Type I Events

The majority (60%) of workplace homicides involve a person entering a small late-night retail establishment, e.g., liquor store, gas station, or a convenience food store, to commit a robbery. During the commission of the robbery, an employee or, more likely, the proprietor is killed or iiijured. [Pg.309]

Employees or proprietors who have face-to-face contact and exchange money with the public, work late at night and into the early morning honrs, and work alone or in very small numbers are at greatest risk of a Type I event. While the assailant may feign to be a customer as a pretext to enter the establishment, he or she has no legitimate bnsiness relationship to the workplace. [Pg.309]


A Type II workplace violence event involves an assault by someone who is either the recipient or the object of a service provided by the affected workplace or the victim. Even though Type I events represent the most common type of fatality, type II events involving victims who provide services to the public are also increasing. Type II events accounted for approximately 30% of workplace homicides. Further, when more occupation-specific data about nonfatal workplace violence becomes available, nonfatal Type II events involving assaults to service providers, especially to health care providers, may represent the most prevalent category of workplace violence resulting in physical injury. Type II events involve fatal or nonfatal injuries to individuals who provide services to the public. These events involve assaults on public safety and correctional personnel, municipal bus or railway drivers, health care and social service providers, teachers, sales personnel, and other public or private service sector employees who provide professional, public safety, administrative, or business services to the public. [Pg.310]

Unlike Type I events, which often represent irregular occurrences in the life of any particular at-risk establishment. Type II events occur on a daily basis in many service establishments and, therefore, represent a more pervasive risk for many service providers. [Pg.311]

Rule-based errors are concerned with the misapplication or inappropriate use of problem solving rules. Individuals have a complex array of specific and general rules that they use to deal with everyday problems. Rules are of the type i/ then . Some simplistic examples relating to the operation of vehicles are ... [Pg.218]

The intracellular events triggered upon binding of type I or II interferons to their respective receptors are quite similar. The sequence of events, known as the JAK-STAT pathway, has been elucidated over the last few years. It has quickly become apparent that this pathway plays a prominent role in mediating signal transduction, not only for interferon, but also of many cytokines. [Pg.215]

Outflow at the base of the Type III pile includes components originating as snowmelt on the batters of the pile, and infiltration of rainfall on the batters and, potentially, the top surface of the pile. The Type I test pile has only received natural rainfall events, resulting in cumulative outflow approximately one order of magnitude lower than the Type III pile. The Type I pile is apparently still accumulating water, with only the batters yielding flow at the base (Neuner et al. 2009). [Pg.325]

There is evidence that the value of X for type I systems depends on the degree of supersaturation during the precipitation process with a somewhat better separation being reached at lower rates of precipitation, and hence, at lower degrees of supersaturation (29). This may mean that the events at the interface of solid phase and liguid phase are not completely described by Eguation (12), e.g. adsorption might also be involved. [Pg.539]

An alarm system is a type of electronic monitoring system that is used to detect and respond to specific types of events—such as unauthorized access to an asset, or a possible fire. In chemical processing systems, alarms are also used to alert operators when process operating or monitoring conditions go out of preset parameters (i.e., process alarms). These types of alarms are primarily integrated with process monitoring and reporting systems (i.e., SCADA systems). Note that this discussion does not focus on alarm systems that are not related to a facility s processes. [Pg.167]

Fadeel, B., Gleiss, B., Hogstrand, K., Chandra, J., Wiedmer, T., Sims, P., Henter, J.-I, Orrenius, S., and Samah, A., 1999, Phosphatidylserine exposure during apoptosis is a cell type-specific event and does not correlate with plasma membrane phospholipid scramblase expression, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 266 504-511. [Pg.92]

The term cooperativity will be used almost synonymously with correlation, except for restricting its usage to a particular type of event, namely, site i is occupied and site j is occupied. In Eq. (1.1.21), we defined the pair correlation between two such events. In Eq. (1.1.22), we defined the triplet correlation among three such events. [Pg.9]

When a human muscle, which comprises exclusively anaerobic (i.e. type II6) fibres is physically active, glycogen conversion to lactate generates all the ATP that is required to support the activity. Type I or Ila fibres use this process only when the demand for ATP exceeds that which can be generated from aerobic metabolism, e.g. during hypoxia. The significance of fhese processes for generation of ATP by muscle during various athletic events is discussed in Chapter 13. [Pg.104]
