Preventing Occupational Fatalities:
A Review of Findings from a Recent Industry Forum
By Tracey L. Cekada, Christopher A. Janicak and Lon H. FergusonThe Fatality Prevention Forum was held in early November 2007. Hosted by the Safety Sciences Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in cooperation with the Alcoa Foundation, the forum examined key aspects of the complex relationships between the work environment, workforce and leadership, and how these elationships affect the safety and health management system as they relate to hazards with the potential for fatal consequences. The goal was to identify contributing causes and organizational weaknesses that increase the likelihood for
occupational fatalities. Based on these aspects, solutions and best practices for preventing fatalities were identified as were areas of future research.
