Risk assessment in manufacturing work environments gives a relevant contribution to health and sa...fety management for the operators: hazards are identified, and the associated risks are quantified in order to promote the risk mitigation and to improve the safety level for all the workers involved.
Freezing of the paper material is a way to control the growth of microorganisms and the possibili...ty of “acute” biodeterioration and illness, after accidental events, e.g. flooding. But as the paper-born microorganisms can survive after lyophilisation, they must be controlled also
In Cuba, more than 50 % of the electricity generation capacity is based on small-scale distribute...d power plants, which
guarantee the energy supply-demand from fossil fuels. Several negative environmental impacts are associated with this,
including contamination by oily residuals. The purpose was to diagnose oily residuals management in Cubans distributed

To improve industrial safety, several hazard analyses of processes are available. The HAZOP is on...e of the most frequently employed and analyzes hazardous process deviations based on heuristic knowledge. Despite the wide application of the technique, new developments are especially important to enhance industrial safety.
When major accident scenarios are considered, the effects of major events which give rise to a se...rious, immediate or deferred danger to human health or the environment, inside or outside the production or storage area due to the presence in high quantities of one or more dangerous substances are being considered.
