Avoidance of hazards

Regarding electrostatic ignition sources, see the subsection Static Electricity, later. In addition, see CENELEC CLC/TR 50404, Electrostatics—Code of Practice for the Avoidance of Hazards due to Static Electricity, June 2003. 

The essence of the inherently safer approach to plant design is the avoidance of hazards rather than their control by added-on protective equipment (Kletz 1998). It particularly emphasizes eliminating large inventories of hazardous materials where feasible. 

An additional benefit of the internal conditioning is the avoidance of hazardous wastes and significant (< 50%) reduction of the waste volume. 

In this article are reviewed problems associated with the safe handling of hazardous devices and materials of interest, primarily for military applications. The subject matter will be examined from the point of view of hazard prevention, of hazard assessment and of damage control. Naturally, as most such systems present some hazard, the problem becomes one of quantifying the magnitude of the risk. Hence one can describe the subject of safety as a discipline defining the degree of hazard, which determines the precautions required for avoidance of hazards and one which determines the adequacy of protection for personnel and facili-...

As safety practice further evolves, the required attention will be more often given to the avoidance of hazards in the design and redesign processes. As more safety professionals are successful in establishing themselves as consultants in those processes, they will become more fomiliar with concepts of risk and how risk reduction is effectively achieved. 

It is often overlooked that the manufacturing pathway to ultimately synthesize a product may in fact go through a series of chemical intermediates. This principle seeks to minimize the hazards associated with these intermediates. It is important to make the distinction that this principle is focused on materials that, in a perfect world, should not appear in the product. However, when considering worker exposure and the other associated costs related to handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials, the avoidance of hazardous intermediates is extremely important. Reducing the hazards associated with the way a product is made can drastically reduce worker liabilities, contribute towards worker health and safety, and minimize the potential for chemical accidents.

Environmental impact may mean the saving of resources, the minimization of emissions including disposal, or the avoidance of hazardous substances. The public emphasis concentrates presently on minimization of emissions if we consider the debate on global warming or on dioxins. But saving of resources will obtain equal importance in the future if the limited availability of fuel will get more public awareness again. 

The serious violation stems from the lack of employee instruction in recognition and avoidance of hazards associated with the belt paving machine. OSHA issues a serious citation when death or serious physical harm is likely to result from a hazard that an employer knew or should have known about. 

YES / NO Employees and supervisors are knowledgeable of the project safety and health plan, avoidance of hazards, applicable standards, and their rights and responsibilities. 

The prognosis in myoadenylate deaminase deficiency appears to be excellent, with no evidence for progressive debilitation or structural damage in the absence of other disease, and therapy should be aimed at reassurance, and the avoidance of hazardous and ineffective long-term drug treatment. 

How the team is able to meticulously and systematically utilize the information for identification of deviation has an impact on the study. Therefore avoidance of hazards is directly related to effectiveness of the study. The ability of the team for creative thinking and systematic analysis influences the quality of the report.

In ISO 13849-1 again only two probabilities of avoiding of hazard levels are used, and they are called PI and P2 (the P2 is to be used, if there are no/little chances to avoid the hazardous situation). 

Avoidance of Hazardous Materials and Pollution The avoidance of hazardous materials and pollution is measured via an average of the normalized fife cycle impacts in TRACI categories of respiratory effects, human health cancer, human health noncancerous, and ecotoxicity [152]. 

Finally, building a strong safety climate makes meeting healthcare safety regulations much easier. We place regulatory compliance last because we regard it as necessary but woefully insufficient to the avoidance of hazards for patients and employees.
