Full textAbstract:
This paper, primarily based on a literature review, considers the utilization of adult learning principles in training learners to operate high risk equipment. Vocational Education and Training sectors throughout the world are traditionally responsible for training delivery in these areas where generally andragogical principles as defined by Knowles (1970), are applied with, in some cases, application of a heutagogical approach, as outlined by Hase and Kenyon (2000). Aside from considering these approaches, a new approach is proposed, referred to as authology, with a basis of including notions of responsibility and duty of care in adult learning.
There are numerous training programs in vocational education and training, such as those related to high risk equipment and plant operation, for which development of learner responsibility is a critical component in the training given the potential to cause harm, injury or fatality.

BACKGROUND: Recently, oil and gas industries have focused on risk-based methods to specifically compile inspection, maintenance, and management strategies worldwide.
AIM: The provided method in this study is a management tool to recognize and then prioritize the equipment’s risks and, consequently, propose an inspection plan based on these risks. In fact, it is a risk analysis aspect of an inspection plan for industrial equipment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study is performed on de-ethanizer unit, considering variety of process equipment including distillation tower, exchanger, pressure vessel, drum, and related piping. To initiate the study, first, the risk-based inspection (RBI) team formed, then all required data were gathered and 22 equipment were identified based on the method.
RESULTS: After RBI be performed and risks are estimated, 13.6% of equipment rated on high risk, 63.63% rated on medium risk, and 22.72% rated on low-risk classification. Based on specific risk criteria for equipment, we determined new parameters as inspection level and type of inspection and finally integrated them. As one of the obtained results, the overhaul maintenance of the unit was postponed to a later time and for equipment that should inspect before this year, reduction risk strategy and advance none distractive test defined, and their inspection time also postpone to 2015 from 2012 to 2013.
CONCLUSION: This decision results in saving a shutdown cost, inspection cost, reduction of failure, and increasing of equipment reliability factor. The result of this study will be helpful to assist similar industries improving their risk management plans.

The correct selection and utilization of respiratory personal protective equipment is of the utmost importance in the current COVID-19 pandemic. This is especially true for health care workers exposed to high-risk aerosol-generating procedures, including otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and laparoscopic surgeons. This communication provides a review of approved forms of respiratory protection and compares their characteristics, including surgical masks, N95 respirator, elastomeric respirators, powered air-purifying respirators, and controlled air-purifying respirators. For standard airborne precautions, N95 respirator are appropriate for respiratory protection. However, high-risk aerosol-generating procedures may create aerosolization of high viral loads that represent increased risk to health care workers. In these situations, enhanced respiratory protection with filters certified as 99, 100, or HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) may be appropriate.

Occupational risk assessment was carried out for the employees of 956 different professions of 20 enterprises under study in five sectors of the economy: construction, mining, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and warehousing. The study was conducted using the Methodological Recommendation on the implementation of the occupational risk management system at an enterprise. This Methodological Recommendation was developed by the Republican state enterprise on the right of economic management — Republican Scientific Research Institute for Labour Protection of Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Occupational risks were assessed in the context of specific professions and structural divisions of the enterprises by five indicators: harmful working conditions, injury risk of the labor process, safety of production equipment, availability of personal protective equipment, and risk of morbidity. Based on the results of the assessment, the degree of individual occupational risk on each assessed indicator is determined by five gradations: I — acceptable risk, II — low, III — medium, IV — high and V — very high. According to the results of the occupational risk assessment, a high risk (4 degree) was established at the enterprises of mining, construction, agricultural industries, as well as transport, and warehousing industries. According to the results of equipment safety assessment, a high risk (grade IV) was identified at the enterprises of transport and mining industries. Due to the low provision with the personal protective equipment and its non-compliance with the certification requirements, a high risk is assigned to the enterprises of mining and construction industries. It is established that a high degree of occupational risk is due to the injury risk of working conditions, insufficient provision of personal protective equipment along with their low quality, the severity and intensity of the labor process accompanied by a high degree of the employees morbidity, as well as the use of the outdated equipment in production.

