Electrical safety incidents and injuries can be the result of inappropriate work behavior or what is referred to as “unsafe acts.” This occurs even though training and education have been provided on the electrical hazards and the possible consequences. Providing training to people is not enough to motivate them to follow the procedures. When unsupervised, those people who are aware of the hazards...
The objective of this study is to examine why and how operators usually achieve a normal operational level. The author focuses on Threat and Error Management (TEM) in aviation as a key concept for finding an answer. Following this approach, the author conducted a participant observation of railway drivers and explored the above-stated question with reference to some of the behaviour he observed. The...
This article discusses the status of the sustainability strategy of private enterprises in China, one is not setting up sustainable development strategy, and the other is the private enterprise internal mechanism is not perfect, resulting in a vicious competition; finds out the three element that impacts the sustainable development strategies of private enterprises: First, private enterprises are...
This article discusses the necessity, implementation methods and effectiveness of the performance management in the private enterprises. The main propositions are: analysis of the status and disadvantage of performance management in the private enterprises, performance management's objective is to achieve a win-win with the employees, to combine the performance management with the long-term strategic...
Service value is successfully created when customers enjoy the benefits of services provided through the channels of a service system. This paper is focused on the process of value creation in the service industry by focusing on the shift of service value created in actual service enterprises. The proposed model for describing this shift visualizes the shift of service value, composed of the "place...
When considering the issue of electrical safety in product and system design, it is critical to use a well defined design process that complies with the legal standards. Engineers need not be lawyers but they do need to understand how the law views the process of engineering design. For any product or system that brings electrical energy into close proximity with human users, the risk of electrical...
Pre-evacuation time is a critical phase in evacuation process. This phase takes a big part of total evacuation time, but by simplifying this process has made some computer simulation are far away from reality. A cognitive behavior model as a representation of the occupant responses and actions against emergency notification has built in our computer simulation. A survey in order to get some responses...
The nature of the responsibility that engineers bear for producing safe designs is outlined. and some ideas about evaluating safety levels are discussed. It is suggested that engineering schools introduce these ideas through courses on engineering ethics or technology and society. presentations made at apropriate points in regular technical courses, occasional colloquia, and brief statements made...
