Full textAbstract:
Biological emergency response planning plays a critical role in protecting the public from possible devastating results of sudden disease outbreaks. These plans describe the distribution of medical countermeasures across a region using limited resources within a restricted time window. Thus, the ability to determine that such a plan will be feasible, i.e. successfully provide service to affected populations within the time limit, is crucial. Many of the current efforts to validate plans are in the form of live drills and training, but those may not test plan activation at the appropriate scale or with sufficient numbers of participants. Thus, this necessitates the use of computational resources to aid emergency managers and planners in developing and evaluating plans before they must be used. Current emergency response plan generation software packages such as RE-PLAN or RealOpt, provide rate-based validation analyses. However, these types of analysis may neglect details of real-world traffic dynamics. Therefore, this dissertation presents Validating Emergency Response Plan Execution Through Simulation (VERPETS), a novel, computational system for the agent-based simulation of biological emergency response plan activation. This system converts raw road network, population distribution, and emergency response plan data into a format suitable for simulation, and then performs these simulations using SUMO, or Simulations of Urban Mobility, to simulate realistic traffic dynamics. Additionally, high performance computing methodologies were utilized to decrease agent load on simulations and improve performance. Further strategies, such as use of agent scaling and a time limit on simulation execution, were also examined. Experimental results indicate that the time to plan completion, i.e. the time when all individuals of the population have received medication, determined by VERPETS aligned well with current alternate methodologies. It was determined that the dynamic of traffic congestion at the POD itself was one of the major factors affecting the completion time of the plan, and thus allowed for more rapid calculations of plan completion time. Thus, this system provides not only a novel methodology to validate emergency response plans, but also a validation of other current strategies of emergency response plan validation.

Andersen, Sharri Suesette. "Assessment of Detroit Hospital Preparedness for Response to an Improvised Nuclear Attack." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2634.
Full textAbstract:
An improvised nuclear device (IND) is considered by the DHS to be the most catastrophic terrorist incident that could befall the United States, causing severe economic damage, extensive property damage, and enormous loss of life. Effective response to an IND is best accomplished with preparation including emergency operations plans (EOP) specific to an IND and training for staff on how to respond. The literature documents several areas of weakness in U.S. health services' preparation that affects entire communities and puts lives at risk. The purpose of this study was to assess the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in Detroit, Michigan hospitals' EOP for responding to an IND terrorist attack. The conceptual framework used systems theory to look at how an event's complex individual components work as parts of a larger whole. Specifically, the interconnections that the individual parts of an event have on the outcome were assessed as means of evaluating the IND EOP that Detroit area hospitals have in place. This qualitative study consisted of an interview approach with the emergency management representatives of Detroit hospitals responsible for EOP development. Data analysis was completed using categorization based on research questions to look for commonalities and trends. This study revealed gaps that the 5 participating Detroit hospitals have in their preparation, training, and staff knowledge in response to an IND. Implications for positive social change, at local and national levels, include creation and dissemination of an improved model for disaster planning and training in the hospital setting, which correlates to improved community response and community care for health service organizations and throughout health services as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Ruapehu is an active volcano located on the North Island of New Zealand, with the most recent major eruptions occurring in 1945, 1969, 1975, and 1995/96. Ruapehu is also home to the three major North Island ski areas, Whakapapa, Turoa, and Tukino. Because of the high frequency of eruptions, there is a significant volcanic hazard at the ski areas particularly from lahars which can form even after minor eruptions. Most recently, lahars have affected Whakapapa ski area in 1969, 1975, and 1995/96. The most significant risk at Turoa is from ballistic bombs due to the proximity of the top two T-Bars to the crater. Ash fall has also caused disruption at the ski areas, covering the snow and causing damage to structures. There is yet to be a death at the ski areas from a volcanic event; however the risk at the ski areas is too high to be completely ignored. The ski areas at Whakapapa and Turoa are currently operated by Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (RAL), who have been significantly improving their commitment to providing volcanic hazard training for their staff and preparing for handling a volcanic eruption. RAL is joined by the Institute of Geological Sciences (GNS) and the Department of Conservation (DoC) in trying to mitigate this risk through a range of initiatives, including an automated Eruption Detection System (EDS), linked to sirens and loudspeakers on Whakapapa ski areas, as well as by providing staff training and public education. The aim of this study was to provide RAL with recommendations to improve their staff training and warning system response. Staff induction week at both Turoa and Whakapapa ski areas was observed. Surveys were distributed and collected from staff at both ski areas, and interviews were conducted with staff at Whakapapa ski area. Data obtained from staff interviews and surveys provided the author with insight into staff's mental models regarding a volcanic event response. A simulation of the warning system was observed, as well as a blind test, to collect data on the effectiveness of training on staff response. Results indicated permanent and seasonal staff were knowledgeable of the volcanic hazards that may affect the ski areas, but had differing perspectives on the risk associated with those hazards. They were found to be confident in the initial response to a volcanic event (i.e. move to higher ground), but were unsure of what would happen after this initial response. RAL was also found to have greatly improved their volcanic hazard training in the past year, however further recommendations were suggested to increase training effectiveness. A training needs analysis was done for different departments at the ski areas by taking a new approach of anticipating demands staff may encounter during a volcanic event and complementing these demands with existing staff competencies. Additional recommendations were made to assist RAL in developing an effective plan to use when responding to volcanic events, as well as other changes that could be made to improve the likelihood of customer safety at the ski areas during an eruption.

