road transportation by way of automobiles is a very convenient means of transportation. today, the most detrimental consequence of developing transportation systems in a country is traffic accident that places a huge financial burden on society. this paper investigates the role of information systems in transportation safety that leads to improved planning and operation of the transportation sy...

Due to the many constraints that small businesses (SBs) face in meeting legislative requirements, occupational health and safety (OHS) regulatory authorities and other OSH actors have developed programmes which can reach out to SBs and motivate and assist them in improving the work environment. A number of conceptual models help to enhance our understanding of OHS interventions in SBs and their...

In many regions, larger employers oversee a wide array of programs and activities to help manage the health, safety and well-being of workers. Examples of these functions include occupational safety and health programs, disability and return-to-work programs, disease management programs, worker compensation programs, employee assistance and health promotion or wellness programs, and various hum...

This literature review, with 232 citations, was prepared under contract to the American Welding Society for its Safety and Health Committee. The review deals with studies of the fumes, gases radiation, and noise generated during various arc welding processes. Section 1 summarizes recent studies of occupational exposures, Section 2 contains information related to the human health effects, and Se...

In the first phase of this study, the work has focused on the collection of data exploiting the state of existing knowledge. Review of literature on occupational and environmental exposures and related health outcomes in solid waste management systems is conducted. Reports are collected from several reliable sources at the national, state, and local levels from both public and private utilities...

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 ...

This e-fact aims to raise awareness of the occupational safety and health (OSH) risks associated with the planning and construction of green buildings, their maintenance, renovation (retrofitting) and demolition, as well as the collection of related construction or demolition waste on site (excluding the subsequent waste treatment and recycling). Some of these OSH risks are new compared with tr...

Tunnel construction is affected from its origins by different types of uncertainties responsible for innumerable safety risks. This problem has been addressed constantly during the last times achieving positive results, but the complex work scenarios and the common variability of the construction processes prevent putting an end to this problem. For this reason, this study presents an alternati...
