Safety engineering

carrying millions of passengers, fly over the globe each day, concerns on aviation safety has always been an important topic. This is particularly illustrated during of the happening of the 2000 Air France flight 4950 crash accident. This report will analyse the causes of this devastating incident, as well as the ethical implications therein, in aspects of the aircraft’s structural flaws, regulatory oversight, and engineering negligence. FINDINGS SUMMARY On 25th July, 2000, the Air France flight…

Patient safety in nursing and the overall healthcare naturally stands out as a topic of great concern for nurses themselves as well as patients and their families. Focusing on patient safety is essential in order to establish a principle of safety throughout the entire health system, so that all will be aware of where, when and how to avoid errors and adverse events. I was assigned to a patient from 8am-1pm on September 16, 2016, who was admitted to Morristown medical center on September 15,…

goals known as the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) program. The development of the NPSGs began with a panel of nurses, physicians, pharmacists, risk managers, clinical engineers and other professionals with adequate experience in the world of patient safety (“Facts about NPSGs”, 2015). This group of healthcare professionals collectively became the Patient Safety Advisory Group. Together, they worked with the Joint Commission to identify issues in patient safety and propose ideas on how to…

the majority of parents or caregivers do not know the appropriate safety precautions. Due to this lack of attentiveness children are unwillingly risking their lives.

Fortunately, there are ways to prevent this issue to properly secure and provide safety of these innocent children. People who are responsible for…

travel continued to expand, and airport operators became concerned for its safety. They developed traffic control visual signals aimed at promoting aviation safety. Additionally, aviation leaders believed that the airplane industry required regulations intended to maintain and improve the security standards before realizing maximum potential. The aviation leaders concern led to the formulation of Acts regarding the safety of air travel. Key among these regulations was the 1926 Air Commerce…

The Chernobyl accident is one of the most serious engineering disaster in human’s history. Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was the first nuclear power plant built inside Ukraine by the former Soviet Union, which was considered as the most secure and reliable nuclear power plant in the world. It consisted of four same reactors which was known as model RBMK-1000 and each capable of generating 1 gigawatt of electricity. The power plant provided a total of 10% of Ukraine’s electricity when the…

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the process of directly alternating an organism’s DNA in its genome using biotechnology. Genetic modification has been in practice for many years in the domestication of plants and animals, but despite its unprecedented progress, gene editing in humans, especially in embryonic stem cells, is one of the major controversies in health and science field nowadays. In the article from The Guardian, “Genetically modified human embryos should be…

improve food safety? It requires a “multitude of different professionals working together, making use of the best available science and technologies, less harmful cleaning products, requiring expertise from a variety of different disciplines such as: toxicology, microbiology, parasitology, nutrition, health economics, and human and veterinary medicine.” Also, wise food choices, using information provided in food labeling, and make certain of supply chain compliance with strong food-safety…

applies to your home, you can avoid unsafe wiring and non-compliance situations that can expensive to fix and dangerous to your home. Understanding The National Electrical Code The federal government has created a guideline for electrical wiring safety that is known as the "National Electrical Code." It has been adopted by all 50 states, though variations may exist on the state and city level. IT is designed to cover the installation of all electrical devices in your home, including:…

group communication and hierarchical communication – not to mention his expertise in communicating with students who are going to an Engineering related field. During my interview with Ramirez, I learned what Raytheon Company was about. Raytheon is a renowned company whose name is well known…
