Road safety is a major concern in today's world, and the use of helmets while driving two-wheelers is an important measureto reduce the risk of head injuries. The identification of vehicles through their number plates is an important aspect of law enforcement. In this paper, we propose an automatic helmet and dirty number plate identification using computer vision techniques and deep learning. The system employs object detection algorithms to detect helmets and number plates in real-time images captured by a camera. The proposed system can accurately detect the presence or absence of helmets on riders and read the number plates of vehicles. The system'seffectiveness was demonstrated through experiments on a large dataset of images, and the results showed that the proposed system achieves high accuracy and fast processing speed. The proposed system has the potential to be integrated into existing traffic surveillance systems to improve road safety and law enforcement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bird strike impact is a phenomenon when a flying bird crashes into an aircraft so that it can result in damage to the structure of the aircraft. This event usually disrupts the take off or landing phase of an aircraft and can damage several components such as the windshield, wings, engine, and tail. numerical simulations were carried out using the Finite Element Method for bird impact testing on a horizontal tail with reference to Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) part 25. Birds will be modeled as impactors with a hemispherical-tipped cylindrical shape and weighs 8 pounds and has a density of 950 kg/mm3. The horizontal tail as the target will be modeled as a half span complete with front and rear spars, skin, and ribs, with the root chord connected to the rig that will be fixed. From this study, it was found that the design of the test rig article was sufficient to withstand the weight of a bird strike. In addition, it was also found that the thickness and position of the bird strike had a significant effect on the deformation and reaction forces of the structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An essential condition for the successful functioning of the system of protection of the population and territories of the state is to build an effective strategy for managing the risks of emergencies and its implementation in order to increase the readiness and efficiency of a unified state civil protection system. In modern conditions, the strategy has been an integral part of risk management in almost all developed countries. Issues of state security in general, security in emergencies (ES), including the management of this security have recently been considered as a strategic task of the state. The Civil Protection Code of Ukraine stipulates [1] that civil protection is a function of the state to protect the population and territories from emergencies by preventing such situations, eliminating their consequences in peacetime and in special periods and is carried out on the principle of maximum, economically justified risk reduction occurrence of an emergency. Therefore, one of the priority areas of development of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine is the introduction of an effective system of emergency prevention to reduce deaths. The Civil Protection Code of Ukraine defines the term of emergency prevention as a set of legal, socio-economic, political, organizational and technical, sanitary and hygienic and other measures aimed at performing such basic tasks as risk assessment, safety regulation, early response to emergencies. Therefore, the scientific substantiation of the mechanism for assessing the risks of emergencies is a problematic issue, especially taking into account the effect of the accumulation of damage.

