They also have an important role in the product quality and economic competitiveness of companies employing them. It makes good economic sense to incorporate "safety and health" activities in engineering practices to meet the moral and legal requirements. Most engineers graduate with little formal "safety and health" education and "pick up" some knowledge while working in the industry. This is unfortunate since the engineer can greatly http://www.asse.org/onsishealmana.htm (4 of 11) [1/27/02 8:14:32 PM]

An emergency can and does happen anywhere. Yet general businesses don't put emergency pre-planning at the top of the list. We assume that if something happens, we call 911 and they will take care of it. All industries whether they are the traditional manufacturers of large quantities of materials or the new goods and service industries have the survival of their enterprise in common. Competition has driven our industries from a market-reactive to aggressive proactive planning of manufacturing facilities, locations, and activities based on a number of fiscal parameters. This course provides a basic understanding of the fundamental industrial emergency preplanning and potential avoidance. Attendees of this seminar will learn and practice skills necessary to select sections of their facility with highest potential risk and pre-plan them. Investigation of the hazards is the first step to eliminating them. The remainder of pre-planning is directed to optimization of response resources. Attendees are encouraged to bring facility information, layout, etc. for use as class projects. http://www.asse.org/onsishealmana.htm (6 of 11) [1/27/02 8:14:32 PM]

More subtle acts of violence occur everyday at work. Most safety and health professional understand that both the perception of a risk, as well as subtle acts, are equally disruptive to the organization's safety culture.
