When large magnitude earthquake waves reach a city, the devastation delivered does not wipe out entire blocks or neighbourhoods. Instead, individual buildings may fall, while others next door are wholly undamaged. Why does this happen? What are strategies or devices that architectural engineers can employ to limit or prevent collapse or destruction to occur?

Workplace Safety

A workplace can be referred to as a space where people work together for the accomplishment of a common goal of the organization. Here, people can be a worker, an employee, and an employer. A person can be said to be an employer if he/she gets the job of organizational goal accomplishment through other persons, and that person gets paid for his/her service. All employees can also be referred to as workers. An employer may also hire workers of other categories which require specialized skills to finish a work. Both employees and workers along with the employer form the primary occupants of a workplace.
