Factors Contributing to Non-Occupational Falls from Ladders in Men 50 Years and Over 0 Factors contributing to non-occupational falls from ladders in men 50 years and over. Katherine Myra Schaffarczyk A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health (Research) School of Public Health and Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine October 2017 1 2 3 Acknowledgements I wish to acknowledge the following people for their support during my candidature. To Associate Professor Roslyn Poulos, Dr Sally Nathan and Dr Brahmaputra Marjadi; what a privilege it has been to have you as my academic supervisors. Your patience, perseverance, dedication and teaching have been extraordinary. There were many times when I doubted I would finish the journey but your belief in me and ‘my ladders’ helped me to avoid the potholes, keep me on track and moving forward. I will be forever grateful to you for such a remarkable experience. To the Director of Trauma; thank you for your support of this research right from the start. Your ongoing encouragement and reassurance have been appreciated. It was a pleasure to learn from someone who is committed to clinical research in trauma care. To the Trauma Data Manager; for your valuable assistance in retrieving the data required from the hospital trauma registry. Your expertise and time spent was greatly appreciated. To the Statistician; for your guidance on the statistical analysis of this research. To my many nursing colleagues; thank you for lending me your ear when I needed to a moment to ‘rant and rave’. Thank you also to my managers for their support with study leave to undertake this research and to my administrative colleagues for their support. To my husband and my children; thank you for your tolerance, patience and understanding. And, to the most important people of all: the men and their spouses who agreed to be interviewed for this research. It was your honesty and openness in sharing your story and your passion to make a positive change to ladder safety that enabled this research to achieve its objective. 4 Preface Looking at George (pseudonym), I struggle to understand how falling one metre from a ladder can cause such severe injury. As an experienced trauma nurse clinician and educator, I have nursed many patients who have sustained traumatic injury. But it is the fact that this mechanism of injury is potentially preventable, that makes my understanding of George’s case more difficult to process. Aged in his 70’s, George has sustained injuries to his head, spine, chest, abdomen and extremities. Complications have included pneumonia, sepsis, deep venous thrombosis, a skin pressure injury and anaemia. He has required surgery to his spine and fractured extremity and the formation of a tracheostomy to help him breathe. I reflect on the clinical scenario in front of me. How and why did this happen? How can such a potentially preventable incident occur? What is my role as a trauma nurse in the prevention of ladder falls? George spent almost three months in hospital, more than one week of which was in the Intensive Care Unit. He went on to a specialised rehabilitation unit. He required further surgery to his abdomen. On discharge home with his wife, George was mobilising with the assistance of a walker. He was surrounded by support from his wife, family and rehabilitation staff and was positive about his future. And so my research journey began, with George’s story being my primary catalyst. This is the story of many men just like George. 5 Contents Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................... 3 Preface........................................................................................................................................ 4 List of tables ............................................................................................................................. 10 List of figures ........................................................................................................................... 11 List of abbreviations ................................................................................................................ 12 Chapter 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................. 13 1.1 Rationale ........................................................................................................................ 13 1.2 Research questions ......................................................................................................... 15 1.3 Context and setting of this research ............................................................................... 15 1.4 Methodological approach used in this research ............................................................. 16 1.4.1 Use of mixed methods in public health research .................................................... 16 1.5 Ethical considerations .................................................................................................... 19 1.6 Thesis structure .............................................................................................................. 20 Chapter 2 Non-occupational ladder falls in older people — a review of the literature ........... 23 2.1 Ladder fall definitions .................................................................................................... 23 2.2 Epidemiology of ladder falls – a global problem........................................................... 24 2.3 Incidence of falls from ladders in Australia ................................................................... 25 2.4 Trends in ladder falls ..................................................................................................... 27 2.5 Mechanism, causes and height of ladder falls ............................................................... 28 2.6 Outcomes from falls and injury types ............................................................................ 30 6 2.6.1 Non-fatal outcomes ................................................................................................. 30 2.6.2 Burden of injury in Australia .................................................................................. 31 2.6.3 Fatal outcomes from ladder falls in Australia ......................................................... 32 2.7 Normal physiological changes with aging and the implications for ladder use ............ 34 2.7.1 Visual changes ........................................................................................................ 34 2.7.2 Musculoskeletal changes, posture and balance ....................................................... 34 2.7.3 Neurological and reflex changes;

