AIRCRAFT CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS METHODOLOGY BASED ON THE CONTROL OF THE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS. The article outlines some theoretical and methodological aspects of an interface between the continuing airworthiness and... more
Nuclear power accidents repeatedly reveal that the industry has an incomplete understanding of the complex risks involved in its operation. Through analyzing the investigation of a nuclear power incident in Sweden in 2006, I show how the... more
Standards concerned with the development of safety-critical systems, and the software in such systems in particular, abound today as the software crisis increasingly affects the world of embedded computer-based systems. The use of formal... more
The adoption of systems-focused risk assessment techniques has not led to measurable improvement in the rate of patient harm. Why? In part, because these tools focus solely on understanding problems, and provide no direct support for... more
Construction has been plagued with serious injuries and deaths for years. Unfortunately incidents have contributed to excessive loss of lives and damage to property, casting a pall over the construction industry. Past efforts in... more
There are three distinct phases of monitoring in the lifetime of an earth and rockfill dam. viz. construction, first reservoir filling and operation stage. During construction stage, rate of construction of earth and rockfill dam may... more
SUMMARY Most serious accidents at sea are caused by minor incidents that escalated into an uncontrolled situation. This study is aiming to develop a model to investigate the likelihood of fatal accidents, given that a critical incident... more
This work is an elementary but comprehensive textbook which provides the latest updates in the fields of Earthquake Engineering, Dynamics of Structures, Seismology and Seismic Design, introducing relevant new topics to the fields such as... more
Small and medium scale industries (SMIs) are often the main pillar of an economy. In India the plastic processing industries are highly fragmented which about 75% are consist of micro, small and medium scale industries in plastic sector,... more
The safety aspects of computer-based systems as increasingly important as the use of software escalates because of its convenience and flexibility. However the complexity of even modestly sized programs is such that the elimination of... more
Due to the growing demand for hydrocarbons, explorations at sea have increased with particular challenges such as exploitation in ultra-deep waters and frozen seas, which has led to the development of new technologies. Offshore activities... more
Book review
Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) has a key role in the quality system of thermal power plants. Electricity production is definitely not only production of a product, but also becomes a customer service. Reliability is the top... more
Risk assessment, by itself, does nothing to reduce risk or improve safety. It can only change outcomes by informing the design and management of effective risk control interventions. But current practice in healthcare risk management... more
This chapter is about managing sociotechnological risks. It is in the 70s that the notion of ‘high-risk’ (or ‘safety critical’) systems started to be distinguished and grouped into an independent category including industries such as the... more
Wie lässt sich das Phänomen der „Sicherheitskultur“ in seinen Zusammenhängen und Wechselwirkungen mit dem „professionellen Handeln“ bestimmen, und zwar so, dass es anhand dieser Bestimmung möglich wird, die Güte von Sicherheitskulturen zu... more
This report will investigate the accident that has occurred at Imperial Sugar production Company. As a consequence of the sugar dust explosion that took place at isolated conveyor belt which was located below bunker that stored the... more
The roles of standby man in confined space job cannot be overemphasized. For a person to qualified to work as a standby man, there are many qualities he must possess and responsibilities he must be ready to undertake. Beside these,... more
Although it is probably the best-known Prospective Hazard Analysis (PHA) tool, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is far from the only option available. This paper introduces one of the alternatives: The Structured What-If Technique... more
Safety Culture Mapping(Safety Culture Assessment) in High Risk Entities
Budaya Keselamatan perlu dilakukan agar setiap individu menyadari bahwa keselamatan itu dimulai dari diri sendiri
Author of the monograph, Juraj Králik, has been working at the Department of Structural Mechanics as assistant since September 1, 1976 and as associate professor since January 18, 1988. During the years 2000 - 2006 he was the head of... more
BACKGROUND: Fishbone diagrams have been widely promoted as a systems-focused hazard analysis tool for use in root cause analysis, but they suffer from a number of structural weaknesses, including a unidirectional structure that only takes... more
Although it is probably the best-known prospective hazard analysis (PHA) tool, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is far from the only option available. This article introduces one of the alternatives: The structured what-if... more
How do we learn from failures? and Why do we need to learn from failures? These seemingly simple questions are yet quite profound and we need to dig deeper to explore suitable answers. In this paper an empirical study based on the... more
There is great interest in ensuring correctness of safety-critical embedded systems since on the one hand the use of software gives greatly increased functionality and flexibility and on the other hand it provides unprecedented... more
During construction and initial reservoir impounding, performance of an earth and rock-fill dam is required to be closely and frequently monitored for safety of the dam. During construction stage, rate of construction of earth and... more
Industrial corporations around the world can be found who are proud of their safety records, safety achievements, and published their results on the Internet. Here are 34 companies who we found in 2015 searches that had important safety... more
A methodology is developed in this paper to estimate the time-dependent reliability of a pipeline in Algeria, which is in exploitation from 1981 and with internal and external localized corrosion defects detected in 2009. A probabilistic... more
The study was conducted in Abia State, Nigeria. A sample size of 240 respondents generated through purposive and multi–stage sampling procedures. Data were realized using structured questionnaire and they were analyzed using descriptive... more
MEMS reliability analysis is a challenging area of research which comprises various physics of failure and diverse failure mechanisms. Reliability issues are critical in both design and fabrication phases of MEMS devices as their... more
