Design of computer integrated safety and health management system

Abstract

Diverse safety and health operation data collected and stored in different departments have not been fully integrated and utilized by managers due to poor design of safety and health information system. The safety and health management system can be depicted, conceptually, as an organic system with circulation of information flow which carries required data and information to specified workers and initiates appropriate responses respectively. This study is targeting to solve the problems of current safety and health management system through the integration of human information processing theory, certified safety and health management assessment guidelines and regulations, and IT techniques. The objective of this study is to propose a framework of computer integrated safety and health management system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