Purposes: To provide descriptive information about the sound levels to which high-risk infants are exposed in various actual environmental conditions in the NICU, including the impact of physical renovation on sound levels, and to assess the contributions of various types of equipment, alarms, and activities to sound levels in simulated conditions in the NICU.Design: Descriptive and comparative design.Sample: Convenience sample of 134 infants at a southeastern quarternary children’s hospital.Main Outcome Variable: A-weighted decibel (dBA) sound levels under various actual and simulated environmental conditions.Results: The renovated NICU was, on average, 4–6 dBA quieter across all environmental conditions than a comparable nonrenovated room, representing a significant sound level reduction. Sound levels remained above consensus recommendations despite physical redesign and staff training. Respiratory therapy equipment, alarms, staff talking, and infant fussiness contributed to higher sound levels.Conclusion: Evidence-based sound-reducing strategies are proposed. Findings were used to plan environment management as part of a developmental, family-centered care, performance improvement program and in new NICU planning.

Full textAbstract:
The continuity and smooth running of the telecommunications system plays an important role during this pandemic. The smooth running of the telecommunications system cannot be separated from the maintenance function of the equipment used to support the telecommunications system. PT. HIJ is one of the partners of the company PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, which is engaged in the maintenance of telecommunications equipment. One of the projects handled by PT. HIJ is a telecommunications equipment maintenance project in the East Java area network. As is known, in a telecommunications equipment maintenance project there are several risks that have an impact on the completion of the project. The results of the identified risk assessment will be developed further into risk mitigation, i.e. actions that can reduce the identified risk. As a result of the research, five risk aspects were identified: maintenance, finance and accounting, human resources (HR), procurement, and operational. According to the risk assessment result, there are 19 risks that can be classified based on risk level, with 7 in the moderate level of risk, 5 in the high level of risk, and 7 in the extreme level of risk. As a result of the research, it is suggested that risk mitigation be implemented for 5 risks with a high level of risk and 7 risks with an extreme level of risk.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, safety critical equipment is identified in the computerised maintenance management system, at a whole- or subsystem level, during detailed design. Once the computerised maintenance management system is commissioned, thousands of equipment tags are identified as safety critical, and the categorisation is rarely looked at holistically again. As an industry, we are constantly working to reduce the maintenance and operating costs of our facilities without compromising safety. A change in operating risk profile of a facility presents an often-overlooked opportunity to achieve this. A risk-based review of safety critical equipment identified in the computerised maintenance management system can allow for reduction of the critical maintenance burden and facility operating costs. For established facilities, a detailed review of safety critical elements and equipment is generally limited to life extension projects or major brownfields modifications. However, over the operating life of a facility the risk profile and risk tolerances may change. This paper considers three potential causes of change and the opportunities that arise. These causes of change include: (i) change in risk profile due to changing operating conditions, e.g. reservoir depletion; (ii) change of operator resulting in a different operational risk appetite; and (iii) changing in industry risk data or methodologies. Applying a targeted risk-based review to the high-value or high-risk safety critical equipment affected by these changes can provide justification of changes to their safety criticality rating. This paper presents a methodology for providing a transparent, risk-based approach to re-classifying safety criticality which aligns with regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of hospital organizational affiliation on perinatal outcomes is unknown. Using the 2004 American Hospital Association Annual Survey and Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases, the authors examined relationships among organizational affiliation, equipment and service availability and provision, and in-hospital mortality for 5,133 infants across five states born with very low and extremely low birth weight and congenital anomalies. In adjusted bivariate probit selection models, the authors found that government hospitals had significantly higher mortality rates than not-for-profit nonreligious hospitals. Mortality differences among other types of affiliation (Catholic, not-for-profit religious, not-for-profit nonreligious, and for-profit) were not statistically significant. This is encouraging as health care reform efforts call for providers at facilities with different institutional values to coordinate care across facilities. Although there are anecdotes of facility religious affiliation being related to health care decisions, the authors did not find evidence of these relationships in their data.

