Safety systems have improved significantly on cars but largely bypassed the most vulnerable road users: those on motorcycles and scooters. Special report by Motoring Editor JOSHUA DOWLING.
Each time a motorcyclist sets off on a journey, be it for work or a weekend escape, he or she is four times more likely to die than a car driver.
If a motorcyclist happens to be involved in a crash with another vehicle, the risk of death increases yet again. In that event, a motorcyclist is 20 times more likely to die than a car driver. |

The technique of Hazard and Operability Studies, or in more common terms HAZOPS, has been used and developed over approximately four decades for 'identifying potential hazards and operability problems' caused by 'deviations from the design intent' of both new and existing process plants. Before progressing further, it might be as well to clarify some aspects of these statements. |

There are numerous types of safety studies and techniques; their abundance often leads
to confusion about what safety study should be carried out and when in the asset
lifecycle. Good planning is required to gain the most return for the investment made in
time, effort and money in these studies. Pressures on project budgets and schedules,
and the lack of competent resources in operating companies and service providers has
led to an erosion of the application of good engineering practice (such as the ICI 6 stage
hazard study process). |

NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) - U.S. safety officials have ordered a New

a problem that led to the largest tire recall in the U.S. in 2000.

undermines Shell's public commitment to improve its performance after a
fatal explosion on the Brent field in the North Sea in 2003 and raises
