Published in association with the University of Southern California's Institute of Safety and Systems Management, this database provides a comprehensive, timely survey of recent work relating to public health, safety, and industrial hygiene. Cited studies are geared to help individuals identify, evaluate, and eliminate or control risks and hazards across the spectrum of environmental and occupational situations. The database provides the latest perspectives on topics of widespread concern such as aviation and aerospace safety, environmental safety, nuclear safety, medical safety occupational safety, and ergonomics. Health and safety related aspects of pollution, waste disposal, radiation, pesticides, epidemics - and countless other phenomena having the potential to threaten the public, the environment, or the workplace itself - are reported here. Drawing on government reports as well as journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and other publications, Health and Safety Science Abstracts synthesizes the most important new developments in safety science and human factors research.

Abstract
This article illustrates how the findings from research work
have been used to develop practical tools for the assessment
of safety management systems and attitudes to safety at Major
Hazard sites. In describing the process of developing such
tools some mention is made of the research work itself, although
this is mainly by reference to published material, and some
reference is made to the process of initiating research work
and managing it. The paper, therefore, seeks to emphasize
the practical utility of research work in the field of health
and safety. The author fully acknowledges the wide range of
contributions made by other workers to the outcomes of the
work. |
