Communications and Responsibility

The organizational meeting had several positive outcomes, which could have been reached in other ways only with difficulty. First, everyone involved realized that once the data collection and reporting process had been agreed, each laboratory would be expected to follow it, without modification. This realization was possible because the procedures to be used after the completion of the analyses were clearly explained, and the need for consistency in reporting was abundantly clear. Second, it was possible to reinforce the lines of communication and responsibility that everyone involved in the study was expected to observe. Third, the necessity for rapid communication of problems between study management and field and laboratory personnel was underscored.

The cytoplasmic membrane not only has the function of isolating the interior of the cell from its surroundings, but it is also the organ of cell to cell communication and responsible for collecting the nutrients for the cell. These membrane functions can easily be affeded by polymers. 

CERCLA was amended in 1986 by the Superfund Amendments and Re-authorlzatlon Act (SARA). This changed the cleanup approach, increased the Involvement of the public in cleanup, and established a cleanup fund for superfund sites. The enactment of CERCLA/SARA has spawned a number of related acts that address the notification of the affected community and response plans. The most important of these arc the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) enacted in 1986 and 1990, respectively.

On the other hand, the results demonstrate the importance of the attitudes of the service providers. Computer specialists who are clearly user oriented, that is, who are communicative and responsive to user needs and are committed to improving existing applications and proposing appropriate new ones, seem best able to satisfy end users criteria for higher quality computing services. Researchers emphasize the importance of a positive sociotechnical interface between end users and computing specialists, in addition to good operational performance (e.g., low incidence of technical problems).

Have properly planned emergency response procedures, communications and responsibilities for personnel and ensure that these have been documented and tried in drills. 

In the development of new products, optimization of the fermentation medium for titer only often ignores the consequences of the medium properties on subsequent downstream processing steps such as filtration and chromatography. It is imperative, therefore, that there be effective communication and understanding between workers on the upstream and downstream phases of the produc t development if rational trade-offs are to be made to ensure overall optimahty of the process. One example is to make the conscious decision, in collaboration with those responsible for the downstream operations, whether to produce a protein in an unfolded form or in its native folded form the purification of the aggregated unfolded proteins is simpler than that of the native protein, but the refolding process itself to obtain the product in its final form may lack scalabihty. 

This guideline describes methods to help the chemical processing industry apply the CCPS chemical process safety concepts to outsourced manufacturing operations, specifically the tolling vendor-client relationship. In addition to the focus on process safety, information and examples provided in this text foster good practices relative to community and worker health, and environmental responsibility. 

While these responsibilities seem straightforward, there are numerous responsibilities that are intertwined and discrete. Both parties need to understand their individual responsibilities especially regarding process hazards, environmental concerns, communication, and technology/knowledge transfer.

This applies particularly to the need for coordination by DOE sites with off-site response personnel and agencies (e.g., mutual aid agreements and public alert mechanisms). EPA has provided guidance to communities and fire departments for identifying, acquiring, and maintaining HAZMAT response equipment and trained personnel appropriate for their locale.