<p>Proper maintenance management of medical equipment is of prime importance to the health sector as otherwise this would result in poor treatment, longer waiting times and patients suffering as well as draining, the normally limited, financial resources of most public medical institutions. King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC), Amman-Jordan is a unique medical institution where treatment of different types of cancer is provided and where equipment unavailability is considered a risky event which may result in life-threatening complications. This is especially true for critical treatment equipment. Criticality analysis was performed on a representative sample of medical equipment at KHCC in order to assess and improve the effectiveness of current maintenance management policy. A sample of twenty-one medical devices was selected for this study. Past failure and maintenance data, in addition to relevant financial information, were collected for these devices and compiled into criticality ranks. In order to take account of the special nature of these equipment medical criticality (in terms of risk score) values were also calculated based on relevant tables of the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE). Overall criticality ranking of medical equipment was then determined based on equipment cost, ASHE risk score, reliability and maintenance cost. The present results have revealed major flaws within the purchase and maintenance policies at KHCC. For example, some extremely expensive devices with extremely high-cost maintenance contracts were revealed to exhibit low reliability values and suffer from repeated failures. These were within patient-sensitive equipment cancer treatment devices. The results also have shown that under "less than optimum" maintenance practice, the ASHE risk score may be a misleading measure of equipment criticality. This was shown by comparing the obtained overall equipment criticality to their ASHE risk score where high level of discrepancy was present between the two measures.</p>

Abstract Facing the increasingly complex power grid architecture and high equipment failure risk, a comprehensive equipment condition analysis method based on knowledge reasoning is proposed in this paper, mainly using the large amount of characteristic information to realize the condition evaluation, fault detection and early warning. Firstly, it statistically analyzes the historical data, extracts the characteristic information of equipment health status and builds a knowledge mapping library of key factors for equipment-centered status analysis; secondly, it establishes an intelligent early warning library of equipment index data, and gets the probability of equipment defects and fault risks through induction-based knowledge reasoning method; finally, it gets the equipment status rating through logic and rule-based knowledge reasoning method and the closed-loop system of equipment status evaluation is established. The reasonableness of the evaluation method is verified by the examples, which realizes supervision equipment operation status mining early warning, sensing equipment operation status in advance and reducing potential operation risk of power grid.

Three propylene spherical tanks which have both the same manufacturing parameters and conditions have been assessed based on risk assessment and non-destructive testing technology. One of the spherical tanks is stopped for comprehensive inspection, and the result of inspection verifies the reliability of risk assessment, which is applied to other two unopened propylene spherical tanks. Meanwhile, in order to make overall inspection level meet the requirements of the risk assessment and so reduce spherical tanks assessing risk, ultrasonic diffraction detection (TOFD) with high detection rate and fluorescent magnetic surface detection technology are adopted to ensure comprehensive test meeting the risk assessment requirements, which can also provide significant guidance for future complete equipment inspection.

Objective The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has placed unprecedented challenges on the world and the medical community. It is transmitted through droplets, contact, the fecal-oral route, and airborne transmission under certain conditions that allow droplets to combine with air particles to form an aerosol. Viral loads are higher in the nasal area and similar in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Medical situations have been classified into high and low risk of generating aerosols. Most procedures and surgery in otolaryngology correspond to high-risk medical situations. This review aims to gather the vast amount of available information and generate recommendations for different surgical procedures according to aerosolization risk and COVID-19 status, with use of specific personal protective equipment in each case. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and Food and Drug Administration. Review Methods We conducted a review on the literature on personal protective equipment for otolaryngologic surgery and surgical indication restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 is an easily transmitted virus. Asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with COVID-19 present an upper airway high viral load, conferring otolaryngologic procedures a high risk of aerosolization. Surgical procedures must be categorized according to aerosolization risk and the possibility of COVID-19 diagnosis, according to use of personal protective equipment. Implications for Practice This review contributes to scientific knowledge regarding the detailed description of protective personal equipment and, most important, surgical recommendations to reduce the risk of infection in the otolaryngology community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The industrial development and the increase in the use of fossil fuels have been accelerating global warming and climate change, thereby causing more frequent and intense natural disasters than ever before. Since electrical facilities are generally installed outdoors, they are greatly affected by natural disasters, thus accidents related to electrical equipment has been on the rise. In this paper, we present the risk rating associated with climate change by analyzing the statistics of electrical fires, electric shock accidents and electrical equipment accidents caused by domestic climate change. Further, we present a risk rating analysis model for electrical fires on a monthly basis through the data analysis of electrical hazards associated with various regional (metropolitan city) climatic conditions (temperature, humidity), and analyze the accident risk rating for natural disasters related to low and high voltage equipment. Through this risk analysis model for each region and type of equipment, we presented a basic prediction model for electrical hazards. Therefore, it is possible to provide electrical safety services in the future by displaying a risk prediction map of electrical hazards for each region and type of electrical equipment through web sites or smart phone apps using the presented analysis data. Further, efforts should be made to increase the robustness or reliability of electrical equipment in order to prevent electrical accidents caused by natural disasters due to climate change in advance.

