Where these limits are impracticable having regard to the nature of the work the employer may apply a dose limit of 100 mSv in any period of 5 consecutive months subject to a maximum effective dose of 50 mSv in any single calendar year, and to prior approval by the Radiation Protection Adviser, the affected employee(s), and the Health and Safety Executive. 

The appropriate PPE should be selected and properly fitted for each affected employee based on the assessment.

The regulation states The report must be reviewed with all affected personnel whose job tasks are relevant to the incident findings, including contract employees where applicable. The aim of this clause is to ensure that all affected employees understand why the incident occurred and what actions could prevent a recurrence. While the regulation does not specifically define the methods to comply with this requirement, it is imperative that the review is prompt and complete. In almost all cases, the review requires personal meetings, either individually or in small groups, to thoroughly review the incident and recommend corrective actions. 

If several processes require PrHAs, the PrHAs must be prioritized. A preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) may be used to determine and document the priority order for conducting PrHAs. At a minimum, the PSM Rule requires the prioritization to consider the potential severity of a chemical release, the number of potentially affected employees, and the operating history of the process, including the frequency of past chemical releases and the age of the process. 

Activities documenting and tracking implementation of corrective actions or safety improvements are not part of a PrHA report. However, the PSM Rule requires a documented, integrated system for managing and monitoring action items. This system must assure that action items and recommendations are addressed and documented in a timely manner. Implementation schedules for corrective actions or safety improvements must be tracked. Finally, the system must assure that all affected operating and maintenance personnel and other affected employees are notified of planned actions. 

Under the management of change section of the PSM standard employees are required to develop and implement documented procedures to manage changes in the process chemistry, process equipment, and operating procedures. Before a change occurs (except for replacement-in-kind), it must be reviewed to ascertain that it will not affect the safety of the operation. After the change has been made, all the affected employees are trained, and a pre-startup review is conducted. 

Other incidents in which uncontrolled chemical reactions have affected employees and the surrounding public are listed in Section 1.3. These incidents have brought new awareness of the potential for uncontrolled chemical reactions to cause severe injuries and losses.

Learn from the pain, and train is the fourth step. Incorporate any changes that might be required after piloting and train all individuals who will be affected by this activity. For optimum acceptance, this training program must be introduced to all affected employees. Remember to train those on the fringe of direct operations such as environmental, shipping, and the like. 

The practices relevant to pharmacy include billing for items or services not actually rendered, duplicate billing, false cost reports, and acceptance of gifts by employees. Policies about appropriate pharmacy billing practices and acceptance of gifts from manufacturers should be developed and communicated to all affected employees, including nurses, billing clerks, pharmacists, and finance department officials. 

The first major element is Employee Participation [29 CFR 1910.119 (c)]. This requires that affected employees (those who could be affected by an incident) not only have access to pertinent Process Safety Management information, but also be allowed to provide input to its development and use. It is expected that affected employees will be trained in the standard s content. Many companies not only welcome employees input, but also involve them in the development and management of the individual elements. It is expected that all employee participation in PSM implementation will be documented. ... 

The design and construction of a chemical warehouse should consider possible loss scenarios that may affect employees, the surrounding population, the environment, the warehouse building and business continuity. Protection and mitigation features should be consistent with the characteristics of the materials stored, environmental and population vulnerability, and potential natural perils.

Musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremities (such as carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff tendinitis) due to work factors are common and occur in nearly tdl sectors of our economy. More than 2 hUlion in workers compensation costs are spent annually on these work-related problems. Musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper extremities due to work factors affect employees in every type of workplace and include such diverse workers as food processors, automobile and electronics assemblers, carpenters, office data-entry workers, grocery store cashiers, and garment workers. The highest rates of these disorders occur in the industries with a substantial amount of repetitive, forceful work. Musculoskeletal disorders affect the soft tissues of the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, and fingers.
