事故致因“2-4”模型的内涵解析及第6版的研究

为使事故致因“2-4”模型(24Model)在追溯事故原因和制定事故预防对策时取得更好的应用效果,有必要对24Model的内涵进行科学解析。通过文献分析和对比研究,阐述24Model的逻辑结构、原因模块的科学内涵、主要特点。研究结果表明:24Model的主要理论基础,一是HEINRICH、BIRD等提出与改进的多米诺骨牌系列模型,二是REASON提出、SHAPPELL等具体化的瑞士奶酪系列模型和人因分类系统,三是STEWART提出的卓越安全管理模型;静态24Model的逻辑结构以因果关系建立,它属于因果顺序类事故致因模型;静态24Model中事故的直接、间接、根源、根本原因的含义可以从上述3大类事故致因模型、管理体系标准和安全文化的定义中找到根据;动态24Model靠行为演化关系建立逻辑结构,其充分表达自身的系统性、动态性、非线性,并且依靠组织行为即影响行为、个体行为即操作行为,构成一个行为演化系统。     

Environmental evaluation of plastic waste management scenarios

The management of the plastic fraction is one of the most debated issues in the discussion on integrated municipal solid waste systems. Both material and energy recovery can be performed on such a waste stream, and different separate collection schemes can be implemented. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the debate, based on the analysis of different plastic waste recovery routes. Five scenarios were defined and modelled with a life cycle assessment approach using the EASEWASTE model. In the baseline scenario (P0) the plastic is treated as residual waste and routed partly to incineration with energy recovery and partly to mechanical biological treatment. A range of potential improvements in plastic management is introduced in the other four scenarios (P1–P4). P1 includes a source separation of clean plastic fractions for material recycling, whereas P2 a source separation of mixed plastic fraction for mechanical upgrading and separation into specific polymer types, with the residual plastic fraction being down-cycled and used for “wood items”. In P3 a mixed plastic fraction is source separated together with metals in a “dry bin”. In P4 plastic is mechanically separated from residual waste prior to incineration.A sensitivity analysis on the marginal energy was carried out. Scenarios were modelled as a first step assuming that marginal electricity and heat were based on coal and on a mix of fuels and then, in the sensitivity analysis, the marginal energy was based on natural gas.The study confirmed the difficulty to clearly identify an optimal strategy for plastic waste management. In fact none of the examined scenarios emerged univocally as the best option for all impact categories. When moving from the P0 treatment strategy to the other scenarios, substantial improvements can be obtained for “Global Warming”. For the other impact categories, results are affected by the assumption about the substituted marginal energy. Nevertheless, irrespective of the assumptions on marginal energy, scenario P4, which implies the highest quantities of specific polymer types sent to recycling, resulted the best option in most impact categories.
