Communication of Safety In the Design Phase.
COMMUNICATION OF SAFETY IN THE DESIGN PHASE J. MacKenzie, A.G.F. Gibb and N.M. Bouchlaghem Building and Civil Engineering Department, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, LE11 3TU (all correspondence to [email protected]) Ineffective management practices, particularly in the design phase, have been identified as a prime cause of the unacceptable accident and occupational health record of the construction industry. The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations requires designers to identify, reduce and control risks to the workforce. However, for many designers the adoption of such practices is still unfamiliar and there is little information on procedures or best practices. Thus, to a large extent the application of such regulations is intuitive and relies on the attitude and behaviour of the designer and their ability to communicate the identified risks effectively. This paper outlines the methodological approach used to measure the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviour and value judgements of the parties involved during the design phase. Keywords: Behaviour, Communication, Health, Safety, Design, Management. INTRODUCTION The requirement for increasingly complex projects, more exacting demands in terms of time, cost and quality, fluctuating industry workload and ever tighter fee scales have focused the need for effective communication and management of
An Introduction to the Republicof Singapore and its People
Introduction An Introduction to the Republic of Singapore and its People The Republic of Singapore is a tiny island at the tip of the Malaysian peninsular. Most well known for its world-class zoo (The Singapore Zoological Gardens) and its national carrier; Singapore Airlines, this small but thriving island was actually once a British Colony. Faced with a severe land scarcity, Singapore has combated this by reclaiming land with earth obtained from its own hills (although the highest point on the island is only 164 metres at the top of Bukit Timah Hill), the seabed and from neighbouring countries. Singapore's land area has grown from 581.5 km2 in the 1960's to 633 km2 today, with a prediction of another 100 km2 growth by 2030. However, with the growth of the land came great disputes as our water boundaries crossed into Indonesian and Malaysian territories. Singapore has to maintain good relations with these neighbouring countries as we depend on them for a supply of drinking water. The countries own water catchment areas and reservoirs cannot sustain the 4.6 billion population (which works out to about a 6751 per square kilometer density), thus, we buy water from Malaysia and have recently built a major under-water pipeline to transport water from one of the Indonesian islands. Singapore was granted self-government by the British in 1959, merged with Malaysia in 1963,

Running head: PROBLEM SOLUTION: LESTER ELECTRONICS Problem Solution: Lester Electronics Nicole Hamblin University of Phoenix Problem Solution: Lester Electronics This paper shows problem solution for the organizations listed within the Lester Electronics scenario. It discusses the planning process used in determining the best avenue to take in deciding to sell or not sell the organization or to merge with another organization. It also discusses the decisions of a potential merger or buy-out of Lester Electronics, Shang-wa Electronics, Transnational Electronics Corporation, and Avral Electronics, S.A. The paper discusses the issues associated with the risks assessed between the organizations bidding for ownership of Lester Electronics. As described in the scenario, Lester Electronics is an organization that entered into an exclusive contract in the United States with Shang-wa Electronics, a small Korean manufacturer of capacitors. Lester Electronics grew rapidly making inroads with two large domestic manufacturers that use capacitors in both consumer and industrial products. Since Lester Electronics is the master distributor of electronic parts it markets its products to small and medium sized original equipment manufacturers also known as OEMs, repair facilities, and small local distributors throughout the Americas and in Europe. Lester Electronics, because of
Business plan for a new service.
Abbas Shah and Gohar Zaman. Business Planning Assignment May 2002 Business plan for a new service. I have been asked to produce a business plan for a new product or service of my choice. Therefore, I have chosen to do it on a new Tandoori Takeaway, which will be open to provide a service to the community in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham. In my business plan for the takeaway I need to include a market analysis and plan; a production and quality assurance plan; a financial plan and an evaluation of all the components of my business plan. The local 'taste' on the part of the Pakistani, Indian and white community in the Small Heath vicinity for good Asian food is well established. However, there are a small number of outlets in the Bordesley Green area that offer 'Indian' recipes. Every time you go in Bordesley Green there is an influx of Kebab houses whose primary objective is to sell fast food. Which is where my business comes in to offer an alternative, to offer a true taste of Indian recipe and compete with these junk food outlets that are destroying the heritage off true Indian recipe. The policy at my Indian takeaway, which I have named 'Tandoori Junction', is to specialise in unique Indian meals prepared with the original Indian texture and aroma to make it special. My takeaway will include slightly new ranges of products not locally available

Although cow's milk is the most popular in many countries, milk can be obtained from many different sources.
Although cow's milk is the most popular in many countries, milk can be obtained from many different sources. For example, milk from goats and sheep makes a substantial contribution to the total milk production in countries of Eastern and Southern Europe, Malawi, and Barbados, whereas the water buffalo is a common source of milk in much of Asia. The table below illustrates some of the differences in composition between these milks. Woman milking a goat Milk is a perishable commodity and spoils very easily. Its low acidity and high nutrient content make it the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, including those which cause food poisoning (pathogens). Bacteria from the animal, utensils, hands, and insects may contaminate the milk, and their destruction is the main reason for processing. This preservation of the milk can be achieved by fermentation, heating, cooling, removal of water, and by concentration or separation of components, to produce foods such as butter or cheese. The degree to which milk consumption and processing occurs will differ from region to region. It is dependent upon a whole host of factors, including geographic and climatic conditions, availability and cost of milk, food taboos, and religious restrictions. Where processing does exist, many traditional techniques can be found for producing indigenous milk products. These are more stable than raw
Explain the need for nutrition by living organisms.
BIOLOGY ASSIGNMENT ) EXPLAIN THE NEED FOR NUTRITION BY LIVING ORGANISMS. Nutrition is the science of how our bodies obtain energy, build tissue, and control body functions using materials supplied in the food we eat. Nutrients are chemical substances needed by the body. The need for nutrition by living organisms is essential for survival in the sense that it provides energy and material for growth and repair and for the general function of the human system and its maintenance. Different foods we eat contain at least one of the seven major nutrients namely; carbohydrate, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, roughages and water. There are two types of nutrition Heterotrops and Autotrops - We are unable to make our own food from the sun as plants do. We get our food by eating plants or other animals. Our bodies need food for a variety of reasons: Growth: Food, especially proteins, makes new cells and tissues as we grow. Energy: The body is like a working machine that needs energy to keep it going. During cellular respiration food is changed into energy for many activities e.g. the heart pumping blood around our bodies. Energy rich foods are carbohydrates and fats. Replacing worn out and damaged tissues: Our cells are constantly dying or getting old so they need to be replaced. Red blood cells carry oxygen needed to live and therefore must be replaced regularly.
Nutrition for sport.
Brendan King There are some nutrients that the human body cannot do without, nutrients that are essential for everyday life, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The requirements for each persons specific needs are different depending on the type of training you are doing, your sporting needs, or if you do no training at all. For example an athlete training for sport where muscle mass plays an importance (weightlifting, boxing), there are needs for a high intake of proteins in tandem with the right kind of training, which will build muscle effectively. An athlete training for an endurance event such as long distance running/marathons will require a high amount of carbohydrates in their daily diet, preferably complex carbohydrates such as pasta and potatoes, giving a slow burning release of energy. The everyday person's diet, a person perhaps not training specifically but recreationally will require a healthy balance of all the basic nutrients: * Carbohydrates - approx 60% of diet * Fats - approx 25-30% * Proteins - approx 12-15% * Vitamins * Minerals * Water * Fibre In this assignment I have taken my own food diary for one week, along with three other people, each with their own dietary needs in accordance with their weekly quota of activity as well as each persons BMR (basal metabolic rate) and their PAR (physical activity ratio).