Full textAbstract:
The presence of naturally occurring and man-made public health threats necessitate the design and implementation of mitigation strategies, such that adequate response is provided in a timely manner. Since multiple variables, such as geographic properties, resource constraints, and government mandated time-frames must be accounted for, computational methods provide the necessary tools to develop contingency response plans while respecting underlying data and assumptions. A typical response scenario involves the placement of points of dispensing (PODs) in the affected geographic region to supply vaccines or medications to the general public. Computational tools aid in the analysis of such response plans, as well as in the strategic placement of PODs, such that feasible response scenarios can be developed. Due to the sensitivity of bio-emergency response plans, geographic information, such as POD locations, must be kept confidential. The generation of synthetic geographic regions allows for the development of emergency response plans on non-sensitive data, as well as for the study of the effects of single geographic parameters. Further, synthetic representations of geographic regions allow for results to be published and evaluated by the scientific community. This dissertation presents methodology for the analysis of bio-emergency response plans, methods for plan optimization, as well as methodology for the generation of synthetic geographic regions.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche vise à développer une méthode pour l'analyse de la robustesse des plans de secours industriels. Des défaillances peuvent survenir lors de la mise en œuvre de ces plans, qui peuvent entrainer à un fonctionnement en mode dégradé des dispositifs. Les approches existantes d’analyse de ces plans ne permettent pas une analyse structurée du dispositif de gestion de crise. La méthodologie proposée dans le cadre de ce travail repose sur une formalisation structuro-fonctionnelle et générique des plans de secours industriels, décrivant à la fois les fonctions et les ressources permettant la réalisation de ces fonctions. De plus, ce travail s’est accompagné de retours d’expérience à partir de 159 rapports d’accidents et de 61 exercices POI/PPI, qui ont permis d’identifier des défaillances pouvant survenir lors de la mise en œuvre des POI/PPI. Le modèle développé et les informations obtenues par le retour d’expérience permettent de structurer l’analyse des dysfonctionnements pouvant se manifester lors de la mise en œuvre des plans. Cette analyse de la robustesse est basée sur une évaluation du risque de défaillance des fonctions du plan. La probabilité de défaillance est estimée à partir des questions d’évaluation et des arbres de défaillances des ressources et des fonctions. La gravité de la défaillance de chaque fonction est déterminée en utilisant les études de dangers de l’installation, en suivant la règle des dommages maximum qu’elle peut provoquer. La criticité de défaillance de chaque fonction est ainsi obtenue, et la criticité du plan résulte de l'agrégation des criticités de ses fonctions. Cette méthodologie constitue ainsi une boite à outils qui peut être utilisée à la fois pour l’évaluation des plans existants, mais aussi pour l’élaboration du dispositif défini dans un plan de secours industrielThe objective of this research thesis is to develop a methodology for the analysis of robustness of industrial emergency plans. Failures can occur when these plans are put into action; they can result to deteriorated operating conditions for these systems. Existing emergency plan analysis approaches do not allow for a structured analysis of the emergency response mechanism. The methodology developed in this research project is based on a structuro-functional and generic formalization of industrial emergency plans, which describes both the functions of the plans and the resources necessary for accomplishing them. Furthermore, lessons learned through the analysis of 159 industrial accidents and 61 internal and external industrial emergency plan exercises have led to the identification of failures that may occur during the use of industrial emergency plans for emergency response. The model that was developed and the information obtained through experience feedback result in a structured analysis of failures of these plans. This robustness analysis is based on the failure risk assessment of the plan’s functions. The failure probability is estimated through assessment questions and the plan’s functions and resources fault trees. The failure severity of each function is determined by using the facility’s hazard study and by applying the maximum damage rule. The failure criticality of each function is hence obtained, and the plan’s criticality results from the aggregation of the criticalities of the plan’s functions. The approach followed is hence based on a failure risk analysis, which in turn is built upon lessons learned and the critical analysis of the plan’s model. This methodology therefore constitutes a toolbox that can be used both for the analysis of existing plans and the development of emergency response mechanism

