Through the nineteen-sixties, however, attendants faced a range of discriminatory practices, including mandatory retirement upon reaching their early thirties or upon getting married, in addition to the predictable workplace hazards of long hours, drunken passengers, and "unofficial girdle checks" from pilots and crew members.
Such changes are fairly predictable, the occupational hazards (with tests, tenure battles, and committee work) of the academic professions.
The first, so-called "closed skills", are developed in hazard-free predictable environments with a high degree of spatial and temporal stability.
Such safety hazards are quite predictable — systematic failures are deterministic and random hardware failure rates can be predicted with reasonable accuracy — and the nature of the hazards will not change over time.
Hospital management and its built environment representing building and infrastructure systems within a defined boundary should perform in a predictable manner during and after a hazard event and/or disaster.
Performance-Based Design (PBD) methodologies is the contemporary trend in designing better and more economic earthquake-resistant structures where the main objective is to achieve more predictable and reliable levels of safety and operability against natural hazards.
Unlike some big natural hazards (floods, hurricanes, tropical storms and tsunamis) that are predictable, a variety of small emergencies are unpredictable.
But when the show is working, you lose the sense of safety with which most serials imbue their characters, the reassuringly predictable design of the plot, and feel instead the threat of death and betrayal, the hazards of chance and prevalence of barbarity.
Bush appointees have also coddled manufacturers in other ways — for instance, by allowing companies not to report hazards involving their products if the risk of injury is considered to be obvious or predictable, or if misuse played a role.
