background: the objectives of this paper are three folds. first, an integrated framework for designing and development of the integrated health, safety and environment (hse) model is presented. second, it is implemented and tested for a large gas refinery in iran. third, it is shown whether the total ergonomics model is superior to the conventional ergonomics approach. this study is among the f...

This report summarises the findings of a follow-up study to the HSE/DETR/Home Office/HM Treasury Project 'relativities' study (HSE CRR 273/2000), which sought to elicit public preferences for preventing fatalities in several hazard contexts (railway/road accidents and public/home fires). The very public debate in the media and elsewhere regarding the organisation of rail safety following the La...

BACKGROUND The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has defined six management standards representing aspects of work that, if poorly managed, are associated with lower levels of employee health and productivity, and increased sickness absence. The HSE indicator tool aims to measure organizations' performance in managing the primary stressors identified by the HSE management standards. AIMS The ...

3. The available literature for the two groups of compounds are summarised in this paper. In the case of the chlorinated paraffins, the available data were recently reviewed by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as rapporteur of the risk assessments under the EU Existing Substances Regulation. Only papers published after these risk assessments in 1999 for short chain compounds and 2004 fo...

Europe plays a major role in the international semiconductor industry, but has conducted few studies of the occupational health of its workers. An exception is in the United Kingdom, where, in two small studies, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) evaluated some health effects of semiconductor work. Neither of these studies, largely restricted to Scotland, produced definitive results, and bot...

objectives: the objective of this study is to evaluate the safety climate as an important part of macroergonomics domains and to determine the importance of each safety climate factor in an iranian company. methods: for data gathering, the researchers used macroergonomic organizational questionnaire survey (moqs) method. for conducting this method we applied safety climate questionnaire which h...

upstream oil and gas operations could have adverse impacts on the environment and society as well as the safety, security and health of people. therefore, as a pre-condition to commence any oil and gas project, there must be a comprehensive eshia report, prepared and submitted by contractor to doe, in which all necessary precautions and a concrete program are considered to avoid, control or red...

The Health and Safety Commission set out a number of targets and strategies in Revitalising Health and Safety that were aimed at improving UK health and safety performance over the period 2000-2010. One such strategy included a better understanding of health and safety responsibilities through the contractor client interface and the supply chain. The supply chain is particularly important in th...

Phase contrast microscopy (PCM) is an internationally accepted method for the evaluation of occupational exposure to asbestos fi bres present in breathed air. Despite the widespread use of this method, which is based on counting fi bres under a microscope, it has some inherent limitations which may impact on counting results and consequently affect exposure evaluations. An asbestos guide (Healt...

The commercialisation and everyday use of nanomaterials nanomaterial-enabled products (NEPs) is rising year-on-year. Responsible development nanotechnology includes understanding their potential implications on health, safety, the environment (HSE). health risk assessment has therefore become one major activities international agencies including Organisation for Economic Co-operation Developmen...