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedCHDS State/Local
Through the maturation of the national network of fusion centers, processes and capabilities originally designed to detect and thwart terrorist attacks are now applied to disaster responses. The fusion process, which involves the synthesis and analysis of streams of data, can create incident specific intelligence. The sharing of this information can enhance the operating picture that is critical to key decision makers and the discipline of emergency management. This thesis examined three case studies of fusion center disaster responses through a collaborative-based analytical framework. The resulting analysis of the case studies identified the crucial role played by fusion centers in responding to disaster events in a collaborative effort with emergency operations centers. This thesis concludes that fusion centers offer the greatest impact through enabling information sharing throughout the response phase. The specific benefits of the sharing of information directly influence executive briefings and the deployment of resources. This thesis also modeled a collaborative response. The research determined that the depth and breadth of these relationships involving cooperative responses must be proportionate to the incident and include a level of redundancy. Through a system design model, overconnectivity through efficiency was shown to increase the likelihood of fracturing cooperative relationships.

Full textAbstract:
L’augmentation de la fréquence et de l’intensité des événements de grande ampleur est unanime. En France, l’État impose à l’échelle communale, de se préparer à de tels événements en établissant un Plan Communal de Sauvegarde. Cependant les instances décisionnaires à ce niveau ne disposent pas d’outils leurs permettant au préalable de connaitre la capacité de fonctionnement de leur organisation. Ces travaux de recherche proposent une méthode d’évaluation a priori de l’organisation locale d’urgence pour permettre aux instances décisionnaires, d’identifier des points vulnérables dans leur organisation et ainsi leur fournir une aide à la décision. Cette méthode d’évaluation repose sur le formalisme d’une méthode de modélisation établie, permettant d’une part d’appréhender la complexité des éléments mis en jeux dans l’organisation de gestion d’événements et d’autre part sert de base pour les mécanismes d’évaluation. Ces derniers sont quant à eux supportés par le formalisme des arbres de défaillance. Cependant, ce formalisme est limitant, car il ne propose qu’une évaluation de la défaillance à deux états discrets (complètement nulle ou complètement avérée). C’est pourquoi, ces travaux se sont intéressés à la conception d’une méthode d’évaluation à base d’arbre de défaillance multi-États. Cela se traduit par une nouvelle définition des événements et des portes pour les arbres utilisés dans la méthode de modélisation retenue. Un questionnaire a été créé pour collecter auprès des gestionnaires, les informations sur les états de défaillance. Les résultats de l’évaluation sont présentés sous forme de tableaux de bord et permettent ainsi de guider le choix des actions d’améliorationThe increase in frequency and intensity of major disasters make a consensus. In France, the state imposes to local administrations to be prepared to face such events by describing their local organizations in a Local Emergency Response Plan (LERP). However, there are no existing tools for decision-Makers at this authority scale to a priori assess functioning capacity of the organization described in their plans. This research work proposes an a priori assessment method of Local Emergency Response Plans, to allow local authorities to identify organizational vulnerabilities of their plans, and thus giving to them an aid to decision-Making. This assessment method is laid on an established formalism of modelling methods. This allows, in one hand, to catch the complexity of elements’ stakes in emergency management and in another hand to lay assessment mechanisms for this one. These mechanisms are supported by Fault-Tree formalism. However, this is restricting because the failure of modelled elements can only be assessed on two discrete levels: complete functioning or complete dysfunctioning. This is why this work aims to build an assessment method based on Multi-Level Fault-Tree. This means that new gates have to be described according to the assessed object (LERP). Furthermore, modelled elements have to be improved to take into account Multi-Level considerations in the chosen modelling method. According to that, a questionnaire has been developed to collect information from local authorities about failure states of modelled elements. The results of this assessment are presented in a dashboard format. The purpose is first, to guide local authorities by having a quick overview of the overall organization system represented in the LERP. Secondly, it helps them to plan the vulnerabilities reductions in a management program

