Abstract:
In the following thesis the administrative strategies in occupational health and safety regulation form the primary focus of discussion.
The initial approach for ensuring acceptable work conditions had been through direct state intervention and the use of coercive power. In view of the limitations of this approach, over time, state regulation was replaced by the "self-regulation" or "internal-responsibility system" under which participants at the workplace were given an enhanced say in the regulatory process. Recent trends have continued to favour this shift towards deregulation of the state's administrative structures.
The self-regulation strategy, however, also has limited applicability and can only prove effective if applied in combination with the state's enforcement strategies. The two approaches need to be viewed as being complimentary to one another and not mutually exclusive. This being the case the state's role in the regulatory process would require re-examination and alteration to ensure an effective and efficient regulatory structure.

Full text
Abstract:
This is a qualitative study that seeks to explore the workers’ perceptions towards the occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) system at the petrochemical industrial plant Sasol Infrachem in Sasolburg. It provides a platform for shop floor workers to express their subjective perceptions of the company’s OSHA measures by answering open ended questions. The study advances the notion that notwithstanding the safety managers’ efforts towards ensuring a safety regime in the workplace, however lucrative these might be, to really ensure a safe working environment in the workplace will always depend on the individual workers’ motivation to participate safely at work at any given time to ensure his/her safety and that of others. The study explores this subject by considering how they perceive these safety strategies, their vigilance, attitudes, their ownership of these and their inclination to comply with the occupational safety and health administration measures of Sasol. This study follows a Postmodernist theoretical framework emphasizing differences. Difference is a first and foremost identity feature of human beings. This goes for both their external and internal qualities. How workers perceive and relate to safety concepts will always be shaped by the differences among them. The study also makes use of the Environmental Justice Theory as a central theme, that holds that one life lost is one too many. At the forefront of industries are shop floor workers who are most vulnerable to workplace incident.The study assumes this premise with regard to their safety and health in the workplace

Abstract:

This safety research project explores the key factors that contribute to world-class safety programs for firms in the construction industry. A world-class safety program for this study is defined as a safety culture supported by all employees, and a work environment where accidents are not tolerated; zero accident mentality. This study used the Delphi methodology to identify the leadership qualities and safety processes that a company's leadership employs to influence an overall successful safety program in their organizations. The Delphi methodology obtained subjective judgments from the Delphi expert panel (55 members participated) to create objective safety information through an iterative process that is beneficial to the entire construction industry. The Delphi panel members were composed of 75% from subcontractor trades, 18% from construction managers, and 7% from construction trade associations. The Delphi expert panel reached consensus on 67 leadership qualities and 85 safety processes that improve safety performance. The 67 leadership qualities were consolidated to eight major leadership quality categories which include commitment, integrity, accountability, competence, value people, visionary, lead by example, and culture. The 85 safety processes were consolidated to four major safety process categories which include learning organization, structure, measurement and culture.

Abstract:
This thesis explores working and learning practices in the context of safety within the Civil Construction Industry (CC Industry) of Western Australia (WA) and specifically focuses on the relations between organisational safety values and current working practices, primarily focusing on the instrumental power of managers in organisations to produce safety. The thesis examines the values in action that permeate the workplace culture and mediate the daily practices of people working in this industry, and ultimately how they impact upon the minds and bodies of employees. The study provides insight into the working practices and discourses within this industry by exploring the space between rhetoric and reality. specifically in terms of managing actions. Patterns in the data illuminate particular relations between values and practices that can mediate improved regimes of occupational, safety and health (OS&H) practices within organisations in the CC Industry. This study was supported by the Civil Contractors Federation WA (CCF) enabling high-level access and reciprocal practical outcomes for the CC Industry.

Abstract:
The rate of injury and death inadvertently caused by medical treatment is too high and exacts enormous human and financial costs. Each year in Britain and the United States alone, hundreds of thousands of patients are injured, ten of thousands are killed and billions of dollars are spent on additional health care due to iatrogenic harm. Health care organisations remain predominately human-centred in their approach to safety-that is, methods of avoiding error rely primarily on the resolve and vigilance of individual clinicians to avoid bad outcomes. However, this approach is becoming increasingly inadequate in the face of the steadily rising complexity of modern health care and the increasing number of procedures carried out each year. In other high-reliability organisations such as aviation and nuclear power generation, safety results not from the sheer effort of “operators”, but from in-depth analysis of problems and the removal and redesign of dangerous aspects of systems-the so-called systems approach. Here I present an evaluation of the integrated drug administration system (IDAS) as an example of the systems approach, intended to reorganise the way in which anaesthetists give drugs to improve performance and facilitate safe practice. The problem of drug error in anaesthesia is an important subset of iatrogenic harm in medicine. From the prospective study of 10806 conventional anaesthetics I define the rate of drug error in anaesthesia as one error in every 133 anaesthetics conducted-a rate five times higher than anything previously reported. In addition, anaesthetists rated the risk of harming a patient through drug error in the course of their career as high. I discuss the principles of safe system design, the psychology of error, and advanced systems safety concepts with respect to the design of the IDAS and the future of safety in medicine. In clinical use, the IDAS saved time before and during anaesthesia, and was rated by anaesthetists as significantly safer and more useable than conventional methods of drug administration. This work supports the hypothesis that error in anaesthesia can be reduced through the systematic analysis of its causes and the implementation of appropriate countermeasure strategies.

