The paper presents a semi-quantitative methodology developed to help Italian local authorities in... facing multi-risk aspects in their Land Use Planning practices. The methodology acts as a pre-screening of the risks present on the territory, highlighting the areas more exposed to risk and risk interactions, also taking into account aspects neglected by the sectorial plans.

When the historical archives are concerned, usually closed and controlled environment are
consid...ered, protected from the threats from ambient conditions, fires and different kind of pest. What
is becoming evident by the historical events is that archives are vulnerable to the acute events, as

Process industry is characterized by the existence of several, usually competitive, technical sol...utions that can be used to achieve a certain result. In this paper competing technologies for the treatment of lean VOC-air mixtures are compared on the basis of more relevant operational parameters: the energy consumption, the out-of-service time and monetary risk.

Food and Drink Industry (FDI) has a strong contribution to EU-28’s economy as reported by Eurosta...t (2014). FDI involves more than 4,25 millions of workers divided in 289000 companies with a relevant degree of diversification.

This paper discusses the objectives and early results of the project PROAGE, funded by INAIL unde...r the Saf€ra framework. The aim is to better control of the ageing of equipment, to quantify the impact of operating modes on system reliability, to estimate their residual life and to adapt the maintenance strategy, while respecting safety, regulation and operational performance.

Nowadays, several pieces of equipment are running over their expected life-time. An equipment rev...amping could solve the situation, but, it is often not possible for economical reasons, regulatory constraints, etc..

Ensuring proper education for employees represents a key factor in most of the industrial sectors.... Several researches have been conducted in order to test the efficiency of new educational methods for improving their flexibility and effectiveness.

Despite an increase in the process automation, different activities remain mainly operator driven..., as the loading and unloading of tankers, maintenance operations, and so on. In these cases, the activities performed by the operator can be critical, both for the safety and for the product quality. Optimizing the operational procedures is thus a key factor for quality and safety.
