Implementation Of Safety Rules Research Articles

Analysis of the implementation of the International Safety Management Code using motivation theory: the seafarer's views.

"Safety First!" as it is always said, safety is a primary concern in any human activity. Shipping, one of the most dangerous industries in the world demands the establishment and implementation of safety rules, regulations and standards. Before the International Safety Management (ISM) Code was adopted and came into effect, the maritime industry experienced catastrophic disasters which resulted in loss of life and property. The occurrence of huge marine casualties triggered maritime safety rules, regulations and standards at an international level. International maritime safety standards are meant to create uniformity in safety rules and regulations. Human errors are considered the most important reason for maritime accidents. The ISM Code has been established to clarify the responsibilities of safety on vessels and to mitigate the occurrence of human errors by creating a safety-oriented organizational culture. There is still a question of whether this culture is actively practised by shipping companies. Through the lens of Kanter's theory of structural empowerment and Alderfer's theory of employee motivation, this study sought to explore seafarers' views and perceptions of the implementation of the ISM Code. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 participants (4 seafarers and 2 resource maritime industry persons). The interviews with seafarers took place on the 22nd of October, 2019. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to describe the views of the participants in relation to the implementation of the ISM Code on their ship in the following areas: communication, organizational commitment, management involvement, reporting system, and empowerment of employees RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The participants pointed out that with the implementation of ISM Code the maritime personnel's safety attitudes have improved. The employees enthusiastically participate in safety meetings and trainings. The organization on board is more open, so is the communication between officers and the crew. Working on board is nowadays teamwork instead of being autocratic.

The hygiene-sanitary control in the wild game meats.

The use of game meat as a food source is currently a growing trend in our country. These products have strong and historic ties with cultural and culinary tradition, but are also appreciated for their sensory and nutritional characteristics. A major contributor to the supply of this type of product is hunting. Practiced since the dawn of time for survival, hunting has evolved into a recreational activity with substantial commercial interests. Of particular importance in this context is hunting of large ungulates. The progressive urbanization of the population has allowed for the re-establishment of bush and wooded areas that represent the ideal habitat of species such as the wild boar, whose numbers are increasing throughout the country. It is therefore clear that implementation of safety rules regarding the hunting and consumption of game meat needs to be urgently addressed. The understanding and application of rules isn’t always easy since the health law is intertwined with that of hunting, and the decision- making power left to the different regions does not contribute to a uniform application throughout the country. The aim of this study was to examine the norms that regulate the use of large wild game meat intended for human consumption and their applicability in hunting activities. From the comparison of the data reported in the literature and our field experience the rules implementation and the problems are evaluated. Operational procedures are then proposed to simplify some of the most difficult aspects and fill in the gaps highlighted.

Structural Equation Modeling for Relationship-Based Determinants of Safety Performance in Construction Projects

AbstractSafety performance in construction projects is attributed to many determinants (factors) in a safety system. This study identifies various directly or indirectly related determinants and their effects on safety performance of construction projects. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), this study empirically examines the effect of safety climate (SC), hazard management (HM), safety budget (SB), safety rules and regulations (SR), and safe work behavior (WB) of employees and workers on safety performance (SP) of projects. The unit of analysis of this study is a construction project. A questionnaire survey was conducted, and 230 responses were collected from different types of construction projects across India. The results provide evidence that safety climate, safety budget, and hazard management positively influence safe work behavior of employees and the safety performance of the project. Conversely, the SEM findings demonstrate that implementation of safety rules and regulations are positivel...
