“…The OSHA IMIS database has been successfully used in other studies of occupational accidents. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Only a fraction of all injuries and fatalities in the United States are captured in the OSHA injury database as compared with the BLS CFOI, which is considered a more accurate and verifiable database for occupational fatalities notwithstanding the overall consensus that underreporting affects both the CFOI and the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses databases. [20][21][22] Moreover, OSHA only requires documentation of catastrophic accidents involving fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, or loss of an eye.…”

“…The analysis of OSHA-recorded OHPL fatalities from 2000 to 2011 found that electrical power installers and repairers and supervisors of electricians and power transmission installers were injured by contact with an energized conductor in 77% of the fatal OHPL cases, which is more than all other occupations combined 13 …”

The aim of this study was to examine contributing factors to fatalities in electrical occupations due to contact with electricity. Methods: Proportionate mortality ratios were calculated along with the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test of significance using Occupational Safety and Health Administration data. Cross-tabulation analyses were examined by the Pearson chi-square test of independence. Results: Electricians and electrical power installers/repairers experienced significantly higher proportions of fatalities due to contact with electric current of machine, tool, or light fixture and contact with overhead power lines, respectively. Factors such as accident date, location, union status, project type, cost, electrical event, human factor, part of body, source of injury, and fatality cause, exhibited significant associations with electrical trade fatalities. Conclusions: Fatalities in electrical occupations are attributable to increased exposures to electrical hazards during regular work activities. Strict adherence to safe work practices and procedures is critical to electrical fatality prevention.

“…In June 2012, during oil and gas extraction and refining operation more than 23 critical injuries have been reported due to explosion at Kerteh in Malaysia (Wiseman, 2009). Similarly, In October 2014 during Malaysia's Sapura Kencana offshore rig operation, a technician and a mechanic, were inspecting a safety boat on the rig before the boat suddenly fell into the sea due to lack of safety measures, both workers died from head injuries reported by Malaysian news agency (Brenner, Brett & James, 2015). According to the online statistical information provided by department of safety and health, 68 fatalities and 74 permanent disabilities have been reported in year 2016 at manufacturing and petroleum industries in Malaysia (Medina & Krasuk, 2015).…”

This article discusses the conceptual action plan and detailed methodology for the identification of potential hazard controls and the development of work integrated E-vestibule training module for safe onshore and offshore oil and gas drilling operation at Malaysian industries. According to the previous studies, there is a sheer industrial need of an effective work integrated vestibule training module for accident prevention at oil and gas drilling sites at Malaysian drilling domains. In this proposed study, 80 drilling crew will be randomly selected for quantitative research phase. Similarly, 03 safety experts will be purposively selected for qualitative research from each drilling domain. Whereas, for the identification of hazard controlling measures What-If analysis and thematic analysis approaches will be adopted. Furthermore, the open source vestibule training module will be developed by using ADDIE based on identified hazard controlling measures. However, the visual studio and MySQL software will use to develop the E-Module for drilling crew safety training. The proposed E-vestibule training module development framework will be used as an effective source for the elimination of life-threatening drilling hazards associated with its activities at oil and gas industries. Similarly, the proposed framework can also be implemented on other work-based learning training designs. Moreover, this proposed safety and health vestibule training module will be the first E- drilling safety module which covers all onshore and offshore drilling operation in Malaysian oil and gas extraction settings.
