Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Uncertainty assessment in the quantification of risk rates of occupational accidents

Notas: Sumario: Occupational risk rates per hour of exposure have been quantified for 63 occupational accident types for the Dutch working population. Data were obtained from the analysis of more than 9,000 accidents that occurred over a period of six years in the Netherlands and resulted in three types of reportable consequences under Dutch law: (a) fatal injury, (b) permanent injury, and (c) serious recoverable injury requiring at least one day of hospitalization. A Bayesian uncertainty assessment on the value of the risk rates has been performed. Annual risks for each of the 63 occupational accident types have been calculated, including the variability in the annual exposure of the working population to the corresponding hazards. The suitability of three risk measuresindividual risk rates, individual annual risk, and number of accidentsis examined and discussed.Registros relacionados: En: Risk analysis : an international journal. - McLean, Virginia : Society for Risk Analysis, 1987-2015 = ISSN 0272-4332. - 03/08/2015 Volumen 35 Número 8 - agosto 2015 , p. 1536-1561Materia / lugar / evento: Accidentes de trabajo Tasa del riesgo Riesgo laboral Teorema de Bayes Factores de riesgo Seguridad e higiene en el trabajo Cuantificación del riesgo Otros autores: Papazoglou, Ioannis A.
