Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Hazard and Safety Handbook (Revised Impression) describes and exposes the main hazards found in industry, with emphasis on how these hazards arise, are ignored, are identified, are eliminated, or are controlled. These hazard conditions can be due to human stresses (for example, insomnia), unsatisfactory working environments, as well as secret industrial processes. The book reviews the cost of accidents, human factors, inspections, insurance, legal aspects, planning for major emergencies, organization, and safety measures. The text discusses regulations, codes of practice, site layout, causes of building failure, condition monitoring, non-destructive testing, hazard analysis, and equipment design. The working environment of employees covers air and breathing, lighting and vision, noise and hearing, heat and comfort, fatigue and rest breaks, industrial hygiene and toxicology, or personal protective clothing and devices. The text also points out that some common industrial hazards are due to poor housekeeping (greasy floors, scattered tools), slipped disc (due to wrong handling of heavy loads), falls, falling objects, static electricity, lifting tackles, and wheeled transport inside factories. The book is intended for safety specialists, managers, and engineers responsible for design, production, inspection and maintenance in industry. The book will also be helpful for insurers or lawyers whose work is concerned with industrial accidents and their consequences.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book The Icl Inquiry Report written by ICL Inquiry and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Tuesday 11 May 2004, at about noon, an explosion occurred at Grovepark Mills, Maryhill, Glasgow which caused the substantial collapse of the former Mill building. As a result, 9 people lost their lives and 45 people were seriously injured or exposed to the risk of death or injury. The investigation established that the explosion was caused by the ignition of an explosive atmosphere that had formed in the basement area of the building. Excavations found that an underground pipe connecting an LPG storage tank to the LPG-fired oven was significantly corroded and this was aggravated by the weight of a piece of concrete that rested on it. There was a crack in the underside of a right-angled bend which caused a considerable leak close to the entry point of the pipe into the basement. It was not possible to determine for how long the gas had been leaking into the basement. ICL Tech and ICL Plastics were each fined £200,000 in court for health and safety failures, but the Inquiry also highlights inadequate risk appreciation and inspection by the Health and Safety Executive. The report examines the weaknesses of the regulatory regime that this disaster has exposed and sets out the general principles on which a proper safety regime for LPG should be based. An urgent programme of replacement of buried metallic pipework with polyethylene piping is recommended. A new safety regime for LPG is outlined. Research into the safety of polyethylene piping is also necessary. There should be prompt and effective communication between all interested parties of all technical developments in matters of LPG safety.
