A few pipelines transport different unsafe items, for example, synthetic concoctions, profoundly unstable fluids, and anhydrous alkali, or carbon dioxide. As per information from the 2018 NHIS-OHS, laborers utilized in mining and oil and gas enterprises had high commonness paces of introduction to conceivably unsafe work association attributes and risky synthetic compounds gas spills. In our task we are intending to recognize the careful area of the break. A gas spill locator is a gadget that identifies the nearness of gases in a region, as a major aspect of a word related security framework. This kind of hardware is utilized to identify a gas spill, warmth, fire and different emanations and can interface with a human. A controller can sound an alert to human in the region where the variation from the norm is happening, allowing them the chance to find the break without human hazard. This kind of gadget is significant in light of the fact that there are numerous gases that can be hurtful to human. This undertaking measures and alarms the specialist from this risk. The locator unit will be versatile vehicle based gear. This unit will move alongside the pipe line, screen the air and gives ready messages. The versatile security framework will consistently quantify the warmth, CO and H2S level in the environment or in shut zones where human are working[19],[20],[21]

The Impact

Electronic Business (e-Business) is revolutionizing the way of communication between Internal and external stakeholders in an organization. E-business can lead to competitive advantage and at the same time, increase profitability. There are several factors resulting on the success of e-business. One of the most important factors is Security. It is thus clear that information technology (IT) and the emerging e-business application and related to security are gaining a pivotal role in managing supply chain. This paper examines the impact of E-business on supply chain on information security aspect among other types of supply chains. The current paper reviews security and supply chain literatures and then investigates framework of information technology in supply chain management. Areas of supply chain which need security attention are then proposed in e-supply chain information security framework and this will be considered as a guideline for managers to find out if their e-supply chain network is secure enough. Through the paper, one realizes that Information Security in every information based-system will be vital.

Security Incidents

Managing security is essential for organizations doing business in a globally networked environment and for organizations that are at the same time seeking to achieve their missions and goals. However, numerous technical advancements do not always produce a more secure environment. All kinds of human factors can deeply affect the management of security in an organizational context. Therefore, security is not solely a technical problem; rather, the authors need to understand human factors, which need adequate attention to achieve an effective information security management system practice. This paper identifies direct and indirect human factors that have impact on information security. These factors were analyzed through the study of two security incidents of the UK's financial organizations using the SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) technique. The study's results show that human factors are the main causes for these security incidents. Factors such as training, awareness, and security culture influence organizational strength and opportunity relating to information security. People's irrational behavior and errors are the main weaknesses highlighted in security incidents, which pose threats such as poor reputation and high costs.

The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) has created a Task Force to help implement Goal D of the HFES Strategic plan ( https://www.hfes.org/about-hfes/strategic-plan ), to “translate the science of HF/E into practice.” One way for that to occur is for HFES publications to cite standards. This symposium will raise awareness of this idea and provide additional supporting materials. The focus is on 4 example applications - automotive (in particular, SAE standards for motor vehicles), healthcare (with a focus on AAMI), nuclear (from both the IEEE and NRC perspectives), and oil and gas. Papers in this symposium will (1) describe organizations and the groups within them that develop human factors standards for each of the 4 applications, (2) describe how to find human factors standards relevant to these applications, (3) summarize some of those standards, and (4) identify where human factors input is needed to improve the standards of each organization.