Full textAbstract:
As rhinologists return to practice amid SARS-CoV-2, special considerations are warranted given the unique features of their subspecialty. Rhinologist manipulation of nasal tissue, proximity, and frequent aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) create high risk for infection transmission. There are 4 areas of special consideration to mitigate risk: (1) previsit planning for risk stratification/mitigation, (2) appropriate personal protective equipment, (3) preprocedural testing, and (4) environmental controls. During previsit planning, risk factors of the patient and procedures are considered. High-risk AGPs are identified by duration, proximity, manipulation of high–viral load tissue, and use of powered instrumentation. Appropriate personal protective equipment includes selection of respiratory and eye protection. COVID-19 testing can screen for asymptomatic carriers prior to high-risk procedures; however, alternative testing methods are required in rhinologic patients not eligible for nasopharyngeal testing due to nasal obstruction or skull base defects. Last, AGPs in rhinologic practices require considerations of room air handling and environmental controls.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) model to select the maintenance policy of an acid manufacturing company.Design/methodology/approachFour maintenance strategies of Corrective Maintenance (CM), Time-Based Maintenance (TBM), Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) and Shutdown Maintenance (SM) are investigated to be considered for seven equipment of the case study. These equipment are almost new and include boiler, molten sulfur ponds, cooling towers, absorption tower, converter, sulfur fuel furnace and heat exchanger. Chang’s extended analysis has been employed to deal with fuzzy data and analyze the fuzzy decision matrices. The proposed approach is applied to a sulfuric acid production plant and the suitable maintenance policy is found for all seven equipment of the company.FindingsBased on the obtained results, the CBM policy is appropriate for high-risk (cooling tower) and high added value equipment (absorption tower). In addition, TBM is selected for boiler and converters while SM is selected for molten sulfur ponds. Finally, high-cost, low-risk and low added value equipment (sulfur fuel furnace and heat exchanger) are more appropriate with CM policy.Originality/valueThis research presents a novel idea to consider cost, risk and added value in the context of maintenance policy selection. From the methodological and theoretical features, this research offers new insights in this area since, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no comparable study has been conducted before.

Full textAbstract:
Medical imaging equipment (MIE) is the baseline of providing patient diagnosis in healthcare facilities. However, that type of equipment poses high risk for patients, operators, and environment in terms of technology and application. Considering risk management in MIE management is rarely covered in literature. The study proposes a methodology that controls risks associated with MIE management. The methodology is based on proposing a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that lead to identify a set of undesired events (UDEs), and through a risk matrix, a risk level is evaluated. By using cloud computing software, risks could be controlled to be manageable. The methodology was verified by using a data set of 204 pieces of MIE along 104 hospitals, which belong to Egyptian Ministry of Health. Results point to appropriateness of proposed KPIs and UDEs in risk evaluation and control. Thus, the study reveals that optimizing risks taking into account the costs has an impact on risk control of MIE management.

Abstract. The use of high resolution hydrodynamic modelling to simulate the potential effects of tsunami events can provide relevant information about the most probable inundation areas. Moreover, the consideration of complementary data such as the type of buildings, location of priority equipment, type of roads, enables mapping of the most vulnerable zones, computing of the expected damage on man-made structures, constrain of the definition of rescue areas and escape routes, adaptation of emergency plans and proper evaluation of the vulnerability associated with different areas and/or equipment. Such an approach was used to evaluate the specific risks associated with a potential occurrence of a tsunami event in the region of Setúbal (Portugal), which was one of the areas most seriously affected by the 1755 tsunami. In order to perform an evaluation of the hazard associated with the occurrence of a similar event, high resolution wave propagation simulations were performed considering different potential earthquake sources with different magnitudes. Based on these simulations, detailed inundation maps associated with the different events were produced. These results were combined with the available information on the vulnerability of the local infrastructures (building types, roads and streets characteristics, priority buildings) in order to impose restrictions in the production of high-scale potential damage maps, escape routes and emergency routes maps.

