The audit includes a review of the process safety information, inspection of the physical facilities, and interviews with all levels of plant personnel. Using the procedures and checklist, the team systematically analyzes compliance with the PSM Rule and any other relevant corporate policies. The training program is reviewed for adequacy of content, frequency and effectiveness of training. Interviews determine employee knowledge and awareness ofthe safety procedures, duties, rules, and emergency response assignments. The team identifies deficiencies in the application of safety and health policies, procedures, and work authorization practices to determine live actions. 

Operating Basis As the SIS engineering design nears completion, the resources and skills of plant operations should be considered. At some point, the SIS is turned over to operations and maintenance personnel, who must be trained on the new SIS and on their responsibilities. Consequently, thought should be given to the content and depth of the information that must be communicated to various personnel. This is especially important as the responsibility for the SIS transitions from the project team to operations and maintenance control. 

Strength Habitability surveys conducted at CP (command post) upon arrival of Haz-Mat team. EPA conducted surveys at CP upon their arrival. SRS (Savannah River Site) and Richmond County Haz-Mat resources arrived on scene within a timely manner and were designated by FDIC (Fire Department Incident Commander) to be responsible for Haz-Mat operations. Haz-Mat personnel assisted in CP location determination. EPA utilized Coast Guard Gulf Coast Strike Team to provide monitoring and on scene response. By comparing consist (a list of all the cars in the train which describes their position in the train, type, contents, destination, etc.) to entry team visual inspection, chemicals involved were accurately identified. Written response plan and safety procedures implemented for Haz-Mat operations. Briefings provided to Haz-Mat responders by Safety Officer on entry considerations maps were covered for responders unfamiliar with the area. 

Personnel responsible for site characterization can become familiar with the content of the kits and trained in the use of any specialized equipment. 

The policies and procedures document should be kept at the pharmacy, used as a training tool for pharmacists and other personnel, and referred to as needed during the patient care process. It should be easy to access information in the manual. A table of contents should be included, sections tabbed, and an appendix created containing the forms that will be part of the... 

One of the various templates that will have to be created in the course of the implementation of GLP in a test facility are the templates for the personnel. While curricula vitae may differ in format (and anyway in content), the job descriptions should obtain a common format. Furthermore, training record forms have to be created, which will provide evidence for the fact that training of the individual has been up-to-date, not only in respect of his or her technical abilities, but also with regard to the training in, and understanding of, GLP matters in general and especially those relevant to the actual work to be performed. 

In addition to training persotmel on procedme content, it is important to train personnel on the procedure format. The procedure format is very similar to a roadmap. Before you can use a roadmap efrectrvely and correctly, you must understand how to use the roadmap, what information it contains and where that information is located on the map. 

In summary, it is not fiJse to say that industry did not make very large demands for science graduates. Despite some notable exceptions—and E. K. Muspratt has been quoted earlier in this context—industries seem to have remained content with low technical input from trained personnel. Conversely, it is not false either to put the blame on British education or the lack of it. However, when science graduates finally appeared in large numbers, it was in response not to industry s demands, but rather to the needs of a quickly expanding educational system. Consequently, both accusations constitute half-truths at best. Each, by itself, does not resolve the problem at hand. 

Work methods and procedures, personnel selection standards, training content, work scheduling, management of change procedures, maintenance requirements, and personal protective equipment needs...
