    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diving; rebreather; underwater breathing apparatus; unmanned testing; hyperbaric; scuba; oxygen sensor; composite gas cylinder; carbon dioxide monitoring;

    Sammanfattning : Vital components are more or less prone to fail in a diving apparatus. This thesis examines the performance of oxygen sensors, carbon dioxide scrubber monitoring and composite gas cylinders. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Serious occupational injuries by "accidents" : possible means of prevention and injury mitigation

    Författare :Torgny Jarl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Occupational; accident; injury; prevention; personal safety equipment; emergency action; commercial vehicles;

    Sammanfattning : An analysis of the circumstances preceding severe occupational injuries as a consequence of impacts has shown that well-known risks are of great importance in 75 per cent of the cases. This indicates that the subjective cause "neglect" is common. The negligence is distributed to the same extent among employers as among employees. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The effect of anti-slip devices on pedestrian safety : method development and practical test

    Författare :Glenn Berggård; Christer Hydén; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic Engineering; Trafikteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Every winter, more than 100,000 pedestrians in the Nordic countries receive medical treatment as a result of falls on slippery surfaces. In addition, the risk of injury reduces interest in outdoor activities during the wintertime. LÄS MER

  5. 4. HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT ON BUILDING CONSTUCTION SITES IN TANZANIA: The Practice of Risk Assessment, Communication and Control

    Författare :Sarah Phoya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Risk control; and Process; Practice; Risk Management; Risk Communication; Health and safety risk; Construction Sites;

    Sammanfattning : The construction industry is an important part of the economy in many countries and is often seen as a driver of economic growth especially in developing countries. Owing to its relatively labour intensive nature, construction works provide opportunities for employment for a wide range of people skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Winter maintenance and cycleways

    Författare :Anna Bergström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :cycleways; winter maintenance; maintenance service level; mode choice; winter cycling frequency; winter road condition assessment; bicycle measurements; friction measurement; winter maintenance equipment;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing cycling as a means of personal travel couldgenerate environmental benefits if associated with acorresponding decrease in car-based transport. In seeking topromote cycling in wintertime, it is desirable to understandhow important the road surface condition is compared to otherfactors in people's decision to cycle or not. LÄS MER
