Statistical method for analyzing the causes of industrial injuries serves today, perhaps, as the main method for developing a policy of action and outlining specific measures to prevent this sad and undesirable phenomenon.

The analysis is subjected to a predetermined limited number of certain indicators of an accident. For analysis, an array of data is collected for all studied indicators.

With the help of statistical analysis, it is possible to detect patterns inherent in these indicators, to study the features of the occurrence of accidents in certain professions, in certain production areas, and in certain categories of workers. The strength of the statistical method for analyzing the causes of industrial injuries is the ability to predict.

Injuries are considered as a function of various variables. Identifying the most significant of these variables and the nature of their impact on injuries is the main goal of this approach. When using this method of analysis, the randomness of an individual event recedes into the background, making way for regularity. To paraphrase a well-known Russian proverb, we can say that the statistical method allows you to see a forest instead of a lot of trees! With its help, it is impossible to develop any specific recommendations for the prevention of individual accidents - it is aimed at determining common ways to combat certain types of injuries.

Statistical analysis is difficult to prevent a specific accident, but relatively easy - a whole class of them. This is his strength.

The use of the statistical method involves the selection from all available information of relatively homogeneous "groups" data on individual features: time of injury, place of injury, gender and age, qualifications and specialty of the victims, type of work performed in case of injury, type of cause of the accident, etc. The results of the analysis for these and other most significant signs of injury allow us to develop appropriate preventive measures.

Note that good results are obtained by combining the statistical method of analysis with the method of economic analysis of losses caused by accidents. This allows (especially for the owner) to evaluate the socio-economic efficiency of measures taken by the employer to prevent industrial injuries.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

The American firm "Gamma Watch" has started the production of dosimeter watches. A wristwatch weighing 170 grams (with a steel bracelet) shows the time with hands and a digital display and simultaneously measures the intensity and total accumulated dose of radiation.

These indicators are also displayed on the dial. The owner of the watch can set a certain threshold, after which an audible alarm will sound.
