Levels of safety management

The realization of distributional mine ventilation monitoring and management system based on wireless intelligent anemometer will help to achieve real-time monitoring airflow of mine s critical areas. The system can also realize the supervision of airflow inspection technician s underground work, and will effectively improve the level of safety management of mine ventilation. 

On the contrary, if the managers take measures to reduce unsafe behavior and unsafe condition, it will lower accident rates. The managers can put the energy and resources into equipment of intrinsically safe and employee safety quality improvement. It will further enhance the enterprise the overall level of safety management. Thus, it can come to the managers of safety cognitive mode (see fig 3). 

In other words, you can establish a level of safety management that the average person would consider reasonable and responsible. 

Safely management has a positive effect on the performance of safety, competitiveness and economic finance (Femandez-Muniz et al. 2009). Many companies strive to maintain a high level of safety management, because they see it as a necessary competitive advantage. Business targets should be used to guide the company s safety efforts because they are a key factor for competitiveness, but also an important part of quality in business (Lanne 2007). 

A senior management safety policy and support team was set up to provide support for the safety committees. This was only partially successful because it became too involved in detail and simply created another level of safety management. 

If the motor carrier has had at least three roadside inspections in the twelve months before the safety audit, and the vehicle OOS rate is 34 percent or higher, one point will be assessed against the carrier. That point will be added to any other points assessed tor discovered noncompliance with acute and critical regulations of part 396 of this chapter to determine the carrier s level of safety management control for that factor. 

The various lines of defense that have been ineorporated into the design and operation of the proeess to prevent or mitigate the release of hazardous ehemieals need to be evaluated and strengthened to ensure their effeetiveness at eaeh level. Proeess safety management is the proaetive identifieation, evaluation and mitigation, or prevention of ehemieal... 

Supervisor safety training applies to all levels of Dow management and is tailored to the individual s responsibility. For example, a manager with global responsibilities for reactive chemical products which are new to him may be required to conduct a reactive chemicals review for the products and then pass a written examination. 

Besides this quantitative problem (which may seem a luxury problem to many other industries) the very idea of focusing on just the negative outcomes of process control deviations neglects the valuable lessons to be learned on the basis of positive outcomes. Every time an operator, manager, procedure, or piece of equipment behaves in an unexpected way and thereby prevents a likely breakdown of the production system (e.g. as in reduced product quality, environmental releases, etc.) or restores the required levels of safety and reliability, these positive deviations could be detected, reported and analysed in order to improve the qualitative insight into system functioning on the whole. 

The HAZOP technique can be used to identity human error potential. From a practical point of view, human error and its consequences can occur at all levels of a management structure as well as in the operation of a particular plant or process. Carried out correctly, Technica54 states that a HAZOP study will identify at least 70-75 percent of potential operational and safety problems associated with a particular design process, including human error. 

Note 1 Refer to Management of Change procedures, level of safety review determined by magnitude of change to process (Ref. Section 6.3). 

Before the review actually starts, the team leader and scribe should identify, highlight and list the nodes that will be selected for the review. The team leader should confirm the selection with the project manager before the review begins. These nodes may be modified during the review process, but a baseline and estimate for the review may be prepared from the listing. Preliminary node identification can be entered into the software worksheets by the scribe and also used in the review reports (ref. section 9.1). The level of resolution of the nodes depends on the level of safety review that is desired. 

A technical-based approach follows the view that risks should be reduced to achieve an adequate level of safety, but does not require a socio-economic analysis of alternative risk management options. Standards are set according to available technology to ensure that certain margins of safety are not exceeded. A risk-benefit approach bases decisions on the results of socio-economic and stakeholder consultation. 

When levels of safety for risk management measures do not adequately cover variations in the use of assessment factors or differences in anticipated exposure levels in risk assessment data (see also [477])... 

RADWASS has been organized in a hierarchical structure of four levels of safety documents. The top-level publication is a document of safety fundamentals which provides the basic safety objectives and fundamental principles to be followed in national waste management programmes. The lower levels include safety standards, safety guides, and safety practice documents. The series has been structured in a logical and clear manner to reflect the systems approach to waste management. 

Once the corporate management system is complete, the basehne activities of all hazardous material trarrsportation operatiorrs will be compared across all regiorrs to errsrrre the same basehne level of safety and secmity, including ... 

If exiting employees are not voicing safety concerns, then the organization may not have the necessary knowledge required to prompt corrective action, and the new employee (even those with realistic expectations of the normal safety risk profile for the job type) may be about to enter a job with an unacceptable level of safety risk (beyond those normally associated with the type of work). Thus, new employee safety will be enhanced if a workplace has a safety voicing culture, where employees freely share safety information, and this is supported and reinforced by both management and co-workers. In contrast, a new employee that enters a workplace which has a silence culture, or has employees that want to voice about safety but feel they cannot for some reason, can be exposed to more safety risk than is necessary. 

In conclusion, the degree of market-based refined safety management within a coalmine enterprise has a direct ratio with the level of safety, and also relates to the benefit of an enterprise and divisions. At the beginning of market-based refined...
