In the global context, about 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. Moreover, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among young people, aged 15–29 years. Furthermore, 90% of the world's road fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries (WHO, 2017). In Sri Lanka, the accident rate is increasing rapidly. According to the transport and civil aviation report, 2801 deaths, 2590 fatal accidents, 13,095 minor accidents, and 7719 critical accidents occurred in Sri Lanka in 2015. The trend of the accidents has been increasing due to many factors. Physical features of the roads and roadsides, behaviour of drivers and pedestrians are the main influence on the occurrence of accidents. Central province has many accidents-prone areas due to its spatial and temporal patterns. Landform and climatic factors such as fog, snow and rainfall trigger accident potentials. Therefore, this study, “Spatial and temporal patterns of road accidents and their challenges: a study on Nuwara-Eliya District” investigates reasons for the enhanced rate of traffic mishaps. This is the first such study of this phenomenon. Herein, we used primary and secondary data. The results indicate that physical features are mainly to blame.

W artykule przedstawiono analizę ryzyka wypadków przy pracy na przykładzie porównania branży górnictwa i Polski, która opiera się na danych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego (GUS) pt. „Wypadki przy pracy". Głównym celem badań była analiza przyczyn wypadków przy pracy, rozumianych według definicji GUS-u (ludzkie, organizacyjne, techniczne, inne), a niejako wydarzenia powodujące uraz - wydarzenia niebezpieczne w górnictwie (naturalne, techniczne, osobowe, inne). Artykuł obejmuje wyniki badań przyczyn wypadków przy pracy w górnictwie i Polsce, z wykorzystaniem analizy porównawczej wypadków ogółem, wypadków śmiertelnych i wypadków ciężkich.

The article presents an analysis of the risk of accidents at work on the example of comparison of mining industry and Poland, which is based on data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS), titled ,,Accidents at Work". The main objective of the research was to analyze the causes of accidents at work, understood as defined by the Central Statistical Office (human, organizational, technical, other), and not as events resulting in an injury - dangerous events in the mining industry (natural, technical, personnel, other). The article includes the results of the causes of accidents at work in the mining industry and in Poland, using comparative analysis of accidents in total, fatalities and serious accidents.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the trend of occupational injuries in Turkey using epidemiologic criteria such as incidence mortality and fatality/all injuries recorded – rates. Materials and methods. Safety and health data were obtained from the Annual Statistic Books of the Social Insurance Institution (1988–2006) and Social Security Institution (2007–2011) of Turkey. Results. The results from the official data showed that although total employment is increasing the number of occupational injuries and incidence and mortality rates are decreasing. The results also demonstrate that occupational fatality/all injuries recorded – rate is increasing. The fatality/all injuries recorded – rate per 1000 injuries increased to 25.5 in 2011 from 8.6 in 1988. Each work day an average of five people died because of occupational injuries. Discussion and conclusions. The fatality/all injuries recorded – rate (the number of fatal cases per 1000 occupational injuries) is an important indicator of the injury rate for a country. Systems of occupational injury and illness surveillance constitute a critical resource for the management and reduction of occupational injuries and illness.

Torrential floods are the most destructive and most frequent natural disasters in Serbia with severe social, economic, cultural, and environmental consequences that deserve special attention. This paper presents a datacollection strategy and data analysis in terms of spatial and temporal characterization of the torrential flood phenomenon in Serbia for the last 99 years. Based on the available information obtained from various reliable sources, we registered 848 torrential flood events for 1915-2013. The registered number of deaths from torrential floods is over 133, including 24 people from 1991 to 2010. Monthly distribution of registered torrential floods indicates that the majority of floods occurred in Serbian territory in late spring (from May to the end of June) and the greatest number of torrential floods is registered in Southern Morava basin. This work resulted in creating a first inventory of torrential floods in Serbia and its analysis for the purpose of the spatial and temporal distribution and characterization of this phenomenon. The inventory on torrential floods will be integrated in future in a unique multi-user database on natural hazards in Serbia, and it should become a part of the European database of natural hazards.
