Workplace Safety - Making the Transition from Startup to Normal Operations - When taking an activity from design to the completion of construction, the transition period between startup and normal operations is critical. This article reviews actions that an SH&E professional should consider during the startup phase of a new activity. Even a relatively simple operation may need startup controls when new procedures are involved. The same concepts apply to restarting an existing activity that has been idle for an extended period.Stalnaker, C.Keith et al. | 2002

Training - Emergency Response Training: How to Plan, Conduct & Evaluate for Success - When an emergency occurs, will your employees be ready to respond? That's a question facing most companies today -- And without effective emergency response training, the answer will likely be no. This article examines important issues related to preparing, conducting and evaluating emergency response training. It details key steps in the process, from evaluating needs and developing objectives, to preparing, revising and conducting training, to evaluating its effectiveness.Schroll, R.Craig et al. | 2002

Ergonomics - Getting a Grip on Grip Force Estimates: A Valuable Tool for Ergonomic Evaluations - MSDs have become a substantial loss source in industry. Factors in their development include forceful and repetitive hand motions. In this limited study, subjects were asked to estimate the grip force needed to perform specific tasks. Based on the results, the authors provide some insight into what factors may influence these estimates and how SH&E practitioners can use this information to analyze jobs and develop ergonomic recommendations.Casey, Jeffrey S. et al. | 2002

State of Safety - Time to Transform? Assessing the Future of the SH&E Profession - Although many companies have improved their safety performance, annual fatal occupational injuries and WC costs remain high. Despite these disturbing trends, SH&E practitioners remain on the fringe of the corporate management team. The author argues that the "current state of safety" needs to be transformed. This article explores warning signs for the profession, dissects current topics and recommends ways to transform the profession.Hill, Darryl C. et al. | 2002

Business of Safety - Financial Management Concepts: Making the Bottom-Line Case for Safety - To work more effectively with accounting, finance and marketing professionals, SH&E professionals must become better versed in the common language of business. To convincingly demonstrate that safety can positively impact the bottom line, safety managers must also be able to provide actual examples of savings generated by safety efforts.Adams, Shawn J. et al. | 2002

People-Based Safety - Social Influence Principles: Fueling Participation in Occupational Safety - People are social animals. Social relationships define who we are, how we feel and how to get what we want. Consequently, our participation in occupational safety is facilitated (or inhibited) by the social relationships in a work culture. The challenge of developing the interdependent relationships needed to achieve an injury-free workplace is dependent on seven social influence principles.Scott Geller, E. et al. | 2002

Special Populations - Safety and the Silver Collar Worker: Are Older Workers Considered in Program Development? - The aging of baby boomers, reduced birth rates during the 1960s and 1970s, and postponement of retirement has transformed the country's labor force. As a result, attempts to prevent on-the-job injuries must account for the higher costs of injuries suffered by older workers. The authors present the results of a retrospective study, undertaken at a nuclear D&D project, that examined the relationship between age, injury frequency and injury severity.Findley, Michael E. et al. | 2002

But safety currently has no centralized database of its relevant evidence. To address this need, the author calls for systematic review of what is known and publication of those reviews for critical appreciation as well as practical implementation of what is known rather than what is supposed.Metzgar, Carl R. et al. | 2002