O desenvolvimento tecnológico inerente às sociedades ditas modernas tem cada vez mais colocado o ser humano frente a situações de escolha entre uma ampla variedade de riscos possíveis. Como forma de proteger as pessoas e o meio ambiente, ações precisam ser desenvolvidas com o propósito de mitigar eventuais consequências da materialização desses riscos. A geração termonuclear de energia elétrica demanda planejamento com o intuito de preparar respostas a eventuais situações de emergência, pois mesmo sendo considerada de baixa probabilidade de ocorrência, quando acontecem, apresentam impacto significativo para as populações e regiões do seu entorno. Considerando a relevância desse tema, esta tese teve o propósito de identificar e analisar a dinâmica da preparação e resposta às situações de emergência em uma Central Nuclear. Buscou-se entender a sua evolução ao longo do tempo e sistematizá-la, levando em conta os atores envolvidos e os processos de aprendizagem organizacional, inovação e comunicação de risco, considerados de fundamental importância para o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento de planos de emergência. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo de caso sobre a dinâmica evolutiva do Plano de Emergência da Central Nuclear Almirante Álvaro Alberto – CNAAA. Sobre a preparação e resposta às eventuais situações de emergência nessa central nuclear foi possível não apenas confirmar a importância dos três processos estudados, mas também observar que os mesmos podem ser tratados e avaliados de forma integrada e sistematizada. Assim, foi apresentado um modelo que busca facilitar a compreensão dessa perspectiva e valorizar a importância da participação e a cooperação entre os atores envolvidos (organizações e população local) dentro de uma perspectiva sócioparticipativa. Para tal, esta pesquisa exploratória buscou evidências em documentos, na participação em reuniões de planejamento e no exercício geral do Plano de Emergência da CNAAA de 2013, na realização de entrevistas com alguns dos atores envolvidos e através da aplicação de questionário junto à população da Praia Vermelha, em Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro.
The technological development inherent to modern societies has placed human beings in situations of choice from a wide variety of possible risks. As a way to protect people and the environment, actions need to be developed in order to reduce possible consequences of the materialisation of these risks. The thermonuclear power generation demand planning in order to prepare answers to possible emergency situations, as even being considered of low probability of occurrence, when they happen have a significant impact on populations and regions of its surroundings. Considering the relevance of this issue, this thesis aimed to identify and analyze the dynamics of preparedness and response to emergency situations in a Nuclear Power Plant, trying to understand its evolution over the time and systematizing it, considering the actors involved, processes of organizational learning, innovation and risk communication, considered as crucial for the development and improvement of emergency plans. Concerning preparedness and response to possible emergency situations in this nuclear plant, it was possible not only to confirm the importance of the three processes studied, but also observe that they can be treated and evaluated in an integrated and systematic way. So, it was presented a model that aims to facilitate the understanding of this perspective and enhance the importance of participation and cooperation between all stakeholders (organizations and the local population) within a socio-participatory perspective. To this end, this exploratory research sought for evidences in documents, participation in planning meetings, direct observation of the general exercises of the CNAAA External Emergency Plan of 2013, interviews with some of the actors involved and through the application of a questionnaire among the population of the Praia Vermelha, in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro.

In recent years, due to serious air pollution, the government began to promote the usage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are fuel for automobiles; it is expected that by 2013 there will be 150 gas-filling stations in Taiwan. Most gas-filling stations have few personnel and are located in urban areas, and accidents would be even more series than traditional gas stations. With the increase of gas-filling stations, the consequent risks also increase. This study explored the response of gas-filling stations, and established a system framework for an automatic response system, which includes six major modules: detection module, notification module, public address module, control reference module, aftermath simulation module, and decision-making support module. Implementation of the automatic response system would make emergency response faster and more definitive. In regards to the current state of lack of gas-filling stations emergency response manpower and equipment, this study also proposed the planning of coordinated defense system, in hope that through the activation of the coordinated defense system, it would elevate the response abilities in the first stage, to decrease the seriousness of gas-filling station leakages, fires, or explosions. In order to realize the coordinated defense of gas-filling stations emergency response, this study suggests that in the future, various county/city government fire prevention bureaus can lead in establishment of gas-filling stations emergency response coordinated defense systems, in disaster prevention, equipment organization, response, or even in various stages of restoration. In this way, the fire prevention teams can better coordinate the manpower and resources for fighting disasters, so that the prevention and rescue of gas-filling station disasters would be more efficient.

