Administrative safety systems

To ensure that an operation is under control may necessitate atmospheric monitoring this is summarized in Chapter 9. General safety considerations, administration and systems of work requirements, including elementary first aid, are summarized in Chapter 11. For example, the recommended strategy is to include provision for appropriate first aid procedures within the system of work before specific chemicals are brought into use to so order work practices that the risk of exposure is minimized and in the event of an accident involving any but the most trivial injuries — with no foreseeable likelihood of complications or deterioration — to seek immediate medical assistance.

The plant s fire-safety system fully meets the requirements of the Fire Standards and Regulations for the Design of Industry Extraction Facilities which the deputy minister for medium machine-building approved on June 30, 1986, and which were consented to by the heads of main administrations and the Main Administration of Fire Protection of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. 

Administrative control of safety during NPP outages should be developed and implemented individually for every outage including co-ordination focusing on safety requirements, safety systems availability and safety functions success.

It replaces the American National Standard for Uniform Record Keeping for Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, ANSI Z16.4-1977, and USA Standard Method of Recordkeeping and Measuring Work Injury Experience, ANSI Z16.1-1967. This standard is a development of the old Z16.1, which had been in use since 1937, before it was replaced by the (for injury and iUness statistical research) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) system. The standard is useful in determining what kinds of events to evaluate. It includes statistical tools, including control charts, for data analysis. 

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has studied the fire behaviour of the engineering plastics that are now used as cabin materials. These would have a significant effect on postcrash fires that can pose the most serious threat to passenger safety. The results form part of a flammability and smoke properties database and create a benchmark for new fire safety systems. 

The design of the plant should be tolerant of human error. To the extent practicable, any inappropriate human actions should be rendered ineffective. For this purpose, the priority between operator action and safety system actuation should be carefully chosen. On the one hand, the operator should not be allowed to override reactor protection system actuation as long as the initiation aiteria for actuation apply. On the other hand, there are simations where operator interventions into the protection system are necessary. Examples are manual bypasses for testing purposes or for adoption of acmation criteria for modifications to the operational state. Furthermore, the operator should have an ultimate possibility, under strict administrative control, to intervene in the protection system for the purposes of managing beyond design basis accidents in the event of major failures within the reactor protection system. 

Nuclear power plants are provided with a series of automatic systems, in particular in the field of reactor protection and other safety systems. Many of these systems were designed to mitigate design basis events and may not be optimized for lesser events. Therefore, it may be necessary to override or modify the automatic safety functions as part of the EOPs. If it does become necessary to override or modify safety functions as part of the EOF actions the following administrative rules are recommended ... 

Viewed from this vantage point, government responds to stimuli in the form of actual violations of or presumed threats to physical violence because it needs to learn. Comparing its response to the biological one shows that the reflex itself is not necessarily the problem it is the proportionality of the reaction that is at issue. If the political and administrative defence system runs riot, then it will turn against society. But there is also something wrong if the political and administrative system fails to react at all after a serious safety incident. 

The Federal Aviation Administration s System Safety Handbook is also on the Internet as a free download. This is really a training manual. There are 17 chapters and 10 appendices—all individually downloadable as a separate pdf file. Enter Federal Aviation Administration System Safety Handbook into a search engine or go to http //www. faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/risk management/ss handbook/.
