Introduction: The overall oil and gas industries are considered as the most important industry in the country, where a significant part of the budget depends on it. The significant health and safety implications of these industries have been highlighted by staff and stakeholders as well. Methods: The present study was conducted to identify and assess the safety and health risks of the Fars Mountain 1 Seismology project using the HAZAN method in 2016 and 2017. The HTA was used to analyze the main tasks of the main occupations: digger, surveyor, shooter, drivers and helicopter pilot. The risk assessment process identified in the HAZAN method was based on qualitative matrix. In HAZAN, 50 health and safety risks were identified. Results: The results showed that 8 risk (16درصد) were unacceptable, 25 unsatisfactory (50درصد) and 17 (34درصد) were acceptable. Conclusion: The results showed that the processes of aviation and land transport, as well as traffic on mountain routes, are the most expensive activities of the project. Finally, management solutions were proposed to reduce the risk level of the most important project activities.

Health And Safety Risks

Introduction: Tasikmalaya Regency is one of the areas in West Java that has a large industrial potential, especially small and handicraft industries. Every workplace, both formal and informal, has various potential hazards that can affect the health of workers or can cause occupational diseases. As bamboo is sharp, the craftsmen must be very careful in treating bamboo as a woven materialbecause the risk of accidents such as cutting off hands, being punctured by bamboo slats, and the risk of other potential mechanical hazards can occur. The purpose of this study is to analyze the occupational health and safety risks of woven craftsmen in the Rajapolah District, Tasikmalaya Regency. Methods: This study was a descriptive study. 5 Bamboo weaving craftsmen were the subjects of this study. Meanwhile, the objects of this study were the work process and workplace environment. Data collection was carried out by observation and interviews. Data analysis was performed using a semi-quantitative risk analysis method according to AS/NZS 4360: 2004 standard. Results: 23 potential hazards are identified from all stages of the bamboo process, and 23 health and safety risks are identified from all potential hazards, with 1 risk at a lowrisk level, 15 risks at a medium risk level, and7 risks at a highrisk level. Conclusion: There are 7 risks at the high-risk level that must be prioritized for control, originating from the potential hazards of ergonomics and chemicals.

To construct and maintain transportation facilities in a cost-effective manner, management of a large state highway construction program must address health and safety risks to highway users and workers. Successful management of construction-site risks requires defined objectives, strong agency commitment, adherence to fundamental safety and health principles, and clearly defined procedures. Health and safety risks and associated costs inherent in highway construction are examined, and the New York State Department of Transportation’s construction safety and health program is described. These efforts are offered as a model to other large transportation agencies that may be considering adopting such an approach. Key elements in this program include clear-cut contractual requirements, adequate program staffing, an accident reporting system to identify critical concerns and track progress, formalized procedural manuals to provide operational guidance, quality assurance/ quality control procedures, and compliance measures and outreach efforts to the construction industry and other agencies. Problem areas have been identified where greater program focus can obtain results in terms of reduced losses. Initiatives have been directed toward falls, utility contacts, demolition safety, and work-zone traffic control.

The Eu

Medical devices form a large heterogeneous group of products ranging from simple tools to medical testing and implants, the safety and efficacy of which are strictly regulated in all developed countries. Thanks to the health and cost benefits, medical devices have also found their way into veterinary medicine but, surprisingly, the regulation of these products is far less complex or, in some cases, missing altogether. Given the complexity and potential hazards of certain veterinary devices, the current state of affairs may lead to health and safety risks, both for animals and personnel involved. This review is the first to systematically map the current situation in the EU, revealing health and safety risks in practice for both animals and personnel involved and discussing them in a broader context. Only six out of the EU's 28 member states (Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia) were found to have at least a degree of regulation of veterinary devices. As a result, a single product may be regulated as a veterinary medicinal product, a veterinary medical device or not be regulated at all, depending on the particular EU member state in question. As things stand, veterinary medicine makes use of all kinds of medical devices, including human products, regardless of their regulatory status and (pre-market) control. However, the use of such devices may influence the health and well-being of animals. Several measures are therefore suggested to attain the required levels of safety and efficacy surveillance for veterinary medical devices without creating excessive administration.

Health And Safety Risks

Alternative solid fuels becoming popular thanks to considerable fuel cost save (comparing to gas). Pellet quality varies depending on content of bark, straw and other non-wood additives. These additives decrease the combustion efficiency and increase the fuel consumption and solid emission. Pellets stored in large amount bring certain hazard for a man. They may become dangerous for the high fire risk due to self-ignition tendency and also due to moulds presence attacking the human breath system.

Health And Safety Risks

Childcare workers are exposed to several health and safety risks in their work environment, the most common being infectious diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, accidents, and occupational stress. Pregnant childcare workers have an additional risk of potential harm to the fetus. Occupational health nurses can work collaboratively with childcare workers to reduce these risks and provide workplace health promotion programs. This article explores the occupational health and safety issues for childcare workers and suggests health promotion strategies that could be implemented by occupational health nurses working in this arena.