Abstract Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) caused global catastrophe in Taiwan. The emergence of SARS posed a very serious issue: “There is no emergency response planning among hospitals taking SARS patients.” Our main objective was to establish an evaluation model to fill the urgency of hospitals’ need in Taiwan. This study intends to establish an evaluation model for emergency plans through the Delphi Technique. Questionnaires for the emergency response planning evaluation model will be setup for experts in related fields to review. A drill will be conducted at a hospital directly governed by Department of Health, after the initial guideline and evaluation model are completed to provide a mechanism to improve them and to further prove their effectiveness. Basically, the establishment of this evaluation model follows five step processes: 1). Initiation. 2). Formulation. 3). Implementation. 4). Evaluation. 5). Improvement/integration. The evaluation method established in this study includes thirteen major categories. Each major category contains several items depending upon its relative importance. Each item has its own weight. The results from this study fill up the gaps in the governmental structural deficiency and the lack of occupational safety and health education and training among medical personnel in Taiwan. This evaluation method will also serve as a diagnostic means for hospital’s emergency response plan. Emergency response planning is the most important issue in hospital’s safety management. Government should increase the weight of hospital’s safety management in their routine hospital inspections so that hospitals would be more willing to take this issue more seriously in order to protect the wellness of hospital personnel and patients. Keywords: Emergency Response, Emergency Response Plan, Evaluation Method。

In recent years, the number of respiratory care wards in Taiwan hospitals has increased significantly, with the majority of the patients being physically challenged, making it difficult to take fire extinguishing procedures during the early stages of fires. Because of this, the process of having medical personnel assist the patients with emergency fire escape has become an important evaluation issue. Based on these conditions, when a certain hospital was practicing their annual fire escape drills, three people from the nursing staff directly moved the hospital beds which were equipped with oxygen cylinders and bag-valve-masks, and then proceeded with horizontal evacuation; with the time needed for the equipment to be set up being 26 seconds, and the movement speed of the equipment being 0.841 m/sec. The execution of vertical evacuation must be cooperated with the drill equipment of emergency rescue chairs and movable escape ladders, with the movement speed of the chairs being 0.007 m/sec and the speed of the ladders being 0.39 m/sec. This research inserted the drill times into the simulation programs created by NIST of both FDS and EVAC to simulate the entire evacuation of hospital personnel and patients under adequate manpower and resources. With a horizontal evacuation distance of 28.6m for hospital beds and a vertical evacuation distance of 22.8m for emergency rescue chairs, while under the circumstance of having two unobstructed stairways, the 78 patients were evacuated from the floor with the fire after 168 seconds and the entire building was evacuated after 1216 seconds, also including the time needed for preparations. In order to lessen the time needed for evacuation, this research added self-movable escape ladders; also under the circumstance of having two unobstructed stairways, it took 542 seconds for the 78 patients to evacuate the floor with the fire and 915 seconds for the entire building to be evacuated, also including the time needed for preparations. When only looking at the evacuation time of the entire building, the addition of self-movable escape ladders cut the time needed for escape by 301 seconds, therefore it is recommended that these ladders be installed to ensure the lives of the hospital personnel and the patients. Key words: Emergency fire escape, FDS and EVAC, emergency escape

