background: conventional health, safety and environment (hse) are a widely used approach to enhance availability and efficiency of complex systems. the integrated hsee system is defined however as integration of conventional hse with ergonomics approach. the presented hsee system introduces a unique, effective and systemic mechanism, which integrates the structure of the human and organizationa...

This report deals with issues relating to the growing use of commercially available software adapted / applied to assist in the management of maintenance activities on offshore production installations. HSE has become aware of potential failings and reliability-related problems regarding the use of this software, and of certain industry-based concerns regarding the automation of maintenance sch...

The objective of this study is to design a fuzzy expert system for performance assessment of health, safety, environment (HSE) and ergonomics system factors in a gas refinery. This will lead to a robust control system for continuous assessment and improvement of HSE and ergonomics performance. The importance of this study stems from the current lack of formal integrated methodologies for interp...

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is one of the commonest viral brain disorders of immunocompetent individuals, with an annual incidence estimated at between 1 in 250 000 and 1 in a million of the population. Most cases are due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1; up to 10% may be caused by HSV-2. Encephalitis is postulated to occur as a consequence of centripetal spread of virus from sites of...

BACKGROUND Conventional health, safety and environment (HSE) are a widely used approach to enhance availability and efficiency of complex systems. The integrated HSEE system is defined however as integration of conventional HSE with ergonomics approach.

BACKGROUND The UK Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) Management Standards (MS) approach has been developed to help organizations manage potential sources of work-related stress. Although there is general support for the assessment model adopted by this approach, to date, there has been no empirical investigation of the relationship between the actual MS (as measured by the final revised versio...

The unavailability of sufficient data and uncertainty in modeling, some techniques, and decision-making processes play a significant role in many engineering and management problems.  Attain to sure solutions for a problem under accurate consideration is essential.  In this paper, an application of fuzzy inference system for modeling the indeterminacy involved in the problem of HSE risk assessm...
