This test should be performed by trained or certified personnel who introduce DOP aerosol upstream of the filter through a test port and search for leaks downstream with an aerosol photometer. Remove air diffusers and airflow laminators before performing the test (whatever is applicable) to get access to the filters. 

All public and private health insurers in the United States distinguish between inpatient, outpatient, and home health insurance benefits. So, whether or not an individual has insurance coverage for a prescription drug depends not only on whether he or she has health insurance but also on the setting in which the drug is prescribed and administered. Inpatient benefits cover services and products used in hospitals and sometimes in nursing homes. Outpatient benefits are for services or products obtained in clinics or offices of health professionals home health care benefits are for services or products provided by certified personnel to patients at home.2...

The National system of accreditation gives much attention to the training and qualification of NDT personnel. Significant subjective component, such as training and qualification of personnel, is present in NDT implementation and assessment of its results, thus all specialists carrying out NDT must be certified in compliance with CTBEH 473. 

If available government agencies do not have personnel with the appropriate skills to assist in solving your lAQ problem, they may be able to direct you to firms in your area with experience in indoor air quality work. Note that even certified professionals from disciplines closely related to lAQ issues (such as industrial hygienists, ventilation engineers, and toxicologists) may not have the specific... 

Immediate facility evacuation should be considered as a prime safeguard for all personnel from a major incident. All onsite personnel should be fully trained and where required certified for such an eventuality (i.e., offshore evacuation mechanisms). 

The last known naturally occurring case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977. In May 1980, the World Health Assembly certified that the world was free of naturally occurring smallpox. By the 1960s, because of vaccination programs and quarantine regulations, the risk for importation of smallpox into the United States had been reduced. As a result, recommendations for routine smallpox vaccination were rescinded in 1971. In 1976, the recommendation for routine smallpox vaccination of health-care workers was also discontinued. In 1982, the only active licensed producer of vaccinia vaccine in the United States discontinued production for general use, and in 1983, distribution to the civilian population was discontinued. All military personnel continued to be vaccinated, but that practice ceased in 1990. Since January 1982, smallpox vaccination has not been required for international travelers, and International Certificates of Vaccination forms no longer include a space to record smallpox vaccination.

Plant personnel, if trained but not certified, can perform minor repairs (approximately the size of a hand), taking special precautions regarding dust, sweep, or vacuum particles suspected of containing asbestos. The fibers are so small that they cannot be seen and can pass through normal vacuum cleaner filters and get back into the air. The dust should be removed by a wet-mopping procedure or by specially designed HEPA vacuum cleaners used by trained asbestos contractors. 

This test shall be performed only by certified or previously trained personnel. 

Level II areas are classified as class 1000 areas and restricted to personnel who are certified to be gowned for the aseptic processing. 

What does optimization mean in an analytical chemical laboratory The analyst can optimize responses such as the result of analysis of a standard against its certified value, precision, detection limit, throughput of the analysis, consumption of reagents, time spent by personnel, and overall cost. The factors that influence these potential responses are not always easy to define, and all these factors might not be amenable to the statistical methods described here. However, for precision, the sensitivity of the calibration relation, for example (slope of the calibration curve), would be an obvious candidate, as would the number of replicate measurements needed to achieve a target confidence interval. More examples of factors that have been optimized are given later in this chapter. 

The environment of an aseptic filling operation must be monitored and controlled. Environmental control begins with valid cleaning and sanitization procedures, then proceeds with adequacy of certified HEPA filtration and clean room procedures by personnel within the clean room, and is verified by environmental monitoring techniques. Such techniques include nonviable particulate...
