Human Factors (HF) covers a variety of issues that relate primarily to the individual and workforce, their behavior and attributes. Human error is still poorly understood by many stakeholders and so the risk assessments of operations or process often fall short in their capture of potential failures. There is little consideration of human factors in the engineering design of equipment, operating systems and the overall process, procedures and specific work tasks. Operational human factor issues are often treated on an ad-hoc basis in response to individual situations rather than as part of an overarching and comprehensive safety management strategy. The role that human factors play in the rate of incidents, equipment failure and hydrocarbon releases is poorly understood and underdeveloped.
A Keynote speech by Dr Domininc Cooper CFIOSH C.Psychol examining the 'true' success factors of Behavior-Based Safety from the 1970's to the present day.
Behavio-Based Safety is still evolving to the point where it is effective in all workplaces, all of the time. Many implementations have been successful, but many have failed or faded away over the years. What can we learn from the past and the present to optimize future BBS implementations for the good of all? This tour of BBS examines the evolution of BBS, implementation strategies, and remaining challenges. Issues to be addressed include (but are not limited to):
[1 Where BBS fits in an organizations Safety Culture
[2] Who owns BBS?
[3] The role of employees and managers
[4] BBS design Issues
[5] Integrating BBS into mainstream safety management systems
• Define the concept of culture and its impact on individuals, groups and organizations.
• Describe the various cultures that impact individuals, such as national, professional and organizational culture and explain the difference between them.
• Understand and explain the importance of a positive organizational culture for the success of the safety management system.

For each inspection, the operator's name and date are recorded along with any remarks.
This document discusses industrial worker safety. It outlines various types of industrial accidents such as construction, mining, fires, and electrical accidents. Common causes of accidents are worker fault, poor safety systems, unskilled machine operation, and neglecting safety procedures. The document recommends following safety procedures, using proper safety signs and personal protective equipment to reduce accidents. Ensuring worker safety reduces injuries, risk, and property loss while improving the work environment.
Arrangements for management of the different conditions brought about by night works or what assessments will be undertaken to ensure this can be conducted safely. Detail should also include shift patterns and management of worker fatigue.
Working at night poses a serious safety risk for
highway & construction workers. Those who work
at night are at a higher risk for injury because of:
• Reduced visibility for Equipment and other
vehicle drivers.
• Reduced visibility for workers.
• Lack of communication between shifts
• Increased number of impaired or drowsy drivers
• Sleep deprivation for workers
This document provides requirements and guidelines for overhead crane safety inspections.

This document discusses safety culture and how to measure and improve it. It defines safety culture as how people think, believe, intend and behave regarding safety. Developing a strong safety culture can sustain safe behaviors because people want it and believe in it. There are four pillars to measure safety culture: technical capability, management infrastructure, people mindset, and leadership. Methods to measure include document review, interviews, surveys, and observations. Measuring safety culture identifies areas for improvement and encourages continuous progress. The document outlines four options to improve safety culture: conducting a safety culture survey, a full diagnostic, a cultural improvement program, and ensuring sustainability of gains.

Incident Investigation “Working to Prevent Recurrence“Mario Deshaies
An incident investigation training presentation covered the following key points:
- Incident investigations aim to identify causal factors to prevent future occurrences, not assign blame. The process involves fact-finding, interviews, analyzing contributing physical, human, and system failures using a "why tree" approach.
- Recommendations target systemic improvements like training, procedures, inspections, rather than individual factors. Near misses also warrant investigation to drive continuous improvement.
- A sample incident of an employee falling from scaffolding during maintenance identified causal factors like incomplete guardrails and plank, inadequate scaffold builder training, and lack of inspection programs. Recommendations included training, replacing defective equipment, and establishing safety programs.
Is Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) right for you?Nancy Regan
This presentation outlines the goals of a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis. It debunks the top misconceptions about RCM. And it poses and answers the top four questions about RCM most people don’t know to ask.
The Hawk's Nest Tunnel tragedy in West Virginia in the 1930s drew national attention to occupational health issues. During construction of a tunnel through silica-rich soil, over 700 workers contracted silicosis from inhaling silica dust and over 400 died. This tragedy highlighted the need for protections against respiratory hazards and spurred the first National Silicosis Conference in 1936. Major workplace disasters have often accelerated the safety movement by revealing deficiencies in protections and leading to new regulations.
Presents the core features of how to create a Behavioral Safety process. The process is customizable to suit any type of industry / location and is based on a 20 year track record of success on 5 continents.

