Nuclear Radioactive Materials in the Oil and Gas Industry comprehensively discusses the TENORMs generated from various types of oil and gas processes and their associated adverse human health effects, effective TENORM waste management strategies, and the quantitative risk analysis. The book thoroughly investigates current knowledge, addressing the three main gaps identified in available studies: 1) Exposure to radioactivity, 2) High volume waste as a source of radiation exposure, and 3) A lack of uniform, international safety regulations. This book offers researchers, scientists and graduate and undergraduate students a comprehensive and well-researched reference that covers fundamental concepts, problem identification and solutions development. It is an ideal, comprehensive guideline for professionals involved in the oil and gas and nuclear industries who are concerned about radiological issues.

From implementation in the classroom to building security, technology has permeated all aspects of education throughout the United States. Though hardware has been developed to identify and prevent weaponry from entering a school, including video cameras, entry control devices, and weapon detectors, school safety remains a fundamental concern with the recent increase of school violence and emergence of cyberbullying. Professionals need answers on how to use this technology to protect the physical, emotional, and social wellbeing of all children. Leveraging Technology to Improve School Safety and Student Wellbeing is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of technology in P-12 school safety and its use to foster an environment where students can feel safe and be academically successful. The book will comprise empirical, conceptual, and practical applications that craft an overall understanding of the issues in creating a ""safe"" learning environment and the role technology can and should play; where a student's wellbeing is valued and protected from external and internal entities, equitable access is treasured as a means for facilitating the growth of the whole student, and policy, practices, and procedures are implemented to build a foundation to transform the culture and climate of the school into an inclusive nurturing environment. While highlighting topics such as professional development, digital citizenship, and community infrastructure, this publication is ideally designed for educators, scholars, leadership practitioners, coordinators, policymakers, government officials, law enforcement, security professionals, IT consultants, parents, academicians, researchers, and students.

Zero to Culture: A Step by Step Guide to Implementing an Employee-Oriented Safety Management System equips students with the knowledge and leadership skills required to effectively build, maintain, and model a culture of safety within a business or organization. The book guides readers through each step of the implementation process to ensure a well-constructed system and maximum impact. The book begins with a chapter that explains the vital role of leadership in establishing safety culture. Later chapters explore how to structure a safety management system, conduct a hazard inventory, and construct a three-tiered hazard recognition program. Students learn about emergency planning, prevention, and response, as well as how to build an investigations initiative. Dedicated chapters address behavior-based and human factors initiatives, and the book concludes with a section that explains how to ensure a safety program meets ISO 45001 standards. Complete in scope and highly accessible, Zero to Culture is well suited for any course that prepares future safety professionals to construct cultures of safety in a variety of work-related settings.

Highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of probabilistic risk and hazard assessment procedures. Topics covered include: Hazard scenario analyses (e.g. HAZOP, FMEA); probabilistic risk assessments; consequence modelling; structural reliability; human error; uncertainty analyses; and risk assessment. Topics are related to the design, construction & operation of chemical & process plants; nuclear facilities; bridges & buildings; offshore structures & dams

This book is a guidebook for the health and safety of workers and will help to prevent workplace accidents. It covers five sections of work environments with dangerous hazards and high health risk. Every chapter has been expanded to include knowledge and skills to promote and maintain safety and health in a work environment, and these chapters analyse the duties of employers and employees. Risk factors in relation to safety in specific workplaces and issues concerning contamination prevention and control are investigated, and hazards and risks when workers are using equipment or handling hazardous materials and waste are examined. This book includes multiple points of interest for businesses and industries with potentially harmful work environments: Welding works Municipalitys waste collection Working in modern workshops Working on sea vessels Working on offshore wind farms Hazards in welding environments are analyzed and steps to minimizing health and safety risks in welding operations are put forward. Concerning municipality waste collection, this book gives an overview of waste, waste management processes, and research concerning health hazards, illnesses and injuries. As machine tools pose multiple hazards, this book studies requirements for a safe workshop, along with the equipment requirements and their possible hazards, inspection and service procedures. Accidents at sea are still a common occurrence, but significant progress has been made in recent decades and all involved stakeholders enact accident avoidance and mitigation measures in accordance with current norms and legislation. This additional effort was made to present the duties and responsibilities from seafarers up to ship owner and the best practices proposed to conduct successful sea operations without damage or loss. Finally, this guidance presents risks and hazards on health, safety and environmental parameters that inform about the procedures and standards that are applied in the offshore wind industry.
