvements there was a great public outcry at the start of the century (Clark, 1974). The main reason was the expansion of the railroads which resulted in increased frequency and visibility of accidents. Between 1890 and 1910, train miles increased by seventy percent and passenger miles by 175 percent. While fatality rates did not increase over the period, the absolute number of casualties did. Total annual fatalities increased by half from 1890 to 1910 (figure 2.1). Over the same period the number of non-employee injuries increased threefold (figure 2.2), and the number of employee injuries increased fourfold. Clark notes that casualties were much higher in the United States than on comparable railroads in Europe. 

The first example, shown in table 7.1, concerns a bilateral accident between the railroad and Party A. Each party can choose either to take no care to avoid an accident or to take care. The effort of taking care imposes a cost of five on the party taking care. The probability of an accident occurring varies between 0.06 and 0.16 depending on the level of care taken by either or both parties. The more care... 

In 1953, lohn W. Hetrick submitted US patent number 2,649,311. This invention included the idea of an airbag to protect passengers in an automobile in the event of an accident. Between 1972 and 1975 cars with airbags were first produced in the United States. In 1990, an American law was passed that required vehicles to either have an airbag or a safety belt automatically closing at the driver s side. Today airbags are standard equipment in every modern vehicle.
