The book analyzes the different major accidents which can occur in process plants and during the transportation of hazardous materials. The main features of fires, explosions and toxic releases are discussed, and a set of mathematical models allowing the prediction of their effects and consequences are explained. With a practical approach, the models are applied to simple illustrative examples, as well as to more complex real cases. The use of these calculations in the frame of Quantitative Risk Analysis is also treated.Evaluation of the effects of major accidents in industrial install

This succinct but absorbing book covers the main way stations on James Reason's 40-year journey in pursuit of the nature and varieties of human error. He presents an engrossing and very personal perspective, offering the reader exceptional insights, wisdom and wit as only James Reason can. A Life in Error charts the development of his seminal and hugely influential work from its original focus into individual cognitive psychology through the broadening of scope to embrace social, organizational and systemic issues.

In Nederland werd door de Rijkswet van 2 december 2004 de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid opgericht. Deze onafhankelijke raad stelt onderzoeken in naar rampen, ongevallen en incidenten en formuleert op basis daarvan adviezen aan de betrokken actoren om de veiligheid te versterken. De gasexplosie in Gellingen, de treinramp in Buizingen en de trein- en giframp in Wetteren zijn slechts enkele voorbeelden van ernstige voorvallen die zich de afgelopen jaren in België hebben voorgedaan. Gedurende de periode 2010-2011 heeft het Leuvens Instituut voor Criminologie, in opdracht van de Algemene Directie Veiligheid en Preventie (FOD Binnenlandse Zaken) en in samenwerking met het Crisiscentrum, onderzocht of de beleidsmatige reactie ten aanzien van zulke voorvallen adequaat is en of de oprichting van een onafhankelijk onderzoeksorgaan ook zinvol zou zijn in de Belgische context. Dit boek vormt de volgende stap in de reflectie over de mogelijke oprichting van een dergelijk onderzoeksorgaan in België.

Entsendungen und dauerhafte Auslandsbeschäftigung sind inzwischen ein weltweites Phänomen. Grenzüberschreitende Freizügigkeit bedarf aber der Begleitung durch grenzüberschreitende soziale Sicherung. Dies gilt auch für das Risiko von Arbeitsunfall und Berufskrankheit. Eine fehlende Koordinierung der nationalen Sozialrechtsordnungen und des Internationalen Privatrechts birgt hier die Gefahr von Schutzlücken für den Arbeitnehmer und von ungeklärten deliktischen Haftungsrisiken seines Arbeitgebers. Am Beispiel der internationalen Ausrichtung der deutschen gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung und der australischen Workers Compensation untersucht die Autorin diese Risiken umfassend. Mit einem detaillierten Raster praxisnaher Fallbeispiele ermittelt sie Defizite bei Versicherungsschutz, Leistungsrecht und Arbeitgeberhaftung und zeigt konkrete Lösungsmöglichkeiten auf. Bestehende völkerrechtliche Abkommen und das koordinierende Sozialrecht der EG sind als Musterregelungen in die Untersuchung einbezogen.

Accidents are generally regarded as unexpected events that do not fall into any regular pattern. Such is not the case. Analysis of the historical records of accident mortality rates in general, and specifically in industry and transport, shows that they diminish with the passage of time in an ordered fashion, although we are not consciously aware of this fact.In his challenging book Fatal Accidents, the author, in order to explain this paradox, proposes a model of human behaviour in which the reduction in fatal accident rates results from a development of skill, such that the populatio

"Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are the leading cause of worker impairment, disability, compensation costs and loss of productivity in industrialized countries. The aging of the workforce and the increased diffusion of physically demanding jobs contribute to the widespread concern about musculoskeletal disorders.The effective prevention of work related musculoskeletal disorders needs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing together experience from backgrounds in engineering, mechanics, physiology, occupational medicine and psychology; all considered in the context of ergonomics.This book is a collection of lectures on both back and upper limb musculoskeletal disorders presented at an International Course sponsored by the Nordic Institute for Advanced Training in Occupational Health (NIVA), and the University of Bologna in September 1999. The lectures were given by renowned international researchers on the subject and therefore the book provides a comprehensive overview of all critical issues related to musculoskeletal disorders at work. The book forms an update to the latest research in the field and will interest a wide range of professionals and researchers in ergonomics as well as in the fields from which the material is drawn.The book covers the main topics addressed in dealing with occupational ergonomics including: "occupational biomechanics * physiology * epidemiology * psychosocial issues * medical diagnosis and management * ergonomic solutions"--Provided by publisher.
