The Economy and Workplace Safety: Evidence from the Macro-Level
Despite industry efforts to improve workplace safety, every year within the United States there remain over three million occupational injuries that occur on the job. To better understand these costly safety outcomes, I utilized a novel stressor, economic stress (Catalano & Dooley, 1983), to …

Implementing CAST and Designing the STAMP-Enhanced Learning And Reporting System
The safety performance of healthcare is concerning. Around 6% of patients are impacted by preventable harm. Adverse events recur because incident reporting systems (IRSs) are not effective and causes are not addressed. In-depth incident analyses, in particular, often focus on frontline human error …
