RISEvaluating the Effectiveness of Mine Safety Enforcement Actions in Forecasting the Lost-Days Rate at Specific Worksites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Set of Estimation and Decision Preference Experiments for Exploring Risk Assessment Biases in Engineering Students
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineering decisions that have the greatest effect on worker and public safety occur early in the design process. During these decisions, engineers rely on their experience and intuition to estimate the severity and ...
Evaluation of Risk and Uncertainty for Model-Predicted NOAELs of Engineered Nanomaterials Based on Dose-Response-Recovery Clusters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental toxicology studies for the purposes of setting occupational exposure limits for aerosols have drawbacks including excessive time and cost which could be overcome or limited by the development of computational ...
Nanoparticle Characteristic Interaction Effects on Pulmonary Toxicity: A Random Forest Modeling Framework to Compare Risks of Nanomaterial Variants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to their unique physicochemical properties, nanomaterials have the potential to interact with living organisms in novel ways. Nanomaterial variants are too numerous to be screened for toxicity individually by traditional ...
Evaluating the Performance and Accuracy of Incident Rate Forecasting Methods for Mining Operations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The potential benefits of a safety program are generally only realized after an incident has occurred. Resource allocation in an organization's safety program has the imperative task of balancing costs and often unrealized ...
