Building plan review

A loss prevention and control service organization maintained for the policyholders of three major industrial and commercial property insurance companies Allendale Insurance, Arkwright, and Protection Mutual Insurance. Factory Mutual provides loss control engineering, loss adjustment, insurance appraisals, building plan review, research, and education services. Fire and loss prevention equipment that has passed specific FM testing standards are considered acceptable for fire protection service and are provided with an FM listing or label. 

Although my visit to Wilmington had no very concrete results, it did serve to alleviate the tension between the Company and the Theoretical Section. This had favorable effects on the main assignment of the Theoretical Section as fas as W was concerned on the review of the blueprints for W which were prepared by the Company. With respect to these, the procedure set up by the Army stipulated that they could not be executed before the Laboratory gave its approval. This approval was given by Allison who was the Director of the Laboratory but, at least in the case of the pile building which was, as far as I know the only building seriously reviewed by the Laboratory, Allison s approval was always based on our evaluation of the plans embodied in the blueprint. Our evaluation was communicated to him in a memo, usually written by me. 

Something as basic as a new facility needs to be reviewed carefully to identify hidden hazards— for example, the fire system, security, and environmental issues. This is often overlooked. A design that seems to enhance production of your product and appears to be a marvel to the architect may be a harmful or even fatal management decision. Safety professionals should take a careful look at all design/building plans prior to final approval [2]. 

You will need a daily planner, a calendar with space to write, or a personal digital assistant to build your plan. You have already determined the time you have free for study. Now you need to fill in the details. You have also figured out what you need to study, and have broken the material down into smaller chunks. Assign one chunk of material to each of the longer study sessions you have planned. You may need to combine some chunks or add some review sessions depending on the number of long study sessions you have planned in your schedule. 

Thia began to handle the day-to-day work of building awareness within ST, reviewing business plans and working with prospective entrepreneurs. For the first time in 2002, Incubators Work conducted an Entrepreneurs Day, broadly advertised throughout ST, which significantly increased its visibility. Thia notes, The new CEO agreed... 

Recommendation 17. Throughout closure operations, the sequence and extent of building demolition should be planned to ensure continuous separation of contaminated waste from uncontaminated waste. Professional engineers should review the proposed sequence and extent of demolition actions. The effects of demolition on structural integrity in the event of a contingency condition (such as a typhoon) should be considered. A system of work permits and controls should be established for operation of heavy equipment...

The major problem for control based on material states, however, is the quality control culture that requires that parts be accepted based on adherence to a preset cycle within specified limits. Because state-based inferential control systems could theoretically come up with a new cure cycle every time, this sort of specification cannot be used with such systems. Specifications instead have to be in terms of the process plan used for the cure. The satisfactory completion of a certain cure history without alarm states would be assumed to produce an acceptable part. Once the culture was able to accept that difference for autoclave curing, production costs at the U.S. air force s McClellan AFB Logistic Center were substantially reduced [32], This type of specification could also give material review boards a head start on investigations because they would know that a part did not meet specification as well as what sorts of flaws might result from the deviation. The experience at McClellan is that there are fewer parts to review. It is even conceivable that, with improvements to sensors, much of the current postcure nondestructive evaluation used to verily the quality of parts could be incorporated into the process, building quality in rather than inspecting it in after the fact. 

On satisfactory completion of the requirement review and issue of an agreed-upon FDS by the chosen supplier, the design activities can proceed. Throughout design, development, and system build, the supplier, under its project and quality plan, must allow for review of life-cycle activities and documentation in support of the pharmaceutical manufacturer s DQ. 

Build in a review of and revise the strategic plan at appropriate intervals and revise as necessary. 

The key to the process is to understand the system that is being proposed. It is good practice for the auditor to spend time reviewing the User Requirement Specification and the system descriptions and understanding of what software categories exist for the proposed system. This should be followed up, with the postal audit checklist. This will also provide valuable information to enable the auditor to plan the audit. Available information should be used to customize the audit checklist to address the specific issues that are relevant to both the supplier and proposed project. Consider, for example, a system that includes hardware and software, where some of the software is custom, other parts are configurable and yet others are part of a standard package. The auditor will need to establish how each part of the system will be developed, and how the build phase will be controlled. There may even be more than one supplier. The auditor would need to split up the main elements and examine how each part of the system will be built.