Mabika, Bernard. "Improving Workers' Safety and Health in the Zimbabwean Mining and Quarrying Industry." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5499.

Full text
Abstract:
Lack of effective occupational safety and health (OSH) strategies is a reason that workplace accidents in the mining and quarrying industry remain high, making the industry one of the riskiest operations worldwide. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore successful strategies mining and quarrying leaders in Zimbabwe used to improve OSH. The key research question addressed successful strategies leaders in the mining and quarrying industry use to improve employee occupational safety and health in Zimbabwe. Six successful business leaders from 3 mining and quarrying mines in Zimbabwe demonstrated an exception to unsafe practices, particularly through their exceptional OSH improvement records. The conceptual framework of the study was Deming's plan-do-study-act cycle theory. Data were gathered through review of company documents, and in-depth interviews with 6 mining and quarrying leaders in Zimbabwe who had successfully improved OSH strategies in the workplace. Transcribed interview data were classified, coded, and analyzed. Themes that emerged included organizational culture, compliance with rules and regulations, and accident prevention. The results of the study indicate that successful OSH leaders designed the workplace, trained and developed employees, and empowered and equipped employees with the relevant skills and knowledge. The findings support positive social change by providing mining and quarrying leaders with knowledge and skills to improve OSH strategies in the workplace, thereby promoting a safe workplace and zero accident tolerance in the workforce and the community.

Abstract:
The middle manager situation is sometimes squeezed between requirements from different parties at the same time as they are crucial for the development of the organization. Masters, chief engineers and managers in the catering department onboard are middle managers squeezed between the office requirements and the working conditions of their crew. The purpose of this study was to look into the middle managers conditions with focus on the work for good working environment onboard ships in the commercial shipping industry. A study was made consisting of two main parts, first a literature review and secondly focus group interviews. The literature review looked for findings about the middle managers work for occupational health and safety, which were mostly about industries and organisations ashore. These findings were tested in the focus groups in order to find out if they applied also for the commercial shipping industry and if there are any special things to consider there. The focus group members were of both genders, from different management positions and companies within the Swedish commercial shipping industry. So what recommendations can be made in order to improve the middle managers work for a good working environment or occupational health and safety (OHS)? Recommendations are given about competence, staff engagement, policies, shared leadership and administrative workload. Three findings are suggested for further research, shared leadership, administrative workload and client pressure. It is interesting that the type of shared leadership that are found onboard seems to be rather unique for the commercial shipping industry.

Abstract:
The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a key factor in the competitiveness of organizations, it was developed by a research work, in Portugal, covering the full range of enterprises and public administration. The population was divided into micro, small, medium and large organizations and the number studied was 899. In total, there were sent about 18,800 messages. There were also carried out interviews with individuals involved in the world of work. That led to the conclusion that the OSH is a theme that cuts across any type of organization and the services themselves add value to the OSH, which is a relevant factor in competitiveness. So far, no work of this nature was yet carried, based on the following assumptions:H1 - Action of OSH Services contributes to decrease Occupational Accidents;H2 - Action of OSH Services helps to reduce Absenteeism;H3 - The working conditions contribute to increased Competitiveness;H4 - OSH Services are an investment, not a cost.OSH Services contribute to the improvement of working conditions. As a result, accidents at work and absenteeism decrease, resulting in greater productivity. This work also contributed to an overview of the degree of implementation of OSH Services.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper documents how utilizing available source term information, integrated safety management, and associated engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment (PPE) controls are used in concert to perform work safely. Two field projects consisting of 1) a room containing both hazardous (e.g., hydrofluoric acid) and radioactive constituents and 2) a former reaction vessel containing approximately 568 liters (150 gallons) of lime sludge and technetium-99 (Tc-99) were organized using the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS). This system allowed the project teams to control work-related decisions based on their knowledge, experience, expertise, and field observations. The information and experience gained from each project stage and rehearsals contributed to modifying subsequent entries, further emphasizing the importance of developing hold points and incorporating lessons learned. Furthermore, selecting the appropriate PPE is based on providing an adequate level of employee protection relative to the task-specific conditions and hazards. PPE is categorized into four ensembles based on the degree of protection afforded, e.g., Levels A (most restrictive), B, C, and D (least restrictive). What is often overlooked in preparing an ensemble is that the PPE itself can create significant worker hazards, i.e., the greater the level of PPE, the greater the associated risks. Furthermore, there is confusion as to whether a more “conservative approach” should always be taken since Level B provides the same level of respiratory protection as Level A but less skin protection. Additional information summarizes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations addressing Level A versus Level B, and provides justification for selecting Level B over Level A without under-protecting the employee. The hazards and the chemical nature of hydrofluoric acid provide qualitative evidence to justify Level A. Once hydrofluoric acid is removed as a source term constituent, PPE performance is evaluated against the remaining chemical inventory. If chemical breakthrough from direct contact is not expected to occur and instrument readings confirm the absence of any hazardous vapors, additional skin protection afforded by wearing a vapor-tight, totally encapsulated suit is not required. Therefore, PPE performance and instrument data provide quantitative evidence to justify Level B. These projects exemplify that using guidance provided by DOE’s ISMS and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) demonstrates how a detailed and thorough planning process integrating safe work practices and commitment to teamwork can result in the safe and effective completion of very complex and highly hazardous projects.

