Arbejdsmiljø og arbejdssikkerhed

Creating a great safety program for an organization does not happen accidentally. Unfortunately, many safety professionals have attempted to correct a poor safety program by attacking the undesired outcomes. This approach is akin to putting band-aids on an infection. The problem seems to be covered and dealt with, but there has been nothing done to correct the cause of the problem. Creating Symbiotic Safety will help the safety professional understand that safety issues are the outcome of the process. Therefore, if you want to change the results - change the process. By understanding the motivations of executives, management, and employees, a system can be modified to align the goals and motives of each level toward having safety become the natural outcome. This proven method will help you achieve a thriving safety culture within one year!This is Todd C. Smith's and John Brattlof's second book on construction safety. The goal is to equip construction companies with the ability to maintain a safe work environment that contributes positively to the financial needs of the project. Creating Symbiotic Safety describes everything necessary for addressing all the elements of safety on the jobsite.Todd C. Smith entered construction safety in 2005 after serving in the 82nd Airborne Division's, 313th Military Intelligence Battalion's Training Manager and then a Spanish Language Instructor at the University of Texas-San Antonio and the University of Texas-Austin, where he received the Teaching Excellence Award. Todd spent 15 years as the Safety Director for a commercial painting contractor with 100 employees. Todd has also been on the faculty of the Austin Community College's Building Construction Technology Department, where he has been teaching courses in Construction Safety since 2016. In June of 2021, Todd became the Vice President of Safety and HR for BCS Concrete Structures. He has implemented a monthly job site inspection competition, an emerging leaders program, an extensive safety training incentive program, and a company Safety Rodeo. He is currently serving as the Central Texas Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors Safety Committee Co-Chairman and the Co-Chairman of the ASSP Construction Practice Specialty Practice with co-author John Brattlof. John Brattlof entered the construction safety world in 1993 in the Houston industrial market with a large petrochemical construction firm, S&B Engineers and Constructors, Inc. In his role as Health and Safety Coordinator, John was a part of many large industrial projects throughout Texas. His primary roles included project safety management, employee training, and health monitoring program development and implementation. He provided a variety of safety training programs to over 10,000 people during his tenure with S&B. During this time, John also provided OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Construction Outreach Training and the 100 Hour Construction Site Safety Technician Course for the Houston Chapter of ABC. Since relocating to Austin in 2000, John has held the position of Corporate Safety Director for White Construction Company. In this role, John has held the responsibility for all program development and implementation, including the training of employees. In 2001, he successfully negotiated the first ABC / OSHA Partnership in Texas (still active today). With ABC, John has been able to work with the co-presenter, Todd Smith, to develop and teach the Construction Leadership Development Program. Todd and John also formed the Central Texas Chapter of ASSP's Construction Practice Specialty Group in 2017. They garnered participation from the OSHA Area Director to join as co-sponsors on the inaugural Central Texas Construction Safety Summit.

Plastic piping is now the preferred material in countless applications - municipal water and sewer lines, drain/waste/vent lines, and chemical waste drainage, to mention just a few - because plastics are durable, easy and safe to install, environmentally sound, and cost-effective. This compendium of over 40 articles is written by a professional involved in plastic fluid handling products for over 45 years. Divided into three general areas, this unique resource promotes the use of plastics in general and plastic piping systems, in particular. The articles include listings of the major advantages of plastics plus descriptions of the many varied piping products and markets served by thermoplastic piping systems. It is certain to be an eye-opener and educational tool for the experienced and novice designing and specifying engineer, installer, end-user, code official, purchasing agent, and engineering student. It provides access to the major reasons synthetically made organic chemicals (plastics) has had such a meteoric rise in usage since its inception in 1907. It is the only book encompassing articles, in one source, featuring the history of plastics coupled with background knowledge on the design, features, growth and usage of thermoplastic piping systems. It addresses Green Building in an article which documents 16 different plastic piping technologies discussed in detail and accompanied by an Appendix highlighting the features and benefits of various plastic piping materials.

