Allocation of Responsibility

Responsibility for corrective actions must be delegated to a Responsible Person (RP), work team, or department, and a completion date set All actions must be time-lined and should not be left open-ended. If not, they will never be completed. Actions must be positive. For example, I will tell employees to be more careful in future, is not a positive action. We will hold a five-minute team briefing on the importance of eye protection and reissue safety glasses to aU is more positive.

You should develop a documented procedure for the facility planning activity that will ensure the provision of adequate information on which to base plant design decisions. The procedures should provide for a separate development plan with allocation of responsibilities for the various tasks to be undertaken and should cover the layout, specification, procurement, installation, and commissioning of the new or revised plant. 

The human resourcing of the project defines WHO is actually going to carry out the WHAT of the project. The responsibilities for each aspect of the project are assigned to individual members of the team. This also allows any other responsibilities, which are outside their direct control, to be identified. On this basis the specific requirements of staff from each department or work group required for the programme to be a success will become clear. This definition and allocation of responsibilities can be illustrated in many ways. One of the simplest representations is a matrix, based on the activities identified in the work breakdown analysis and the functional responsibility within that activity (Table D2). 

The allocation of responsibilities for carrying out risk assessments of substances under the old system was also problematic, with the burden placed on public authorities rather than the enterprises that manufactured, imported or used the substances. Moreover, the risk assessments were required to be comprehensive rather than targeted and use-specific, resulting in a lengthy assessment process. By 2006, only 141 high-volume chemicals had been identified as priority substances for risk assessment. Information on uses of substances under the old system also tended to be incomplete, as only manufacturers and importers of chemicals were required to provide information, whereas downstream users (industrial users and formulators) were not, with only few exceptions. 

Enterprises need a certain internal organisation for chemicals control. A clear allocation of responsibility and efficient routines must be established within the company for control of the purchase of chemicals, data retrieval, hazard and risk assessment, classification, labelling, SDS, work instructions, training, exposure and emission control, etc. Obviously, smooth and efficient co-operation between actors in the supply chain simplifies the work of enterprises (c.f. Fig. 16.4). Enterprises may meet demands on expertise by making use of the skills of their chemical suppliers, by hiring their own experts or by hiring external expertise as consultants. Normally, a combination of these alternatives is used.

Corporations generally set broad quality goals and leave the path to achievement to the discretion of the individual business units. However, these broad goals do not lead directly to results. They must first be deployed to lower levels of the organization via division and subdivision of the objectives until they identify specific activities to be carried out and allocation of responsibility for performing those activities. Execution of the activities incorporated in this program collectively results in improving operational excellence. 

The Safety Plan specifies the safety activities (mainly the gathering and assessment of Evidence) to be conducted throughout the project lifecycle and the allocation of responsibilities for their execution. 

Radioactive waste shall be managed within an appropriate national l al framework including dear allocation of responsibilities and provision for independoit r nlatory functions. 

Safe radioactive waste management requires clear allocation of responsibilities to the parties involved (see Principle 6). The overall responsibilities cannot be delegated if work is performed by others, for example by contractors. 

In this specific context, the principles refer to the need for a National Legal Framework which ensures that radioactive waste is managed according to appropriate standards and with clear allocation of responsibilities and provision of independent regulatory Actions. This is an essential elemoit of a National System and it is described fully in the related RADWASS Safety Standard [2].

In the case of conflicting values, experts play a much more limited role. When values conflict, an in-depth dialogue about normative principles is crucial. Reflection and investigation are also necessary, but they tend to take a back seat. An in-depth dialogue between different (and frequently dissimilar) parties should offer a basis for joint action and for the allocation of responsibility, despite the normative differences. 

DAMAGE ARRANGEMENTS AS A BASIS FOR A BALANCED ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITY... 

We have not been able to carry out all the research necessary to study the classic question concerning the allocation of responsibility in the domain of physical safety. We will therefore conclude this document by listing what we consider the top three interdisciplinary studies on our list of priority social science research. Their results should help to take the following steps. 

On this basis, the allocation of responsibilities for the regulatory body should be along the following lines ...
