Описание: A Risk–centric Approach The Future of the Safety Profession The information and tools contained in Risk Assessment: A Practical Guide to Assessing Operational Risks should get into the hands and minds of every practicing Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Professional. The biggest risk to an organization is not taking a risk–based approach to protecting people, property and the environment. Organizational confidence in assessing operational risks will come when adopting and building upon the principles and learning s that come from these author s body of work. Defining what Safe looks like must become the future of our profession. Dave Walline, CSP Committee Chair, ASSE Risk Assessment Institute 2013–2015 Risk Assessment: A Practical Guide to Assessing Operational Risk provides the fundamentals on risk assessment, with practical applications, for undergraduate and graduate students and employed safety, health, and environmental professionals who recognize that they are expected to have risk assessment capabilities. This book fills a void. No other textbook has been written as a primer for students and employed safety professionals that covers the fundamentals of risk assessment and emphasizes taking a practical approach in the application of the techniques. In addition, the book addresses seven of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria for safety programs. Over time, risk assessments have been given more prominence as an element in an operational risk management system. This text will serve the needs of professors at a university level who sense the need for their students to have knowledge and capability with respect to risk assessment. It will also serve as a primer for employed safety professionals who need a practical guide on various risk assessment techniques. Risk assessment methods including task analysis, job risk assessment, preliminary hazard analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, what–if analysis, and bow–tie analysis, as well as specific applications including design safety reviews, ergonomic risks, food safety, organizational risk assessment, and project risk are covered in a step by step approach. Including numerous interactive exercises, links, videos, and downloadable risk assessment tools this textbook can be used by undergraduate and graduate students and employed safety, health, and environmental professionals who recognize that they are expected to have risk assessment capabilities Georgi Popov, PhD, QEP, CMC is an associate professor at the University of Central Missouri where he teaches risk assessment.

Описание: Despite its tiny size and seeming marginality to world affairs, the Central American republic of Costa Rica has long been considered an important site for experimentation in cutting-edge environmental policy. From protected area management to ecotourism to payment for environmental services (PES) and beyond, for the past half-century the country has successfully positioned itself at the forefront of novel trends in environmental governance and sustainable development. Yet the increasingly urgent dilemma of how to achieve equitable economic development in a world of ecosystem decline and climate change presents new challenges, testing Costa Rica's ability to remain a leader in innovative environmental governance.

This book explores these challenges, how Costa Rica is responding to them, and the lessons this holds for current and future trends regarding environmental governance and sustainable development. It provides the first comprehensive assessment of successes and challenges as they play out in a variety of sectors, including agricultural development, biodiversity conservation, water management, resource extraction, and climate change policy.

By framing Costa Rica as an "ecolaboratory," the contributors in this volume examine the lessons learned and offer a path for the future of sustainable development research and policy in Central America and beyond.

Описание: Environmental noise is defined as the noise emitted from sources such as road, rail and air traffic, industries, construction and public works, and the neighborhood. Noise has been ranked high among forms of pollutions, which include air pollution, radioactive waste pollution, water pollutions, etc. In recent years, noise has received considerable worldwide attention as a result of the many studies linking noise pollution to various health effects that include auditory as well non-auditory health effects. It should be noted here that the effect of noise is seldom catastrophic, and is often only transitory. However, its adverse effects can be cumulative with prolonged or repeated exposure. Noise with daily activities and it causes sleep disruption, masking of speech, reduction in performance and the inability to enjoy ones property or leisure time. It impairs the quality of life. In addition, several studies have linked extended exposure to high noise levels to cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and irregular heartbeat. It has also been reported that high noise levels have an economic effects, especially tourism and real estate sectors, where it has been reported that the prices of houses tend to be higher in quite areas. There is also some evidence that noise can adversely affect general health and well-being in the same manner as chronic stress. Because of these factors, and the recent public awareness of the adverse effects of noise in the last few decades, many studies and noise monitoring programs have been established in various parts in the world. These studies and programs focus on measurements of perceived sound levels in communities, in the workplace (occupational noise), near airports and in public parks. A second area of research, which is getting more attention in recent years, focuses on assessing the effects of noise on individuals and communities, i.e. noise annoyance. This book discusses several topics that include driver style influence in the vehicle acoustic emissions in urban traffic; reaction to hybrid noise in communication; otoacoustic emissions by product distortion in metallurgical workers exposed to different doses of occupational noise; underwater noise pollution; and noise pollution in Zimbabwe.
