Risk management has become a necessary activity in the administration of a hospital .The present study focused on assessment of some aspects of risk management in Main University Hospital in Alexandria (MUHA), including fire prevention and control measures , performance of hospital staff in providing some patient care activities and procedures which have the potential of risk of infection , knowledge of hospital staff regarding prevention of some occupational illnesses , training programs relevant to employees safety , and the role of relevant committees in implementation of risk management activities . The study was conducted in one general medical ward and one surgical ward in MUHA .Six checklists were designed to collect data about fire prevention and control measures and five patient care practices . Two questionnaires were prepared for interview with nurses , housekeepers and chairmen of safety related hospital committees namely : occupational health and safety committee , infection control committee and environment committee . The study revealed shortcoming of risk management in the MUHA .In spite of the presence of committee .

Treatability of Alexandria wastewater using pure oxygen activated sludge process Mahmoud F. El-Sharkawy Mekawy M. Akel Linda M. Saad Ghazy S. Abdel-Kerim Mohamed H. Ramadan Moetaz M. El-Sergany Environmental Health Dept., High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University Publisher: Presented in the fifth International Conference "The Role of Engineering in Improving the Environment", 11-13 December 2004, Alexandria University, Alexandria Abstract: Alexandria is the second largest city and main port of Egypt. It lies north west of the Nile Delta. Most of the collected sewage from the city is pumped to two wastewater treatment plants. Both plants are using primary treatment technology and discharge their primary treated effluents into lake Maryut. Therefore the discharges of these plants have resulted in more deterioration of the lake. In Alexandria, the population growth had also led to an increase in land cost due to rarity of land and expansion of residential areas. Accordingly, a suitable wastewater treatment technique characterized by less land requirement, less sludge production, high efficiency, and lower gaseous emissions should be considered. This study was carried out to investigate the treatability and feasibility of applying pure oxygen activated sludge process compared to air activated sludge process. Two pilot scale activated sludge units with internal solids circulation were used. One of these units was operated with compressed air and the second was operated with pure oxygen gas. The units were fed with the primary settled effluent of the East Treatment Plant. Both units were operated at different sludge ages and detention times. At each condition, both units were evaluated. The results showed that a satisfactory effluent quality could be achieved at sludge age of 6 days and detention time ranging from 5.5 to 9 hours, and at sludge age of 6 days and detention time ranging from 2 to 3 hours for air and pure oxygen activated sludge units, respectively. The pure oxygen system produced better effluent quality at higher Food/Microorganism (F/M) ratio than that of the air unit. Pure oxygen can produce a good settling activated sludge compared with the air activated sludge system. Lower sludge quantities could be obtained for the pure oxygen system compared to the air system operated at the same sludge age. Nitrification occurred in both systems during all the applied operating conditions. The feasibility study showed that pure oxygen system is better than air system in both plants in saving the cost of land required to achieve secondary treatment, and in the cost of sludge thickening. Finally, the study ended by some recommendations which are suitable for Alexandria city.

El-Sergany环境卫生系，亚历山大大学公共卫生高级研究所，出版于第五届国际会议“工程在改善环境中的作用”，2004年12月11-13日，亚历山大大学亚历山大是埃及的第二大城市和主要港口。它位于尼罗河三角洲的西北部。从城市收集的大部分污水被泵送到两个污水处理厂。这两家工厂都采用初级处理技术，并将初级处理后的废水排放到Maryut湖。因此，这些植物的排放导致了湖泊的进一步恶化。在亚历山大，人口的增长也导致了土地成本的增加，因为土地的稀缺和住宅区的扩大。因此，应考虑一种占地面积少、污泥产生量少、效率高、气体排放少的污水处理技术。本研究旨在探讨纯氧活性污泥工艺与空气活性污泥工艺的可处理性和可行性。使用了两个中试规模的内固体循环活性污泥装置。其中一个装置用压缩空气操作，另一个用纯氧气操作。这些装置是用东部处理厂的初级沉淀污水喂养的。两个装置在不同的污泥年龄和滞留时间下运行。在每种情况下，对两个单元进行评估。结果表明，空气和纯氧活性污泥装置在污泥龄为6天、滞留时间为5.5 ~ 9小时、污泥龄为6天、滞留时间为2 ~ 3小时时，出水水质较好。在较高的食品/微生物(F/M)比下，纯氧系统出水水质优于空气装置。与空气活性污泥系统相比，纯氧系统可产生较好的沉降活性污泥。与在相同污泥年龄下运行的空气系统相比，纯氧系统可以获得较低的污泥量。在所有应用的操作条件下，两个系统都发生了硝化反应。可行性研究表明，在两个装置中，纯氧系统在节省实现二级处理所需的土地成本和污泥浓缩成本方面都优于空气系统。最后，提出了一些适合亚历山大市的建议。
