Risk engineering

In the UK, an employee went Into the pit of a carding machine in a yarn factory. The machine was in operation and he went in to retrieve a fallen end. When his hand became trapped in the condenser, he was unable to be rescued until the time delay released the door lock. This was because he had shut the safety-interlocked door after him when entering.

The Project Manager should be responsible for handling and resolving recommendations. He may designate a person to handle the day to day activities for this function. Typically a risk engineering or loss prevention engineer is nominated for this task.

He is currently associated with the Occidental Petroleum Corporation as corporate-wide Risk Engineering Advisor, with previous roles as Facilities Engineering Advisor and Senior Fire Protection Engineer. He has also been associated with Lockheed, Marathon Oil and Boeing in various risk and safety roles. 

An effective tuberculosis control plan will include determination of exposure at regular intervals for all employees who are at occupational risk. Engineering and work practice controls are particularly important in laboratory areas, such as surgical pathology and microbiology. But there is clearly a risk of exposure from specimens of patients with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis in every section of the laboratory, including chemistry. 

Important information and feedback for risk engineering statistical information aids to determine which type of zirconia gas sensors to install in different applications and why. 

Many steels are susceptible to cracking during or after welding. Examples include high-strength carbon steels and low-alloy steels such as the air-hardenable Cr-Mo steels. Preheating the base metal or substrate reduces the risks. Engineering codes [4] usually contain preheat temperatures and procedures. 

Several computer-based risk scoring programs are available. One of them is the UKPDS Risk Engine (www.dtu.ox.ac.uk), which has been developed at Oxford University. It can be used to estimate the future risk of the type 2 diabetic patient to develop ischaemic heart disease or stroke. A CVD risk profile at annual intervals may be a useful tool for the repetitive motivating dialogues and prioritization of risk marker interventions.

These variables include control over error management, accident prevention techniques, hazard management, risk engineering, and corporate arrangements for employee consultation and reporting. 

Links between risk engineering and risk control... 

The link between risk control and risk engineering involves taking into account the control strategies used by management and the fact that if hazards are controlled then the risk associated is also reduced. 

Safety technology has a long history and is an important part of risk engineering. In the eighteenth century a competition was run for a chronometer which would operate accurately at sea so that longitude could be measured - essential for the safe operation of seagoing vessels. It was won ly a John Harrison.
