Analysis of occupational accidents for safety design.

BACKGROUND: Safety design covers proactive actions as it analyzes accident risks early in the enterprise life cycle, and considers the designer acting on accident prevention as a member of the construction team. OBJECTIVE: This paper proposes an accident investigation to establish links between accident causes and design to support Prevention through Design (PtD) tools. METHODS: This article analyzed more than a thousand severe and fatal accident cases in the construction sector. A systematic analysis method was structured based on descriptions of accident causes and measures that could be taken to avoid accidents. RESULTS: Analyzing the severe and fatal accidents, the safety measures implemented in the project design could avoid at least 23.6% of the events. As a result, the architectural and structural designs were more effective in accident prevention. The reference percentages and the design types that are more effective in preventing accidents are analyzed through a representative sample of the analysis of the accident. CONCLUSIONS: This research contributes to applying safety guidelines in design projects, directly assisting in project and construction management.

Digital tools for prevention through design application: A systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Prevention through Design (PtD) is a safety initiative that increases the ability of eliminating risks before construction. Implementing digital tools for PtD is an innovative way to help identify embedded risk in design phase by automating a process that is currently time consuming and extensively dependent on designers' experience. However, there is a lack of known digital safety tools available to professionals. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to systematically review published research on the development of digital tools for PtD in order to point out existing processes and limitations. METHODS: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) guidelines were used to search publications in Scopus database. Initially, 148 publications were found, but after applying the filters, thirteen publications were read and included in this review. RESULTS: Quantitative results showed few publications and quantitative results detailed the studied digital tools workings and what limitations prevent their full implementation by designers. CONCLUSION: Although 53.84% of methods are automatic, existing barriers such as the inability to consider schedule, and to provide a complete database challenge the validity of these tools. Therefore, PtD still poses a research gap for future research on safety matters.

ETAPA 1. Sistema de alerta temprana: identificación del riesgo en salud pública / Early warning system: identification of public health risk

Este manual de "Identificación del riesgo en salud pública" da continuidad al documento "Abecé de la gestión del riesgo colectivo de brotes, epidemias y eventos de interés en salud pública". La intención de este módulo es facilitar a las entidades territoriales la adopción y adaptación de los procesos para la identificación del riesgo.

Detección de problemas alimentarios y su relación con hábitos alimentarios en adolescentes / Detection of eating problems and their relationship with eating habits in adolescents

Resumen El propósito de este trabajo fue hacer la detección de probables casos de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) en adolescentes, así como analizar su relación con los hábitos alimentarios (HA) dentro del contexto escolar. Participaron 3,144 alumnos/as (49.7% chicas y 50.3% chicos), con edades entre 13 y 17 años (M = 14.41, DE = 0.79). Fueron registradas distintas variables: sociodemográficas, índice de masa corporal (IMC) e ingesta alimentaria, además de aplicar el Cuestionario de Actitudes Alimentarias (EAT-40) y el Cuestionario de Imagen Corporal (BSQ). Se identificaron diferencias significativas en EAT-40 y BSQ, con una mayor proporción de chicas vs. chicos que superaron el punto de corte. Respecto al IMC, aunque la mayoría estaba en normopeso, el 17.6% tuvo infrapeso, 20.4% sobrepeso y 7.1% obesidad. El 5.6% de todos los participantes fueron identificados como probables casos de TCA, con una mayor proporción de mujeres (9.6%) que de hombres (1.8%). No hubo correlación con los HA, pero sí mayor proporción de chicas que consumían menos alimentos y bebidas durante el desayuno y el recreo. Un dato alarmante es que 5.6% de las chicas y 2.5% de los chicos no consumían nada durante toda la mañana escolar.

Abstract A study of detection of probable cases of eating disorders (ED) in teenagers, studying their possible relationship with their dietary habits (DH) in the school context has been carried out. The participants were 3,144 students (49.7 % girls and 50.3 % boys) aged between 13 and 17 years old (M = 14.41, SD = 0.79). Different variables were recorded: sociodemographic, body mass index (BMI) and dietary intake, in addition to applying the Eating Attitudes Questionnaire (EAT-40) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Significant differences were identified in EAT-40 and BSQ, with a greater proportion of girls vs. boys exceeding the cut-off point. Regarding the BMI, although most were in normal weight, the 17.6% were underweight, 20.4% overweight and 7.1% obese. Based on all the data, 5.6% of all participants were identified as probable cases of ED, with a higher proportion of women (9.6%) that men (1.8%). There was no correlation with DH, but there were a higher proportion of girls who consumed less food and beverages during breakfast and recess. An alarming fact is that 5.6% of girls and 2.5% of boys did not consume anything during the whole school time.

Development of an enterprise risk inventory for healthcare.

BACKGROUND: The first phase of an enterprise risk management (ERM) program is the identification of risks. Accurate identification is essential to a proactive and effective ERM function. The authors identified a lack of such risk identification in the literature and in practical cases when interviewing the chief risk officers from healthcare organizations. A risk inventory specific to healthcare organizations that includes detailed risk scenarios and risk impacts currently does not exist. Thus, the objective of this research is to develop an enterprise risk inventory for healthcare organizations to create a common understanding of how each type of risk impacts a healthcare organization. METHOD: ERM guidelines and data from 15 interviews with chief risk officers were analyzed to create the risk inventory. The identified risks were confirmed through a survey of risk managers from a range of global healthcare organizations during the ASHRM conference in 2017. Descriptive statistics were developed and cluster analysis was performed using the survey results. RESULTS: The risk inventory includes 28 risks and their specific risk scenarios. Cyberattack was ranked as the principal risk by the participants, followed by sentinel events and risks associated with human capital management (organizational culture, use of electronic medical records and physician wellness). The data analysis showed that the specific characteristics of the survey participants, such as the length of time working in risk management, the size of the organization, and the presence of a school of medicine, do not impact an individual's opinion of the importance of the risks identified. A personal background in risk management (clinical or enterprise) was a characteristic that showed a small difference in the perceived importance of the risks from the proposed risk inventory. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to defining specific risk scenarios, the enterprise risk inventory presented in this research can contribute to guiding the risk identification phase of an ERM program and thereby support the development of a risk culture. Patient data security in hospitals that operate with high levels of technology is fundamental to delivering high quality and safe care to patients. At the top of the risk ranking, the identification of cyberattacks reflects the importance that healthcare risk managers place on this risk by allocating time and other resources. Exploring opportunities to improve cyber risk management and evaluating the benefits of using the risk inventory at the beginning of the risk identification phase in an ERM program are suggestions for future studies.
