Underground systems are becoming increasingly popular for business activities, transportation systems, and storage purposes. Safety planning for underground systems calls for an integrated approach which considers the interests of many parties, the dynamics of different activities, and the potential threats posed by hazardous materials. A visual interactive modeling approach is presented which helps organizations to derive a safety concept for underground systems. The modeling approach emphasizes procedural aspects of dealing with multiple parties, as well as conceptual and analytic aspects of assessing risks and defining safety goals. The paper summarizes the framework for developing a safety concept for underground systems which was developed for the Dutch Ministry of the Interior. A hypothetical example is discussed to illustrate the theoretical constructs.
This paper considers the application of one of the weighted risk indicators used by the Major Hazards Assessment Unit (MHAU) of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in formulating advice to local planning authorities on the siting of new major accident hazard installations. In such cases the primary consideration is to ensure that the proposed installation would not be incompatible with existing developments in the vicinity, as identified by the categorisation of the existing developments and the estimation of individual risk values at those developments. In addition a simple methodology, described here, based on MHAU's "Risk Integral" and a single "worst case" even analysis, is used to enable the societal risk aspects of the hazardous installation to be considered at an early stage of the proposal, and to determine the degree of analysis that will be necessary to enable HSE to give appropriate advice.
The modern OR was a vital addition to aseptic technique and essential to the development of invasive surgery, and many people do not realize that it needed to be "invented." Gustav Neuber, William S. Halsted, Charles McBurney, and others pioneered the necessary changes in practices and the environment to protect the patient from infection. This article presents the history behind the evolvement of the modern OR and discusses changes in the structures of some facilities as awareness increased about the principles of asepsis.
