About
Patrick Patterson has carved a distinctive niche at the intersection of occupational safety and industrial engineering, with a primary focus on accident prevention in small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMSEs). His most cited work, "Modern Cause and Effect Model by Factors of Root Cause for Accident Prevention in Small to Medium Sized Enterprises" (2021, 6 citations), introduces a novel analytical framework that moves beyond traditional root cause analysis. Patterson’s key contribution lies in developing an intensity-based model that quantifies how specific factors—such as falls, slips, and jammed injuries—interact to cause workplace accidents, offering SMSEs a practical tool for targeted prevention. This work is particularly notable for its application to South Korean industries, where small enterprises face unique safety challenges. While his citation count is modest, Patterson’s research addresses a critical gap in occupational health literature by providing data-driven, actionable insights for resource-constrained settings. His approach has been recognized for its potential to reduce accident frequency through systematic factor analysis, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to make smaller workplaces safer and more resilient.