Drømme og støv starter med at fortælle om en faglig blokade på en byggeplads ved Den kongelige Mønt. Konflikten mellem de danske bygningsarbejdere, der blokerede pladsen, og de polske bygningsarbejdere inde på pladsen blev hurtigt bitter og personlig. Den økonomiske krise havde netop ramt verden, og for bygningsarbejderne på hver side af belejringen handler kampen ikke om teoretiske begreber som ‘arbejdskraftens frie bevægelighed’ og ‘den danske model’, men om hvem der fremover ville kunne forsørge sin familie ved at arbejde som bygningsarbejdere i Danmark. Forfatteren ender med at stå med våben i hænderne over for en lige så velbevæbnet polsk kollega. Det er bl.a. den oplevelse, der har fået forfatteren til at lede efter nye og mere globale strategier, der vil gøre det muligt for den danske og den polske håndværker at stå side om side ved den næste blokade.

Occupational health and safety refers to the whole series of prevention measures and protection, technical measures, organisational solutions, and procedures that must be adopted by the employer to avoid dangerous situations for their employees. While it is true that total security exists in the absence of dangers, and this is a difficult concept to translate into real life, in the absolute sense, it is also true that the application of safety rules makes the occurrence of adverse events and incidents more difficult, and it always results in a better quality of life. Each analytical laboratory should provide its own "Good Laboratory Practices" and procedures must be the result of the experience and must be known, correctly interpreted, shared, and respected by all the staff of laboratory. The idea of creating a manual on occupational health risks in a chemical and biological analysis laboratory derives from the need to provide technical support for the various figures involved in activities requiring the safe use of chemical and biological agents in lab analysis. The purpose of this work is to provide workers with more detailed information on the main possible causes of risk in an analysis laboratory, as well as on the most appropriate means of individual and collective protection to be used at work. The manual also gives an overview of main laboratory safety standards pertaining to clothing and equipment as well as procedures and lab design. This manual can be a valuable approach to knowledge of laboratory risks in order to eliminate or at least minimise them. Finally, the handbook can also be a support to the drafting of internal safety standards, both for general and specific procedures.

Alt for mange resultater fra arbejdsmiljøforskningen går tabt i formidlingen fra forsker til bruger. Undersøgelser bliver sjældent brugt optimalt, når der efterfølgende skal tages politiske beslutninger. Ligeledes dikterer politisk pres og mediehistorier, hvad der skal forskes i. Det er spild af det offentliges penge. Seniorforsker Per Malmros stiller skarpt på problemet i denne bog.Der mangler metoder og arbejdsgange for ’fordøjelsen’ af forskningsresultaterne, herunder hvordan vi implementerer dem i politiske beslutninger og i praksis eller hvordan vi kan drage nytte af den eventuelle effekt.Over de seneste ti år er der samlet set brugt mere end 750 mio. kr. på forskning i arbejdsmiljø, så vi har brug for at se nærmere på, hvordan det samlede system fungerer.Per Malmros bruger bl.a. kviksølvsagen fra 2005 som eksempel. Her pressede især HK på for at få undersøgt, om en gruppe klinikassistenter havde fået senfølger efter arbejde med kviksølv. Forskerne mente ud fra den eksisterende forskning, at senfølger af dette omfang ikke kunne skyldes kviksølv. Rege­ringen følte sig dog presset og satte gang i en forskningsbaseret undersøgelse. 3,5 år og 10 mio. kr. senere gav de nye resultater forskerne ret i deres første vurdering.Bogen rusker op i både forskerkredse og blandt brugere af forskningen såsom politikere og medier, der ofte blæser enkeltsager op uden at lytte til eksperterne på området.Per Malmros er cand.scient. i biologi. Han har beskæftiget sig med arbejdsmiljø siden 1980 som bl.a. forsker, embedsmand, konsulent og kontorchef. I dag er han seniorforsker på Arbejds- og Miljømedicinsk Afdeling på Bispebjerg Hospital.
