Human errors are one of the major contributors of accidents. In order to improve the safety performance, human errors have to be addressed. Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) has been developed as an analytical framework for the investigation of the role of human errors in aviation accidents. However, the HFACS framework did not reveal the relationships describing the effect among diverse factors at different levels. Similarly, its interior structure was not exposed. As a result, it is difficult to identify critical paths and key factors. erefore, an improved Human Factors Analysis and Classification System in the construction industry (I-HFACS) was developed in this study. An analytical I-HFACS mechanism was designed to interpret how activities and decisions made by upper management lead to operator errors and subsequent accidents. Critical paths were highlighted. Similarly, key human factors were identified, that is, "regulatory factors," "organizational process," "supervisory violations," "adverse spiritual state," "skill underutilization," "skill-based errors," and "violations." Findings provided useful references for the construction industry to improve the safety performance.

“…Each sealed sector is supplied with separate air -handling unit, so it is at a uniform pressure and temperature, the fire sector is subdivided into three levels each has many compartments, the fire compartment is assumed to be in the second level. The following assumptions and limitations have been considered: -each compartment is considered to be at a uniform pressure and temperature, -fire is ignited at a certain compartment of the first platform the fire is considered medium, i. e., the growth time will be 300 seconds to reach 1000 kW heat release rate [5], -the density of gas (air and smoke) is assumed constant for all space except for the fire compartment, and -flashover temperature (which is the period of transition from the growth stage to the fully developed fire stage) is 600 °C [1]. The sealed sector is 12 m long, 9 m wide, and consists of three each has 2.25 m height, H fc , the fire compartment area, A fc , is 28 m 2 , and the leakage area through walls and doors, A L , is 0.01m 2 .…”

Since the dawn of history maritime transport was an essential part of human communication and development which mandates the rapid development of the ship industry. It was accompanied by disasters caused by several factors among them fire played an important role. Fire can cause structural damage which affects ship safety and smoke which is life threating to passengers and ship crow. Trapped smoke in ship compartments if not ventilated or released can reach higher temperatures leading to flashover situation which enable fire propagation. The FLUENT CFD calculations were performed to analyze smoke generation and propagation in closed ship compartments. The time to reach flashover is also calculated. Based on how sealed and tight the compartment is three different scenarios where studied in this analysis: running air-condition while compartment door is open, stopped air-condition while compartment door is closed, and finally running air-condition while compartment door is closed. The calculations show that, the last scenario which incorporates modified running air-condition scheme to mitigate smoke was the best scenario.

An application of fuzzy-AHP to ship operational energy efficiency measures

Lowering fuel consumption of ships has gained a great deal of attention in maritime industry with regards to both environmental and economic concerns. The potential for fuel economy in shipping ranging between 25% to 75% is possible by using existing technology and practices and technical improvements in the design of new ship. Despite the existence of many technology and design-based approaches, limitations of emerging these measures has led to discussions about the potential energy savings through operational changes. In this study, operational measures were examined within the scope of Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) adopted by International Maritime Organization (IMO). We applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP) approach, one of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques, to prioritize the weight of each measure. Fuzzy AHP effectively reflects the vagueness of human thinking with interval values, and shows the relative importance of operational measures - which can be the fundamental decision making data for decision makers (ships' masters, operating companies and ship owners) - by providing a strategic approach to identify energy efficient solutions
