AIMS To explore the relation between safety climate (workers' perceptions regarding management's attitudes towards occupational safety and health) and workers' behaviour at work. METHODS Cross sectional survey of workers at the pottery industry in Castellon, Spain. Sampling was stratified by plant size and workers' gender, according to data on the working population at this setting. A total o...

During last decades, owing to the increase in a number of vehicles, the rate of accident occurrence grows significantly. Efforts must be made to provide efficient tools to prioritize segments requiring safety improvement and identify influential factors on accidents. This objective of the research was to determine the safety oriented threshold of International Roughness Index (IRI) to recognize...

We point out de ciencies of previous treatments of liveness We de ne a new liveness condition in two forms one based on nite trace theory and the other on automata We prove the equivalence of these two de nitions We also intro duce a safety condition and provide modular and hierarchical veri cation theorems for both safety and liveness Finally we present a veri cation algorithm for liveness Ind...

Slope stability analysis has received increased attention recently. Slope stability problems may be solved using both deterministic and probabilistic approaches and can be characterized as optimization problems. In the deterministic approach, the factor of safety is the function to be minimized, and for probabilistic analysis, the reliability index is considered the objective function. The sear...

According to the qualitative safety evaluation index system of electric power communication network, it is easy to occur in the scoring problems, we put forward a kind of expert evaluation data by correlation degree, solve the problem of qualitative index difference. The method based on Relative Grey Relational Analysis on safety evaluation data, the establishment of expert evaluation of the re...
