Occupational hazard is a danger that’s inherent in a particular work requirement or environment. It is a job which entails a greater risk than that to the population at large‚ such as a risk of illness from exposure to toxic materials‚ mining disters‚ etc. Occupational hazards are regulated by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). OSHA defines an occupational illness as‚ "any abnormal condition or disorder‚ other than one resulting from an occupational injury‚ caused by exposure

3.1 Metabolic Load: The metabolic activities inside human body constantly create heat and humidity (i.e. perspiration). This heat passes through the body tissues and is finally released to the cabin air. This amount is considered as a heat gain by the cabin air and is called the metabolic load. The metabolic load can be calculated by Qmet = Σ MADU Passengers Where M is the passenger’s metabolic heat production rate. (It is assumed from ISO 8996 based on various criteria for driver: M = 85 W/m2

INTRODUCTION Load frequency control (LFC) or Automatic generation control (AGC) is an emerging issue in electric power systems. The objective is to maintain the system frequency and the power exchange between the areas within specified limits‚ irrespective of sudden change in load. The prime mover governing system provides a means of controlling power and frequency; and this function commonly called Load Frequency Control or Automatic Generation Control. The automatic load frequency control

Environmental Hazards The Four Categories of Human Environmental Hazards There are many exposures to hazards in our environment today that brings along the risk of an injury‚ different types of diseases‚ and even in some cases death. These hazards are called human environmental hazards. There are four categories to human environmental hazards which we will discover and discuss further in detail and they consist of cultural hazards‚ biological hazards‚ physical hazards‚ and chemical hazards (Wright &

Environmental Hazards Environmental hazards consist of cultural‚ biological‚ physical‚ and chemical hazards (Wright‚ Boorse‚ 2014). With a wide array of other hazards in each category there is plenty to choose from and makes one wonder why we continue to survive among so many potential hazards. I will be focusing on one type of hazard from each category to show what threats there are and a way to combat the threat. One example of a cultural hazard is smoking which accounts for over 400‚000 deaths
