This study aims to investigate how law enforcement officers’ attitudes toward occupational attributes of safety, appearance, and comfort affect their wearing behavior of High-Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA). The results suggest that attitudes toward safety and appearance positively affect wearing behavior of HVSA. To the contrary, an attitude toward comfort is not associated with wearing behavior of HVSA. In addition, environmental factors such as providing organizational safety culture, regulation, and training are found to be necessary for changes in an individual’s attitudes and behavior toward HVSA.

ABSTRACT The use of low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as ideal alternatives to the current expensive methods for removing dyes from waste water. Orange peel (OP) was used as a low cost natural waste adsorbent for textile dyes from aqueous solution. The effectiveness of (OP) in adsorbing ;C.I. Direct Red 79 (DR 79) and C.I. Direct Yellow 27 (DY 27) from their dye baths has been studied as a function of pH, solid/liquid ratio, agitation time and initial dye concentration. The sorption isotherms were analyzed using Langmuir and Frendlich models. The results indicated that acidic solutions supported the adsorption of the studied dyes within (OP). Adsorption kinetic models were analyzed using the pseudo-first, second order equation and intraparticle diffusion equation. The results showed that the order equation fitted the experimental data very well. By the way, the effect of adsorbent surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), whereas the SEM images showed reasonable agreement with adsorption measurements.
