Depending on the type of industry and work operations they are involved in, workers are exposed to
different workplace hazards on a daily basis. Working in an office is generally considered a safe working
environment, but the truth is that accidents can happen anywhere. Not only workers of heavy industries
such as construction and manufacturing, but also people who spend their whole day in administrative
sites and whose nature of work is clerical or administrative, are exposed to many occupational hazards.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Health and Safety Design
Considerations
• The potential health hazard to an individual by a material used in any chemical
or biochemical process is a function of the inherent toxicity of the material and
the frequency and duration of the exposure
• The main objective of health hazard control is to limit the chemical dosage of a
chemical by minimizing or preventing exposure
• It is not practical to measure or control the chemical dosage directly; rather,
exposure is measured and limits are set for its control
• Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004
• Sources of Exposure
e.g. Inhalation
– Thus an understanding of the sources of contaminants to which workers are exposed is
important for the recognition, evaluation and control of occupational health hazards
– E.g. mechanical abrasions of solid material by cutting, grinding or drilling can produce small
particles that can form an airborne dust cloud or solid aerosol
18. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Engineering Ethics in Design
• In any professional activity, engineers are obligated to pursue their profession
with the highest level of ethical behaviour
– Early gold plants buried cables
– Site installation - no drawings
– No blocked chute alarms
– Safety was not foremost - HCN gas, gaurding rails, job safety analysis
• The personal conduct of engineers has obligations to the individual engineer,
employer and/or client, colleagues and co-workers, the public and the environment
• There are various codes of ethics adopted by the various engineering societies
− Engineers Australia
− AusIMM
− SME
− CIM
− SAIME
− American Institute of Chemical Engineers Code of Ethics
− National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics
19. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Hazard Assessment Techniques
The selection of inherently safe processes in the concept stage can eliminate
many hazards that would otherwise require complex and costly engineering in
later design stages.
Formalized hazard assessment techniques include:
• Hazard and Operability study (HAZOP)-process related
− Systematic technique for identifying all internal plant or equipment hazards and operability
problems
• HAZID - risk Assessment process for the facility as a whole
• Fault-tree Analysis
− A means of analyzing hazardous events after they’ve been identified by other techniques
− Used to estimate the likelihood of an accident by breaking it down into its contributing sequences,
each of which is separated into all its necessary events
20. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Hazard Assessment Techniques (Cont.)
• Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
− Applied to a specific piece of equipment in a process or a particularly hazardous part of a larger
process
− To evaluate the frequency and consequences of component failures on the process and
surroundings
• Safety Indexes
− Numerical fire and explosive indexes can be calculated based on the nature of the process and
the properties of the materials
• Safety Audits
− To verify the adequacy of safety equipment and safety rules
• Includes equipment for fire protection, personnel protection and on-site emergency
responses
• Detailed checklists covering every aspect of health, safety and loss prevention
Autoclave 5,000 Kpa
21. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Personnel Safety Considerations
• Every attempt should be made to incorporate facilities for health and
safety protection of plant personnel in the original design
− Includes, but is not limited to:
> Protected walkways
> Platforms
> Stairs
> Work areas
> Tripwires
> Emergency exits
> Nucleonic sources-density gauges
• Physical hazards, if unavoidable must be clearly defined
• Means for egress must be unmistakable
• All machinery must be guarded with protective devices
• Medical services and first aid must be readily available
22. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Loss Prevention Also Important
• “Loss Prevention” is an insurance term where the loss represents the
financial loss associated with an accident
• The loss represents:
− the cost of repairing/replacing the damaged facility
− damage claims
− the loss of earnings from lost production during the repair period
− any associated lost sales opportunities
• The Design Engineer must ensure that the risks involved with hazards are
reduced to acceptable levels through the application of engineering principles
and proven engineering practice
23. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Loss Prevention Steps
1. Identification and assessment of the major hazards
2. Control of the hazards by the most appropriate means
E.g. containment, substitution, improved maintenance etc.
3. Control of the process
i.e. prevention of hazardous conditions in process operating variables by utilizing automatic
control and relief systems, interlocks, alarms etc.
4. Limitation of the loss when an accident occurs
24. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Project Phases
• Typical phases of a project
and the corresponding
application of safe plant
design processes for each
phase
• The level of detail and the
types of hazard studies
undertaken will depend upon
the project facility, the number
and the types of risks
identified in the risk review
process
25. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Safety In Design Impact
26. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Environment Regulations
• Environmental Impact Statements and Assessments
− Requires determination of what environmental standards require compliance by the
project
− Obtaining baseline data
> Air quality
> Water quality
> Ambient noise levels
> Ecological studies and social surveys
> Emissions and effluents
− Examining existing data to determine environmental safety of the project
− Preparation of an effluent and emission summary with possible alternatives to meet
acceptable standards
27. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Environment Protection
• Development of a Pollution Control System involves:
− Investigation of the pollution sources
− the pollutants and the volume dispersed
− Determination of the properties of the pollution emissions
− Design of the collection and transfer systems
− Selection of the control device
− Dispersion of the exhaust to meet applicable regulations
• Consideration should be given to changing raw materials used and even
process operations if a significant reduction in pollution source can be
attained
• The extent to which source correction is justified depends on the cost of the
proposed treatment plan
28. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Safety Definitions
• Lost time injury (LTI): A work injury that results in an absence from work for at least
one full day or shift any time after the day or shift on which the injury occurred
• Serious injury: A lost time injury that results in the injured person being disabled for a
period of two weeks or more.
• Minor injury: A lost time injury that results in the injured person being disabled for a
period of less than two weeks
• Incidence rate: The number of lost time injuries per 1000 employees for a
12 month period
• Fatal injury incidence rate: The number of fatal injuries per 1000 employees for a 12
month period
• Lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR): The number of lost time injuries per million
hours worked