Full textAbstract:
SARS-CoV-2 virus causes COVID-19, which is characterized by a high level of aerosol spreading of viral particles. Aerosol generating procedures are high-risk procedures for anesthesiologists and necessities expensive high level protective personal equipment (PPE) (level 3). The problem with COVID-19 is the high number of patients, which presents an economic burden for the health care system and country, and causes issues with human and equipment resources. Airway protocols vary among hospitals like three gloves technique, videolaryngoscope, FFP3 masks, eye protection, and additional shield. All parts of the anesthesiologist's body need to be covered with protective equipment. Extubation is also considered as high risk from the point of aerosol production, and PPE level 3 is required. Patient monitoring for early warning signs leads to intubation, which is predicted and planned. The patient is preoxygenated, fully relaxed, without mask ventilation as rapid sequence intubation. The suggested time for intubation is 30 s, immediate cuff inflation, followed by a tube connecting with the machine for mechanical ventilation. Capnography serves for the tracheal intubation confirmation. Supraglottic devices and cryccothyteothomy are reserved for situation can't intubate-can't oxygenate. Airway procedures are considered as high-risk procedure, and the most experienced anesthesiologist should perform them in the shortest possible time. The best solution is to have an airway dedicated team, educated in simulation center for this specifiec type of intubation, proper planning, prepared and checked medications and equipment.

This research aims for guidance in improving the productivity of the machines in case study of refinery plant based on the principle of preventive maintenance of machinery applications. This is to increase the availability and improve the reliability and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the machines. From the data collected showed that high cost of maintenance is quite high caused by non-standard maintenance and no prioritization of machine maintenance. Therefore, the researchers proposed a maintenance program developed based on reliability engineering with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). FMEA was the first brought to analyze the root causes of machine failure and to evaluate the risk priority number (RPN). The data was performed preventive maintenance plan standardized the maintenance system in order to optimize maintenance task and maximize the efficiency of machinery. After applying FMEA, the result showed that the chance of failure in equipment was very low (1 time in 12 years) after the scheduled maintenance plan and opportunities to detect damage in advance was moderate to high. Therefore, the equipment with a moderate to high risk is likely more damage than the first round of maintenance (5 years). Moreover, the average of the residual risk level analysis of the machine decreased by 59.165% and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) increased from 92.66% to 98%

Abstract Background Few data exist to guide the physical design of biocontainment units, particularly the doffing area. This can impact the contamination risk of healthcare workers (HCWs) during doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE). Methods In phase I of our study, we analyzed simulations of a standard patient care task with 56 trained HCWs focusing on doffing of high-level PPE. In phase II, using a rapid cycle improvement approach, we tested different balance aids and redesigned doffing area layouts with 38 students. In phase III, we tested 1 redesigned layout with an additional 10 trained HCWs. We assessed the effectiveness of design changes on improving the HCW performance (measured by occurrence and number of risky behaviors) and reducing the physical and cognitive load by comparing the results from phase I and phase III. Results The physical load was highest when participants were removing their shoe covers without any balance aid; the use of a chair required the lowest physical effort, followed by horizontal and vertical grab bars. In the revised design (phase III), the overall performance of participants improved. There was a significant decrease in the number of HCW risky behaviors (P = .004); 5 risky behaviors were eliminated and 2 others increased. There was a significant decrease in physical load when removing disposable shoe covers (P = .04), and participants reported a similar workload in the redesigned doffing layout (P = .43). Conclusions Through optimizing the design and layout of the doffing space, we reduced risky behaviors of HCWs during doffing of high-level PPE.