Events at fire-making plants pose a serious hazard to society because of their terrible consequences. Several mishaps have been documented in Indian fireworks production facilities during production, packaging, and shipment. The majority of fatal fire works accidents occur in the loading and blending stages. Mistakes are determined to be caused mostly by mechanical factors and chemical reactions. All of the workshops, seminars, plans, regulations and signs posted on the wall for safety regulations will be insignificant if there is not a culture of safety instilled in fireworks factories and fireworks communities. This can especially be an issue in countries where a majority of workers have only had access to basic levels of education and training. BBS is one technique to dealing with workers risk concerns that has proven to be beneficial. A company's organizational culture, or corporate culture, is created in large by its employee's attitudes and beliefs. This holds true for any company, including fireworks factories. The correct and continuous attitude towards safety is critical to prevent incidents. The development of habits to identify safety and risky behaviors on site could result in the long term in a greater culture of workplace safety. This paper discusses workplace strategies to measure attitudes towards safety by performing "Antecedent Behavior Consequence" (ABC) analysis that can help to minimize risk and also promote awareness of problems and changes needed.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in ecology and the environment, which is why wooden buildings are becoming increasingly popular. In the Czech Republic, there are opinions that the fire safety design of timber buildings is too strict, mainly because of the restrictive fire height (≤ 12 m). There are more requirements that seem to be too high comparing to noncombustible buildings, for example type of construction system, fire load, degree of fire safety, fire resistance of building structures, fire separation or falling out of burning parts. These requirements are briefly described in this paper. Another part of the paper is devoted to a case study. This case study consists of a building with offices and shops. Requirements of Czech regulations for fire safety design of timber buildings are implemented in this case study together with regulations of selected foreign countries (Great Britain, Canada, USA and Austria) to see if Czech design is strict or not. Graphical results (height of building and fire separation) are given at the end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Platoon is a group of vehicles that move on the road together in close proximity. Vehicles speed in Platoon is almost equal. In the platoon, there will always be a vehicle trying to overtake another vehicle in front of the vehicle. To overtake the vehicle, driver must know the distance ahead for overtaking. Overtaking sight distance (Jd) is the distance that allows a vehicle to overtake another vehicle in front of the vehicle safely until the vehicle returns to its original lane. Based on the problems above, this research needs to be carried out with the aim of knowing the sight distance of overtaking vehicles in the platoon to overtake other vehicles and the potential of lane width widening base on the potential of the vehicle do the overtaking and based on the existing regulation. Data collection is done by recording traffic conditions using a handy cam. The Handy cam is placed on a tripod and in a safe place, which can properly record traffic conditions at a predetermined survey location. As the result, the maximum, average and, minimum speed during off-peak hours were higher than the speed at peak-hour conditions for Buttinggi-Padang and Padang-Bukttinggi direction. The majority of the vehicle (more than 50%) have the potential to overtake another vehicle. The segment road that was studied is the National, Arterial Primary Road. The existing lane width is 5.5 meter, each direction is 2.25-meter, undivided road. If there is a vehicle that will overtake another vehicle, the vehicle will take the path of the vehicle from the opposite direction. If the vehicle will overtake another vehicle, the driver must pay attention to the vehicle from the opposite direction. Based on the Law on Roads No. 38 of 2004, the width for primary arterial roads is 7 meters. Based the existing regulation and the safety, it was recommended to do the lane width widening on this segment road. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows how targeted basic research and existing regulations can influence dutyholders (business owners) to use lower noise consumables on their power tools (saws, drills, grinders). We will show; (1) how existing regulations should change buying habits, (2) how target basic research inform enforcement, (3) why lower noise consumables should be the standard in some industries, (4) how to influence industry through advice and, (5) potential enforcement. New data will show it is possible to get a 5 dB reduction by buying the right combination of grinder products. The paper describes a regulatory method that combines research and enforcement to reduce noise risk. The paper may be of interest to, health and safety regulators, tool manufacturers, noise consultants, and purchasing managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The construction industry has contributed significantly to the Malaysian economy as the country continues to develop rapidly. However, the sector is also associated with high levels of danger and fatal accidents. The literature suggests that a significant number of fatal accidents in construction are related to design considerations. This research aims to analyze the safety of the Malaysian construction industry by investigating 73 out of the 473 fatal accidents that have occurred between 2016 to 2020 using data released by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health. Synthesizing the causes of accidents, it is found that about 60% of fatalities could have been avoided by taking proactive measures before starting construction. More importantly, many of these accidents were related to various design suggestions. However, the Department of Occupational Safety and Health has introduced guidelines that integrate the concept of Prevention through Design (PtD) or Design for Safety (DfS), an attempt to improve construction safety by proper design. Compared to Singapore and the UK, where Design for Safety regulations to improve construction safety are mandatory, it is observed to continuously record a higher Work Fatality Rate where design efforts are voluntary.

A majority of the accidents on board a ship occur due to poor knowledge of safety regulations or carelessness towards the same. As a remedy, this paper will propose ideas that include digitalization of safety procedures so as to realize the powers of visual perception of information over a paper-based one, a unique Safety Wear and Equipment Identification system and pre-board training using Virtual Reality. Interactive, touch-screen monitors, the size of usual tablets will be affixed to the walls of numerous rooms and spaces across the ship (e.g.: engine room) that will revolutionize the way safety norms are implemented. They will also have cameras, affixed. Our second idea is to popularize the use of Virtual Reality to help new seafarers become acquainted with the ship's infrastructure. Before the first sail, 360 degree-videos of different parts of the ship will be played to the cadets by their company, through a Virtual Reality Headset so that he/she receives a life-sized, immersive view of the ship and is better informed about each machinery, valve, tank etc. and becomes familiarized with the layout of the ship. This will help them perform their duties more swiftly and efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The potential collection of non-metallic minerals mostly traditionally carried out using the people's mining method. People's mining method is done using traditional mining tools without operating heavy equipment and done by the local community. Tuff Breksi Mining in Wukirsari Village is a people's mining activity that has economic value for the local community also the risk of potential work accidents due to unsafe actions. Research is conducted to provide occupational safety information for people's mining activities. The methods used in this research are observation, interviews, and data analysis. For the detailed results of occupational safety information, intensive surveys and communication are needed to local miners to find out what miners need and provide suggestions and input on their problems. From the results of research and interviews conducted on mining workers obtained at locations with a slope height of 10-20 meters with a slope of 90 degrees, the results are the frequency of accidents that are included very rarely in several years (1-5 events/ year). Potential for work accidents, there are three incidents with high-risk accidents caused by not paying attention to the rules of ergonomics at work and not complying with occupational safety regulations, especially for safety mining activities regulation. With due regard to the rules of ergonomics, can reduce the risk of workplace accidents and improve occupational safety and provide recommendations for local regulations of the mining sector.

