Risk Chain Mining of Hazard Sources in Metro Operation System Safety: A New Method to Mine and Control Risk for Safety Management

Safety issues, risk analysis, hazard management and control

The occurrence of hazard events in geotechnical practice is often associated with geotechnical uncertainties. To prevent hazard events from happening or reduce the impacts of their consequence, sources of geotechnical uncertainties need to be identified and treated, and appropriate control measure has to be implemented throughout a project. The probabilistic methods are the devices dealing with...

A FLEXIBLE METHOD OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT AND INVESTIGATING FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF SAFETY PROGRAM

Construction industry has the highest ratio of fatality of workers in comparison with other industries. Construction safety has been always a matter of focus to control safety risks. This article presents a new flexible method of safety risk assessment by adding Hybrid Value Number (HVN) to the assessment equation. As a result of using this method, the results of assessment process will be more...

Effect of health, safety, and environment management system training on safety climate in a mine in Yazd Province, Iran

Background: Today, with the development of technology, the presence and role of human resources has been highlighted in industrial environments. Hence, the importance of safety culture is growing. Mining is the one of the most dangerous occupations. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effect of health, safety, and environment management system (HSE-MS) on safety climate in one ...

Health, safety and environmental risk management in laboratory fields

Background: Research project risks are uncertain contingent events or situations that, if transpire, will have positive or negative effects on objectives of a project. The Management of Health and Safety at Work (MHSW) Regulations 1999 require all employers and the self-employed persons to assess the risks from their work on anyone who may be affected by their activities. Risk assessment is the...
