Safety climate, which refers to the understanding people of safety, will be affected motivate people to do things safely, and safe behavior. This study aimed to determine the status of patient safety climate was conducted in two hospitals. In this Descriptive - analytic study, 200 persons from two major hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (hospitals Imam Khomeini and Shariati) were selected by simple random sampling. Demographic characteristics questionnaire and patient safety climate questionnaire (kudo), were the data collection tools. Validated questionnaire, by content validity, and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha, / 0 827, has determined. For data analysis, SPSS software version 18 and descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages, and also to compare the means, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. The mean age of par...

The most important parts of these industries are human resources and employees, that face with many various hazards. Therefore, in order to protect and increase the productivity these hazards must be identified and analyzed to be controlled. Methods: The present study focused on hazard identification and risk assessment in spinning sector of a textile industry as one of the important and strategic industries by using HAZAN method. For data gathering, different methods including HAZAN worksheet, risk detecting checklist, walking, talking, process plots and documents were used, and then risk assessment was carried out. Results: The finding represented 102 risks in the production line. Most of the risks were found in ring section (n=33), Flyer (n=26), Autoconer (n=18), Tightening (n=15) and Packing (n=10) respectively. 20.59% of these risks were 2nd rank (undesirable), 16.67% were 3rd rank (acceptable if controlled) and 6...

One of the most important parts of these industries are human resources, which face with many various hazards. The aim of this study was to conduct an assessment of potential hazards in the textile industry using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the spinning sector of textile industry. FMEA as one of the systematic risk assessment technique applied to each unit of the spinning sector to find out potential failure mods and its effects. Risk priority number (RPN) was determined based on severity, detectability and occurrence of hazards. Then PRN were categorized into low-risk (RPN ≤ 89), moderate risk (RPN = 90-199), and high risk level (RPN ≥ 200). Results: A total of 58 risk were found in 6 units of the spinning sector. 38% were found to be at high level 45% at middle level and 17% at low level. The packing unit, had the highest risk compared to other units. Lifting heavy loud in the packing unit has the highest RPN (384) and bobbin falling down in the ring unit has the lowest RPN (24). Conclusion: This study revealed that more than 80% of detected risk were unacceptable that showed hazardous condition for workers in textile industry. Lifting heavy louds followed by bobbing falling were the most hazardous task in this industry. The implementation of safety measures such as training programs, engineering and management controls were recommended.
