Amelioration of safety management in infrastructure projectsIJERA Editor
Accidents are a major public health concern, resulting in an estimated 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries
worldwide each year specifically, the relationships between drivers' characteristics and road accidents are not
fully understood. Many factors are involved in the accident occurrence at construction site. Some important
elements that create a significant portion of accidents include: safety management error, poor training programs,
human element, act of god, outdated procedure and no clear monitoring policy. Although some of these items
are inevitable, but the occurrence of the largest part can be prevented. Therefore, for ameliorating the safety in a
project each of these items should be analyzed and a practical approach introduced. In general, near miss,
incident and accident are three dependent levels that mainly lead to injury. Risk and hazard are allocated in first
level which means near miss, therefore, no on-time identification of hazard and risk causes to create incident
and preventing accident in incident stage is unavoidable.
uction safety has been achieved, the industry still continues to lag behind most other industries with regard to safety. The construction safety of any organization consists of employee’s attitudes towards and perceptions of, health and safety
behaviour. Construction workers attitudes towards safety are influenced by their perceptions of risk, management, safety rules
and procedures. A measure of safety could be used to identify those areas of safety that need more attention and improvement.
The aim of the study was to identify factors in the safety management that any lead project success. these factors influence
construction safety. In this project questionnaire is framed to find safety in major organisations. data is collected on the basis
of questionnaire. Employees of various construction firm are interviewed. Collected data is analysed statistically. this analysis
is show the safety environment among organisation. it also gives suggestion to improve safety at construction site.
RISK MANAGEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AS PER INDIAN SCENARIOIAEME Publication
Construction industry is highly risk prone, with complex and dynamic project
environments creating an atmosphere of high uncertainty and risk. The industry is
vulnerable to various technical, sociopolitical and business risks. The track record
to cope with these risks has not been very good in construction industry. As a
result, the people working in the industry bear various failures, such as, failure of
abiding by quality and operational requirements, cost overruns and uncertain delays
in project completion. In light of this, it can be said that an effective systems of risk
assessment and management for construction industry remains a challenging task
for the industry practitioners. The aim of the this research is to identify and evaluate
current risks and uncertainties in the construction industry through extensive
literature survey and aims to make a basis for future studies for development of a
risk management framework to be adopted by prospective investors, developers and
contractors

Risk Driven Approach to Test Device Softwareijtsrd
Software testing is one of the most crucial testings in the software development process. Software testing should be scheduled and managed very effectively. The risk is the situation that has not occurred yet and may not occur in the future as well. After looking at this definition, risks can refer to the probability of the failure for a particular project. Risk based testing is the type of testing that is based on the priority and importance of the software that has to be tested. In this research work, the new technique to test the device software has been proposed using the JAVA language. The new system is able to test the software based on various risks and provide alternatives based on that the risk can be reduced in the future. It also calculates the updated cost and duration required to complete the software when a risk has occurred. The proposed application is able to provide efficient and accurate results in terms of entered risks on the device software. In the future, the software can be used to test the device software for more number of risks to make it more suitable as per the user's requirements.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

12. CHALLENGES OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
1. Workplace Ethics and Integrity Issues
Poor business and workplace ethics can be hazardous to job security
Staying clear of those who ask to compromise with integrity
In some cases, these issues need to be reported to the supervisor, human resources, or
legal representatives
2. New to the work place:
Making mistakes and fitting in are very obvious challenges
Eliminated by figuring out how to be part of a new work culture
Good attitude, manners, and work habits will show that you are a professional.
3. Inadequate risk management
Having the foresight to identify potential ‘what if’ scenarios
Having a contingency plan in place is critical.
9/12/2023 Department of Geomatics Engineering 12
13. CONCLUSION
Provides oversight of safety practices, ensures that a site is in compliance with relevant regulations
and laws, and saves lives by fostering a strong safety culture
Encompasses not only formal safety terms, but also the safety of ultimately gaining confidence in
every mind, safety for everyone, dedication in every heart, improvement in every activity, and a
smile on every face, all of which result in project efficiency.
In the project, we should fully understand the common safety problems, and take effective
measures to solve these problems, to ensure that the production activities can be carried out safely
and steadily, while ensuring the quality and promoting the sustainable development of project
