This paper summarizes the state of science on occupational slips, trips and falls on the same level. The paper is divided by the subject areas in epidemiology, biomechanics, human-centered approaches, tribology and injury prevention and practices…

A probabilistic approach has been developed to extract recurrent serious Occupational Accidents with Movement Disturbance (OAMD) scenarios from narrative texts within a prevention framework. Relevant information in 143 texts was first…

Slips, collisions and other accidental movement disturbances are very common in work situations and occur in every occupational activity sector. Research into these accidents was conducted at a hospital, based on analysing collectively and…

Occupational slips, trips and falls on the same level (STFL) result in substantial injuries worldwide. This paper summarises the state of science regarding STFL, outlining relevant aspects of epidemiology, biomechanics, psychophysics, tribology…

Prevention of occupational accidents today no longer seems the overriding concern in the prevention of occupational risks. Yet they still cause each year about 700 000 lost-time accidents. The decrease in their number was notably accompanied…

The prevention of occupational accidents (OA) is one of the missions of the INRS (French National Research and Safety Institute). The importance of the challenge of preventing OSTFA is first emphasised by the statistical data of OAs occurring in…

Most occupational risks manifest themselves through movements performed at work, for example musculoskeletal disorders, slips, trips and falls. Research focusing on such risks often differentiates diseases from accidents. All these risks…

Occurrence of an accident with movement disturbance is rarely due to a single cause. Very often, it is the combination of several factors of different nature (a slippery floor and a suden urgency for example) which explain it. A local and participatory…

The literature overlooks many occupational accidents including cases, in which the victim jams a hand in a door or window, collides with an element of the environment or finds himself/herself off-balance because a wrench slips when tightening…
