Taylor & Francis Ltd Managing Disaster Risks to Cultural Heritage
Book SynopsisManaging Disaster Risks to Cultural Heritage presents case studies from different regions in the world and establishes a framework for understanding, identifying, and analysing disaster risks to immovable cultural heritage. Featuring contributions from academics and practitioners from around the globe, the book presents a comprehensive view of the scholarship relating to cultural heritage, disaster risk preparedness, and post-disaster recovery. Particular attention is given to the complex and dynamic nature of disaster risks and how they evolve during different phases of a catastrophic event, especially as hazards can create secondary effects that have greater impacts on cultural heritage, infrastructure, and economy. Arguing that risk preparedness and mitigation have historically been secondary to reactive emergency and first aid response, the book demonstrates that preparedness plans based on sound risk assessments can prevent hazards from becoming disasters.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Preventing Workplace Incidents in Construction
Book SynopsisThe construction industry is vital to any national economy; it is also one of the industries most susceptible to workplace incidents. The unacceptably high rates of incidents in construction have huge socio-economic consequences for the victims, their families and friends, co-workers, employers and society at large. Construction safety researchers have introduced numerous strategies, models and tools through scientific inquiries involving primary data collection and analyses. While these efforts are commendable, there is a huge potential to create new knowledge and predictive models to improve construction safety by utilising already existing data about workplace incidents. In this new book, Imriyas Kamardeen argues that more sophisticated approaches need to be deployed to enable improved analyses of incident data sets and the extraction of more valuable insights, patterns and knowledge to prevent work injuries and illnesses.The book aims to apply data mining and analytic tecTable of ContentsPreface iAcknowledgements iiFigures iiiTables vAbbreviations vi Introduction Curtailing construction fatalities using analytics Reducing uncertainties in compensation for occupational diseases in construction using analytics Curbing psychological injuries in construction using analytics Predicting and preventing secondary psychological injuries in construction using analytics Conclusion Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Training and Assessing NonTechnical Skills
Book SynopsisProviding a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries, this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation, healthcare, rail, maritime, and other high-risk industries. Currently, each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes, particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However, there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin, O''Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training, and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skillTrade Review "Thomas’s book points out that in recent decades, though, that perception began to shift. And as that shift occurred, developing and assessing the art of doing something has become nearly as exact as measuring the science of doing it. In three sections, Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills explores this evolution, and shows how readers can take advantage of it on a day-to-day basis.Altogether, this combination of broad information and practical strategies makes Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills a valuable read, especially for those in high-risk industries that rely heavily on simulation-based training.

Taylor & Francis Inc Process Safety Management
Book SynopsisThe continued prevalence of major incidents (most recently the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill) and preponderance of workplace fatalities and injuries as well as Process Safety Management (PSM) Incidents, globally, begs the question: why do incidents continue to occur in today's technologically advanced era? More importantly, with 80-85 percent of incidents being repeated, the more obvious questions are: Why do organizations fail to learn from prior incidents internal to the business? Why do organizations fail to learn from their peers and other same industry players? Why do organizations fail to learn from the incidents and experiences of other industries?

Rowman & Littlefield Applied Statistics in Occupational Safety and
Book SynopsisThis completely updated fourth edition is designed to provide safety professionals or those studying to become safety professionals with the basic methods and principles necessary to apply statistics properly. Safety professionals often encounter statistics in the literature they read and are required to present findings or make decisions based on data analyses. Statistics can be used to justify the implementation of a program, identify areas that need to be addressed, or justify the impact that various safety programs have on losses and accidents. Safety professionals also use a variety of data in their day-to-day work.Applied Statistics in Occupational Safety and Health presents the reader with practical information to make their job easier. In addition to sample problems and solutions, the authors include easy-to-read charts and tables, appendices containing statistical tables, and a glossary of terms.
