Ergonomic Checkpoints
Author: International Labour OfficePublisher: International Labour Organization
ISBN: 9789221094425
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Prepared in collaboration with the International Ergonomics Association, this book presents a compilation of 128 illustrated ideas which identify practical and inexpensive solutions to ergonomic problems in the workplace. The checkpoints can be used either to check working conditions on the spot or at the design stage, and are suited to a wide variety of premises. Each checkpoint indicates an action, explains why it is necessary, gives advice on its implementation and other relevant information. Ergonomic issues covered include: materials storage and handling; hand tools; machine safety; improving workstation design; lighting; premises; control of hazardous substances; welfare facilities; and work organisation.
Third International Conference on System Science in Health Care
Author: W. van EimerenPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642699391
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1444
Book Description
In the early stages of planning the Third International Conference in System Science in Health Care, the steering committee members, most of whom had participated in the first conference in Paris (1976) and the second in Montreal (1980), made some basic decisions about organization of subject matter. The earlier meetings had been very successful in bringing together specialists from the health professions and the traditional sciences. In addition to physicians and nurses, these were representatives of the disciplines of the behavioral sciences, system theory, economics, engineering, and the emergency fields of management science and informatics -all concerned with the development of health resources in a broad system context. The reported research and experience of the many disciplines represented had dealt with one or more of three concerns: 1) a major health problem, such as cardiovascular disease, or an important popUlation at risk, such as the elderly or children or workers; 2) some generic aspect of organization and decision making, including trial and evaluation ofinnovative health strategies; and 3) the methodology of research and analysis in system of health service. The challenge to the conference organizers lay in the eliciting and arranging of experiences in such a way that the health services could be seen as purposeful,living, evolving systems.
Risk Analysis VIII
Author: C. A. BrebbiaPublisher: WIT Press
ISBN: 1845646207
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
Comprised of the papers presented at the eighth, and latest, International Conference Simulation in Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation, this book covers a topic of increasing importance. Scientific knowledge is essential to our better understanding of risk. Natural hazards such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, fires and others, have always affected human societies. Man-made hazards, however, played a comparatively small role until the industrial revolution when the risk of catastrophic events started to increase due to the rapid growth of new technologies and the urbanisation of populations. The interaction of natural and anthropogenic risks adds to the complexity of the problem.Due to advances in computational methods and the ability to model systems more precisely we can now quantify hazards, simulate their effects and calculate risk with greater accuracy, enabling us to manage risk much more effectively. These developments are particularly relevant to environmental issues, where substantial risks are involved. Governments, and their publics, now place a high priority on effective risk management and the mitigation of possible hazards. Covering topics such as: Estimation of Risk; Risk Management; Vulnerability; Geomorphologic Risk; Network Systems; Climate Change Risks; Hazard Prevention; Management and Control; Security and Public Safety; Transportation Safety; Safe Ship Operations; Early Warning Systems; Food Safety; Risk Perception; Natural Hazards; Technological Risk, the book will be of interest to planners, emergency managers, environmentalists, engineers, policy makers and other government officials, researchers and academics involved in the field of risk and disaster management.
