Instruments and tools

Modern computer technology makes it feasible to use computer support also in cases where relatively small sets of data are handled. The selection of software is a key decision. This issue has already been discussed in 

Efforts should be made to simplify the form for the registration of accidents and near accidents as far as possible. It is an important principle that the design of the form shall not create a barrier towards the reporting and investigation of accidents and near accidents. Some of the data are fed directly into the computer and need not show up on the form for the supervisor s first report. No specific form is needed for the in-depth investigations. Checklists should be developed to support the investigations. There are also other tools to be considered such as checklists and record sheets for use in workplace inspections, risk analyses and SHE audits. 

Safety research has played a subordinated role in this knowledge buildup and transfer. We have seen that SHE management concepts receiving high acceptance such as ISRS are based to a large extent on research from the first part of the twentieth century. One of the author s ambitions with this book has been to support knowledge diffusion from recent research to practice. 

Future research into SHE information systems will need to integrate these two tracks of development. Learning organisations are dependent on prompt and correct feedback of results and access to information that its members find interesting. We need simple and verifiable theory and methods to support this development. Future research in the area has to be output-driven in order to take advantage of the principles from natural selection in generating effective solutions. It remains to be seen whether the end results will attract the attention of middle-sized and small company management.

Portable valve-regulated lead-acid cells can operate in any orientation without acid leakage and find use in many different applications, such as in electronic cash registers, alarm systems, emergency lighting unit equipment, telephone boxes, switching stations, minicomputers and terminals, electronically controlled petrol pumps, cordless television sets and portable instruments and tools.

When equipment maintenance is carried out within the dean area dean instruments and tools should be used, and the area should be deaned and disinfected where appropriate before processing recommences, if the required standards of deanliness and/or asepsis have not been maintained during the maintenance work. 

Because instruments and tools, etc., contaminated by the patients industrial chemicals are difficult to clean perfectly, it is handy to use disposable containers, syringes, stirrers or sticks to prepare test substances or dose them onto test chambers. Polypropylene is chemically inert and contains very few additional chemicals besides the polymer. If a liquid raw material dissolves plastic materials, glass containers should be used. Wooden stirrers and sticks may also be used. If the product is solid (in crystal or powder form), it can be pulverized using a mortar. 

In machine construction and instrument and tool manufacture, plain bearings, axle bearing guides, bushings, etc., are made by bonding, and punches are cemented into stamping tools with epoxy resins, cyanoacrylates, and acrylate adhesives. Screws, gear wheels, shafts, etc., are secured with anaerobic adhesives.

The major applications for flexible slab-stock polyurethane foams are furniture cushioning, both seating and backs seating in public transportation textile backing carpet backing for tufted carpeting and home carpet underlay. A considerable amount of flexible foam is used in packaging, particularly in semipermanent containment of instruments and tools.

The developments of people, organisation, routines, instruments and tools have to proceed in parallel. The selection of adequate computer software is a central issue. We will here recommend a strategy for the development of computer support that uses the company s standard PC software. There are also other possibilities. A common solution is to buy a proprietary SHE information system. Still another alternative is to develop new software to suit the company s specific needs by applying a software-engineering approach.
