Environmental impact assessment Approach to Dynamic Safety Evaluation : A Liquefied Natural Gas Plant Case Study
No full textInternational audienceIndustrial discharges pose global ecological risks. This study investigates Algeria’s GL1K (gas liquification complex of Skikda) plant’s hazardous effluents. The impact assessment evaluates the environmental repercussions of the researched facilities, including the effects on populations and their way of life. Thus, it is possible to stress suggestions to improve facility design to remove or restrict negative effects and to minimize or compensate for the current facility’s unfavorable repercussions. This technique is consistent with establishing and monitoring the industrial plant’s environmental management system. The method utilized to determine impacts in this EIA can be used to evaluate the EMS’s significant aspects and effects and provide improvement options. An evaluation matrix can rate impacts, the grid and criteria are based not regulation but on “good practices” for this type of assessment, and results obtained from modelling the effects using PHAST software. Therefore, they can be modified to fit the facility’s activity. Based on examining activities and identifying elements likely to interact with the environment, environmental aspects are identified using the proposed grid and criteria. This study describes a section-by-section approach. Each determined environmental impact can be graded based on environmental factor criteria
Relationship between Coping Strategies and Burnout among Health and Safety Workers in an Algerian Refinery: The Moderating Role of COVID-19 Threat Perception
Full text linkThe current study examined the association between coping strategies and job burnout among health and safety workers of Algerian petroleum refinery, exploring the moderating effect of COVID-19 threat perception. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administrated structured questionnaire between August 2020 and September 2020 among 100 health and safety workers of an Algerian petroleum refinery. Correlations and Moderated linear regressions were used to analyze the data via SPSS V26 and process macro V3.5.3. Results were significant at CI=0.95 and p ≤0.05. The findings indicate that higher problem-focused strategies have been linked to reduced levels of burnout among health and safety workers (B= -4.225, SE= 1.262, p= .001). In contrast, emotion-focused strategies were not related significantly to burnout. COVID-19 threat perception acts as a moderator and mitigates the significant negative relationship between problem-focused strategies and job burnout (B= -1.1947; SE= .4720; p= .0130). This study contributes to new theoretical and empirical perspectives on the relevance of effective coping strategies to tackle burnout at the organizational and individual levels during the COVID-19 pandemic
