Are crash causation studies the best way to understand system failures - Who can we blame?
Accid Anal Prev. 2023 Dec 31;196:107432. doi: 10.1016/j.aap.2023.107432. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe search for common and serious single causes of road crashes naturally leads to a concentration on the road user. This is supported by a legal framework in the search for the main cause and the suspect for this cause. In prevention, we havefor decades been more inclined to look for systematic improvements of all elements of the road transport system, and we direct the recommendations for actions towards system designers, organizations, products and services. In this paper the discussion about causation and prevention i...

The purpose of this descriptive study was to evaluate the ergonomic risk factors for employees (N=222) from three shopping centres in the city of Erzurum, Turkey.

Salivary cortisone as potential predictor of occupational exposure to noise and related stress
Arh Hig Rada Toksikol. 2023 Dec 29;74(4):232-237. doi: 10.2478/aiht-2023-74-3785. eCollection 2023 Dec 1.ABSTRACTSalivary cortisone strongly correlates with serum cortisol, and since it is less invasive to measure salivary cortisone than serum cortisol and easier than to measure cortisol in saliva, as its concentrations are much lower, we wanted to compare salivary cortisone and cortisol levels as markers of noise-induced stress reaction. The study included 104 participants aged 19-30 years, 50 of whom were exposed to occupational noise ≥85 dB(A) and 54 non-exposed, control students. All participants took samples of thei...
