The eighth edition of this popular handbook provides a thorough and
completely updated overview of the occupational safety and health
field and the issues safety professionals face today, and does so
in an accessible and engaging manner. An excellent introductory
reference for both students and professionals, Fundamentals of
Occupational Safety and Health provides practical information on
technology, management, and regulatory compliance issues, covering
crucial topics like organizing, staffing, directing, and evaluating
occupational safety programs and procedures. All major occupational
safety and health topics are addressed in this comprehensive
volume, including safety-related laws and regulations, hazardous
materials, workplace violence, the threat of terrorism, and OSHA's
recordkeeping standard. The book includes a handy directory of
resources such as safety and health associations, First Responder
organizations, and state and federal agencies. The eighth edition
of this go-to reference work provides an easily comprehensible and
well-organized format, giving readers a wealth of occupational
safety and health information right at their fingertips.
The purpose of this research is to improve combat target
identification (CID) of targets using synthetic aperture radar
data. In a forced decision scenario, all unknown objects are given
a target class label. In this research, instead of forcing a
decision, objects are labeled out-of-library (OOL) if they are
unlike any objects used to train the classifier. Objects similar to
more than one object, represented in the library of known objects,
are given a non-declaration (NDEC) designation. This research
develops a new method to identify OOL records based on squared
Mahalanobis distance and NDEC methods based on information theory.
A significant challenge of this research is the requirement that
the methods function well in operating conditions the classifier
was not designed for i.e. extended operating conditions. The
potential benefits of context based modifications of OOL and NDEC
criterion are demonstrated with an experimental design.
Additionally, the utility of the OOL and NDEC methodologies are
demonstrated through experimental design. In these experiments, a
mathematical framework is used to choose the optimal classifier
parameters and methodologies. The framework optimization is
constrained consistent with war fighter preferences.
Safety Management Systems: Applications for the Aviation Industry
provides an in-depth review of specific applications of an
aviation-related Safety Management System (SMS) by following it
from design through application. Readers will gain an understanding
on SMS and how it related to their daily activities. Also, specific
information will be provided on the rotocraft industry, due to
variations in the challenges it faces.
Planning and Managing the Safety System addresses new regulations
and practices to help you achieve safety and health management
success. Emphasizing the reduction of costs through cost/benefit
analysis, this book covers practical material and real-world
examples of common exercises, including safety measurement and
benchmarking, economic design analysis, total quality management
and planning, budgeting, and using audits and safety committees
effectively. This book takes a systematic approach to designing,
implementing, and operating a comprehensive safety management
system as part of the overall management of an organization. The
emphasis will be on integrating safety into the system and
effective planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of the
system. Major components of an effective safety system and how each
operates will be addressed. * The text provides a comprehensive
approach to designing, implementing, and operating a safety
management system. * It will consider both historical and current
(ANSI, ICAO, FAA) approaches to SMS. * It integrates the knowledge
of experts into the current state of safety management. * And it
will provide a comprehensive look at SMS by considering all major
management components as they relate to the design, implementation,
and operation of a complete safety system.
