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.

基于可靠度和性能的结构整体地震易损性分析

地震风险分析包括地震危险性分析、地震易损性分析和地震灾害损失评估3个方面，其中，地震易损性分析可以预测结构在不同等级地震作用下发生各级破坏的概率，因此对结构的抗震设计、加固和维修决策具有重要的应用价值。传统的结构地震易损性分析主要采用经验方法或蒙特卡洛模拟法绘制地震易损性曲线。首先介绍地震风险分析的基本原理，然后提出结构整体地震易损性的概念，针对传统方法存在的问题，将结构的可靠度方法与基于性能的抗震设计理论结合起来，提出了基于可靠度和性能的结构整体地震易损性分析方法，并采用有限元可靠度方法进行了结构地震易损性的计算。以结构的最大层间相对变形作为整体性能指标，对某5层2跨钢框架结构进行了地震易损性分析，绘制了其在不同地震作用下对应不同性能水准要求的地震易损性曲线。