Full textAbstract:
The industry expenditure savings motive requires a cost/benefit analysis to optimise Integrity Management budgets. The challenge of estimating precise risk costs requires that numeric Probabilities of Failure (PoF) be known at the highest possible level of confidence, as equipment items specific PoFs govern the actual probability of financial losses and safety implications. The first-hand information on the equipment actual integrity condition is contained in numeric results of integrity inspections. In practice, these results are seldom analysed statistically, being collapsed into single ‘worst case’ values. This simplification prevents assessing of equipment specific actual PoFs and from quantifying failure risks when using traditional methods. We developed a new-generation inspection planning and assessment strategy applied to oil and gas pressure equipment. Evaluating equipment PoFs enables assessing risk costs and optimising the budgets, as well as setting justified internal inspection coverage and frequency objectives. This is achieved by a statistical analysis of numeric inspection data. Existing inspection data (such as ultrasonic testing spot-checks) can be used for a first-pass analysis. Statistical plotting of such data automatically visualises the data quality, and the relevant recommendations for improving inspection coverage or tools are drawn where necessary. We found that two criteria drive integrity decision making: failure total costs and annual fatality expectancies. These criteria are mutually complementary. Both need to be considered for a safe and profitable plant operation. Equipment individual risk control strategy is then developed from safety compliance and budget savings maximising standpoints, thereby also enabling confident design and procurement decisions. This is a new-generation strategy suitable for bringing together all branches of plant management and for improving confidence of the parties. We see it as an evolutionary update to Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance practice, which is now in high demand due to cost pressures.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Surgeries performed for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) place the medical staff at very high risk of infection. We suggest recommendations for appropriate operation preparation, anesthetic management, and infection control for COVID-19 patients in operating rooms.Current Concepts: Surgeries must be performed in an airborne infection isolation room, such as a negative-pressure operating room. It is recommended that scheduled surgeries for COVID-19 patients be postponed to an acceptable extent, with the exception of emergency cases. Moreover, the number of medical staff participating in the surgery should be minimized. Medical staffs should practice proper hand hygiene and wear an appropriate level of personal protective equipment depending on the infection risk. While performing surgery and inducing anesthesia in COVID-19 patients, endotracheal intubation should be performed by trained anesthesiologists with a video laryngoscope, preferably using high-efficiency viral filters, which can prevent contamination in the anesthesia machine. Use of disposable equipment or COVID-19 patient-specific devices is recommended to prevent the spread of infection, but instruments that require sharing among multiple patients must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before their use for the next patient.Discussion and Conclusion: Medical staff performing surgeries for COVID-19 patients are at very high risk of infection. Therefore, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, high-efficiency viral filters in breathing circuits during anesthesia, and disinfection of contaminated equipment after the operation are mandatory.

Abstract Background Human-to-human transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 occurs during exposure to infectious respiratory particles generated by humans with COVID-19. Global personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages necessitate further studies looking at the correlation between PPE use and transmission of COVID-19 to healthcare workers (HCW). This study aims to provide data on test positivity rates of HCW wearing different PPE. Methods Retrospective Case Series. During the study period from Mar-Apr 2020, HCW were tested for SARS-CoV-2 if they 1) were exposed to COVID-19 case OR 2) had symptoms of potential COVID-19 disease per CDC criteria. Respirator masks defined as N95 or higher were used in high risk departments (Emergency and Urgent Care (ERUC), Medical/Surgical (MSU), and Intensive Care (ICU) units). Medical masks defined as surgical or procedural masks were used in low risk, outpatient departments. All departments used gowns, gloves, eye protection, and appropriate masks. Results In low risk departments, 124/1578 (7.9%) of HCW tested positive, compared to 118/1499 (7.9%) of HCW who worked in high risk departments (p=0.9886). In high risk departments, 55/626 of HCW who worked in MSU, 37/459 of HCW who worked in ERUC, and 26/414 who worked in ICU tested positive. In a logistic regression model comparing tested individuals in high risk departments to those in ambulatory settings, a slightly lower risk of a positive test among ICU employees (OR=0.786, CI=0.508–1.217) was found, and a similar risk among ERUC employees (OR=1.028, CI=0.701–1.508) and MSU employees (OR=1.129, CI=0.810–1.574) was found, but the differences were not statistically significant (p=0.5364). Conclusion HCW in ambulatory settings who used medical masks did not test positive at a higher rate than providers in high risk departments using respirators. The slightly lower positive rate in ICU providers may suggest respirator masks are beneficial in settings with higher risk of aerosolizing generating procedures, or it maybe related to training and familiarity with infection control procedures. The level of mask used was equally appropriate across all risk level care settings, providing evidence for local strategies to optimize PPE stewardship based on department assignments while protecting HCW during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Goal setting safety legislation for high pressure systems was first introduced in 1973 and retained in the High Pressure Safety Management Law in Korea. This has enabled a move towards inspection strategies based on the risk of failure. This trend towards a risk based approach is being supported by extensive plant operating experience, improved understanding of material degradation mechanisms, and the availability of fitness-for-service assessment procedures. RBI (Risk-Based Inspection) is very effective and efficient of the inspection and maintenance techniques. In particular, RBI will be found how to apply both inspection interval as a result of RBI implementation and re-inspection interval of pressurized equipment defined by the High Pressure Safety Management Law in Korea. The objectives of this paper are to develop an enhanced KGS-RBITM program to resolve shortcoming inclusive of the above issue and to evaluate the risks of equipments in Naphtha Cracking Center (NCC) which is a typical facility of petrochemical plant using the KGS-RBITM program. The results of the risk assessment and re-inspection interval of internal opening using KGS-RBITM program are useful in determining the inspection planning.

