ACC member companies are required to establish company-specific goals against which progress is measured toward the common vision of no accidents, injuries, or harm to the environment. An example of one such goal is to limit the annual number of process safety incidents below a target level.

Recommendation 5c. The Army and its operating contractors should automate as much as feasible important medical information related to worker exposure to facilitate epidemiological studies. Automated information, available at the programmatic level, should include, but should not be limited to, results of medical examinations, evaluations of exposure to agents, measurements of cholinesterase levels, heat-stress data, and accident/injury information. 

All prescription drug abuse may lead to harmful consequences such as accidents, injuries, blackouts, legal problems, and unsafe sexual behavior, which can increase the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Specifically, each class of drugs has certain potentially life-threatening consequences of abuse. The abuse of opioids may lead to severe respiratory depression and inability to breathe, which can lead to death. Depressants may also cause respiratory depression and may lead to seizures if an addict suddenly stops taking them. Stimulants speed up the body s activities and raise blood pressure and heart rate, and when abused, may lead to a heart attack, stroke, or a seizure. Combinations...

When a driver is arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, the blood alcohol content is determined to see if it exceeds the legal limit. The measurement of breath alcohol is usually done for routine driving arrests because it is noninvasive, and a factor is applied to convert to blood alcohol concentration (BAG). But this is subject to biological variations in individuals. In cases where there is an accident, injury, or death, the blood alcohol is usually determined directly, by analyzing a blood sample by gas chromatography. 

Human Hazard—For hazards to humans and domestic animals, the required precautionary statement serves as an expansion of the front panel signal word. Precautionary statements must indicate the nature of the hazard involved, the route or routes of exposure, and the precautions that should be taken to avoid accident, injury, or damage (162.10(h)(2)(i)). The appropriate hazard signal word must immediately precede the precautionary statement paragraph. See Table 10.3 for examples of precautionary statements by toxicity category as they appear in EPA s current regulations.

No uniform standard of compensation of work-related accidents, the majority of enterprises to industrial injury accident compensation has many man-made factors and random factors, generally at a failed to follow State, the amount of compensation is generally low, and the compensation is often not in place in time. Conflicts between employers and employees in turn, affects the social harmony and stabiUty, and become an urgent social problems. Lower compensation amount, the objective is also to make some employers do not pay attention to safety work, or even ignore the occurrence of accidents, further exacerbated by the frequent occurrence of accidents, injuries caught in the vicious cycle, is not conducive to safety. Meanwhile, the workers life, health, safety and other legal rights are not adequately protected. 

Accidents are expensive. To successfully incorporate prevention in the workplace, management must be shown that accidents are more expensive than prevention. To do this, they must be able to estimate the cost of accidents. The costs associated with workplace accidents, injuries, and incidents fall into the broad categories listed in Figure 3-1.

Five of the 15 forms received require entry of codes for causal factors, incident types, and injury t)q)es. When computer analysis programs first became available, I had been an aggressive promoter of the entiy of causal factor codes for later analysis. That proved to be inappropriate because accurate causal data are often not included in supervisors investigation reports or in insurance claims reports. Now, I recommend that computer-based analysis systems not include provision for causal data entry. They serve analysis purposes quite well for types of accidents, injury types, parts of body injured, and identification data (location, age, job title, etc.). 

Behavior-based safety is based on one of the oldest and most outdated approaches to safety — the Heinrich premise that 88% of all industrial accidents are caused primarily by unsafe acts of persons [p. 1]. Behavior-based safety does not focus on what really causes accidents. Injuries and illnesses are caused by exposures to hazards. What do I mean by hazards Hazards include any aspect of technology or activity that produces risk. If the work methods designed and prescribed put employees at risk, those methods are hazardous [p. 5].