    SAFETY ALERT 2021-01 Version No. 1 Issue Date 08/01/2021 Pilot transfer arrangements 1. Purpose 1.1. This Safety Alert is issued by The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) to bring the results of the International Maritime Pilot Association (IMPA) Safety Campaign 2020 to the attention of seafarers, pilots, owners, managers and Classification Societies. 2. Introduction 2.1 IMPA represents the international community of pilots. It conducts an annual safety campaign with the objective of reporting pilots’ experiences of ladders and boarding equipment to the International Maritime Organization and the wider shipping community. This year’s campaign is especially relevant following the tragic death of two pilots, whilst attempting to board vessels using combination ladders, since the last campaign. 2.2 2020’s campaign received 6394 reports from pilots operating across the world. Broadly in line with previous years’ findings, 12.11% of arrangements were reported to be non- compliant with combination ladders and pilot ladders having the most defects by both number and percentage. SA 2021-01 SAFETY ALERT Page 1 of 4 SAFETY ALERT [YEAR CREATED]-01 3. Common defects 3.1 Broadly, reported defects can be categorised in to four areas: design, procedure, rigging and maintenance. 3.2 Procedural issues can be avoided through clear communication and implementation of requirements: 3.3 Defects identified in the rigging and maintenance of ladders are generally self- explanatory and can be reduced through an effective planned maintenance regime and consistent application of guidance: 3.4 Many of the common issues found with securing of pilot ladders are steps taken by crews as a way to work around constraints imposed by deck cargo, loading or other prevailing circumstances.

  • Ladders – Issue Eight
    LADDERS The recruit newsletter of the South Euclid Fire Department Climbing to a career as a firefighter in the South Euclid Fire Department, one rung at a time. Issue Eight Your Resume Is your resume ready to go? Have you ever written a resume? In this issue we will discuss resumes, first working on items to put in the resume and then how to prepare the resume. A proper and well written resume will not help you advance your career unless it contains the experience and training employers are looking for. These qualifications can be worked on while you pursue your dream job. The focus must be on what makes you an exceptional candidate. You should work on your basic training first, fire school and medic school. Experience is very valuable, even if it is part time, volunteer or in a field related to firefighting. Even your non-fire education can be an asset. Degrees in fire related fields are preferred but even degrees in non-fire related fields show your strength in education. There are numerous opportunities for you to add to your resume. Consider on-line classes that are low cost or free. Work on other certifications such as fire inspector, instructor or arson investigation. All of these relevant items on your resume demonstrate your training, skills and passion for the job. Other items such as involvement in community organizations help the potential employer see that you care about the community. The actual resume is not hard to write. The internet is full of help and examples. Resumes should be easy to read, and contain only relevant information.

  • Lesson 1 Introduction to Epidemiology
    Lesson 1 Introduction to Epidemiology Epidemiology is considered the basic science of public health, and with good reason. Epidemiology is: a) a quantitative basic science built on a working knowledge of probability, statistics, and sound research methods; b) a method of causal reasoning based on developing and testing hypotheses pertaining to occurrence and prevention of morbidity and mortality; and c) a tool for public health action to promote and protect the public’s health based on science, causal reasoning, and a dose of practical common sense (2). As a public health discipline, epidemiology is instilled with the spirit that epidemiologic information should be used to promote and protect the public’s health. Hence, epidemiology involves both science and public health practice. The term applied epidemiology is sometimes used to describe the application or practice of epidemiology to address public health issues. Examples of applied epidemiology include the following: • the monitoring of reports of communicable diseases in the community • the study of whether a particular dietary component influences your risk of developing cancer • evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of a cholesterol awareness program • analysis of historical trends and current data to project future public health resource needs Objectives After studying this lesson and answering the questions in the exercises, a student will be able to do the following: • Define epidemiology • Summarize the historical evolution of epidemiology • Describe the elements of a case
