Verification of Safety Rules using NLP

van Gulijk, C. (author), Holmes, V. (author)

A key step in the design of digitally enabled safety systems is the development of an Enterprise Architecture model (EA). The design of EA models tends to be a complex job that is usually performed by IT specialists that are not trained in safety. Very often, these EA models contain safety rules that are not well understood by IT specialists but...

Modelling Human-Robot Interaction to Optimize Their Safety, Sustainability and Efficiency: Identifying Relevant Characteristics

Steijn, W.M.P (author), van Oosterhout, J. (author), Willemsen, J. (author), Jansen, A. (author)

Recent developments have introduced so-called cobots or cooperative robots, which place the machines on the work floor next to employees. A new challenge arises to keep these human robot interactions, safe and healthy, while also maintaining the sustainability and efficiency of the interaction. Here, we present a model, which can be a valuable...

Injury rates are a thing of the past: building better performance measures for better conversations to provoke change. The Oil & Gas industry has measured safety performance using Injury frequency rates for the last 40 years. Industry thinking is based on the premise that: if we do not have injuries then we are safe, and if we have injuries we...
