Commercial chemical products In general, procedures that recycle any unused chemical products should be implemented. Whenever a vendor is contracted to supply chemicals, the vendor should be required to take contractual responsibility for unused chemical products and the containers in which they were delivered. As discussed under the source reduction opportunity, commercial chemical products that are returned for reclamation or recycling are not solid wastes. Therefore, managing chemical products properly can avoid the unnecessary generation of unused chemicals that must be disposed of. In many instances, those chemical wastes would be hazardous and subject to stringent regulation. 

Tighten the screws," but be careful not to relieve the contractor of its contractual responsibilities.

Intermodal equipment provider (lEP) Any person that interchanges intermodal equipment with a motor carrier according to a written agreement or has contractual responsibility for the maintenance of the intermodal equipment. 

Q. 2. Under 1904.31, while the standard clearly indicates the 300 Logs must be maintained for supervised temporary or leased employees, it does not indicate who maintains the 301 documents or the first report of iiquries, as well as the medical records on those employees. Also, if a temporary or leased employee has days away from work, it is normally the temporary or leased employee provider s contractual responsibility to handle the medical treatment of the employee. The temporary or leased employee provider is the only person/entity to have the information on days away from work. Who is responsible for maintaining the 301 logs or the first report of injury forms as well as the medical records for these employees, assuming that the employee provider can produce the required documents to the employer for production in the time periods set forth in the standard ... 

EPA received three comments on this aspect of the 2007 Supplemental Proposal. One commenter expressed support for this proposed requirement. The other two provided a number of reasons why the final rule should not include such a requirement. These commenters noted that renovation firms have no contractual connection with or contractual responsibility to the parents or guardians of children using a COE. They believe that the child-occupied facility owner bears primary responsibility for maintaining a safe environment for children. 

The formality and structure of a nonconformity management system enable a mass of detail to be marshalled to form a coherent record, which apart from its technical merit, can if required provide valuable evidence for resolving the question of contractual responsibility and damages. 

When a construction contractor considers that the works for which he or she is contractually responsible and the associated documentation are complete, the construction contractor shall invite the EPCM contractor to carry out an inspection using the model form presented in Figure 11.1. 

The BR Infrastructure Services division was established on 1st April 1994 to provide a group of Infrastructure Services Units that had contractual responsibility for the maintenance, renewals and works activities on the railway infrastructure. 

When assessing potential tollers for a project where an international presence is prescribed or simply expanding your selection of available tollers, the same basic approach presented here can be used. However, some elements may need to be implemented differently, expanded, or combined to accurately depict a toller s capabilities when crossing national and cultural boundaries. A client should still seek the same ethics regarding safety, environmental responsibility, quality and contractual obligations as described previously. 

Both parties need to identify responsibilities for choosing the right equipment for the process, preparing equipment for the process, and decontaminating equipment. Consider whether chemical and process hazards have been addressed in the selection, preparation, and decontamination of equipment. Examine the need to contractually address containment and disposal of residual process fluids and decontamination materials. If food products or pharmaceuticals are involved, cleaning methods may also be an issue to address in the contract. 

A further substantial improvement in control response was achieved by including the expander inlet pressure into the control algorithm. With this change, the regenerator pressure falls by only 5 mbar, thereafter rising by 9 mbar, representing a fluctuation that is substantially below the contractual agreement. 

Vendor s Responsibility - Defines the terms of contractual commitments on the part of the vendor. 

Defining responsibilities and levels of authorities should be specified in the contractual agreement. This fundamental strategy is essential for success. The more complicated the task, the more in depth the contractual agreements and site-specific plans will need to be. 

One way to minimize these types of difficulties would be to discuss and document responsibilities before awarding a contract. Also, have a knowledgeable person or expert write the contracts. It is prudent to state relationships in contractual agreements and communicate them to all affected parties. 

Delivery decisions are more than decisions about conformance to specification. They are about conformance to contract and those responsible for the production processes may not be able to determine whether contractual conditions have been met. Much more may hang on the resolution of a problem than mere conformance to specification. The decision in some circumstances may be taken by the CEO. There may have been a safety problem or a product liability problem so your system needs to recognize these fine distinctions. Those making the delivery decisions need possession of all the information required to protect the company as well as meet customer needs. 

We are not concerned here with contractual issues, or with questions of responsibility. What follows is a set of practical guidelines that seek to address the main areas where problems can arise. 

The validation is therefore not complete until there is a detailed description of the method and records of the validation study. A responsible person needs to sign that the method meets the requirements, i.e. it is fit for purpose . The documentation facilitates the consistent application of the method, within its scope and defined performance parameters. This, in turn, helps ensure that when the method is applied in different laboratories or at different times, the measurand is the same and that the measurement results are comparable. Documentation is also required for quality assurance, regulatory and contractual purposes. 

Responsibility for mine water quality and quantity From time to time, the quality and flow rate of the mine water fluctuate significantly, and this may cause overloading of the entire system and subsequent non-compliance with permitted discharge concentrations, which can be only be buffered by the reactive filter materials. In this respect, contractual questions must be resolved between the operator of the wetland (WISUTEC) and the owner of the mine water (WISMUT) as to who is responsible for treatment and discharge. 

The pharmaceutical physician should be involved in the selection of CROs and SMOs. He or she is often best qualified to judge the professional competency of the physicians involved in any contractual work. There needs to be a clear imderstanding as to who will provide medical advice to the investigator and to the nonphysicians in the clinical trial teams, who will be responsible for the assessment of the medical... 

Most UK ethics committees will look for confirmation of the intention to apply the ABPl guidelines in the case of company-sponsored studies, even from non-member companies. Where the research is non-therapeutic, ABPl guidance provides for a contractual promise to be made to the volunteer to pay for injury sustained by reason of participation in the study (whether due to the experimental drugs used or to procedures required by the study protocol), irrespective of whether anyone conducting or responsible for the project was at fault. In therapeutic research, no such contractual relationship or obligation is required, and there are some limitations to the circumstances in which voluntary payment will be made. 

Under the contractual arrangements for the ACG and Shah Deniz field developments, SOCAR has assumed the major responsibility for managing the volumes of natural gas delivered to the Azerbaijan market, including the potential for significant, short notice variations in the volume. In effect, this responsibility extends to include the ability of Azerigaz transmission system... 

Project and quality planning by each company is important for multigroup projects, as it enables all those involved in the project—pharmaceutical manufacturer, vendor, or third party—to access a formal definition of project standards, schedule, organization, and contracted responsibilities and monitor interaction at all levels. If elements of the contracted work and supply are to be subcontracted the plan must detail how this work is to be controlled and reported. The supplier project and quality plan must be a contractual document agreed upon by the purchaser and supplier and needs to ensure that ... 

Depending on the contractual approach, the responsibility for the provision, design, and testing of the computer system may be separate from that for the application engineering, provision, design, and testing of measurement and control instrumentation (and associated field equipment e.g., cabinets and cabling). 

A formal agreement that references all relevant tender documents and clearly identifies responsibilities and document deliverables should be prepared by the pharmaceutical manufacturer. The purchase order should include the final agreement and identify any associated contractual documentation. A copy of the signed final agreement and purchase order should be retained in the pharmaceutical manufacturer s validation file, together with evaluation records applicable...
