Journal ArticleDOI
The link between fatigue and safety
Ann Williamson,David A. Lombardi,Simon Folkard,Simon Folkard,Jane C. Stutts,Theodore K. Courtney,Jennie Connor +6 more
TL;DR: The evidence did not support a direct link between circadian-related fatigue influences and performance or safety outcomes and further research is needed to clarify the link.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupational slip, trip, and fall-related injuries--can the contribution of slipperiness be isolated?
Theodore K. Courtney,Gary S. Sorock,Derek P. Manning,James W. Collins,Mary Ann Holbein-Jenny +4 more
TL;DR: The resolution of large-scale injury registries should be improved by collecting more detailed incident sequence information to better define the full scope and contribution of slipperiness to occupational STF-related injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Falls and fall-related injuries among community-dwelling adults in the United States
Santosh Kumar Verma,Joanna L. Willetts,Helen L. Corns,Helen R. Marucci-Wellman,David A. Lombardi,Theodore K. Courtney +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that adult fall prevention efforts should consider the entire adult lifespan to ensure a greater public health benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of friction in the measurement of slipperiness, Part 2: survey of friction measurement devices.
Wen-Ruey Chang,Raoul Grönqvist,Sylvie Leclercq,Robert J. Brungraber,Ulrich Mattke,Lennart Strandberg,Steve C. Thorpe,Rohae Myung,Lasse Makkonen,Theodore K. Courtney +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of commonly used devices for slipperiness measurement is presented and their characteristics compared with suggested test conditions from biomechanical observations summarized in Part 1, where the issues of device validity, repeatability, reproducibility and usability are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injuries at work in the US adult population: contributions to the total injury burden.
Gordon S. Smith,H. M. Wellman,Gary S. Sorock,Margaret Warner,Theodore K. Courtney,Glenn Pransky,Lois A. Fingerhut +6 more
TL;DR: Injuries at work comprise a substantial part of the injury burden, accounting for nearly half of all injuries in some age groups, and the prominence of occupational injuries among injuries to working-age adults reinforces the need to examine workplace conditions in efforts to reduce the societal impact of injuries.
