van Kampen, J. (author), Lammers, M. (author), Steijn, W. (author), Guldenmund, F. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author)In the Netherlands, approximately 2.300 workers have a serious reportable accident at work every year, of which around 60 are fatal (Inspectie SZW, 2020; Bellamy et al., 2014). Safety practitioners employ many methods to improve occupational safety for workers within their companies. Interventions might, for example, be aimed at improving...article 2023

Groen, E.L. (author), Clark, T.K. (author), Houben, M.M.J. (author), Bos, J.E. (author), Mumaw, R. (author)Background: It is difficult for accident investigators to objectively determine whether spatial disorientation may have contributed to a fatal airplane accident. In this paper, we evaluate three methods to reconstruct the possible occurrence of the somatogravic illusion based on flight data recordings from an airplane accident. (2) Methods: The...article 2022

Bergstra, A.D. (author), Trijssenaar-Buhre, I.J.M. (author), de Bekker-Grob, E.W. (author), Burdorf, A. (author)The release of hazardous materials due to transport accidents can have major health consequences for bystanders. The number of casualties will partly be determined by their protective behaviour. This study describes a three-step approach to predict health consequences of protective behaviour (for example, hiding or escaping) of bystanders in the...article 2022

Bouma, R.H.B. (author), Griffiths, T.T. (author), Tuukkanen, I.M. (author)To ensure safety and reliability, it is important that the explosives and other materials used in munitions do not interact adversely either physically or chemically. Data obtained by heat flow calorimetry on nitrocellulose-based propellants have been reviewed with the aim of identifying improved chemical compatibility assessment criteria. It...article 2019

Saberi, A.K. (author), Vissers, J. (author), Benders, F.P.A. (author)Initiatives such as smart mobility and automated driving bring new concerns such as safety and security for the automotive industry. New architecture and designs are required for the in-vehicle systems to address these emerging concerns. Early design decisions have a large impact on the required functionalities as well as the quality attributes...conference paper 2019

Sahebi, S. (author), Nassiri, H. (author), van Wee, B. (author), Araghi, Y. (author)Human error including driving misbehavior contributes to over 90 percent of road vehicle accidents, and speeding is considered to be risky. Smart technologies, such as Connected Vehicle System (CVS) are among the interesting technical options to improve driving behavior, and Pay-As-You-Speed (PAYS) is an effective economic incentive to reduce...article 2019

Swuste, P. (author), Zwaard, W. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author), Guldenmund, F.

Roughly in the same period occupational medicine becomes a separate domain. Only just after World War II are safety professionals organised in associations. Starting...article 2019

(author)Nanotechnologies are characterized by a growing legacy of already marketed and novel manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) and nano-enabled products with a lack of a coherent risk governance system to address their safety effectively. In response to this situation, a proactive system is needed to minimize the gap between the pace of innovation and...article 2019

(author)We are writing in regards to the review by Koranyi et al (1) on precarious employment and occupational accidents and injuries. In the review, multiple-job holding was classified as a type of precarious employment. In this letter, we argue multiple-job holding should not be considered a type of precarious employment and that multiple-job holders...article 2019

(author)The older cyclist is more prone to get cycling accidents than younger cyclists. To support the older cyclist, a rear- and front-view assistant were developed that warns the cyclist of approaching traffic. User tests to evaluate system performance, user-experience and effects on behaviour were performed with 20 older cyclists (>64 years) on a...article 2018

Existing methods are based primarily on the effects of blast overpressure on surrounding structures. Window breakage and structural damage are well studied and are widely used to derive most probable explosion strengths. Other explosive...article 2018
