“…This coincides with the results from a study on work-related fatal injuries in parking lots that demonstrated that 22% of women killed in parking lots at work, were killed by an intimate partner (30). These results point to simple prevention measures that employers could support to protect victims of IPV.…”

“…These results point to simple prevention measures that employers could support to protect victims of IPV. For example, maintenance of adequate lighting in the parking lot, perimeter control, line of sight, separation of employee parking from the general public, and hiring security guards are recommended (30). Our findings may also reflect specific work disruption techniques reported in the literature (31).…”

PURPOSE-Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important public health issue with serious consequences for the workplace. Workplace homicides occurring to U.S. women over a 6-year period, including those perpetrated by an intimate partner, are described.METHODS-Workplace homicides among U.S. women from 2003 to 2008 were categorized into type I (criminal intent), type II (customer/client), type III (co-worker), or type IV (personal relations) events using the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. Fatality rates were calculated and compared among workplace violence (WPV) types, occupations, and characteristics including location of homicide, type of workplace, time of day, and weapon used. RESULTS-Between 2003 and 2008, 648 women were feloniously killed on the job. The leading cause of workplace homicide for U.S. women was criminal intent, such as robbing a store (n = 212; 39%), followed by homicides perpetrated by a personal relation (n= 181; 33%). The majority of these personal relations were intimate partners (n = 142; 78%). Over half of workplace homicides perpetrated by intimate partners occurred in parking lots and public buildings (n = 91; 51%).CONCLUSIONS-A large percentage of homicides occurring to women at work are perpetrated by intimate partners. WPV prevention programs should incorporate strategies to prevent and respond to IPV.

“…In spite of hazardous conditions of parking lot managing activities, there were few studies that focused on the parking lot industry (Fayard, ; Gray, ; Korean Transportation Safety Authority, 2011; Long & Young, ). In parking lots, there are accident risks such as being hit by a vehicle, malfunctioning machines and defects, slipping on the floor and falling, and violence (Park et al., ).…”

“…In parking lots, there are accident risks such as being hit by a vehicle, malfunctioning machines and defects, slipping on the floor and falling, and violence (Park et al., ). Among fatal accidents caused in parking lots in United States from 1993 to 2002, 47% were due to killing by others such as robbery and suicide, 19% were vehicle‐related accidents, 15% were from contact with an object or being hit by falling objects, and 9% were from falling or tripping (Fayard, ).…”

This study is concerned with the characteristics of occupational injuries and sick leaves for the workers doing parking lot management. Possible incidents and sick leaves have been identified and analyzed for 470 occupational accidents in the parking lot management process. Management level of accidents for prioritizing prevention measures is induced for the combination of the accident types and parking lot management processes. Accidents occurring during the specific parking lot management process showed different characteristics, depending on the type of accident and agency of accident. Most critical accidents that required corrective actions for prevention were being struck by an object in the “guide” process and slipping in the “valet parking” process. And, possible incidents predicted also as high level of management were slips in the “fee collection” and “cleaning” processes and falls to lower level in the “operating lift” and “repair” processes. Also, traffic accidents in the “guide” process, overexertion and bodily reaction and posture in the “patrol” process were ranked ‘high. The findings of this study can be used to develop more effective accident prevention policies to reduce occupational accidents in parking lot management.
