Ep 2: Are the things that kill or maim us -- SIFS -- the same as the things that hurt us?

Today we explore the following paper: Bayona, A., Hallowell, M. R., & Bhandari, S. (2024). TheThings That Hurt People Are Not the Same as the Things That Kill People: Key Differences in the Proximal Causes of Low-and High-Severity Construction Injuries. Journalof Construction Engineering and Management, 150(8), 04024089.
