Introduction to Risk and Failures
Consumers and Nanotechnology
Tools and Methodologies
Deliberative Processes and Methodologies
D. H. Stamatis
Eivind Soto, Pal Strandbakken, and Gerd Scholl
President of Contemporary Consultants, Michigan, USA
Risk is everywhere, in everything we do. Realizing this fact, we all must try to understand this “risk” and if possible to minimize it. This book expands the conversation beyond failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) techniques. While FMEA is indeed a powerful tool to forecast failures for both design and processes, it is missing methods for considering safety issues, catastrophic events, and their consequences. This new book focuses on risk and HAZOP as they relate to major catastrophic events, safety, and risk.
In recent years, questions about democratic influence on science and technology have received much attention. A number of political bodies have started to involve citizens and to consider their concerns, attitudes, hopes, and worries in the early stages of the coming nano revolution. This volume assembles the contributions of experts who analyze a number of these deliberations, mainly in the European Union and the United States. The book analyzes citizen-oriented deliberations along with more stakeholder-oriented deliberations.

Occupational Safety Changing the Workplace Safety Culture
Crisis Management and Emergency Planning
Ron C. McKinnon
Preparing for Today’s Challenges
McKinnon & Associates, Western Cape, South Africa
The only way to ensure that accidents and their consequences are tackled at the source is to identify and eliminate the workplace risks before, rather than after the event.

Occupational Safety Safety Management Near Miss Identification, Recognition, and Investigation
Radiation Injury Prevention and Mitigation in Humans Kedar N. Prasad
Ron C. McKinnon
Premier Micronutrient Corporation, Novato, California, USA
McKinnon & Associates, Western Cape, South Africa
Nuclear bomb explosions by terrorists as well as unintentional nuclear disasters remain possibilities as long as nations around the world have nuclear arsenals. At present, there are no strategies to provide biological protection before and/or after radiation exposure. This book identifies and examines nontoxic and cost-effective agents that could be effective in preventing and mitigating acute radiation damage before and after exposure. It discusses physical and biological protection strategies for first responders at risk.
Identification and investigation of “near-miss” incidents can be the difference between avoiding and suffering an accident. This book provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop a “near-miss” incident program in the workplace to isolate and eliminate root causes, heal systemic weaknesses, and implement safety management systems before an accident occurs. Focusing on the successes of safety systems at two copper mines, numerous diverse industries, and an aluminum smelter, it includes examples and case studies to clarify the investigative philosophy and preventive application of “near-miss” incidents.

Human Factors & Ergonomic Safety Safety Differently
Textbook
Human Factors for a New Era, Second Edition
G. Keith Still
Sidney Dekker Griffith University, Nathan Campus, Australia
Introduction to Crowd Science Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
The previous edition looked critically at the answers human factors would typically provide and compared/contrasted them with current research and insights at that time. Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. This book explains how to turn safety from a bureaucratic accountability back into an ethical responsibility for those who do our dangerous work and how to embrace the human factor not as a problem to control, but as a solution to harness.
This well-grounded and practical guide highlights the underlying causes of crowd disasters and mass fatalities— giving readers insight into the root causes of crowd-related accidents. It presents a clearer understanding of crowd dynamics and provides the reader with fundamental modeling techniques to plan and manage and improve crowd safety in places of public assembly. The book is written for students and professionals in a number of areas such as event planning, licensing/approval, and event operation, including emergency services.

Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris, France
We tend to blame and forget those professionals who cause incidents and accidents, but they are victims too. They are second victims whose experiences of an incident or adverse event can be as traumatic as that of the first victims. This book goes through what we know about trauma, guilt, forgiveness, and injustice and how these might be felt by the second victim. It discusses how to conduct investigations of incidents that do not alienate second victims or make them feel even worse.
The goal for ergonomics has always been to adapt work, work environments, and machines to man. But is this goal still sufficient? Does it satisfy the needs of the individual or of societies and organizations as they operate now? This book answers these questions. The goals of ergonomics should be the development of individuals, work situations, and construct know-how competences. This book proposes a new view on ergonomics where the goal of ergonomics is to eliminate the factors and conditions that impede performance and development.
