Behavior-based safety characteristics

Out of all kinds of methods of preventing accident, BBS (Behavior Based Safety) plays a significant role in the control and improvement of personal behavior, but the time it works lasts too long. BBS cannot satisfy the need of Chinese safety production, as far as the characteristic of instantaneity of accident occurrence and Chinese accident-prone situation are concerned. In fact, BBS is seldom used in Chinese coal mine in order to prevent accident and improve safety. 

The brief survey in Figure 17.4 addresses the desirable characteristics of participants on a behavior-based safety team. You could readily customize these questions to assess people s desire and readiness to serve on any safety team. Ask people to be frank and honest in their answers and do not imply any value to a high score. Then, those who score high on this survey are likely candidates for a particular safety team.

To achieve a Total Safety Culture, we need to integrate behavior-based and person-based psychology and effect large-scale culture changes. The five chapters in Section 3 explain principles and proce-dures founded cm behavioral research which can be applied successfully to change behaviors and attitudes throughcmt organizations and communities. This chapter describes the primary characteristics of the behavior-based approach to the prevention and treatment of human problems and shows their special relevance to occupational safety. The three basic ways we learn are reviewed and related to the development of safe vs. at-risk behaviors and attitudes. 

The basic method of distillation (ASTM D-86) is one of the oldest methods in use because the distillation characteristics of hydrocarbons have an important effect on safety and performance, especially in the case of fuels and solvents. The boiling range gives information on the composition, the properties, and the behavior of petroleum and derived products during storage and use. Volatility is the major determinant of the tendency of a hydrocarbon mixture to produce potentially explosive vapors. Several methods are available to define the distillation characteristics of petroleum and its various petroleum products. In addition to these physical methods, other test methods based on gas chromatography are also used to derive the boiling point distribution of a sample (ASTM D-2887, ASTM D-3710, ASTM D-5307, ASTM D-6352). 

Table 6-14 lists recommended indices of infant temperament for future studies of the safety of the addition of new ingredients to infant formulas. Based on available evidence, the committee strongly recommends using converging laboratory and parent report measures of temperament rather than just laboratory or just parent report measures. In addition, the committee recommends obtaining both mother and father reports for parent report measures (Wachs and Bates, 2001). Recommended parent report measures include the Infant Behavior Questionnaire or the Infant Characteristics Questionnaire. Either the LAB-TAB... 

If we use the semi-formal notation to describe requirements, it is useful to also use this for the same basis of the model description. Because ISO 26262 requires a verification after each step, systematic failure could be avoided and the consistency of the work steps and therefore also the work results would be supported. Since the model is also used as test reference according to ISO 26262, the model matures alongside the development process, if the product model continuously validated versus the increasing maturity of the development samples or prototypes. A model is often based on logical elements or function groups. They describe the structure, functional correlations of the elements or their technical behavior accordingly. Therefore, the architecture, the safety analysis and the model should widely have a common basis or refereeing to the safety relevant characteristics at least, they should be consistent. 

Abstract Multicomponent materials based on synthetic polymers were designed and used in a wide variety of common and hi-tech applications, including the outdoor applications as well. Therefore, their response to the UV radiation and complex weathering conditions (temperature, seasonal or freeze—thaw cycles, humidity, pH, pollutants, ozone, microorganisms) is a matter of utmost importance in terms of operational reliability and lifetime, protection of the environment and health safety. This chapter offers an overview of this subject and a critical assessment of more particular topics related to this issue. Thus, various types of multicomponent systems based on thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer matrices were subjected to natural and/or simulated UV radiation and/or weathering conditions. Their behavior was evaluated in correlation with their complex formulation and taking into consideration that the overall effect is a sum of the individual responses and interactions between components. The nature and type of the matrix, the nature, type and size distribution of the filler, the formation of the interphase and its characteristics, the interfacial adhesion and specific interfacial interactions, they all were considered as factors that influenced the materials behavior, and, at the same time, were used as classification criteria for this review.
