    Nontraffic Crash Injuries and Fatalitiescoding and Editing Manual

    DOT HS 811 802 April 2014 Not In Traffic Surveillance (NITS) Nontraffic Crash Injuries and Fatalities 2008 Coding and Editing Manual INTRODUCTION Since 1975 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has collected extensive information on fatalities that occur in traffic crashes through the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Additionally, NHTSA’s National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) has provided national estimates of the number and nature of traffic crash injuries since 1979. This manual and the associated database document fatalities and injuries in nontraffic crashes that occur on nonpublic roads, residential and commercial driveways, and parking facilities. This nontraffic crash database was designed to use NHTSA’s existing crash data collection infrastructures. To collect information about injuries in nontraffic crashes, NHTSA requested that beginning in 2007 the NASS researchers, who visit police jurisdictions that provide crash reports to the National Automotive Sampling System – General Estimates System (NASS-GES) sample, send all injury cases that did not qualify for NASS-GES because they were off the trafficway (nontraffic) to a NHTSA contractor to be entered into NiTS. To collect information on nontraffic crash fatalities, NHTSA requested that beginning in 2007 the FARS analysts, who collect and enter fatal traffic crash information into FARS for each State, send all cases that did not qualify for FARS to the same NHTSA contractor. Similar to the nontraffic injuries, the crash fatalities that did not qualify for FARS because they were off the trafficway were then entered into NiTS. NHTSA also supplemented the nontraffic crash fatality reports in NiTS with reports of nontraffic crash fatalities submitted by the NASS researchers.

Chapelle Curator of Transportation SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON, D.C. 1964 — Publications of the United States National Aiuseum The scholarly and scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series the Museum publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of its constituent museums—The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Technology setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of Anthropology, Biology, History, Geology, and Technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries, to cultural and scientific organizations, and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers from the Museum of Natural History. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902 papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum of Natural History have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions Jrom the United States National Herbarium, and since 1959, in Bulletins titled "Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology," have been gathered shorter papers relating to the collections and research of that Museum.

SIMMONS, logging specialist NORTHEASTERN FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION FOREST SERVICE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE - - - WASHINGTON, D. C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.
