Statistical Methods for Analysis of Safe Use of Special Rescue Equipment, Part 2

Abstract

Due to ever increasing extremities of disasters and accidents, rescue operations have become more and more complicated, requiring both theoretically and practically better qualified rescue personnel. It is a serious problem that methods of using special rescue equipment, rely in many cases only on oral-based communication, while the offer of new equipment’s developed by manufacturers is growing dynamically.

The purpose of the study, based on forced distribution processing of the results of case study to prepare with Factor Analysis, is to answer the question how the users evaluate the usage safety of three selected rope technological devices. An additional purpose was, based on these results, to make suggestions on improving usage safety concerning these devices.

In this second part of my study, I analyze the results with Q-methodology for the safe use of equipment, in which I have used the previously given statistical results from study of Part I. and lesson learned.