Guidelines For Safe Design
31. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
Designing For Safety
• No injury to user, (products liability)
• No injury to consumer /society-Vendors
• No injury to production worker (e.g. OHSA)
• No damage to personal property
• No damage to real property (environment)
32. j ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING DESIGN & VERIFICATION PRODUCT INNOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TRAINING SKILLSHIRE
1. Eliminate the hazard pro-active approach, “design-out” the hazard
(eliminate any moving parts, hot or sharp surfaces)
2. Protect against the hazard passive approach, (machine guards, seat
belts)
3. Warn against the hazard - weak remedy, (warning labels, alarms)
4. Provide training Provide and require operating training.
5. Provide personal protection - least effective, (safety glasses, gloves,
shoes)

• Safe-Life
– entire predicted useful life without malfunction
– designers to identify all operating conditions, misuses and abuses
– design appropriate maintenance and repair schedules
• Fail-Safe
– upon failure of a component, product/system shuts down safely,
critical functions are sometimes still performed
(e.g. boiler feed-water valve failing in the open position)
• Redundant design
– additional product components or systems are designed to take over the
principle function of the failed component or system. (e.g. multi-engine
airplanes, emergency brakes)

Construction is a Special Safety Case
Construction
• The installation of large and heavy plant items requires space and
perhaps access for cranes. Such activities introduce risks not normally
encountered in operating plants

What is Registrable Classified Plant?
• Basically, three main groups of
registrable classified plant encountered
on mining operations:
– pressure vessels
– cranes
– hoists and other plant used to lift
people

What are relevant Australian Standards
that Apply to Pressure Vessels?
• Applicable standard for the design, construction and testing of
pressure vessels is AS 1210
• Prescribed standard to assess the hazard level of a pressure vessel is
AS 4343
• Applicable standard for in-service inspection and maintenance for
pressure vessels is AS 3788
Tip: If you are responsible for classified plant at your site, make sure
your maintenance staff are made aware of these requirements

What About Boilers?
• The applicable standard for the design, construction and testing of
boilers is AS 1228
• AS 4343 is also used to assess the hazard level of a boiler
Tip: Many boilers and pressure vessels are designed,
manufactured and testing overseas using other design codes.
If you’re in the market for a pressure vessel or boiler, always
make sure that you specify and check that it is designed,
constructed and tested to the applicable Australian Standard –
otherwise you will encounter problems when trying to register it
with Resources Safety.

Why is AS 4343 so important?
• AS 4343 essentially takes into account the following when assessing
the hazard level of a pressure vessel or boiler:
− Internal volume
− Design pressure
− Contents
Rule of thumb: The greater the volume, design pressure and more
lethal the contents, the higher the hazard level
Hazard level “A” is the highest and “C” is the lowest requiring
registration

Plant Siting and Layout
Security
• The site should be provided with a boundary fence and all entrances
should have a gatehouse.
• The number of entrances should be kept to a minimum.
