  • Nontraffic Crash Injuries and Fatalitiescoding and Editing Manual
    DOT HS 811 802 April 2014 Not In Traffic Surveillance (NITS) Nontraffic Crash Injuries and Fatalities 2008 Coding and Editing Manual INTRODUCTION Since 1975 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has collected extensive information on fatalities that occur in traffic crashes through the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Additionally, NHTSA’s National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) has provided national estimates of the number and nature of traffic crash injuries since 1979. This manual and the associated database document fatalities and injuries in nontraffic crashes that occur on nonpublic roads, residential and commercial driveways, and parking facilities. This nontraffic crash database was designed to use NHTSA’s existing crash data collection infrastructures. To collect information about injuries in nontraffic crashes, NHTSA requested that beginning in 2007 the NASS researchers, who visit police jurisdictions that provide crash reports to the National Automotive Sampling System – General Estimates System (NASS-GES) sample, send all injury cases that did not qualify for NASS-GES because they were off the trafficway (nontraffic) to a NHTSA contractor to be entered into NiTS. To collect information on nontraffic crash fatalities, NHTSA requested that beginning in 2007 the FARS analysts, who collect and enter fatal traffic crash information into FARS for each State, send all cases that did not qualify for FARS to the same NHTSA contractor. Similar to the nontraffic injuries, the crash fatalities that did not qualify for FARS because they were off the trafficway were then entered into NiTS. NHTSA also supplemented the nontraffic crash fatality reports in NiTS with reports of nontraffic crash fatalities submitted by the NASS researchers.

  • PS 80 How to Use a Model Steam Engine
    How to use a model steam engine Model steam engines can be used to demonstrate a complete energy conversion system and to show good health and safety practice. They are very safe, if the guidance below is followed. This information complements that in the CLEAPSS Laboratory Handbook, section 9.7 and in guide L214 Examining Autoclaves, Pressure Cookers and Model Steam Engines. Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, a regular inspection is required using a simple written scheme, as provided in guide L214. A technician could carry this out, unless an employer decides otherwise. Steam engines should only be used by science department staff that have received appropriate instruction (eg, they are familiar with this leaflet). The simplest stationary steam engines are best for teaching. These (and spare parts) are available from science education suppliers. This leaflet shows the popular Mamod model SP4 (www.mamod.co.uk). A similar engine is the Wilesco model D6 (www.wilesco.de). A small electric generator (often a dc motor working as a generator) is also shown. This can produce enough electricity to operate a voltmeter, light emitting diodes or a small filament lamp. Safety checks • Always carry out checks 1 to 5 below, before using a model steam engine. • If the engine is unusual or very old, check with CLEAPSS before use1. 1. Ensure that the steam engine will not vibrate across the bench when it is running. Fixing the engine to a plywood baseboard is recommended. A G-clamp could be used to secure the unit to the bench. 2. Check the whole engine for signs of corrosion or damage.

  • NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2021 Hon
    NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2021 Hon. Secretary Brian Childs 28 Tudor Avenue A Message from our Chairman – Brian Spratt Gidea Park, Romford Essex, RM2 5LB 07770 382 371 (M) We know this year did not quite go as planned! [email protected] Sadly, every event planned for 2020 had to be cancelled, with the final hoped-for November visit to JLR Classic falling victim to Tier 2 restrictions in the West Midlands. Despite this lack of activities, and the consequent lack of revenue, I am pleased to reveal that the Fellowship has continued to support our motor industry charity BEN, with £5,000 donated in the middle of the year. As BEN’s CEO Zara Ross commented, “We are deeply moved that through this difficult time the Fellowship has continued to remember us. Our heartfelt thanks for everything you and the Fellowship do for BEN.” That's why we're so pleased to start looking forward, sharing with you our 2021 events programme. We know there is still uncertainty on the horizon and as a voluntary body without any external funding, we are acutely aware of this. But it has been the Fellowship's mission to share visits, sporting events, lunches, and other opportunities with Fellows for over 80 years, and we don't plan to stop now. The whole of your Committee value your support for the Fellowship so much, and we sincerely hope that our upcoming programme of events for 2021 will mean we can meet with you all once more. There will be old favourites, the Midlands and London lunches, along with other regulars, but there are new ventures, new locations, new experiences, but still with the constant theme of friendship and fellowship.
