  1. The Business of Safety HOLISTIC SHEEP (SAFETY, HEALTH, ERGONOMICS, and ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION)- ENGINEERING and MANAGEMENT. ” Governor’s PacRim S&H Conf, Honolulu, HI May 7-9, 2014 “The Business of Safety

  2. Chitaranjan (Jivan) Saran, PhD, PE, CPE, CHCM • Professor Emeritus – Ergonomist - Engineer • University of Central Missouri/ Saran Consulting • T/F: 660 747 8065 • saran@charter.net, • Warrensburg, MO 64093

  3. ACCENT

  4. “Greetings. Thank you for inviting me. If you have difficulty with my accent, I can always start in Hindi. But my parents could not understand my Hindi. My Puerto Rican wife does not understand my Spanish. My son and my students do not understand my English. With all this confusion, let us continue in English. Thanks”

  11. U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U Uewe TARGET:

  12. Holistic SHEEP (Safety, Health, Ergonomics, and Environmental Protection)- Engineering and Management. Outline: • Operational Definitions & Concepts • Holistic SHEEP • Exercises

  13. 1. DEFINITIONS

  14. SAFETY Absence of Accidental Injuries and Property Damage

  15. Accident Unpredictable (in time and space), unwanted harmful events

  16. HEALTH Absences of Dis - eases

  17. Harm/Injuries/Diseases Damage to bodily tissues and/or Disruption of normal bodily functions

  18. Both accidental injuries and dis-eases are Unpredictable harmful events

  19. The basic difference between accidental injuries and diseases is TIME

  20. Security INTENTIONAL harm

  21. ENVIRONMENT PHYSICAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL SPACE & TIME

  22. PROTECTION Elimination, minimization, and or avoidance of harm. Maintenance of status quo.

  23. MANAGEMENT Get others to do your work for you

  24. The Manager

  25. Q: Who is the Boss? A: The Elephant – He doesn’t take CRAP from anyone!

  26. ENGINEERING • Application of physical sciences

  27. SHEEP Management • Provide an environment to optimize SHEEP

  28. Engineering + Management = Accomplishment

  29. Management / Engineering Conflict = Disaster • Floods Damage Destruction

  30. HOLISTIC Approach 1. Looks at the whole picture 2. Same as Systems Approach in Engineering jargon

  31. Holistic Example Electronic/molecular movement ► Myoelectric movement ► Musculoskeletal movement ► Therbligs ► Tasks ► Jobs ► Positions ► Organizations ► Cities ► Counties ► States ► Countries ► World ► Universe

  32. SYSTEM A System is a permutation of components or subsystems to accomplish a mission under given constraints

  33. Both HOLISTIC and SYSTEMS approaches enhance our power of OBSERVATION

  34. OBSERVATION

  35. 2. CONCEPTS • 2.1 Total Loss Control • 2.2 Ergonomics • 2.3 Aberrant Energy Exchange

  36. 2.1 TOTAL LOSS CONTROL Looks at the TOTALITY of losses and controls as many avenues of losses as possible. Similar to: HOLISTIC or SYSTEMS Approach

  37. Losses could be Tangible or Intangible

  38. Loss = Gain

  39. Loss: Undesirable event. It could be monetary, prestigial/reputation, personnel, property, emotional, or others

  40. Event 3: Drilling for oil • Loss: Oil • Losers: Environment, Natural habitat • Gain: Energy • Gainers: Consumers, Oil companies

  41. For every successful small business, 4 other businesses fail.

  42. 2.2 ERGONOMICS Ergo + Nomos (Work + Norms or Laws)

  43. Ergonomics balances internal bodily environment with external physical & psychosocial environment

  44. This balance improves safety, health, and productivity in a friendly environment.

  45. Disharmony • Disharmony between • internal bodily stresses • and • external stresses • Injuries, Illnesses, Environmental challenges

  46. Biomechanical Theory Mismatch of Internal Bodily Environment and External Environment Contrary to the Principles of Biology and / or Mechanics Contributes to Injuries / Illnesses

  47. 10 Commandments of Ergonomics • K.I.S.S. • Evolution • Fetal Position • Psychosocial Environment • Physical Environment • Adjustability • Work-Rest Regimen • Bipeds & Falls • Task Variation • Abduction/ Torsion

  48. 2.3 ABERRANT ENERGY EXCHANGE ENERGY
