Injuries type/source/cause

The safety officer should analyze each accident report and classify it using a systematic method. Occupational injuries should be divided into type, source, and cause. Type refers to the kind of injury involved and usually falls into one of the following classes ... 

Although the basic pathophysiology is similar for the various causes of hypovolemic shock, there are unique considerations relative to each. For example, whereas isolated head injuries associated with trauma typically do not result in substantial blood loss or shock, pelvic fractures may sequester several liters of blood as hematoma formation. Patients with traumatic or thermal injuries, as well as postoperative patients, may have substantial fluid accumulation in sites where it cannot be readily transferred back into blood vessels (i.e., third-spaced fluid) for maintaining pressure. With these types of injuries, prompt control of compressible bleeding sources with rapid patient transfer to the hospital for definitive treatment may preclude the cascade of events leading to shock. Indeed, with trauma patients, a scoop and run approach is used in most urban hospitals that places a priority on rapid transport to a hospital. ... 

Sources of TNFa. Various stimuli such as endotoxins, superantigens, osmotic stress, injury, inflammation, and radiation can cause the release of TNFa [48]. TNFa is produced mainly by monocytes and/or macrophages and T cells [45,48]. However, small amounts of TNFa can be released by various other cell types [44, 52]. For instance, Schwann cells can produce TNFa after injury. Like several other cytokines, TNFa can induce its own production as well [52].

Common Uses. One of the most common uses of radioactive materials is in medicine, where they have been used since about 1900. Radioactive materials are used in most hospitals and in many small clinics for two different types of medical applications. The first is diagnosis, during whieh a small amount of radioactive material is injected into a person. As the amount of radioaetive material used does not cause harm to the person, these uses have not resulted in any serious emergencies. The second type of medical use is for treatment. During treatment, radioaetive material is used, in most cases, to destroy cancer cells or tissue. If the sources ean kUl or destroy cancers or other organs, they ean also cause injury or death if improperly eontroUed. 

Somewhere in the mosaic of atherosclerosis, vascular sensitivity and reaction resembling an allergic response may occur. Hypertension of renal origin may be paralleled by the contribution of some component by the kidney (or by some sources excited by the hypertension or Injured kidney) that causes a predisposition of the arterial wall toward atherosclerosis. Vascular Injury of the "serum sickness" type from vascular... 

As you identify the sources of energy whose release could be injurious or deadly in your work area, you will need to ensure that these sources are prevented from releasing their force on unsuspecting workers. By becoming knowledgeable regarding the types, causes, occupations, and industries that have fatalities, you can take steps to ensure that occupational deaths do not take place at your company. 

The indirect methods cover the incident and accident analysis. The criterion of hazard is the damage or injury caused by an incident or accident, respectively. Accident analysis methods include in-depth-studies and statistical analyses. Incident techniques extend the accident analysis to more frequent cases of damages. According to the ratio principle of near misses, damages, and injuries the prevention of damage incidents may simultaneously reduce the probability of injuries to appear, provided that a common source of hazards for both types of incidents exists.