The implementation of aviation safety regulations for aircraft design aims to minimize the occurrence of errors in the design process which ultimately can have an impact on the safety aspects of the aircraft. Aviation safety regulations for aircraft design regulate how to comply aircraft certification procedures. Civil aviation safety regulations are applied to manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft. The level of safety of this unmanned aircraft has not been much proven by the type certificate. In Indonesia there are three products certified by IMAA (Indonesian Military Airworthiness Authority). The regulations of unmanned aircraft are not declare clearly contained in CASR, the designers must be careful in choosing which regulations can be used to design. The Aeronautics Technology Center is currently developing an unmanned aircraft with a wingspan of 5.5 meters called LSU-05 NG . This series will be drafted with a design document that accommodates regulations. This paper aims to make documents complied the regulations by choosing regulations can be applied to unmanned aircraft. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the building construction a wide range of various technologies are used. These could in case of not following security requirements possibly lead to a negative impact on the environment. It is therefore a "MUST" for management of Construction Company to deal with this issue and prevent the possible technological accidents that could be caused by negligence, or not following safety regulations. This applies particularly to senior executives in charge of the controlling of technological processes with hazardous materials. The aim of this paper is to determine a risk assessment based on methodic frequently used in project management and their elimination in selected construction technologies in relation to the possible impact on the environment. This particularly concerns ACP - associated construction production, which is often based on chemical components. These are considered to be the biggest threat to the environment whether in the implementation of construction work or disposal of the material. The associated construction production includes design construction works, such as floor laying. This particular process consists not only of creating a surface layer but also laying waterproof and thermo insulation - all these are based on using large number of chemical components. By this construction production includes all the building crafts such as carpenters especially plumbers, locksmiths, tilers, painters, electricians etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Product safety assessment is an important part of the product development cycle. Without valid certification(s), toy products are not allowed to be sold in many countries (e.g. United States, Europe and China). The toy industry follows a product safety assessment mechanism to test their products and the governing bodies follow a safety mechanism to protect their citizens. Although the US has well-developed toy safety regulations and standards, the number of reported injuries and death cases due to unsafe toys is still increasing during the last decade. This paper studies the safety assessment model that is commonly used in the toy industry. Specifically, this paper discusses (i) testing and labeling pertaining to product certificate, (ii) third party testing, (iii) current toys safety assessment model, and (iv) major toy recall cases in the US.

The creation of safety programs comes in a very wide scope and there is just no limitation on the strategies that can be taken to provide an efficient health and safety planning and procedures to be practiced. As construction site is the main source of fatalities and accidents in the construction industry, the concept of the safety management which stressed the importance of a well-defined organization structure and the safety planning, eventually, this concept is seen as having the potentials on eliminating the hazard risks that normally occur on the construction site. This paper aims to examine the status of safety management in the Malaysia construction industry, and indentify factors affecting construction site safety. The findings reveal that the main factors affecting safety performance include lack of training, lack of certified skill labour, ineffective operation of safety regulations as the most important factors. Based on the finding, it can be concluded that the industry should be more active in organizing training programmes for educating people and improving safety performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides a retrospective analysis of the failure of the 93 m high Teton dam in Idaho, USA, on its first filling in June 1976. Water from the near-full reservoir cascaded downstream, killing 11 people and causing massive economic losses. The failure shattered the confidence of the engineering community at large, enraged the public and politicians, and led to a series of dam safety regulations in the USA and other jurisdictions around the world. The conclusion to be drawn is that, in building major structures, engineers should expect the unexpected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Actually-existing globalization today is primarily a neoliberal project. This paper argues that the cruise ship industry--generally considered the fastest growing major tourism sector--represents a paradigmatic case of neoliberal globalization in terms its extreme deterritorialization and its freedom from meaningful regulation and oversight across the board--in taxation, labor policies, environmental standards, safety regulations, and more. As such it provides insight into what a pure neoliberal world would look like and also into the ways the implications of this have generated a broad array of counter-reactions that point the way to alternative possibilities. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Mining Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) definition of a mining disaster is a mining incident in which five or more individuals are killed (Braithwaite, 1985). The United States has experienced several of these disasters in the past few years, most of which could have been averted through stricter adherence to mining safety regulations (Weisenmiller, 2007). The purpose of the proposed project is to examine temporal changes in safety violations at a single bituminous coal mining facility over a period of 12 years. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the impact that a disaster at one particular mine may have had on that mine's subsequent behavior regarding safety regulations. This research question will be addressed through appropriate quantitative analysis that has yet to be determined and will account for other variables related to company offending.Braithwaite, J.

Prior criminological research studies have focused on attitudes toward police that are affected by the issuance of traffic citations during individual police-citizen encounters. This study moves beyond the individual police-encounter level and examines the effects of strict speed enforcement by a particular agency on attitudes and perceptions of police. The current study fills a gap in the literature by examining locals' attitudes and perceptions of rural police forces, which are arguably engaging in excessive speed enforcement. This investigation utilizes survey data to assess attitudes toward and perceived motives of police in rural "speed trap" towns. The attitudes of citizens and businesses are both examined. Policy implications for police speed enforcement practices in rural towns are discussed. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
