Communications audits

Chlorine Institute. Members of the Chlorine Institute are required to reaffirm their commitment to the Institute s safety pledge, including prevention of chlorine releases. The safety pledge also includes aimual safety audits, aimual emission and ha2ard evaluations of chlorine operations, periodic emergency-response test drills, and coordination with local officials for protection of the community (32) (see Alkali AND CHLORINE PRODUCTS). 

It is essential to develop contacts within both companies to create an atmosphere of two-way communication. The toller should feel comfortable in asking for advice or assistance and this is best achieved by building rapport with their primary contacts from their client company. After an audit, the points of contact can be assigned responsibility for ensuring completion of individual action items. 

Site H was the only site at which the contractor had implemented comprehensive and effective site control elements. The Site H contractor had established site work zones, a buddy system, and site communication procedures consistent with 1910.120(d). This contractor had also established exclusion zones and contamination reduction zones to control migration of site contaminants to clean areas of the site when work within these areas introduced the potential for exposure to hazardous contaminants. The audit team supported this contractor s use of flexible and temporary work zone boundaries based on monitoring results and hazard determinations. 

The SAC list provides a handy shorthand for communicating which devices are required and the reasons why some may not be used. For example, for any pressure vessel there is either a PSH required, or a rationale numbered, A,4.a.2, A.4.a.3, A.4.a.4, A.4.a.5 or A.4.a.6 must be listed. It becomes a simple matter to audit the design by checking that each device is either present or an appropriate rationale listed. 

The human factors audit was part of a hazard analysis which was used to recommend the degree of automation required in blowdown situations. The results of the human factors audit were mainly in terms of major errors which could affect blowdown success likelihood, and causal factors such as procedures, training, control room design, team communications, and aspects of hardware equipment. The major emphasis of the study was on improving the human interaction with the blowdown system, whether manual or automatic. Two specific platform scenarios were investigated. One was a significant gas release in the molecular sieve module (MSM) on a relatively new platform, and the other a release in the separator module (SM) on an older generation platform. 

These checklists may be used to indicate compliance with standard procedures. As indicated above, a checklist is easy to use and can be applied to each stage of a project of plant development. A checklist is a convenient means of communicating die minimal acceptable level of liazard evaluadon diat is required for any Job, regardless of scope. As such, it is particularly useful for an inexperienced engineer to work tlirougli die various requirements in the checklist to reach a satisfactory conclusion. However, a system checklist should be audited and updated regularly. 

In accordance to GCP, the sponsor should appoint clinical trial monitors. These act as the main communication interface between the sponsor and the trial site, and should regularly visit the site to oversee that the trials are being conducted and correctly documented in accordance with the protocol and GCP. Reports should be supplied to the sponsor after each visit. It is also good practice for the sponsor to establish an auditing system for independently verifying that the activities in relation to the collection and processing of data at the trial site, and at related laboratories or sponsor s facilities, are conducted in accordance with applicable protocols, procedures, regulations, GCP and GLP. 

Management must institute procedures to assess levels of compliance with agreed standards for safety. Techniques include environmental and/or biological monitoring, health surveillance, safety audits, safety inspections, and procedures for accident reporting, investigation and analysis. Communication is essential, e.g. by provision of information (on specific chemicals, processes, etc.), safety meetings, notices, safety bulletins etc. 

Humans should use computers to do functional work for them in the most efficient manner possible. However, we must not delude ourselves into thinking that the mere use of a computer to analyze adverse events will magically analyze these events in a systematic, efficient way. Computers do not automatically produce coherent, auditable results that can be subsequently reproduced with ease. Computers must be actively programmed through an iterative process involving tight communication between analysts and software developers until these processes are totally functional. 

Audits may differ. Some concentrate on particular facets, e.g. waste minimization, energy conservation. A management audit will probably cover organizational structures and relationships, communications, procedures acceptance and implementation, training and quality assurance. A technical audit will consider the performance of plant and equipment, monitoring and inspection programmes. Items for inclusion in auditing are listed in Table 17.12. 

Thereafter, the primary functions of the study QA specialist fell into two main headings. First, GLP compliance during the collection and documentation of commodity samples had to be assured. This was done via observation of several collections for different shops (collection incidents) at various geographic locations. In these audits, the study QA specialist examined specific items, such as (1) did the shopper follow the written instructions, (2) were the correct types and numbers of samples collected, (3) was the documentation maintained as required, (4) were the samples labeled and packaged correctly, and (5) were the samples delivered to the shipper as required Findings were communicated to study management and used as appropriate in subsequent shops. 

An environmental audit is a systematic examination of how a business operation affects the environment. It will include all emissions to air, land, and water and cover the legal constraints, the effect on community, the landscape, and the ecology. Products will be considered, as well as processes.

Multiple facilities in an organization may have similar chemical reactivity hazards similar storage, handling or processing operations or use similar technologies to control the associated hazards. If so, it may be more efficient for a corporate office or personnel to assume responsibility for some improvement activities such as auditing and research. This can also facilitate communication of incidents and best practices between facilities.

CRAs achieve these tasks through frequent visits to the clinical trial site. During these visits, the monitor will verify source data, audit regulatory documents for accuracy and completion, perform drug accountability assessments, and communicate any concerns, problems, or new information with the study staff.

Listed equipment is typically defined as materials that have been tested to a standard by an organization that is acceptable to the AHJ. The listing organization, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM), maintains a periodic audit of listed equipment or materials to ensure that the equipment or material meets appropriate designated standards or has been tested and found suitable for a specified purpose. The testing organization then publishes a list of equipment that has passed the evaluation process. Hence, the fire protection community uses the term "listed" to define equipment that has been specifically evaluated for use in fire protection applications.
