Hearing Loss Prevention and a Survey of Firefighters
Update 2017 Vol. 29, Issue 1 The Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation Hearing Loss Prevention and a Survey of Firefighters Submitted by: Natalie Rothbauer, Illinois State University According to the Occupational and Safety Administration (OSHA), Candidates with the following medical conditions shall not be certified as approximately 30 million people are exposed to hazardous noise annually, meeting the medical requirements of this standard: (1) Chronic vertigo which places them at risk for auditory injuries such as noise-induced or impaired balance as demonstrated by the inability to tandem gait hearing loss (NIHL) and tinnitus. Noise-induced hearing loss can be walk. (2) On audiometric testing, average hearing loss in the unaided costly to workers as it can interfere with their daily tasks. It may make it better ear greater than 40 decibels (dB) at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 impossible to hear important warning signals and other important sounds, Hz when the audiometric device is calibrated to ANSI Z24.5. (3) Any possibly resulting in a worker being relieved from duty. Firefighting is ear condition (or hearing impairment) that results in a person not being considered a hearing critical profession because warning signal audibility able to safely perform essential job tasks. - NFPA Standard 1582 (pp. 11) could be the difference between life and death (Hong et al, 2013). Knowledge A literature review did not reveal a consistent sound exposure profile for Survey data indicated that many firefighters were knowledgeable of some career firefighters due to the variable noises and length of work shift.

White Paper on Approaches to Safety Engineering∗
White Paper on Approaches to Safety Engineering∗ Nancy Leveson April 23, 2003 A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will, is likely to be short. — Bertrand Russell This white paper lays out some foundational information about different approaches to safety: how various industries differ in their approaches to safety engineering, and a comparison of three general approaches to safety (system safety, industrial safety engineering, and reliability engineer- ing).An attempt is made to lay out the properties of industries and systems that make one approach more appropriate than another. How do industries differ in their approaches to safety engineering? While the concern about industrial safety dates back to at least the turn of the century (and before in some countries and industries) and individual efforts to design safe products and systems also goes back in time, rigorous and defined approaches to safety engineering mostly arose after World War II, when the AEC (and later the NRC) were engaged in a public debate about the safety of nuclear power; civil aviation was trying to convince a skeptical public to fly; the chemical indus- try was coping with larger plants, increasingly lethal chemicals, and heightened societal concern about pollution; and the DoD was developing ballistic missile systems and increasingly dangerous weapons.Each of these parallel efforts resulted in very different engineering approaches, mostly because the problems they needed to solve were different.

Published and used by INCOSE with permission. Abstract. In the 21st century, when any sophisticated system has significant software content, it is increasingly critical to articulate and improve the interface between systems engineering and software engineering, i.e., the relationships between systems and software engineering technical and management processes, products, tools, and outcomes. Although systems engineers and software engineers perform similar activities and use similar processes, their primary responsibilities and concerns differ. Systems engineers focus on the global aspects of a system. Their responsibilities span the lifecycle and involve ensuring the various elements of a system—e.g., hardware, software, firmware, engineering environments, and operational environments—work together to deliver capability. Software engineers also have responsibilities that span the lifecycle, but their focus is on activities to ensure the software satisfies software-relevant system requirements and constraints. Software engineers must maintain sufficient knowledge of the non-software elements of the systems that will execute their software, as well as the systems their software must interface with. -

Introduction Safety-critical systems are ever increasing in day to Safety-Critical Systems are those systems whose failure day life such as use from microwave oven to robots could result in loss of life, significant property damage, involving computer systems and software. Safety- or damage to environment (Knight, J.C, 2002). Safety in critical systems must consider safety engineering and broad pertains to the whole system, computer hardware, safety management principles in order to be safe when software, other electronic & electrical components and they are put into use. Safety analysis must be done. stake holders. A safety-critical system is such a system Safety assessment of such systems is difficult but not impossible. They must deal with the hazards analysis which has the potential to cause hazard either directly or in order to reduce or prevent risks to environment, indirectly. The emphasis of this paper is on the element property damage and / or loss of life through risk-free of software for such safety critical systems, which can and failure free or fail-safe operations. The existing be referred to as safety critical software. Some of the methods are found to be limited and inadequate safety critical applications include flight control systems, to address the risks associated and for safety medical diagnostic and treatment devices, weapon assessment. This paper proposes a methodology for systems, nuclear power systems, robots and many. Failure safety assessment of safety critical systems based on free and risk free or fail-safe operations may not lead to identifying significant and non-significant aspects of hazards. -

The Status of Fire Safety Engineering in Europe
SFPE European Chapters Coordination Group (ECCG) May 3, 2014 SFPE ECCG: White Paper for Professional Recognition for Fire Safety Engineering Editors: Robert Jönsson and Michael Strömgren Contributors: SFPE European Chapters Coordination Group (ECCG) SFPE Board of Directors SFPE ECCG White Paper for Professional Recognition for Fire Safety Engineering Page 1 FOREWORD This paper has been produced by the SFPE European Chapters Coordination Group (ECCG). The SFPE ECCG is a body comprised of presidents of the European Chapters of SFPE and the elected ECCG president, which has been formed to facilitate collaboration on issues which are common to the chapters. The aims of this document are to present a current snapshot of the state of recognition of fire safety engineering professionals in Europe, and to articulate a set of initiatives intended to help gain a common understanding of qualifications, educational requirements and further advance recognition of fire safety engineering professions within Europe. It is noted that the situation will change with time, and that this White Paper may not completely address the wide breadth of issues which currently exist. The ECCG would like to thank Woodrow, Bisby and Torero who have made a significant contribution to the contents of this white paper [1], particularly in the area of educational needs. The ECCG also recognizes the efforts of Jonsson and Stromgren for their efforts on data collection on the status of fire safety engineering in Europe. The directions outlined in this report align with the strategic directions of the SFPE Board of Directors, which endorses the initiatives outlined in this report. OBJECTIVE This White Paper highlights the need for appropriate qualification of fire safety engineering practitioners in Europe, and identifies initiatives for proceeding toward this objective. -
