Abstract: The construction sector has played a dynamic part in the economy by contributing a major portion of its GDP towards the development of infrastructure of Pakistan and also employment generation sector to help in minimizing the poverty ratio of the country. In the recent past, Pakistan has witnessed severe urbanization and that has not only added to problems of infrastructure but has added to problems related to waste management. Some of the activities undertaken in this work included; Reviewing literature to determine the current best knowledge on waste management, interviewing different stakeholders with a view of identifying the existing conditions, surveying to identify the current state of waste management. The primary recommendations discussed are: the encouragement of material re-used, the improvement of training activities, and the overall regulation of waste generation data collection. Hence, these recommendations are made in order to establish sustainable practices in Construction Industry in Pakistan along with improving the operation efficiency of waste management system. However, provided below are some preliminary recommendations which are designed to address the existing issues in waste management within the construction sector of Pakistan in general since the survey is still in progress. The three principles of waste disposal include waste minimization which is reduce, utilizing waste again, which is reuse, and recycling.

Abstract: Safety management system is a kind of aviation safety management idea^[1]. With the mileage increase of the high-speed railway of China, there is an urgent need to establish a structured safety management system according to its own characteristics, which can ensure the safe operation of high-speed railway. First this paper considers the life cycle of high-speed railway, then learns aviation safety management system, and studies the operation characteristics of high-speed railway, finally this paper establishes the system based on the theory of PDCA、risk management, and the principle of the system. The safety management system of high-speed railway have four modules: the basic module, operation module, supervision module, improvement module.

Abstract: The work on Airlines security risk assessment at home and abroad is mainly confined to safety evaluation, and the research on security risk assessment is very few. Taking an example of flight safety system of an airline, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to calculate the value of the risk of flight safety system based on risk assessment matrix. Flight safety risk assessment index system is established, and weights of the index system are determined by analytic hierarchy process. The indicators relevant values of risk probability and severity are calculated respectively by using fuzzy evaluation. And ultimately the values of flight safety risk assessment are gotten. Example calculations demonstrate the feasibility, effectiveness and practicality.

Abstract: This paper identifies the trends in existing literatures on management system standards such as Quality (Q), Environmental (E), Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), and Energy (En) Management System (MS). Literatures related to these management system standards (MSSs) and its integrations published between year 1980 to 2012 have been critically analyzed. It provides a general overview of the Integrated Management System (IMS) implementation and the composition of MSSs in developing IMS in various organizations. Based on the analysis, it is firm that the integration of these four (4) MSSs has not been well established. Despite that, the recurring themes of the literatures related to IMS are mainly, model for implementation, strategies and guidelines for implementation, benefits of implementation, barriers/ problems of implementation, audit of IMS, Critical Success Factors for implementing IMS and IMS Audits.

Abstract: The safety management system assessment (SMSA) model was built up on the basis of set-pair analysis (SPA) theory and its effectiveness was verified by practical application research. The assessment model of five-element identical-discrepant-antithetical connection number vector was formed in that the indicators were divided into five grades. The calculation of connection number component was simplified as rigorous rules were made for the grades division of indicators. The judging rule of grading safety management system (SMS) was established under the principal of confidence level. The applied research was conducted, which demonstrated that the SPA based assessment model could provide credible conclusion because the results highly agreed with those of BNWSS audition. In addition, this model can be applied to assess SMS of all levels and makes scientific judgment for future state of SMS.

Abstract: With sustained economic development in China and the acceleration of grid construction, the number of new or expanding substations construction has increased dramatically. As a major line of defense to achieve the production of Power Company, security management of relay protection and security automatic devices has a direct impact to the safety production. proposes to build relay protection safety management system based on workflow to deal with the security management requirements of power supply enterprise by analyzing implementation processing of the operation management system and inspection procedures of relay protection in certain power company, and some of which have been in the company management system and achieved good application.

Abstract: In recent years, the construction industry has flourished in China. Through investigating construction safety accident data of one city and combing with engineering construction site, construction works risk control system was built. We used fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to access the risk of the factors and made a conclusion that the safety management and construction conditions should be primarily controlled in construction works. Finally, a preliminary study was done about Construction Project Safety Management System.

Abstract: This paper discusses the strategies for integrating Quality, Environmental, Safety and Health Management Systems based on survey and case studies results. Questionnaires were distributed to 87 companies that certified with both ISO9001 and ISO14001. Meanwhile, three case studies were conducted at the manufacturing companies that have integrated several management systems. There are two ways of integrating the management systems which are: (1) consecutive implementation of management systems followed by integration or (2) integrate the management systems simultaneously from the beginning. Based on survey and case studies, it was found that many organisations started with implementing individual management system first, and then followed by integrating the management systems. Almost all the survey respondents agreed that the sequence should start with establishing Quality Management System first, and then integrate with Environmental Management System and followed by Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

Abstract: On April 20, 2010, an explosion rocked the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico resulting in the deaths of 11 workers. Tens of thousands of documents were released during the investigation for the root cause of the explosion."What emerges is stark and singular fact: crew members died and suffered terrible injuries because every one of the Horizon's defenses failed on April 20. Some were deployed but did not work. Some were activated too late, after they had almost certainly been damaged by fire or explosions. Some were never deployed at all.(Barstow et al. 2011)". Parallels with the aluminium industry standout when comparing the Deepwater Horizon disaster (e.g. violent explosions, damaged equipment, worker deaths and worker injuries). The list of aluminium industry catastrophes is not short: Binzhou Weiqiao Aluminum, Reynolds Alabama, Alcan France, etc. Aluminium plants, just as deepwater oil rigs, value training and safety measures to prevent accidents from occurring. But, on April 20, 2010 every safety measure employed failed, could the safety measures employed in a casthouse to prevent a molten metal steam explosion fail too

Abstract: Based on discussed the characteristics of highway traffic accidents’ severity and distribution in detail, this paper puts forward a new approach that is use safety management system to improve highway safety, establishes it’s logical architecture, puts emphasis on the advantage of institution, standard, safeguard, supervision and implementation.
