The pros and cons of qualitative and quantitative analysis of safety systems
There are currently two separate coalitions regarding the analysis of safety/emergency shutdown/interlock systems used in the chemical and petroleum industries. These qualitative versus quantitative differences range from how risk is measured, how safety system performance is measured, and how the two can be related in order to determine which system is appropriate for the application in question. A review of each method is discussed along with their merits and limitations.

CIS 92-427 Traffic safety measures in our company
Waga sha no kōtsū anzen taisaku [en japonés]
The following 3 points are common keys to attain the goal of accident prevention: (1) the necessity of measures must be understood by company management, i.e., commitment by the whole company; (2) the company should show leadership in management organisations, stimulating them to issue directives and orders for safety to all employees, including vehicle drivers; and (3) small group activities in workplaces must be promoted, with drivers as the main target.

Reliability, safety and risk management: An integrated approach
The authors of this book advocate an integrated approach to safety, reliability and management which involves bringing together efficient engineering systems and controls of plant and equipment (hardware), efficient management systems and procedures (software), a practical understanding of people (liveware), and a general knowledge of other human factor considerations. They explain in an essentially non-mathematical manner how high levels of safety and reliability can be attained, how they are assessed, and how residual risk can be managed so as to minimise harm to humans and to the environment.

Some further evaluations of the International Safety Rating System
The International Safety Rating System (ISRS), also known as the "Five Star" programme, is a safety audit programme designed to be used by managers of industrial sites. Secondary analysis was performed on 3 sets of data that were originally collected to assess the effectiveness of the ISRS. The analyses, which were based on South African and Australian mining experience and North American industrial experience, showed that the ISRS programme has no discernible effect on accident rates.

Certification of safety services in large Dutch industrial companies
Study carried out for the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs in order to help develop criteria for the evaluation of safety services under Dutch legislation. The criteria were developed from a combination of theoretical considerations and systematic expert opinion. The evaluation instrument is based on consideration of the safety system of a company as a problem solving and monitoring system in which the safety service plays a stimulating, advising and monitoring role. Criteria for assessing this role based on a description submitted by the company and by on-site visits are described. The paper reports a pilot study of the instrument in 5 companies.

Project on chemical safety in Poland
This paper presents the main aspects of a proposed system of chemical safety in Poland. General principles include theoretical guidelines, definition of chemical safety, scope of issues, goals and targets of the system, organisational and legislative structures, and conditions for the implementation of the chemical safety system. This system is to be based on the idea that any activity related to the use of chemical substances creates a risk of producing adverse health and environmental effects. According to the definition adopted, chemical safety is said to exist when concentrations of chemical compounds in the environment do not rise to a point where there is a risk of harmful effects on health. It is proposed that the system be coordinated by the National Coordinating Committee on Chemical Safety. The most urgent task of the Committee would be to draft a law on health protection against toxic effects of chemical substances.

Prevention of decompression accidents caused by work in compressed air
Prévention des accidents de décompression dus au travail en air comprimé. Expérience du chantier du métro de Lille [en francés]
During work on the Lille (France) underground railway, a particular tunnelling technique was used: mud-pressure tunnelling. This technique requires workers to stay in a hyperbaric chamber. Physicians of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Centre, having been consulted by doctors of the construction site, developed a programme for the prevention of accidents related to work in a pressurised atmosphere. The programme, which requires close collaboration by occupational physicians, factory inspectors, foremen, emergency services, the fire brigade and the contractor, was highly successful. There were no decompression accidents at all. The development of such programmes is strongly recommended.

Catastrophe modeling of the accident process: Evaluation of an accident reduction program using the occupational hazards survey
In an attempt to explain and predict the contribution of human error to occupational accidents, an accident process model based on catastrophe theory was developed and tested. The Occupational Hazards Survey was used to gather data from US mill and foundry workers pertaining to hazards and dangers, adequacy of safety management, stress, anxiety, and beliefs about accident control. The experiment evaluated change in accident rates as a function of initial accident rates, survey variables, group size and implementations of recommendations derived from the survey data. It was concluded that qualitative variables and recommendations significantly impacted on accident rates, and that the nonlinear model was a superior predictor of change when compared with a linear model containing the same qualitative variables.

A guideline for managing the industrial hygiene sampling function
The "Alcoa Sampling Guideline" is an example of how one corporation manages the industrial hygiene sampling function. Its goals are to assure a healthful work environment and encourage personal monitoring. The concepts of baseline evaluation and periodic surveillance are introduced. Baselines are established whenever exposures are anticipated to approach or exceed 30% of the permissible limit. The statistical parameters of the baseline and other factors are used to determine periodic sampling needs. The periodic surveillance frequency varies from 6 months to 3 yr with three to nine samples required in each time interval. The guideline is intended to complement rather than to supplant the judgment of the industrial hygienist. As a management tool, the guideline is used to quantify plantwide sampling needs and derive sampling schedules. Moreover, criteria are available for evaluating the adequacy of a plant's exposure monitoring progrmme.

An approach to occupational health risk management for a diversified international corporation
The 3-step programme of plant reviews involves initial assessment visits designed to determine the compliance status and degree of sophistication of the occupational health programme. These assessments are followed by more formal assurance reviews which include consultation, training, and programme support. Finally, formal surveillance reviews are conducted to verify compliance with respect to company and regulatory agency requirements. Each type of review requires planning and adherence to a standardised process to allow comparability of the information generated. Critical elements of this approach include senior management support, knowledge of applicable regulations, and communication of results. Reporting is done on several levels and is designed to communicate relevant information to management from line supervisors to the board of directors. Corrective action, where indicated, is planned by local managers with assistance from other groups as required.

CIS 89-2097 Safety training programme aimed at unsafe behaviour and its success in a production facility of the automobile industry
Schwerpunktorientierte psychologische Massnahmenprogramme und deren Bewährung in einem Betrieb der Automobilindustrie [en alemán]
In a truck axle manufacturing plant in Kassel, Germany (Fed. Rep.), the frequency of serious accidents at the various production steps was determined. For each serious accident the unsafe human actions and their effects were identified. Between safety officers and managers a programme was worked out aiming at improving safety awareness among the workers. The success of the programme is illustrated by the reduction of accidents (per million workig hours) from 107 in 1983 to 60 in 1987.

Accident prevention in small industries
Occupational safety and health should be given top priority in order to prevent accidents and occupational diseases. Preventive measures should focus on the harmful effects of poor environmental conditions. Responsibilities of the employers in this respect include provision of a workplace free from recognised hazards, ensuring worksites conform to applicable standards, warning employees of potential hazards and ensuring employees follow safety and health requirements. A hazard analysis is a first requirement in minimising or reducing hazards. Dangers from machinery include mechanical hazards due to moving parts and less obvious hazards such as emission of radiation, noise and vibration and ergonomic defects. Machinery should be equipped with appropriate safeguards. Managers, supervisors and workers should be trained in safe working practices. The principles of ergonomics should be applied in all areas.
