ROBERTS, MA, FEng, FICE, FIMechE President 1986-1987 ' Introdnction Like my immediate predecessor, Donald Reeve, my career has beea spent in the water industry; but in addition to the UK, it has taken me to many parts of the world, in particular the Middle East, where the cradles of civilization were established 5000 years ago. 2. Visiting the sitesofthese ancient communitiesand seeing the structures they built has always fascinated me; the more I have seen of them, the moreI have and appreciated the vital role played by civil engineers in the development of civilization itself, as well as in theconstruction of thestructures and artefacts of antiquity, which were the hallmarks of the civilizations that created them...

- THE PROBLEM authorize additional safety measures, where needed, from a provisional sum of money included in the bill of quantities, I believe that another marked improvement in the accident statistics would be seen. As we approach the twenty-first century we must accept in our industry such safety measures as are necessary and the expense of applying them. The additional costs of installing seat belts, regular inspection of vehicles, renewal of tyres and other measures are not begrudged in the car industry, and similar measures for construction must also be accepted...

- ENGINEERINGFOR SAFETY Discussion Mr Tomasin The Paper is entitled `The problem'which infers there is only one problem. That is notintended. Today, there are two problems to which attention should be drawn. The first is the appalling accident record of the construction industry. This is illustrated by Table 1 and Fig. 1. There has been a distinct fall from 1983 to 1984 in the number of fatal accidents, which is very good and it is to be hoped that this trend will continue. Nevertheless a total of 133 is extremely high in relation to the number of people employed on site, whichisin the region of only threequarters of a million...

- SUMMARY 170. The other questionwas about noise. The problem here is that if staff wear ear muffs they may not hear the warning of trains or the lookoutman, so it has to be certain that it is quite safe to walk along the track with muffs over their ears. British Rail's traflic staff do not often have serious hearing problems. Most of these staff work on the railways for most of their working life, but their hearing problems are no morethan those of other workers. 171. The Kango hammers used to pack the track have attached equipment whereby the lookoutman cut off the power of the hammers when a train approaches...

- SUMMARY been brought out at this symposium. Identification of hazards is amatter of experience, but training can help. The common risks often do not cause problems, as they are fairly obvious, but where the trained engineer should be able to play his part is in the case of risks that are not so obvious. Examples are toxic gases, asphyxiating conditions in manholes, and so on. One must be constantly on the alert for a hazard on the job, when the structure is in operation or later when it is being maintained...
