The proposed methodology offers a standardised procedure for incorporating both design and inspection/maintenance planning aspects of pipeline systems, thereby providing a more systematic, comprehensive procedure for risk-based inspection than previously available.
We welcome contributions that cover, but are not limited to, seismic SHM algorithms for identification and damage detection, requisite strong motion arrays and real time monitoring systems and projects, instrumentation and measurements methods and tools, optimal sensors location, experimental tests, integration of seismic SHM in procedures for risk assessment and emergency management.
The recommendations related to work organisational change (i.e. work scheduling and work practises such as teamwork and job extension, communication/social support networks) and organisational strategies (i.e. reporting systems for musculoskeletal ill heath; procedures for risk assessment; training programme design; equipment selection; maintenance procedures; workplace changes).
ISO/IEC 27005:2008 outlines procedures for risk assessment, but several of the steps can be addressed by using different approaches.
The BaSIS risk scores also provide a potential clinical comparator for examining the incremental prognostic value of advanced cardiac imaging or electrophysiological procedures for risk stratification.
In prior studies by high-level commissions, emphasis was given to improving the scientific basis and institutional procedures for risk assessment and risk regulation within existing statutory frameworks.
We argue that the conventional procedures for risk factor validation could be enhanced with the addition of a supplementary method that systematically assesses diverse independent lines of evidence.
Most important, sufficient resources should be allocated by governmental agencies and industries to be able to perform a scientifically based risk assessment and then establish justifiable procedures for risk management.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine a mortality prediction model with commonly used procedures and medications, and the results suggest the usability of procedure records for risk adjustment.
Generally, when the distribution of risk scores depends on platform and normalization procedure, cutoffs for risk group assignment need to be recalibrated.
