“…This is consistent with other reports, such as that described by Cohen et al (2006), which indicates that 33% of work-related deaths were in vehicle incidents. In our study, seat belts were worn by only 38% of those for whom seat belt use was documented.…”

“…Accident statistics Beavers et al (2006) The study examined 1997-2003 Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) fatality investigations to determine proximal causes and contributing physical factors. Cohen et al (2006) Work-related fatalities between the years 1998 and 2002 are described by victim demographics, types of incidents, victim occupations, and industries and locations in which they worked. Risk planning Lee and Halpin (2003) Construction accidents are associated with poor planning of operational tasks, insufficiently established practices for dealing with accidents, and a lack of safety training and safety recognition.…”

Using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), this study develops a model to evaluate construction managers' perception of safety as relates to six aspects: human error (HE), safety resource and application (SRA), safety equipment and training (SET), site culture and external factors (SCF), safety inspection and audit (SIA), and accident medium and activities (AMA). The model was used to identify and compare the level of safety perceived by Taiwanese construction managers including safety managers, contractor managers, public works managers, design and audit managers, owner audit and control managers, and others. Analysis reveals that safety managers have the highest perception of safety while owner audit and control managers have the lowest. Surprisingly, public works managers and design and audit managers have lower levels of perceived safety than do contractor managers. Apparently, reinforcing the perception of safety between these two types of construction personnel is important to reducing construction accidents in Taiwan.

“…The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists [2004] produced a how‐to booklet for state analysts to compute incident rates using CPS micro data for denominators. In one among many examples, a Washington state study extrapolated Census data using CPS to obtain current‐year denominators for fatality rates [Cohen et al, 2006]. Nevertheless, the small CPS sample size in Oregon (1,130 households) is clearly inadequate for making accurate estimates of stratified worker populations in the state.…”
