Insurability of Hazardous Materials Activities

Hazardous Materials & Hazardous Waste Management

The Hazardous Material Removal Program will provide all academic departments and faculty with the opportunity to dispose of unneeded hazardous chemicals and radioactive material with no EH&S recharge. The disposal program will be organized building by building and advanced notice will be given to each department. Radioactive waste and materials along with routine chemical waste will be collecte...

Hazardous Materials Transport Risk

In this paper, we propose toll-setting as an alternative policy tool to regulate the use of roads for dangerous goods shipments. We propose a mathematical formulation as well as a solution method for the hazardous materials tool problem. Based on a comparative analysis of proposed mathematical models, we show that toll policies can be more effective than the popular network design policies that...

Accurate calculation of hazardous materials transport risks

We propose two path-selection algorithms for the transport of hazardous materials. The algorithms can deal with link impedances that are path-dependent. This approach is superior to the use of a standard shortest path algorithm, common in the literature and practice, which results in inaccuracies. c © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Decrements Encountered when Wearing Hazardous Materials Gloves

Hazardous materials gloves (HAZMAT) are frequently worn when performing clinical technical skills, but it is unclear how sensory and motor performance is affected in these circumstances. In Experiment 1, two timed standardized manual dexterity tests, and a test of sensory function were administered. Glove use resulted in a decreased ability to manipulate small objects and a decreased sensitivit...