Background: Exposure to whole body vibration (WBV) at work and development of musculoskeletal disorders are well linked. Vehicle vibrations are usually perceived to occur in vertical direction and are likely to cause lumbar disorders in operators. Vibration characteristics of the machines need to be studied and compared with work practices which may indicate nature of health risk to operators. This may help in developing specific action plans to control vibration related health risk. Objective: The objectives of the study were, to measure and analyze vibration magnitudes, observe work practices of Loaders and Dozers, evaluate health risk to their operators and to formulate recommendations for control measures. Methods and Material: Frequency weighted Root Mean Square values of acceleration data was collected as per guidelines in ISO 2631-1:1997 using human vibration analyzers. WBV exposure of 40 (Forty) Loader and Dozer operators in eight opencast mines were evaluated to assess health risk using vibration magnitude and corresponding daily exposure durations. Results and Conclusion: The dominant axis of vibration in dozers was found to be X (front to back) in 80% of the equipments. This is different from transporting equipment like Dumpers which have Z axis as dominant axis of vibration. A continuous change of movement in forward and reverse direction and rash driving were found to be contributory factors for increased vibration intensity along X- axis. It was observed that 27(68%) of them showed moderate whereas 12(30%) equipment showed high health risk. It is suggested that vibration control measures should be designed and adopted based not only on the intensity but also on the dominant axis typical to the equipment and work practices.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijosh.v2i2.6144 International Journal of Occupational Safety and Health, Vol 2.

Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) stand the risk of acquiring infection directly, while attending to patients or indirectly while handling and testing patient specimens. Considering this, the present study was planned to assess Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) breaches and exposures among HCWs working in COVID-19 wards/ screening areas and to evaluate their COVID-19 positivity rates post-exposure concerning the level of exposure, type of PPE breach, and the cadre of HCWs exposed in COVID-19 wards. Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study involved the analysis of all instances of PPE breaches which occurred during a period of nine months from June 2020 to February 2021 at a tertiary care level hospital in Central India. The analysis included all exposures involving any cadre of HCWs that occurred while handling the patients or while doffing the contaminated PPE in COVID -19 wards. Results A total of 347 PPE breaches were analyzed from the available records of the Hospital Infection Control team repository. Amongst the 347 breaches, 268 (77.2%) were classified as low-risk exposures and 79 (22.8%) as high-risk exposures. Cadre wise distribution of high and low-risk exposures revealed that, PPE breaches occurred most commonly in the category of nursing officers (n = 174, 50.1%). Among all of the breaches, 15.2% of high-risk exposures and 2.6% of low-risk exposures resulted in COVID-19 positivity with a cumulative positivity of 5.4%. Collectively, non-mask related breaches accounted for the majority (63.2%) of the positive COVID-19 cases. Conclusion Appropriate use of PPE by HCWs is vital for their protection. However, breaches in the use of PPE may occur while managing COVID-19 patients due to physical and mental exhaustion among HCWs resulting from work overload. Early identification and appropriate management of HCWs with high-risk exposures can help prevent transmission to other hospital staff and patients, thus preserving resources and workforce.

