Compendium: SIFs, Major Hazards, Fatal & Traumatic hazards, risks
This is an expansion to my prior compendium on Critical Controls, Barriers and Energy thinking. Suggest you read that in conjunction to this, link here:
Barriers, Critical Controls, Verifications, Energy Models
If you’re after indicators check this mini-compendium out:
Safety & Risk Performance indicators (lead, lag, drive, process safety + more)
This compendium focuses on articles discussing SIFs, fatal & traumatic hazards, risks and similar concepts. Focus is on acute traumatic injury – occupational health/chronic exposures will be covered in the future.
I’ve focused on full-text articles – so there’s heaps of relevant articles not included here because I couldn’t source a link. Abstracts are towards the end.
I’ve largely omitted major hazards and process safety, as there’s too much ground to cover in a single article. I’ve also not included much traffic/transport, aviation and some other select industries.
NB. A special call-out to NIOSH – who has been supporting research on fatal and traumatic workplace injuries for decades. You’ll find several studies supported by them here.
Feel free to shout a coffee if you’d like to support the growth of my site:
