We've come a long way promoting industrial and construction safety, but that does not mean there isn't room to improve - and lots of it.Vawn Jeddry, who has developed safety policies, processes, and procedures for industrial and mining professionals throughout the world, examines how to reduce incidents in this book.She proposes that finding the balance between safety and productivity starts with each and every member of the team being self-aware. That means understanding how choices and behavior are influenced and how to make better decisions.In clear language, she explains how to:¿ engage people on a personal level and lead them to successful outcomes;¿ identify safety traps that trip up individuals and organizations;¿ understand what motivates people to take risks.With graphs and analysis, the author also explores how workplace incidents and injuries have gone down over time and whether it's possible to achieve zero loss, which means no loss of people, equipment, the environment or reputation as the result of an incident.

This book addresses the two major issues faced by the modern steel industry: CO2 emissions and energy consumption. The steel industry accounts for 6.7% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions and consumes 6% of the total energy consumed in manufacturing. In response to these critical issues, a new technology called flash ironmaking has been developed, aimed at producing iron directly from iron ore concentrate using gaseous reductants/fuels such as natural gas or hydrogen. This ironmaking technology takes advantage of the rapid reaction rate of fine particles and bypasses the palletization process. This book discusses the principles of flash ironmaking, laboratory experiments, and design and operation of a prototype flash reactor. Provides theories and principles of ironmaking and a novel ironmaking technologyIncludes laboratory experiments to establish the kinetic feasibility of flash ironmakingCovers the design and operation of a prototype flash reactor as well as the design of industrial-size flash ironmaking reactorsDescribes various cases of flow sheet development, which forms the basis for process analysis and simulationPresents economic analysis case studiesPresenting a novel technology that addresses contemporary issues facing one of the largest manufacturing industries, this book is aimed at professionals and researchers in metallurgy, materials engineering, manufacturing engineering, and related disciplines.

Sustainability and Toxicity of Building Materials: Manufacture, Use and Disposal Stages provides a review of toxicity impacts from building materials, including the consideration of the toxicity in the extraction and manufacture of the materials and eventual dismantling and disposal. This book also offers the potential to stimulate future developments in this area, both in terms of knowledge-building and methods for future research. With the increasing emphasis on sustainable construction, it has become important to better understand the impacts of common materials. Civil and structural engineers, postgraduates, researchers as well as architects will find this book to be useful in selecting sustainable building materials.While many building and furnishing materials are safe to use, in recent decades, some have had to be redesigned due to recognition that they contained problem chemicals like formaldehyde. Unfortunately, there is still limited understanding of the toxic impacts of many synthetic chemicals which means that the risks in this area are not well recognized. With increasing interest in using limited resources more sustainably, definitions of what is sustainable should be expanded to move from the focus on energy and carbon impacts to also include more explicit consideration of toxicity impacts.
Most business leaders trace their journeys on their balance sheet level, counting how their profits have grown under their business acumen and the speed with which they accumulate fame, fortune and sometimes a cult of personality. With ethics and social and environmental concern are at the core of their vision and mission, the Pennar group stands tall among manufacturing companies in India. The founder, Nrupendar Rao, never saw balance sheet as the right metrics to measure success and instead focused on building a conscious business, a rare practice in his industry. Forging Mettle is the story of how Nrupendar took a different approach to business and life and showed others that profits are possible without chasing numbers. Written by seasoned journalist Pavan Lall, the book presents a unique perspective on business and social responsibility.
"The construction trades once provided unionized craftsmen a route to the middle class and a sense of pride and dignity often denied other blue-collar workers. Today, union members still earn wages and benefits that compare favorably to those of college graduates. But as union strength has declined over the last fifty years, a growing non-union sector offers lower compensation and more hazardous conditions, undermining the earlier tradition of upward mobility. Revitalization of the industry depends on unions shedding past racial and gender discriminatory practices, embracing organizing, diversity, and the new immigrant workforce, and preparing for technological changes. Mark Erlich blends long-view history with his personal experience inside the building trades to explain one of our economy's least understood sectors. Erlich's multifaceted account includes the dynamics of the industry, the backdrop of union policies, and powerful stories of everyday life inside the trades. He offers a much-needed overview of construction's past and present while exploring roads to the future"--