Human-centered safe design is an increasingly influential approach in mining and other high-hazard work domains in part due to a growing recognition of the contribution of design to occupational safety. Human- centered safe design aims to eliminate workplace hazards by systematically involving end-users in the design of equipment. In this paper, the need for human-centered safe design work in the minerals industry is first introduced and a method previously developed by the authors and colleagues is presented. This human-centered safe design method is a task-based, participatory ergonomics, risk management approach that focuses on mining equipment operators and maintainers. A case study follows which demonstrates that focusing on end-users and their tasks by means of a structured user-centered process can help produce fit- for-purpose equipment for the mining industry.

Abstract Thermal power plant is a typical equipment-intensive enterprise, and regular inspection and spot inspection of production equipment is the most important measure to find equipment defects in time and ensure safe production of enterprises. In many years of practical application, the traditional inspection method, which relies mainly on visual inspection by spot inspectors, has been widely used. There are many shortcomings, such as missing detection, low efficiency, insufficient depth of data mining and high security risk. Based on the equipment management mode of spot inspection and regular maintenance in power plants, this paper proposes an unmanned intelligent spot inspection system for power plants, which combines intelligent sensors with diagnostic algorithms, by sorting out the work content of traditional manual spot inspection. The intelligent and unmanned management of spot inspection and regular repair in thermal power plants is realized, which has certain reference significance for improving the operation reliability of power plants and reducing the safety risk of spot inspection personnel.

Maintenance training of airborne electronic equipment is the guarantee of working orderly for the airplane. The best choice of maintenance training is using real electronic equipment so that high training cost and potential damage to normally working equipment exist. To reduce the training cost and risk, a virtual maintenance training system of airborne electronic equipment is designed and implemented using virtual reality technology. The architecture of this virtual training system is given. In this architecture, three-dimensional model of electronic equipment is implemented by 3DMax software, and GL Studio software is used to create the operation response of all manipulations. Signal models based on multi signals flaw graph is used to simulate various faults. Finally, the application of this virtual maintenance training system in daily aircraft maintenance training show good training efficiency.

This study analyzes the relationships between the awareness levels of supply chain risk management (SCRM) importance, the level of development, and their influence on business performance in the shipbuilding and marine equipment industry. In addition, this study highlights the differences in awareness levels according to country-specific characteristics by comparing South Korea, China, and Singapore, leading suppliers of shipbuilding and marine equipment. Based on a questionnaire survey of 165 respondents, this study conducted a factor analysis and ANOVA. The results indicate that the surveyed companies highly value the importance of risk management overall, with the information and forecast risk factor being highest rated. However, the high levels of awareness of importance does not lead to satisfactory levels of SCRM development. In addition, the comparative analysis between countries indicates statistically significant differences in the awareness of importance and the development level. Finally, the results show that awareness of environmental risk and destructive risk factors, which are vital for long-term survival and sustained competitive advantages, are low. The findings in this study offers a useful baseline for future studies on developing SCRM in the shipbuilding and marine equipment market and establishing relevant policies and systems.

A community sample of ninety-one HIV seronegative IDUs were randomly assigned to either a one-hour, one-on-one, intensive educational intervention or a fifteen-minute “standard” educational session. Risk behaviors for the prior six months were assessed by interview before the intervention and six months later. Self-reported injecting drug use decreased from 100% to 70% at the six-month follow-up and the proportion injecting daily dropped from 42% to 18%. The proportion who used someone else's injection equipment dropped from 65% to 34%. Nearly all IDUs who continued to inject reported using bleach to clean their equipment. There was no significant additional benefit from the intensive intervention. Variables hypothesized to mediate reduction in HIV risk behavior (personal distress, perceived personal risk, and intention to reduce risky behavior) were not associated with reduction of activities with high-risk for HIV infection. These data suggest that individualized, short-term educational interventions probably have limited impact on lowering frequency of risky behaviors.
