Background: According to the National Safety Council and the Bureau of Labor Statistics there were over 4,000 preventable injury related deaths. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration emphasizes that safety cultures should consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment. The purpose of this industry-sponsored research project was to assist a medical manufacturing facility with safety program OSHA compliance. Method: Job Safety Analysis (JSA), also ca lled job hazard analysis, and facility inspections were used to identify hazards focused on the worker, task, tools, and the work environment. Results: Areas with high hazard scores according to the JSA were a ssigned to supervisors and the research team to provide immediate process and environment changes. Conclusion: JSA is a great tool to identify safety hazards on a job site though job functions. This will prevent injuries and a llow even small companies to remain compliant with federal regulations. Creating an atmosphere from top to bottom with a culture of safety responsibility andownership can promote a safe and productive environment.

The purpose of this study is; information about the high school or equivalent teachers working in schools, job security is to determine the hidden dangers other than thought and safety measures related to safety at school and work to contribute to the solution of this problem. Qualitative research methods, including six managers in the survey conducted by 17 professional technical teachers and 15 classes participated in a total of 32 teachers group culture. Focus group discussions and one-to-one interviews done with information about the job security teachers what hidden dangers beyond thought and safety measures related to safety in schools that have been investigated. Situated in Şişli high school or equivalent and Kâğıthane district schools in the study were selected. Studies on the safety of vocational and technical teachers as a result of general education courses according to their teachers as more information has emerged they have a business need. Also, it is seen that they are shareholders in the implementation of measures related to safety of vocational technical teacher. A number of problems arise with different and varied perspectives on security related more students remaining in the determination of the danger out of business safety measures in schools. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı; lise ve dengi okullarda çalışan öğretmenlerin iş güvenliği ile ilgili bilgileri, okullarındaki iş güvenliği ile ilgili düşünceleri ve iş güvenliği tedbirleri dışındaki gizli tehlikeleri belirlemek ve bu sorunun çözümüne katkıda bulunmaya çalışmaktır. Nitel araştırma yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmaya altısı yönetici olmak üzere, 17 mesleki teknik öğretmen ve 15 kültür dersleri grubu toplam 32 öğretmen katılmıştır. Odak grup görüşmeleri ve bire bir görüşmeler yapılarak öğretmenlerin iş güvenliği ile ilgili bilgileri, okullarındaki iş güvenliği ile ilgili düşünceleri ve iş güvenliği tedbirleri dışındaki gizli tehlikelerin neler olduğu araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada Şişli ve Kâğıthane ilçesinde yer alan lise ve dengi okullar seçilmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda mesleki teknik öğretmenlerin iş güvenliği konusunda genel kültür dersleri öğretmenlerine göre işin gereği olarak daha çok bilgi sahibi oldukları ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, genel olarak mesleki teknik öğretmenlerin iş güvenliği ile ilgili tedbirlerin alınmasında pay sahibi oldukları görülmektedir. Okullarda iş güvenliği tedbirleri dışında kalan tehlikelerin belirlenmesinde ise daha çok öğrencilerle ilgili bir takım problemler ile güvenliğe yönelik farklı ve çeşitli görüşler ortaya çıkmaktadır.

As a result of the considerable impacts of hydrological hazard on water resources, on natural environments and human activities, as well as on human health and safety, climate variability and climate change have become key issues for the research community. In fact, a warmer climate, with its heightened climate variability, will increase the risk of hydrological extreme phenomena, such as droughts and floods. The Special Issue “Hydrological Hazard: Analysis and Prevention” presents a collection of scientific contributions that provides a sample of the state-of-the-art and forefront research in this field. In particular, innovative modelling methods for flood hazards, regional flood and drought analysis, and the use of satellite and climate data for drought analysis were the main topics and practice targets that the papers published in this Special Issue aimed to address.
