Development and evaluation of RAMP I – a practitioner’s tool for screening of musculoskeletal disorder risk factors in manual handling

RAMP I is a screening tool developed to support practitioners in screening for work-related musculoskeletal disorder risk factors related to manual handling. RAMP I, which is part of the RAMP tool, is based on research-based studies combined with expert group judgments. More than 80 practitioners participated in the development of RAMP I. The tool consists of dichotomous assessment items grouped into seven categories. Acceptable reliability was found for a majority of the assessment items for 15 practitioners who were given 1?h of training. The usability evaluation points to RAMP I being usable for screening for musculoskeletal disorder risk factors, i.e., usable for assessing risks, being usable as a decision base, having clear results and that the time needed for an assessment is acceptable. It is concluded that RAMP I is a usable tool for practitioners.     

A hybrid model for human factor analysis in process accidents: FBN-HFACS

Human factors are the largest contributing factors to unsafe operation of the chemical process systems. Conventional methods of human factor assessment are often static, unable to deal with data and model uncertainty, and to consider independencies among failure modes. To overcome the above limitations, this paper presents a hybrid dynamic human factor model considering Human Factor Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, and Bayesian network. The model is tested on accident scenarios which have occurred in a hot tapping operation of a natural gas pipeline. The results demonstrate that poor occupational safety training, failure to implement risk management principles, and ignoring reporting unsafe conditions were the factors that contributed most failures causing accident. The potential risk-based safety measures for preventing similar accidents are discussed. The application of the model confirms its robustness in estimating impact rate (degree) of human factor induced failures, consideration of the conditional dependency, and a dynamic and flexible modelling structure.

弹药环境适应性设计需要考虑的几个问题

环境适应性是装备(产品)的重要质量特性之一.弹药是武器装备的重要组成部分,弹药的环境适应性好,其储存寿命就长,反之则短.弹药的环境适应性不但涉及加工制造,更主要的在于研制过程中的环境适应性设计.在研制过程中,弹药环境适应性设计不但需要考虑温度、湿度等主要的环境因素,还需要特别重视材料、涂镀层、部件的耐蚀、耐老化性能,材料间的相容性,包装的影响等问题.为了提高弹药环境适应性的设计水平,还需要开展弹药的自然环境试验和加速老化试验,研究弹药的环境适应性.建议开展弹药的环境试验、研究,切实提高弹药的环境适应性设计水平.
