Abstract
Relevance. Victims’ own negligence is a main cause of injuries among the EMERCOM of Russia officers.
The objective is to analyze occupational injury scenarios caused by ‘victims’ own negligence’ among the Federal Fire Service (FFS) officers and workers of the EMERCOM of Russia within 2010 to 2021 timespan.
Methods. The study examined 10,000 fire service officers to analyze the incidence of occupational injuries due to ‘victims’ own negligence within 2010 to 2021, depending on the injury-associated activity, patient’s position, age, type of injury, weekday and month of injury. We calculated arithmetic average values and errors (M ± m). By knowing the number of injuries and the number of fire service officers at risk, we calculated the risks of injury for specific occupational scenarios.
Results and discussion. The FFS officers of the EMERCOM of Russia are subject to the average annual risk of injury due to victims’ own negligence of (4.49 ± 0.62) ∙ 10–4 injuries / (person ∙ year). The risk of injuries commissioned officers (5.54 ± 0.87) ∙ 10–4 injuries/(person ∙ year) exceeds that among non-commissioned workers (3,14 ± 0,29) ∙ 10–4 (injuries/person ∙ year). Over 12 years, the incidence of injuries saw a 2.7-fold decrease among commissioned officers and a 1.4-fold decrease among non-commissioned workers. The share of injuries due to ‘victims’ own negligence’ stood at 36 % of the total number of occupational injuries among fire service officers.
Conclusion. The analysis of injury scenarios due to ‘victims’ own negligence’ among the FFS officers of the EMERCOM of Russia is a contribution to enhance prevention of occupational injuries among firefighters and reduce the death rate in occupational settings.