A nuclear accident is a serious aerial disaster. The result of disaster can continuously expand and extend to outside of a nuclear plant to endanger the public life and health. Due to the tragedy experiences from Taiwan’s 921 Earthquake and the US’s 911 tragedy, we cannot prevent all the natural disasters as well as any human sabotage events. Therefore, the events alert world people for warnings and attentions. In viewing the world important nuclear accidents, we have to ask ourselves if we are ready for a crisis and what are the mechanisms or if we have done a proper preparation. If there is a nuclear accident, will we be capable to handle and resolve the crisis. How will we protect the public lives and health? This series of questions should be carefully study by our people in Taiwan. Currently, the Nuclear Accident Management Committee under the ROC-AEC operates our nuclear accident emergency readiness. Due to the recent political environment changes in Taiwan, the local elected chiefs want to have more says in local policies and also to protect lives and properties. They became more actively involved in the information about nuclear accidents and the execution of emergency plans. In nuclear accidents, the timing, urgencies, responsibilities, and tasks roles for the Taiwan central government and local governments should be now planned and prepared. This paper uses reference studies, in-depth interviews, and meeting information in nuclear safety exercises to analyze Taiwan’s nuclear emergency response mechanism and current shortfalls. This paper makes conclusions and recommendations by means of systems, decision-making, and procedures in order to construct a study reference for nuclear power plant emergency response mechanism. The key points in this paper’s conclusions are: 1. A nuclear power plant should have stringent safety control and surveillance mechanism to effectively secure nuclear safety. 2. The government should pay attentions to lack of legal basis and short of fund problems. 3. The response organization is not properly planned and cannot effectively perform the response functions. 4. The command and communication mechanisms still exist shortfalls and need improvements. 5. A good communication strategy with media is positive in handling a crisis. 6. The government should pay attentions to crisis response ideas and educational communication. 7. Taiwan should have established the capabilities in nuclear accident analysis and safety evaluation. 8. To assure nuclear safety in a nuclear power plant, we should have a culture of safety with plant’s tech specs. 9. The central government and the local governments have yet to integrate equipment and resources for accident prevention. 10. A nuclear safety drill is a performance of crisis response but still needs improvement. This paper has the suggestions as the follows: 1. Suggestions to Systems (1) Complete emergency response law. (2) Complete the prevention and plan systems for nuclear accidents. (3) Set up a response organization with permanent tasks. (4) Set up a training system for experts. 2. Suggestions in Decision-Making (1) Establish “Nuclear Safety Home” consensus. (2) Elevate decision-making quality. (3) Make a clear division on central and local government power in response organization. (4) Advertise crisis management and educational training. 3. Suggestions to Procedures (1) Improve capabilities in safety evaluation and accident analysis. (2) Integrate central and local disaster prevention equipment and resources. (3) Elevate the performance of nuclear safety drill. (4) Increase the fund used in a nuclear accident response.

The Maanshan nuclear power plant is located in Hengchun Township, South Taiwan. Hengchun Peninsula is a famous tourist area, and the hostel is very popular. If the nuclear emergency occurred in the nuclear power plant, the safety of tourist is closely related to the response actions of hostel managers. This study used a correlation questionnaire to investigate the risk of tourist for the nuclear emergency. The phase level of the questionnaire included three parts: the disaster preparedness ability of hostel, education and training situations of nuclear emergency, and the response ability of the nuclear disaster of the hostel managers. The factors affecting the phase were formed into questions. Then, the questionnaire results were analyzed by cloud theory. The results showed that the hyper entropy in the question level of seismic resistance capacity of a hostel, people take iodine tablets need to wait for government notification in the nuclear emergency, and the public protection information promotion of nuclear emergency are 0.0441, 0.0498, and 0.0305, respectively. The disaster preparedness ability of hostel in the phase level has the highest value of hyper entropy of 0.0356.

In the high-tech industry, chemicals are often used in order to manufacture products. However, most chemicals or reaction products potentially carry high risks and dangers. Once these hazardous substances leak, they will not only cause workers discomfort, but endanger their lives. Furthermore, if accidents were caused by flammable or spontaneously combustible substances, they will cause greater loss of lives and property damage. In this thesis, we discuss ways to prevent unusual calamities on the basis of a case study. Methods including joint inspections and regular on-the-spot investigations by representatives and directors from different respective sectors can ensure the industry comply with safety and hygiene regulation and equip workers with abilities to identify hazardous factors. By practicing methods indicated in our study case, hazardous factors discovered actively by workers were increased from 5 to 61 elements per year from 2008 to 2012. Moreover, the training enables workers to know more about the seriousness of an unusual calamity and the importance of complying with standard operating procedures. Based on our case study, the data show the occurrence frequency of unusual calamities resulted from ignoring the standard operating procedures had dropped from 55 to 7 cases per year. In order to react effectively at the moment when unusual calamities happen, the plant in our case study creates three training methods and one supplementary scheme, hoping to equip workers with abilities to contingency management, minimize the average time for workers to put on protective equipment in a safe and correct manner, and reduce the time for controlling the emergency.
