ERGOCHECK for a Preliminary Mapping of Risk at Work Tools Guidelines and Applications

ERGOCHECK for a Preliminary Mapping of Risk at Work Tools Guidelines and Applications

One of the latest developments being pursued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international organizations (ILO ISO) in relation to preventing work-related diseases and disorders concerns the creation of toolkits and within them of simple tools. This book suggests a methodology and a comprehensive simple tool (ERGOCHECK downloadable for free from the website www. epmresearch. org) for bringing together various potential risk factors to undertake a preliminary mapping of discomfort/danger in the workplaces and to assess consequent priorities for prevention especially (but not only) in small and very small businesses. The tool is primarily designed to be used by employers OSH (Occupational Health and Safety) operators and trade union representatives but it may also be useful for occupational medical staff conducting periodical inspections and drafting health surveillance protocols and for supervisory bodies (labor inspectors) conducting inspections in the workplace needing to rapidly detect potentially dangerous situations requiring specific preventive interventions. Daniela Colombini is a certified European ergonomist and a senior researcher at the Research Unit Ergonomics of Posture and Movement Milan where she developed methods for the analysis evaluation and management of risk and damage from occupational biomechanical overload.

Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

Maintaining the substance that made Introduction to the Thermodynamic of Materials a perennial best seller for decades this Sixth Edition is updated to reflect the broadening field of materials science and engineering. The new edition is reorganized into three major sections to align the book for practical coursework with the first (Thermodynamic Principles) and second (Phase Equilibria) sections aimed at use in a one semester undergraduate course. The third section (Reactions and Transformations) can be used in other courses of the curriculum that deal with oxidation energy and phase transformations. The book is updated to include the role of work terms other than PV work (e. g. magnetic work) along with their attendant aspects of entropy Maxwell equations and the role of such applied fields on phase diagrams. There is also an increased emphasis on the thermodynamics of phase transformations and the Sixth Edition features an entirely new chapter 15 that links specific thermodynamic applications to the study of phase transformations. The book also features more than 50 new end of chapter problems and more than 50 new figures. | Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

Confined Space Entry Guide to Compliance

Confined Space Entry Guide to Compliance

FROM THE PREFACEThis book brings together (in one text) all of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regulatory requirements for making safe and proper confined space entries. Because confined space entry is a complicated procedure-and a process that contains inherent risks-those concerned with safety in the work place are constantly concerned with how to reduce the risks associated with confined space entry how to eliminate or decrease the hazards workers face in confined spaces and how to prevent injuries and fatalities from occurring in confined spaces. But comprehensive materials on confined space entry are difficult to find. Surprisingly little material on the subject is commercially available. Confined Space Entry: A Guide to Compliance collects all of the associated requirements and regulations including OSHA's Confined Space Lockout/Tagout Respiratory Protection Standards and Hot Work Permit requirements in this guidebook. These separate specific safety standards and requirements have been combined and organized-as they should be since each is married to the other-in a way that enables you (the user) to easily determine the critical relationship(s) between and among them-but more importantly to teach you how to enter confined spaces safely-and how to provide workers with effective training for proper confined space entry. Written in user-friendly jargon-free plain English this guidebook provides you with clear sample programs to serve as models when you write your own programs. Workers have a growing need for more knowledge of the hazards of their work environments-and especially of confined spaces. To fulfill this imperative need individuals and government must work together to better inform-and protect-these workers as they are exposed to a variety of complex and potentially life-threatening situations in confined spaces. The message this text delivers is simple: The better both workers and management understand | Confined Space Entry Guide to Compliance

Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

A hydroinformatics system represents an electronic knowledge encapsulator that models part of the real world and can be used for the simulation and analysis of physical chemical and biological processes in water systems in order to achieve a better management of the aquatic environment. Thus modelling is at the heart of hydroinformatics. The theory of nonlinear dynamics and chaos and the extent to which recent improvements in the understanding of inherently nonlinear natural processes present challenges to the use of mathematical models in the analysis of water and environmental systems are elaborated in this work. In particular it demonstrates that the deterministic chaos present in many nonlinear systems can impose fundamental limitations on our ability to predict behaviour even when well-defined mathematical models exist. On the other hand methodologies and tools from the theory of nonlinear dynamics and chaos can provide means for a better accuracy of short-term predictions as demonstrated through the practical applications in this work. | Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems
