need to know the vulnerables of health and safety on confined sites, their conequences and wsys to mitigate.......
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Maduhu Kisuja,
I was working more than 20 years in the private sector, and the main application which I faced in terms of OHS for confined sites was for brownfield and waste site remediation (means extracting old oil storages, supervision of small steep extraction pits and other underground works). You may find some detailed information on how to analyse the risks here: http://www.hsa.ie/eng/Topics/Confined_Spaces/
Further I attach a model for a management plan for working in confined sites.
Best regards, Petra

Thank you in advance for your idea and benchmark country indication.

Answer
I'm tempted to say ITALY. The field is governed by a fairly recent law (2008) which strongly promotes the adoption of a safety management system. Italy is one of the countries where it is the most popular of the safety management system. tools for every type of business, including the smallest are provided. In the most advanced are successfully applied it poor sectors, agriculture and construction, we are at the beginning. We have a lot of material, but it is almost all in Italian.
As I know Germany, Finland, French have very good systems, as well as the UK and the Netherlands.

I have been wondering if I perform some machining on a completed product, will it somehow affect the factor of safety of the product ?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, factor of safety encapsulates/ revolves uncertainties. See enclosed link to another RG question :  
So if you perform some machining on a completed product, you will add uncertainties and thus affect the factor of safety of the product.

how to discharge the superheated steam after utilization in electricity/power plant ?
Relevant answer
Answer
Superheated steam exiting the turbine can be used as process steam such as for superheated steam drying before condensing the steam, which may be a solution to prepare the steam for discharging. Please refer to our below paper if you are interested: Morey, R.V., H. Zheng, N. Kaliyan, and M.V. Pham. 2014. Modelling of superheated steam drying for combined heat and power at a corn ethanol plant using Aspen Plus software. Biosystems Engineering, 119: 80-88.

Component (such as light bulbs and electronic elements) is commonly used for electronic product and other mass produced items. Such methods are now being used for equipment-see OREDA database.  The component reliability method uses the concept of hazard function, mean time to failure, mean time to repair to determine the reliability. However, reliability of equipment depends on the mode of operation, as not all equipment working at full specification all the time. Moreover, the number of equipment failure is not on par with light bulbs failure, and equipment fails due to various reasons.  It seems a better way to determine equipment reliability would be to use FORM, SORM and other similar method.
Where do you stand with regard to such practice?
Relevant answer
Answer
One should consider experimental methods such as (highly accelerated life testing (HALT ) and screening methods to ensuring quality such as (highly accelerated stress screening) HASS.

What are the factors that can affect the Factor of safety in designing a mechanical component? Factor of safety is capacity of a system beyond the expected loads or actual loads.
Relevant answer
Answer
The probability of failure is a function of loading history and intensity as well as the material properties (yield strength, modulus of elasticity, etc.) and structural dimension (member sizes, geometry etc.).
In the capacity-demand model, the probability of failure or unsatisfactory performance is defined as the probability that the demand (loads) on a system or component exceeds the capacity of the system or component. The capacity and demand can be combined into a single function (the performance function), and the event that the capacity equals the demand taken as the limit state.
One can use the safety factor as the limit state function.

Human error frameworks are frequently used across a wide range of applications to drive design changes and the creation of regulatory measures. Despite the impact that human error framework studies can have, the field lacks a standardized method of training and proof of proficiency within human error frameworks.
Researchers at Oregon State University are performing a study to understand the current practices of researchers when training for the application of human error frameworks.
Research Study Title: Industry Survey of Training Methods for Human Error Frameworks
Principal Investigator: Dr. Ken Funk
Co-Investigator: Dr. Mei Lien
Student Researcher: Katarina Morowsky
Estimated Time to Complete: 10 – 30 minutes
If you wish to participate within the survey, please use the following link: http://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_etbYLnMwhdzNv2B

I want to investigate the readiness of industrial workers toward application of behavioural based safety program in their workplace.
Relevant answer
Answer
The three behavioural models look to assess behaviour directly while the effect of culture should be assessed by cross-cultural comparisons. Discrepancies in the answers to the questions in the models between different countries are probably due to the cultural differences, but that doesnt make the model unusable. If anything you WANT your model to be sensitive to these differences. As long as you perform a confirmatory factor analysis once you have adapted the model to suit your research needs I dont think you should have any issues.
As far as which model you should use, I agree with Shamsul. Each has their pros and cons, but several of their key constructs overlap. However, as UTAUT is a model that integrates others, I have found it useful at the very least for making sure that you are covering your bases. Unless you want to use TPB or TAM for a specific reason, I'd suggest you focus on UTAUT as it is a fairly solid  I am using UTAUT in the study of the acceptance of eco-driving devices and information in the EU-funded ecoDriver project across multiple European countries. Similarly, I am using it to study the acceptance of automated road transport systems in the Eu-funded CityMobil2 project (underway) across multiple European countries. For an overview of the three models of behaviour, have a look at the attached deliverable (Chapter 2) I contributed to for EcoDriver. See Chapter 4 onwards for how we adapted the model for our needs.
I hope this helps!

According to literatures the best precursor for synthesis an Ag containing material is silver nitrate, and I should mix it with ethanol. Is there any way to make it without explosion? Or I should chose another precursor? If yes, what precursor is similar to silver nitrate in solubility in water?
Relevant answer
Answer
Thanks for your consideration. I can't change ethanol. If I will forced to change a precursor I should replace silver nitrate with nano silver powder and it is too expensive for me.  I want to mix 1 gram of silver nitrate with 100 ml ethanol and stir it for 24 hours.Someone told me that this amount isn't dangerous, Do you agree?

I am looking for a survey for climate or culture to work in my dissertation on safety culture in a construction field. I have found surveys for hospitals and references to surveys, but when I ask the researchers to use their surveys it is in excess of $10,000 + individual survey expense. Does anyone know of one that is available without cost?

We use much more paper in office and personal life. Some offices use so more paper about requirement and many time we use only one side of paper and some dummy letter, chart, other dummy detail certi. By offices which is not required.
Relevant answer
Answer
Within a University environment. For meetings I commonly have papers on an iPad and do not print them. (Get the organizer to provide pdf.)  Have the agenda on a screen, not on a paper by every place.  Get students to submit coursework online instead of hard copy.  Use the Turnitin facility to annotate with comments as well as give a numerical mark.  This also saves staff time in organizing papers and makes archiving easier in case of queries or appeals later on.

Starting next month I'm asked to evaluate a new pilot line in automobile production. Its all about break design. So when should workers take breaks and how long should they be? Is there any benefit in more short breaks? Do more breaks enhance the worklife?
To answer those questions we plan on using questionaires and measurement methods. What questionaire should we use? For measurements we planned on heart-rate before an after the break and maybe cortisol-values in the morning and in the evening compared to a control group?
