Accidents: Risk Factors, Health Outcomes and Safety Measures, 1ed

This edited volume emerges from the interest in enriching the body of knowledge about characteristics, examining health outcomes and proposing measures to overcome societal and economic consequences of accidents. Contributions from different disciplines (e.g., economics, engineering, medicine, and statistics) have allowed composing a collection that provides answers to prominent questions from various perspectives.

The first perspective concerns accidents occurring on the road and involving vulnerable users (i.e., pedestrians, elderly, public transport passengers, and motorcyclists). Road accidents are among the 10 leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in 1.21 million annual deaths. The second perspective regards accidents occurring at workplaces with a particular interest in healthcare institutions. The number of occupational accidents is a cause of major concern, as roughly 2.64 million annual occupational accidents occur globally, of which roughly 350,000 are fatal. The third perspective involves proposing measures for the improvement of safety and the reduction of consequences. The chapters of this book are organized according to these three perspectives.
