Behavior-Based Safety In Construction, Purdue Ect Team
Behavior-Based Safety In Construction, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets Archive
Behavior-based safety approach that was introduced into the United States in 1930's and has been popular in manufacturing area since 1980's assumes that many of injuries and illnesses are the result of unsafe acts by workers. Behavior-based safety is a proactive approach to increasing safety in the workplace and in the community. It is based on sound, research-based, and behavioral practices, and are easy to use with minimal training.
Delmia Safework®Pro™ : Human Modeling, Purdue Ect Team
Delmia Safework®Pro™ : Human Modeling, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets Archive
Manufacturers and designers strive to develop products that conform to all relevant Health and Safety standards and are "user-friendly" while still maximizing the productivity of their own workforce. Digital human modeling technology can assist a designer to determine the performance of people in the context of a workplace or a product before it exists and throughout its entire lifecycle. SAFEWORK’S accurate manikin has the highest number of Anthropometric Variables (104), Segments (99) and Degrees of Freedom (149). It also has fully articulated spine & hand models as well as joints with coupled range of motion. Moreover, it’s unique Multivariate Algorithm …
Cranium: Device For Improving Crane Productivity And Safety, Purdue Ect Team
Cranium: Device For Improving Crane Productivity And Safety, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets Archive
Cranes are the most important pieces of equipment on many construction sites. CRANIUM is a video system designed to improve productivity and safety of crane operations by improving communications. A video camera mounted on the crane bottom transmits an image to the television monitor in the crane cab. The operator has a real-time picture of the loads and craftsmen that might otherwise be out of the direct line of sight.
Safe Excavation, Purdue Ect Team
Safe Excavation, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets Archive
Excavating with a backhoe or similar equipment has the potential risk of hitting an underground utility which could cause serious injuries and expensive damages. An electronic device that provides a real-time warning of the utility lines immediately ahead of the digging tool and provides an easily interpreted, real-time computer readout of the depth, location, and size buried metallic objects. Developed by Dr. Leonhard E. Bernold, it consists of an active metal detector search coil; a signal processing (control) unit; and a PC computer equipped with an analog-to-digital converter interface.
Safety Behaviour In The Construction Industry, Nick Macdonald, Victor Hrymak
Safety Behaviour In The Construction Industry, Nick Macdonald, Victor Hrymak
Reports
The influences on safety standards and employee safety behaviour was analysed on 18 large construction sites on the island of Ireland. The safety management and documentation of these sites was also analysed. The results are discussed at length together with comprehensive recommendations for the industry.
