Y surgió la idea pensando en la posibilidad de ofrecer un lugar donde los profesionales de la seguridad y salud laboral pudiesen acudir en busca de recursos necesarios para el desarrollo de su profesión. (...)
Labor que no es otra, que en la medida en que se pueda, fomentar la seguridad y salud laboral en aras de un trabajo seguro.
The School of Safety Science is the largest and most research intensive University Department in Australia which focuses on safety, the environment, and general risk management. We offer undergraduate and postgraduate coursework and research degrees. Students range from school leavers in the Safety Science Major of the BSc to senior managers undertaking a postgraduate coursework degree. We also have students with significant experience working in safety or risk management related professions but no limited paper qualifications studying for their first professional qualification.Havemos de lá chegar...
El departamento de Treball está preparando ya la publicación de la llamada lista negra de la siniestralidadAlgumas reacções negativas fizeram-se já sentir:
laboral. En esta relación aparecerán las empresas a las que se hayan impuesto sanciones muy graves de carácter firme.
Los promotores y constructores han manifestado su oposición a la publicación de listas de empresas con accidentes.Porque será?
In 1938, the US Department of Labor released this film aimed at preventing the occupational disease of silicosis. That overexposure to silica dust caused this deadly disease had been known for more than 100 years, but many employers ignored workplace dust control methods. Sadly, almost 70 years later, hundreds of workers each year still develop this preventable lung disease. The current OSHA exposure limit for silica dust is based on science from the mid 1960s. Most of the information and prevention measures in this film are still relevant today.Asbestos A Matter of Time: Um outro excelente filme foi criado em 1959, pelo US Department of Mines e é sobre o amianto. Muitas das coisas que aborda continuam, infelizmente, muito actuais. Quase 50 anos depois!!!
This 1959 film by the Bureau of Mines (US Department of the Interior.) describes how asbestos is mined and processed and the significant role it plays in our lives. Using diagrams and on location shooting, both open pit and block carving methods of mining asbestos are described, followed by a detailed examination of how the fiber is milled and undergoes its change from crude ore to refined fiber. The remainder of the film deals with the numerous ways this versatile mineral enhances our daily lives, from roofing materials to automobile brake linings. Note several mentions of dust control, but no specific mention of the occupational asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma, diseases caused by inhaling asbestos dust. Asbestos manufacturers knew of these diseases by the 1930s. For more information, go to the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) website.
Mais uma vez, ambas as referências chegaram-me através da Safety List. É um extraordinário recurso. Num próximo post, publicarei mais 2 filmes.
Today, December 12, is the 17th anniversary of the SAFETY list. On December 12, 1989, the first message went to the list, an e-mail (entitled "test") that would now be considered spam, but was a little miracle back then. Since then, the list, the Internet and the EHS profession itself have grown in many different ways, almost all positive. I would like to thank everyone who has participated any of the aspects of this growth, whether for 17 years (I believe there are a few of you still out there) or 17 days. As always, Thanks for your interest in SAFETY! - Ralph
España representa el 20% de los accidentes de trabajo de toda la Unión Europea y ocupa el primer puesto en términos de siniestralidad laboral.
