It aims to implement and evaluate effective measures to control and mitigate these risks. A novel approach integrates virtual reality (VR), double upper approximated rough number (DUARN), safety function deployment (SFD) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) principles to assess the effectiveness of risk control systems (RCSs). A three-dimensional VR environment is developed to enhance the effectiveness of safety training for EOT crane operators in a steel manufacturing plant. The study presents a granulated SFD (GSFD) approach that utilizes granular computing to precisely model the uncertainties arising from experts' opinions, particularly EOT crane operators. The uncertainties pertain to hazards, initiating mechanisms (IMs) and associated RCSs identified after VR-based training. The proposed model is a three-stage granular house of safety (HoS) that aims to clarify the connections between hazards, IMs and RCSs. The results show that standard operating procedures (SOPs) are the top intervention, ensuring consistent and safe crane operations, and VR-based safety training (VRST) is crucial for immersive, risk-free hazard recognition. Interlocked protective devices and smart wearable technology can also enhance safety by preventing accidents and monitoring worker health in real-time. This comprehensive approach shows the potential for significant improvements in operational safety, providing an adequate framework for various industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147345277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alcohol and mobile phone use while driving have been found to be important factors in road injuries. Although legislative changes, like 'The Motor Vehicle (Amendement) Act, 2019', introduced stricter penalties to control dangerous driving behavior, limited evidence exists regarding their real-world impact in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) like India. This study examines the impact of increased penalties on alcohol and mobile-related accidents in India using \"Road Accidents in India\" reports. Accident trends were assessed before and after the implementation of stricter penalties using year-on-year statistical testing for proportion differences. Drunk driving and mobile phone-related violations increased until 2019 but showed a significant decline following the introduction of higher penalties, sustained up until 2021. Findings show that while stricter penalties help, lasting impact depends on consistent enforcement, public awareness, and attitudinal changes toward road safety.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined road traffic fatalities in Ghana from 1991 to 2024, identified their major causes and compared Ghana's situation with that of selected African countries. Data were obtained from credible sources, including the National Road Safety Authority, the World Health Organisation, the Ghana Highway Authority and relevant local studies. The findings show that more than 46,000 people died in road crashes between 1991 and 2018, with an additional 2,494 deaths recorded in 2024 alone. The leading causes were poor road infrastructure, driver error and vehicle defects. Comparative analysis revealed that Ghana's road fatality rate is higher than that of Rwanda and Nigeria, despite Ghana having a smaller vehicle population. Using a statistical projection based on historical trends, the study indicates that Ghana could record more than 2,800 road deaths in a single year by 2030 if current conditions persist. This trajectory suggests that the country is unlikely to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal target of halving road traffic deaths. These findings highlight a crisis that has become normalised in everyday life, where road travel is often perceived as a gamble. Urgent and coordinated action is therefore required, including improved road infrastructure, expansion of dual carriageways, stricter enforcement of traffic regulations and sustained public education. Road safety in Ghana has become a national public health and development priority rather than a transport issue alone.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147311276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 2015 World Health Organization report speculated about the potential value of safety restraints (\"safety harness\") that strap the child to the adult rider and aim to prevent young children from slipping off motorcycles. Although the WHO report recommended that the concept should be evaluated before adoption, India recently became the first country to mandate the use of child safety harnesses. Epidemiological data from India show that children rarely slip off motorcycles. In contrast, crashes of motorcycles that are carrying young children are far more common. In a crash, a child who is tethered to an adult is likely to sustain more severe injuries because of the adult's mass and movement during impact. Therefore, the risks posed by harnesses to children may far exceed their benefits. Policies promoting these devices will likely create a false sense of safety among parents that could increase the transport of young children on motorcycles and in more risky conditions. India's policy mandating their use should be discontinued until more evidence is available. We call for urgent reconsideration and redirection of attention toward evidence-based strategies to protect children in traffic.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147285649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compared traffic accident characteristics between young-elderly (65-74 years) and older-elderly (≥75 years) road users in Taiwan, where motorcycles dominate the transportation environment. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests were applied to examine differences in accident characteristics, injury and fatality proportions, and urbanization areas, while logistic regression were used to assess the age-related differences in injury and fatality outcomes. The results showed that motor accidents were prevalent among the elderly. Compared with the young-elderly, the older-elderly had higher injury and fatality proportions, with lower proportion of car accidents but higher proportions of bicycle and pedestrian accidents. In addition, drunk driving was more prevalent among the young-elderly across all vehicle types, whereas unlicensed motor vehicle driving was more common among the older-elderly. These findings reveal distinct risk patterns between elderly subgroups and underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance traffic safety in both aging populations and motorcycle-dependent societies.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145935418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Descriptive statistics summarized fatality rates and trends, while comparative analysis assessed regional differences. Additional sources included UN regulations, the UN Population Division, and World Bank indicators. The EMR, representing about 8.8% of the global population, accounts for 10.51% of all RTI fatalities, with a fatality rate of 16.4 per 100,000, compared to 9.3 in Europe. Among high-income countries, the average rate is 10.0 per 100,000. The highest rates are in Saudi Arabia (18.5) and Oman (11.0). Oman reduced its RTI fatalities from 29.5 per 100,000 in 2013 to 11 in 2023, with 497 fatalities reported that year; 21% involved four-wheeled vehicles and pedestrians.

Despite advancements and rigorous evaluation, a significant 'lab-to-road' gap between standardised test performance and actual on-road crash outcomes critically undermines real-world safety. Existing literature on vehicle safety testing and real-world performance was comprehensively analyzed to reveal that this gap arises from multifaceted and interconnected factors, unveiling critical shortcomings in how safety is currently assessed. These include a predominant tendency to test elements in isolation, the slow adaptation of testing methods to evolving vehicle technologies and road dynamics, and a reliance on test scenarios that are unable to capture complex real-world conditions adequately. Bridging this critical divide is essential for fostering public trust and robustly advancing safer vehicle technologies. This review underscores the urgent need for a paradigm shift towards more holistic, adaptive, and evidence-based safety assessment frameworks to ensure innovations effectively safeguard lives and strategically prioritise future research efforts.","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145901259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
