Título Accident reporting - An exercise in futility?
Información bibliográfica Aug. 1978, Vol.118, No.2, p.80-82. 5 ref.
Resumen Present accident reporting systems do not adequately inform safety engineers, standards writers, and other safety professionals so that accidents can be reduced. Items recommended include identification of the hazard; description of the agency causing the accident; list of principal uses of the agency; and description of the accident area. The emphasis on information for insurance purposes is considered ineffective for reducing accidents. Court decisions in the U.S. are noted as giving priority to safety by design.
