dc.description.abstractIn this project, a safety management information and tracking system is designed for a particular classified military organization. The enhancements to the performance of this Government facility's safety program provided by the design will improve the history of inefficiency, which is characterized by the 1.4 million spent annually on lost time, wages, and medical costs associated with accidents. The systems engineering and analysis process is applied to create a preliminary design for an enhanced safety information system at the Government organization. The system as proposed consists of a computer-based local area network and commercially available software interfacing with a bar code package and existing safety air monitoring equipment. The system is based on a streamlined version of current safety practices and processes in the Government organization. The design process includes a needs analysis, feasibility study, definition of operations and maintenance requirements, functional analysis, concept definition, system maintenance concept, reliability allocation, and cost analysis. Safety is a primary concern for this particular Government organization, as well as any employer, from a total performance perspective, including legal and cost ramifications. An improved safety information system will be more efficient, reducing time spent on paperwork, thereby allowing more time to spend implementing safety controls, saving approximately $978,000 and ultimately yielding a safer, healthier, more productive work environment.en
