This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a case-control study of UK compressed air workers in which subjects with repetitive decompression sickness (DCS) during a single compressed air project were matched up to two control groups. Further to this ,an analysis of the Health and safety Executive (HSE) decompression database 1986-2000 was undertaken to examine the relative contribution of those workers with repetitive DCS to the overall number of DCS episodes in the UK during the study period. It is recognised within the tunnelling industry that some individuals are apparently "bend prone" and others apparently "bend proof", often with no clear link between bend vulnerability and age, obesity or lifestyle. Examines whether a correlation could exist with human factors and seeks to determine if repetitive DCS could be associated with any particular compressed air contract or project characteristics..

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Decompression sickness and dysbaric osteonecrosis in a compressed air tunnelling project in Hong Kong" Submitted by Dr. Tai Hing LAM for the degree of Doctor of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong in July 1988. This thesis is concerned with the application of epidemiology to the study of health and morbidity experience of compressed air workers. The study was both descriptive and analytical and the results should have practical implications for the provision of occupational health services and prevention of morbidity for this group of workers. In the largest compressed air tunnelling project of the Island Line of the Mass Transit Railway System in Hong Kong, 1916 men had an initial medical examination for fitness to work in compressed air. There were 367 men who were declared unfit for employment resulting in an unfit rate of 19.2%. The major disqualifying conditions were lung and cardiovascular diseases. Compressed air work started in October 1982 and ended in May 1984. The maximum working pressure (m.w.p.) used was 3.3 kg/cm2. The Blackpool Tables were used for decompressions. There were 142,140 man-decompressions of 1 kg/cm2 or above and 792 cases of Type I and one case of Type II decompression sickness. The bends rate was 0.56%. The bends rate wasfound to increase with m.w.p. and duration of exposure showing that the Blackpool Tables although satisfactory overall, became less physiologic as pressure and duration of exposure increased. The manifestations of the 793 cases of decompression sickness were generally similar to those reported elsewhere. Oxygen treatment was given to 9 'cases and all were successfully treated. Minimum Effective Pressure Treatment was given to the rest with 9.6% requiring two or more recompressions. Stepwise multiple regression showed that there were four predictors for the pressure of relief and the highest pressure used in recompression respectively, viz. m.w.p., interval before treatment, bends sequence and duration of exposure. The relative risk of new starters in having decompression sickness was 3.69. The individual risk factors for decompression sickness (presence or absence), as shown by logistic regression were m.w.p., number of exposures, past number of bends, job (being a miner) and Quetelet Index. Stepwise multiple regression revealed five predictor variables for the number of bends experienced, viz. ethnicity, m.w.p., Quetelet Index, number of exposures and past number of bends. A total of 912 men had radiological examination of the major joints and 12 definite and 30 suspected cases of dysbaric osteonecrosis were detected. The overall prevalence of definite cases was 1.3% and the prevalence of definite and suspected cases together was4.6%. The distribution of the lesions was symmetrical and 43.1% of the lesions were juxta-articular. All the men with the lesions were asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. The risk factors for osteonecrosis were studied by including definite and suspected cases. Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of bends ever experienced, the number of hours of work in compressed air in the present contract and age were the three most important risk factors. The finding that those men with more bends had a higher risk of osteonecrosis suggested that measures to reduce bends would also have the effect of reducing osteonecrosis. The incidence of decompression

Book Synopsis A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis by : Douglas A. Wiegmann
Download or read book A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis written by Douglas A. Wiegmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S. Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors. In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.

Book excerpt: This document of unknown origin provides Information on decompression for tunnel workers exposed to compressed air. Decompression illness (also called the "bend, ""air pains" and "caisson disease") occurs when a tunnel workers undergoes decompression too quickly -- such as would occur if he were to suddenly leave the enclosed compressed air work area in the tunnel and go above ground where the air pressure is normal. Prevention tips and guidelines for workers are outlined.

Download or read book Human Performance and Limitations in Aviation written by R. D. Campbell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, andit is widely agreed that a better understanding of humancapabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological -would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. This book was first published when the UK Civil AviationAuthority introduced an examination in human performance andlimitations for all private and professional pilot licences. Nowthe Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe have published a newsyllabus as part of their Joint Aviation Requirements for FlightCrew Licensing. The book has been completely revised and rewritten to takeaccount of the new syllabus. The coverage of basic aviationpsychology has been greatly expanded, and the section on aviationphysiology now includes topics on the high altitude environment andon health maintenance. Throughout, the text avoids excessive jargonand technical language. "There is no doubt that this book provides an excellent basicunderstanding of the human body, its limitations, the psychologicalprocesses and how they interact with the aviation environment. I amcurrently studying for my ATPL Ground Exams and I found this bookto be an invaluable aid. It is equally useful for those studyingfor the PPL and for all pilots who would like to be reminded oftheir physiological and psychological limitations." –General Aviation, June 2002
