Premises control

Except in exceptional cases of in-process control, control premises must be separated from the production and packaging areas. It is desirable to provide separate laboratories for specific types of activities. 

To be able to study iodide transport across gastric mucosa with better-controlled premises we developed an Ussing-chamber in vitro model (Figure 22.4) (Josefsson et al, 2006). In this model we demonstrated considerable iodide transport from the serosal to the mucosal side, which was linear over time, while transport from the mucosal to the serosal side was negligible (Figure 22.5). The iodide... 

Requirements for transportation packaging and transporter training vary based on the degree of the hazard and the travel route and distance. Sandia s ES H Manual provides a detailed description of these requirements for the members of the SNL workforce. When on non-Sandia controlled premises, the requirements and practices of the host facility apply. 

This chapter is about managers in construction organizations, setting out ciear responsibiiities and iines of communications for everyone in the enterprise. The chapter also covers the legal responsibilities that exist between duty holders under the CDM Regulations between people who control premises and those who use them between contractors and those who hire them and the duties of suppliers, manufacturers and designers of articles and substances for use at work. 

Hair products are normally cosmetics and are thus subject to aU. laws and regulations that control the labeling and claims of aU. cosmetic products. There are, however, several significant variations to this premise, ie, hair colorants, professional use only products, and products that make dmg claims. 

To make regulatory control effective, the regulatory agency must have the right to enter premises for inspection and testing, to require the owner to monitor and report noncompUance, and, where necessary, to do the testing. 

Laboratories wishing to claim GLP compliance are nonually registered with Competent Authorities who issue statements of compliance following successful periodic inspections of the premises to monitor compliance with the relevant legislation. In the UK compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice Regulations 1999 is audited by the Medicines Control Agency.

Provides for the control of fire safety m all designated occupied premises, by ensuring that adequate general fire precautions are taken and appropriate means of escape and related precautions are present. Specifies the requirements for a fire certificate for various premises. 

Sets out ancillary controls related to air pollution control including regulation of smoke, grit, dust and fume emissions from non-prescnbed mdustnal processes provision of a lower level of control over some smaller combustion plants not covered by IPC or LAAPC prohibition of the emission of dark smoke from any chimney or industrial premises. 

It is typical for industrial premises to have, in one space, zones with different target levels. The target levels may be determined for the whole area or locally. Often only a part of the space requires controlling of the indoor environment parameters. In addition to the main controlled zone, there may be one or more local controlled zones with target levels different from those in the main controlled zone. 

Quality control is also the term used as the name of a department. In most cases Quality Control Departments perform inspection and test activities and the name derives from the authority that such departments have been given. They sort good products from bad products and authorize the release of the good products. It is also common to find that Quality Control Departments perform supplier control activities, which are called Supplier Quality Assurance or Vendor Control. In this respect they are authorized to release products from suppliers into the organization either from the supplier s premises or on receipt in the organization. 

It is important that you inform the subcontractor through the contract of how the product or service will be accepted. Will it be as a result of receipt inspection at the specified destination or as a result of acceptance tests witnessed on site by your authorized representative These details need to be specified at the tendering stage so that the subcontractor can make provision in the quotation to support any of your activities on site. If you have invoked ISO 9001 in the subcontract, you are protected by clause 4.6.4.2. If you have not, you need to specify a similar provision in your subcontract, otherwise you may lose the right to reject the product later. There is no requirement for you to document your proposal to verify product at the subcontractor s premises but such a plan would indeed be a useful section in any quality plan that you produced. (See also Control of subcontractors in this chapter.)... 

The standard requires that in determining the amount and nature of receiving inspection, consideration should be given to the control exercised at the subcontractor s premises and recorded evidence of conformance provided. The supplementary requirements require the supplier to use one or more of four prescribed methods unless waived bp the customer. 

The subcontractor records that are delivered to you should form part of your records. However, the controls you can exercise over your subcontractor s quality records are somewhat limited. You have a right to the records you have paid for but no more unless you invoke the requirements of this clause of the standard in your subcontract. Your rights will probably only extend to your subcontractor s records being made available for your inspection on their premises therefore you will not be able to take away copies. It is also likely that any subcontractor records you do receive are copies and not originals. Before placing the contract you will need to assess what records you will require to be delivered and what records the contractor should produce and retain. 

According to the incident report, there was no clear division of responsibilities between the Gas Board and the contractor who was carrying out the repairs. Where, as in this case, a special risk is likely to arise due to the nature of the work performed (and the owner of the premises has special knowledge of it), the owner must retain sufficient control of the operation to ensure that contractors e.mployees are properly protected against the risk [4],... 

This technique sets out to collect data about near-incidents or critical events that have been experienced by the operating team but that are unlikely to be documented. The basic premise of the technique is that events that could have led to serious consequences would tend to be remembered by the workers. Through individual or group interviews, significant events are recalled which are then analyzed in order to generate useful information about the difficulties involved in the performance of a task, the adequacy of the operating procedures, any problems with the equipment or control panel design and so on. The technique can be used in three areas ... 

Perimeter fencing may enhance the security of any premises. Not only does the fence present an obstacle for intruders to overcome but also it establishes the principle of defensible space and constitutes a psychological barrier to access. A perimeter fence, when supplemented by gates, traffic barriers and gatehouses (manned by security personnel or some other system of access control), allows the site operator to have control and supervision over all vehicles and pedestrians entering and leaving the site. 

Except for some defined types of accommodation, the use of fuel or electricity to heat premises above a temperature of 19°C is prohibited by the Fuel and Electricity (Heating) (Control) Order 1980. The current Order is an amendment to an earlier Regulation, which limited the temperature to a maximum of 20°C, and although 19°C is generally taken to refer to air temperature the Order does not specify this. The minimum temperature was laid down in the Factories Act 1961 and should be reached one hour after the commencement of occupation. 

This Act has been much amended and now forms a relevant statutory provision for the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974. Originally it provided for the registration and control of certain classes of chemical works. The Act has now been amended and the classes of premises, the scheduled works , are now included in the Health and Safety (Emission into Atmosphere) Regulations 1983 (amended 1989). There are 62 main categories of works, and in some cases only certain processes within a category are covered ... 

Railway engines are dealt with in the same way as premises for the purposes of Section 1 of this Act (which controls dark smoke) except that the owner of the engine is to be held responsible. Other Sections of the Act do not apply. 

Section 1 of the Act prohibits dark smoke from trade premises (the 1956 Act only controlled smoke from chimneys). Bonfires are thus now included. Section 2 controls the rate of grit and dust emission from furnaces and the Minister may make Regulations. These are known as the Clean Air (Emission of Grit and Dust from Furnaces) Regulations 1971 and the Clean Air (Emission of Grit and Dust from Furnaces) (Scotland) Regulations 1971. 

Section 5 of this Act places a duty on persons having control of premises to take the best practicable means to prevent the emission into the atmosphere of noxious or offensive substances. This Section is used by HMIP in the enforcement of best practical means for the scheduled processes.

The SPC system starts with the premise that the specifications for a product can be defined in terms of the product s (customer s) requirements, or that a product is or has been produced that will satisfy those needs. Generally a computer communicates with a series of process sensors and/or controllers that operate in individual data loops. 

The premise that nucleation was always the rate controlling factor in kinetic theories was first disputed by Sadler in 1983 [44]. The disagreement arises from a comparison of the morphologies which would be obtained using the free energies from the Lauritzen-Hoffman theory with those observed experimentally. The...
