Talonrakennushankkeen laatu- ja turvallisuussuunnitelmien kehittäminen toteutusvaiheessa
No full textTässä opinnäytetyössä kehitettiin talonrakennushankkeen pääurakoitsijalle laatu- ja turvallisuussuunnitelmat Tampereelle rakennettavaan sairaalahankkeeseen. Suunnitelmat sisältävät toimintamenetelmiä, jotka varmentavat rakennushankkeen toteutusvaiheen laadullisen ja turvallisen toteutumisen. Suunnitelmissa on otettu huomioon Suomen lainsäädäntö, rakennusalaa koskevat säännökset, hankekohtaiset asiakirjat ja kohdekohtaiset olosuhteet. Tämän opinnäytetyön on hyväksynyt pääurakoitsija ja rakennuttaja. Suunnitelmat ovat kokonaisuudessaan käytössä työmaalla ja soveltuvat käytettäviksi myös muihin tuleviin pääurakoitsijan kohteisiin.
Opinnäytetyössä perustellaan laatu- ja turvallisuussuunnitelmien menetelmiä, jotka varmentavat ja hyödyttävät rakennustyömaan laadun- ja turvallisuustavoitteiden saavuttamista. Opinnäytetyöntekijä perehtyi rakennusalan laatu- ja turvallisuutta määritteleviin lakeihin, ammattijulkaisuihin ja hankeasiakirjojen vaatimuksiin sekä niiden perusteisiin. Olemassa olevia suunnitelmia kehitettiin toimivammiksi, nykyvaatimusten mukaisiksi ja kohdekohtaisimmiksi. Niihin laadittiin myös uusia osia sovittaen yhteen vallitsevien olosuhteiden, työmaaor-ganisaation sisäisten toimintamenettelyiden, opinnäytetyön laatijan kokemuksen ja riskien ehkäisykeinojen vaatimat toimet.
Opinnäytetyön tuloksena saatiin ajanmukaiset, kattavat ja tarpeeseen sopivat laatu- ja turvallisuussuunnitelmat, jotka löytyvät tämän opinnäytetyön liitteistä 1 ja 2. Liitteet rajautuvat pois opinnäytetyöjulkaisusta salassapitovelvoitteiden vuoksi.In this thesis, quality and safety plans were developed for the main contractor of a building construction project for the hospital project to be built in Tampere. The plans include operating methods that ensure the quality and safety of the implementation phase of the construction project. The plans consider Finnish legislation, regulations concerning the construction industry, project-specific documents, and site-specific circumstances. The plans have been approved by the responsible foreman and builder and are in use at the construction site of the thesis. The plans are so comprehensive that they can be applied to other future sites of the construction company.
The thesis justifies the methods of quality and safety plans that verify and benefit the achievement of quality and safety goals on the construction site. The thesis worker became acquainted with the laws defining the quality and safety of the construction industry, professional publications and the requirements of project documents and their basics. Existing plans were developed to be more functional, in line with current requirements and more site-specific, and new components were drawn up in coordination with the prevailing conditions, the internal operating procedures of the site organization, the experience of the thesis author and risk prevention measures.
As a result of the thesis, up-to-date, comprehensive, and appropriate quality and safety plans were obtained, which can be found in the appendices 1 and 2 of this thesis. Attachments are cropped away from the thesis publication due to confidentiality obligations

The everchanging reputation of Jimmy Carter
No full textJimmy Carter seemed to be the appropriate presidential candidate in the election of 1976 due to his personal characteristics of honesty, devotion to others and his incredible work ethic. He provided a type of possible salvation from the dual fiascos of Watergate and Vietnam, which had caused many Americans to simply write the political system off as corrupt, especially the presidential office. The political climate post Watergate is important to understand as well as the type of man Americans were willing to elect in 1976. Many scholars have looked to the Moral Jimmy (Morris Jimmy Carter: American Moralist) as just that type of man and yet that same trait may have made getting anything done a more difficult task in Washington. From his childhood and through his Naval career, Mr. Carter personified the small town boy. Growing up in a small Southern peanut farm, the Carters were never a rich family. Often waking early in the morning to help his father with chores, a sense of hard work was ingrained at an early age. Religion played a key role in his upbringing, as did the role of family, especially his mother. Incensed by the inequities he found in his post WWII hometown he entered politics. From a Georgia Senate seat to the governor's mansion, Carter worked hard, promised not to lie, and to be thrifty with the people's money. (Carter, Why Not the Best, Bourne, Jimmy Carter and Hyatt, The Carters of Plains) The Election of 1976 was in many ways a new type of election, altered by legislation hoping to curb the powers of an imperialistic president and yet it was also dominated not by the issues that had dominated early elections, for example civil rights and the policies in Vietnam. (Schram, Running for President 1976: The Carter Campaign, Bitzer and Rueter, Carter v Ford: The Counterfeit Debates of 1976) Instead, it was a contest between two men promising healing and a new outsider perspective. In many ways, American voters said that they wanted a man of integrity first and then worry about the issues the nation was facing because without trust all else was a mute point. (see Appendix M: Carter's Acceptance Speech at the Democratic Convention) Everything about his childhood and political career seemed to say that Carter was sincere in his goals, yet as crisis after crisis arose during his presidency he found it increasingly difficult to balance his personal feelings of morality with the political massaging necessary to get things done in Washington. From the Middle East to the economy, the Iranian hostage situation and the environment, Carter was always trying to do the "right thing." The hard work turned out to be overworked and the honesty was sometimes too honest for many American to swallow. (See Carter's "Crisis of Confidence" Speech) Of course, Carter's presidency has been viewed as ineffective and filled with contradictions (Mollenhoff, The President Who Failed: Carter Out of Control and Kaufman, The Presidency of James Earl Carter Jr.) In many ways the characteristics that made Carter a viable and popular candidate also hampered his ability to participate in the political process. Carter struggled with his desire to do the right thing in a world where that was not always possible. However once free from the constraints of the Oval Office, Congress and the constant scrutiny of the press, a Carter enveloped by his passions is revealed. (Brinkley, The Unfinished Presidency) Carter's human rights efforts around the world have been recognized, including a Noble Prize.application/pdfThesis/Project (M.A.)--Humboldt State University, American History, 2005
