Background and Objectives: Mental and physical safety is one of the most important needs of human beings, and the administrators of each community should specifically care about it. Meanwhile, hospitals, which themselves are health care providers, are in no way an exception to this rule. Thus, hospital administrators are expected to take the issues related to physical and mental safety of staff...

Behavior-analytic approaches to occupational safety are often effective for improving safety in organizations, and have been successful in a wide variety of settings. The effects of these safety processes are thought to arise primarily from the behavioral observation process and the delivery of feedback. Typically, supervisors or employee observers involved in behavioral safety implementations ...

There are several ways to describe and structure safety rules for railways, and a few examples are given in the report. A tentative holistic framework for describing safety features in relation to safety rules is presented. The approach has been applied on rules needed to regulate the communication between different railway organisations and other parties.

In this paper, we expand upon previously reported results of a dynamical systems model for the impact of plant processes and programmatic performance on nuclear plant safety risk. We utilize both analytical techniques and numerical simulations typical of the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems to obtain insights important for effective risk management. This includes use of bifurcation diagr...

Over the past several years, airlines have initiated or participated in a number of safety data programs. Each involves collection of voluntary safety reports or the monitoring of flight data. These initiatives grew from recognition that mitigating safety risks requires monitoring a variety of data streams – reports, observations, and flight data. They have spawned technologies within air carri...

Performance evaluation studies are to be an integral part of the design and tuning of parallel applications Their structure and their behavior are the dominating factors We propose a hierarchical approach to the systematic characterization of the workload of a parallel system to be kept as modular and exible as possible The methodology is based on three di erent but related layers the applicati...
