To plan, build, monitor, maintain, and dispose of products and
assets properly, maintenance and safety requirements must be
implemented and followed. A lack of maintenance and safety
protocols leads to accidents and environmental disasters as well as
unexpected downtime that costs businesses money and time. With the
arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and evolving
technological tools, it is imperative that safety and maintenance
practices be reexamined. Applications and Challenges of Maintenance
and Safety Engineering in Industry 4.0 is a collection of
innovative research that addresses safety and design for
maintenance and reducing the factors that influence and degrade
human performance and that provides technological advancements and
emergent technologies that reduce the dependence on operator
capabilities. Highlighting a wide range of topics including
management analytics, internet of things (IoT), and maintenance,
this book is ideally designed for engineers, software designers,
technology developers, managers, safety officials, researchers,
academicians, and students.
This health impact assessment framework serves as a guide to manage
health risks and impacts in economic zones of the Greater Mekong
Subregion and address transboundary issues associated with human
migration. Across the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), there are
over 500 special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial zones located
near GMS economic corridors and covering over 50 million people.
This proposed health impact assessment (HIA) framework recognizes
these SEZs and economic corridors as economic engines of the
subregion and aims to maximize benefits for all. The framework aims
to provide enhanced guidance for identifying, mitigating, and
managing health risks and impacts of unprecedented industrial and
economic development in these SEZs, and seeks to address
transboundary health issues associated with mobile and migrant
worker populations. It proposes HIA as an effective SEZ management
support tool to achieve optimum benefits for businesses and
associated communities alike.
