Osservatorio Sicurezza sul Lavoro - Analisi statistiche degli infortuni mortali nei luoghi di lavoro - Giugno 2011. Infortuni mortali sul lavoro: Analisi statistiche sugli infortuni Per tutti gli operatori della prevenzione degli infortuni sul lavoro, l’esigenza di analizzare statisticamente gli infortuni mortali sul lavoro nasce dalla necessità di individuare le circostanze che determinano gravi incidenti sul lavoro, per poter stabilire, di conseguenza, quali misure di sicurezza attuare per evitare tali eventi mortali. Queste sono le motivazioni che hanno spinto Vega Engineering, società di consulenza e di progettazione ingegneristica con sede a Mestre (VE), operante nei campi della Sicurezza sul Lavoro, dell’Ambiente e dell’Energia, ad organizzare un proprio “Osservatorio Sicurezza sul Lavoro” per rilevare le morti sul lavoro. Istituito nel 2009, l’Osservatorio Sicurezza sul Lavoro di Vega Engineering ha la caratteristica peculiare di essere in grado di monitorare in tempo reale i casi di incidenti mortali sul lavoro (morti bianche) che avvengono sul territorio nazionale.

Web workers do not live by tall Americanos alone. We need to eat too, and for many of us, that means billing clients for time spent on projects. But how do you keep track of that time? Here are half a dozen alternatives, each with their own pros and cons, for you to consider: Don’t track it at all. At the end of the month, use your memory and your powers of deduction to figure out what you can get away with, and bill clients accordingly. Pencil and paper. Spreadsheet. Accounting Application.

Over at Thinking Faster, Jeffrey Phillips shared an article from The Economist about projects taking longer than expected and going overbudget as a result. Jeffrey states that this is a result of "Sunny Side" thinking. In other words, planning as if everything goes according to plan with no obstacles or setbacks. Many project managers can be myopic in this area and not see the potential pot holes in the road ahead of their projects.
Being aware of these stumbling blocks and developing a system to accurately project deadlines can bring projects in on time and under budget. From time to time, we all find ourselves responsible for projects at home as well as at the office.

Whatever your skills as software developer or web designer (or whatever your web work career entails), you need to also understand the basics of estimating. Unless you’re doing utterly routine piecework (data entry from paper forms or perhaps transcription), estimating is more art than science. But there are some things you can do to increase your chance of turning out a good estimate: one that ends up bearing some resemblance to the time it takes to do the actual work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
