The industrial significance of new technology in the process of asymmetrical veneering of wood-based composites

Więckowska Magdalena, Grzegorzewska Emilia

Empirical research was carried out to determine the significance of new technology in the process of asymmetrical veneering of wood-based panels applied in the furniture industry. The study was conducted in two stages. The first of them comprised a questionnaire survey conducted among 80 medium and large Polish furniture enterprises. The second stage involved individual in-depth interviews. Twelve representatives from the furniture industry took part in qualitative research (CEOs, owners, technologists) along with nine experts representing research and development units connected with the furniture industry. On the basis of the research, the frequency of emergence of factors influencing the process of asymmetrical veneering of wood-based panels was determined. In addition, in-depth analyses were carried out involving the application of a subjective score-based evaluation of the problems of implementing this technology in the production process. This evaluation made it possible to identify problems from the point of view of a company currently conducting the process of veneering wood-based panels, or planning to implement this process. It may have an immediate effect in improving technological operations, while at the same time increasing the quality of the products sold.

Ripples in a Pond: An Open System Model of the Evolution of Safety Culture

Morley F. J. J., Harris D.

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics

2006

Vol. 12, No. 1

3--15

The development of an effective safety culture is essential to promote safe operations. Previous studies have either identified the characteristics of effective safety culture analytically, inferring them from signs and symbols derived from working practices, or have restricted the study of the development of safety culture to workers within an organisation. This paper describes a large-scale survey-based study in which the factors influencing the evolution of safety culture are identified empirically and, drawing upon open systems theory, are also extended beyond the bounds of the organisation. Three major determinants of safety culture are identified: safety concerns, influences and actions. Sub-components within each of these categories are also identified and the relationship between them is hypothesised.