The document discusses human factor analysis and accident causation. It describes several models for analyzing accidents, including the human factors model which views accidents as resulting from interactions between humans, machines, environments and tasks. The document also discusses how human factors like attitudes, motivation, fatigue and organizational culture can influence safety. It provides examples of root causes identified in past accidents, such as inadequate training, procedures, communication and hazard awareness.
The document summarizes a case study for maintenance planning and reliability centered failure analysis (RCFA) for a centrifugal fan in a dust removal system. Key points:
1) The fan experiences the highest monthly downtime (54.9 hours) which costs $250,000 in lost production monthly.
2) Vibration analysis revealed the fan blade is unbalanced and bearings are failing, which are the top two causes of downtime.
3) A preventive maintenance program is proposed including daily vibration monitoring, weekly balancing, and monthly bearing replacement to reduce downtime to 10.25 hours per month, saving $203,400 in production losses.
The document discusses performance-based safety measurement and management. It provides examples of leading and trailing indicators that can be used to measure safety performance. Leading indicators measure proactive elements of a safety system like training, inspections, audits. Trailing indicators measure outcomes like injuries and accidents. A balanced set of metrics is recommended to fully evaluate safety. Establishing clear objectives, regular monitoring and using data to drive improvement are key aspects of an effective performance-based safety management system.

A seven-step process for conducting observations is also detailed, covering approaching employees, discussing hazards, agreeing on safer work methods, and documenting the interaction. The goals of the program are to increase hazard awareness and develop safer practices among employees.
NIOSH Heavy Equipment Blind Spots and Internal Traffic ControlJustin Tolpa, CSP
This document summarizes NIOSH research on blind spots around heavy construction equipment and internal traffic control plans. It reports that over 900 worker deaths from 1992-2000 were vehicle-related in work zones. Studies evaluated proximity warning systems, measured blind areas, and developed GPS and video methods. Guidelines for internal traffic control plans aim to limit worker exposure to vehicles by coordinating equipment movement and establishing pedestrian-free zones. Case studies investigated fatalities to identify interventions like redesigning traffic patterns.
This document provides guidance on conducting effective workplace safety inspections. It discusses that inspections help maintain a safe work environment by identifying and controlling unsafe conditions and acts. The inspection process involves identifying hazards through inspection of the entire indoor and outdoor work areas, implementing controls, and documenting findings and corrective actions. All agencies are required to conduct inspections using checklists, and hazards found should be corrected as soon as possible. Effective inspections reinforce safety and encourage a safe workplace.

What is Depreciation
Depreciation is the amount of money you can “write-off” (claim as expensed or used up) against the value of any assets used in the course of producing assessable income.
In the case of property investors, investors may offset their taxable income against expenditure on plant and equipment used to produce assessable income.
Plant and Equipment includes items such as Ovens, Dishwashers, Carpets Blinds, Lifts, etc. The ATO provides specific guidelines as to how these write-offs are to occur.
Who Can claim the Depreciation?
Depreciation can be claimed by the owner of the Plant and Equipment, the one who is earning income from the use of these items.
Starting the 1st of January 2012, buildings built before 31st December 2003 are required to have an Asbestos Register and Signage. Previously these requirements were prior to 1990, an Asbestos Register was required to be on site.

• The workplace is a building that was constructed before 31 December 2003 •
The register should be reviewed at least once every five years to ensure it is kept up-to-date.
This document is a 15-year sinking fund forecast for a villa apartment building. It outlines projected annual maintenance costs and income from levies.

Depreciation is an amount that can be written off or claimed as an expense against taxable income from assets used to produce income. For property investors, depreciation can be claimed for plant and equipment like appliances, flooring, and lifts. Only owners of the assets earning income from their use can claim depreciation. It is recommended to have an independent professional prepare the depreciation schedule to enhance the legitimacy of claims and avoid heavy fines, as self-prepared schedules carrying incorrect information go against ATO rulings.
CHANGES TO YOUR OBLIGATIONS TO MANAGE SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
The WHS Act requires all persons who conduct a business or undertaking to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that workers and other persons are not put at risk from work carried out as part of the business or undertaking. The WHS Regulations include specific obligations to manage and control Risks and asbestos at the workplace.
In some cases, there may be more than one person with management or control of a workplace for example:
• A person with management of a workplace is a tenant, and
• A person with control of a workplace has the power to make decisions and changes to the structure and use of the workplace..
The document discusses the importance of establishing a reserve fund for strata and commercial buildings. It provides 4 case studies as examples of issues that arose when buildings did not have adequate reserve funds. Case Study 1 describes a complex with numerous maintenance issues due to being unmaintained for 20 years. Case Study 2 discusses power pole damage that was mismanaged, costing $5000 to replace. Case Study 3 highlights lift repairs costing $500,000 that were not planned for. Case Study 4 details an asbestos roof replacement costing $50,000 required by the insurer. The document stresses that a reserve fund can minimize financial impacts on owners when unexpected costs arise.
