The document discusses the costs of lack of safety for various parties in the utility industry in the 1990s. Deregulation led to more outsourcing of work to contractors who often lacked adequate training and supervision of workers. This resulted in more accidents and fatalities, especially among contractors. Accidents imposed costs on employers in terms of workers compensation, fines, litigation, and equipment damage. Lack of safety also increased costs for manufacturers and customers through higher insurance premiums, liability costs, and decreased availability and flexibility of equipment designs.

Introduction to Functional Safety and SIL CertificationISA Boston Section
This overview session will acquaint attendees with the key concepts in the IEC 61508 standard for functional safety of electrical/electronic and programmable electronic systems. An introduction is provided to safety integrity levels (SIL), the safety lifecycle and the requirements needed to achieve a functional safety certificate. Information will be provided on documentation requirements and an introduction to the basic objectives of product design for functional safety.
Wearable Electronic Medical Devices: What Fails & Why?Cheryl Tulkoff
What are the requirements of wearable electronic medical devices? They must be non-restrictive, portable, always accessible, easily controllable, and have both localized communication and possibly wireless communications capabilities.
Wearable medical electronics falls into the categorization of “Next Generation Technologies”, technologies the supply chain or the user will implement because they are cheaper, faster, and stronger. One of the most common drivers for failure is inappropriate adoption of these new technologies. Since most designers have little or no influence over the packaging technologies chosen for implementation, awareness of the pitfalls and what actions need to be taken to assure that the new technologies are reliable is critical. With these new medical electronics, there are several issues that need to be addressed from a reliability perspective to assure these applications are both safe and reliable.
Some of the challenges that will be discussed included failures due to new device packaging, environmental conditions like sweat, UV & temperature exposure, tumble & drop, bending and torque, and the inevitable water immersion. The implications of RF ID and battery life are also explored.

Erau webinar january 2017 airport construction ERAUWebinars
Slides from an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University webinar presented Jan. 12, 2017. Airports are a lot like miniature cities - dynamic, complex and expansive, with lots of moving parts, and disruptive incidents that need to be managed daily. Airports operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so terminals and facilities must continue to operate safely while construction work is going on. Construction sites combine powerful mobile equipment and tools, heavy materials, and human beings, all placed within a crowded work space. This is a formula for accidents. This webinar looks at airport safety and security, preventing and controlling accidents and hazards, and keeping airport construction projects on schedule.