Full text
Abstract:
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations require underground coal mines to use refuge alternatives (RAs) to provide a breathable air environment for 96 hrs. One of the main concerns with the use of mobile RAs is the heat and humidity buildup inside the RA. The accumulation of heat and humidity can result in miners suffering heat stress or even death. To investigate this issue, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted testing on a training ten-person, tent-type, RA in its Safety Research Coal Mine (SRCM) in a test area that was isolated from the mine ventilation system. The test results using sensible and latent heat showed that the average measured air temperature within the RA increased by 20.6°F (11.4°C) and the relative humidity approached 90 %RH. The test results were used to benchmark a thermal simulation model of the tested RA. The validated thermal simulation model predicted the average air temperature inside the RA, at the end of 96 hours, to within 1°F (0.6°C) of the measured average air temperature.

Abstract:
The construction industry has been one of the most hazardous and waste-generating industries in the United States for decades, due to the unique nature of work and high degree of organizational complexity on jobsites. A number of citations against OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) 29 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) 1926 Safety and Health Regulations for Construction, primarily in sections that address fall protection and safety training in construction, appear in OSHA’s annual top 10 list of most frequently cited violations consistently. Innovative, science-based, and technology-driven solutions become more and more utilized in the construction industry. Examples of these solutions include: situated learning approach to improve the effectiveness of training, wearable technology to enhance personal protection, remote-controlled drones to perform various functions specially to improve site security, prevention through design concept to minimize risks, total worker health initiative to advance worker well-being, etc. It is imperative that safety, health, and environmental professionals should attempt to clearly understand the impact of these emerging technologies on construction safety and health, and be able to apply scientific principles to anticipate, identify, analyze, and control workplace hazards within the construction industry. Specifically, the pros and cons of each solution need to be examined and compared in order to identify effective methods to promote sustainable workforce and improve safety and health in construction.

Abstract:
From 2000–2015, thirty-two fatalities occurred due to collisions involving mobile equipment in underground coal mining in the United States. Studies have shown that proximity detection systems (PDS) can be a potential mitigation strategy for this type of accident. However, the effectiveness of this approach for mobile equipment has yet to be fully studied or validated. Researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) evaluated the causal factors of this type of fatality. Fatal accident reports from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) accident report database provided details to analyze and determine causal factors and to evaluate whether a PDS may have been a preventive factor in each accident. NIOSH researchers concluded that PDSs used in underground coal mines on mobile equipment which are designed to detect a miner, provide warning to the operator and other miners, and automatically stop the machine before a miner is hit may have helped to prevent 25 of the 32 or 78% of the accidents.

Abstract:
Agriculture has been considered one of the most hazardous industries in the U.S., with studies showing that the worker fatality rate in agriculture is over seven times higher in 2011 than the fatality rate for all private industry workers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), many of the fatalities and injuries that occur each year are preventable based on the use of protective equipment. Hazards associated with agricultural equipment such as farm tractors have been known for a number of years, and safety features have been introduced to mitigate, or in some cases, eliminate hazards associated with operation of this type of equipment. This paper presents a historical analysis of fatal and nonfatal injury data to identify potential effects of these safety features once introduced. The risks agricultural workers face, with an emphasis on hazards presented by farm equipment, is identified and quantified from data in recent years, specifically for farm tractors. For context, an introduction to the regulations and industry standards relevant to agricultural equipment is given, including the introduction of certain safety features such as roll-over protective structures (ROPS), which have been an industry standard requirement on tractors manufactured since the mid-1980s. Overall, recent data show continual reductions in the number of fatal injuries in the agricultural industry, particularly for farm tractors. However, further research is needed to clearly correlate the specific effects of safety mitigation devices on injuries associated with equipment in this industry.

Abstract:
The hazardous liquid and natural gas pipeline industries have been required to develop and implement Operator Qualification programs since 1999. Due to various circumstances, the Pipeline Safety Act of �02 has mandated that the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the pipeline industry regulator, develop more definitive standards for these programs. This report is being issued to help guide the industry and the regulator on what similar industries require for operator qualification. Four industries were chosen for the comparison, 2 transportation industries, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) as it regulates the Maritime industry and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as it regulates the qualification of railroad engineers. The USCG and the FRA are sister organizations to OPS in the U.S. DOT. The other 2 industries are �energy� related industries, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as it regulates the petrochemical industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as it regulates the Nuclear Power Industry. Since pipelines are a transportation mode and they transport energy related materials, these industries were chosen for comparison from an OQ perspective.
