An accident stands for just one of several possible outcomes of man-machine interactions in hazardous situations. The kinds of near misses or conflict patterns where actual injuries are avoided are far more common. Incidents and conflicts can be used to gain sufficient and reliable information on the underlying accident conditions due to their increased likelihood as compared to the rare events of accidents themselves. The critical incident technique calls for the description of near misses in recently experienced work situations (Flanagan 1954). The traffic conflicts technique is an observation tool and samples different types of near accidents to identify unsafe technical conditions of the traffic location observed, types of unsafe behavior of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, as well as types of hazardous traffic regulations (Zimolong 1982, Erke Gstalter 1985). 

The pipelines wear and increase of their total length, complex natural-technical and social terms of operation of the most hazardous objects e g., nuclear and heating power plants, chemical and microbiological enterprises, air-space systems, hydro-technical installations, all types of traffic, etc. — here are the reasons of urgent necessity to use as much as possible the NDT and TD systems. 

Let s look at another example a small-scale voluntary cleanup that might take place in the lot behind a factory, or a tank being removed at a corner gas station. Although we have the same considerations, these projects are on a smaller scale and will create less of a hazardous condition. The same principles that exist at the large job still should be adhered to on the small job. The work zone should be delineated and controlled to protect workers or the public from entering the work zone. For the small job, caution tape, snow fence, or traffic cones can be used effectively. 

It should be obvious from this discussion that the technique of creating a hazard tree is somewhat subjective. Different evaluators will likely classify conditions and sources differently and may carry the analysis lo further levels of sources. However, the conclusions reached concerning building design, maintenance, layout of traffic patterns, lighting, ok., should be the same. The purpose of developing the hazard tree is to l ocus attention and help the evaluator identify all aspects that must be considered in reviewing overall levels of safety. 

The Department of Transportation is responsible for setting safety standards for rail, highway, air and water transportation and providing law enforcement and traffic management for airspace and waterways. Also regulates manufacturers of containers and transporters of hazardous materials. 

Acrylic resin systems developed in Germany are similar to polyester resins but, by careful formulation, the problems due to shrinkage have been largely overcome. The acrylic resin-based systems are currently based on highly flammable materials (flash point 10°C), which can present hazards during laying. However, there are systems available that can take foot traffic 2-3 hours after application and full service conditions within 24 hours, even at very low temperatures. 

The conveyance of LPG by road is also subject to control via a number of Regulations aimed at potentially hazardous substances. There are the Dangerous Substances (Conveyance by Road in Road Tankers and Tank Containers) Regulations 1981 and the Road Traffic (Carriage of Dangerous Substances in Packages, etc.) Regulations 1986. 

Forkdift drivers need to be skilled, experienced, and safetyconscious, since the misplacement of a pallet on a high stack can present a serious hazard. They work in well-insulated protective clothing and in short spells within a shift if the room is much below 0°C. Fork-lift trucks are available with enclosed, heated driver s cabs. Extra staff are required if the traffic is constant. Targe stores will have a wide loading platform outside at floor level to permit fork-lift trucks to manoeuvre their loads onto vehicles. 

StiU another check on safety should be made. Are exits readily accessible Is the safety shower easy to reach Are areas for handling hazardous materials properly segregated Are areas of potential hazards away from important traffic lanes ... 

Most mechanical hazards in the laboratory can be avoided by good planning. There must be no obstructions in traffic areas, particularly those needed for rapid evacuation in case of emergency. Wide hallways may look like good parking places for movable equipment not currently in use. They may also seem convenient for storage of reagents and supplies that temporarily...

People commonly ask, What they would expect when they call 911 notes Captain Nick Campasano. At least here in Manchester, I m familiar with what will happen. We will dispatch on the fire department side the closest engine company and our hazardous materials team. They will not be responding with lights and sirens. They will be driving with traffic, they will park in a discrete area, they will enter your facility with all of their... 

The general public and the local neighbors who might be exposed to hazardous substances that come over the plant fences in the air as vapors and aerosols, spilled on the ground in traffic accidents, discharged into the water supply, and disposed of as solid wastes. The environment represents a collection of concerns... 

Outdoor Air Pollution. Applications include monitoring neighborhoods near a small local source municipal incinerators photochemical smog episodes and their impact on outdoor athletics and recreation urban traffic congestion and dust resuspension from hazardous wastes.
