Corrective measures implementation

Corrective Measures Implementation (CMI) -those activities associated with the design and construction of the technology options selected and with performance monitoring. 

For the environmental consultant, an extensive overview of corrective action technologies is provided. Topics covered are the general concepts of corrective action programs, facility investigation principles, treatment technologies for wastes and waste streams, post treatment technologies and engineering considerations for corrective measures implementation. 

Records of the results of the self-inspection programme, evaluation and conclusions and corrective measures implemented. 

If exposure has occurred, the source must be determined and corrective measures implemented. 

What Inspect employees hands, face, and forearms potentially exposed to methylenedianiline. If exposure has occurred, the source must be determined and corrective measures implemented. 

Actions at a RCRA facility may culminate in its return to normal operating status while at most Superfund sites (and at some RCRA facilities undergoing Corrective Action), these activities typically culminate in final cleanup or closure of the site. These and other factors might lead to selection and implementation of different corrective measures at otherwise similar RCRA and Superfund sites. 

Interim measures may be separate from the comprehensive Corrective Action plan but should be consistent with, and integrated with, any longer-term Corrective Action (e.g., corrective measure through an order, an op erating permit, a post-closure permit or interim status closure requirements). To the extent possible, interim measures should not seriously complicate the ultimate physical management of hazardous wastes or constituents, nor should they present or exacerbate a health or environmental threat. Interim measures may add additional costs or work to the comprehensive Corrective Action. Such added costs or work do not preclude implementation of an interim measure. 

Implementability of the corrective measure is concerned with the constructability of the facilities (i.e., site constraints, permitability, equipment availability, and the time it takes to implement and to operate and maintain the facility.)... 

Safety issues include threats to the safety of workers or nearby communities during the implementation or operation of the corrective measures (i.e., fire, explosion and exposure to hazardous substances). 

Each alternative should be assessed in terms of the extent to which it mitigates short- and long-term potential exposure to any residual contamination and protects human health, both during and after implementation of the corrective measure. 

It has to be stressed that, as IMEP coordinator, the IRMM does not evaluate the participants measurement performance in view of the implementation of corrective actions. It is up to the accreditation or authorization body that nominated the laboratories for participation in IMEP ILCs to assess the laboratories and request corrective measures in order to improve their measurement capabilities. 

An engineering evaluation should then be made of the worst case consequences with the goal that the plant will be safe even if the worst case occurs. When the process designers know what the worst case conditions are, they should try to avoid worst case conditions, be sure adequate redundancy of safety systems exists, and identify and implement lines of defense. These lines of defense could be preventive measures, corrective measures or sometimes as a last resort, containment or possibly abandonment of the process if the hazard is unacceptable. It is important to note that the worst case should be something that is realistic, not something that is conceivable but extremely unlikely. 

No investigation was conducted to determine the cause of missing data and no corrective measures were implemented to prevent the reoccurrence of this event. [FDA Warning Letter, 1999]... 

Failure to maintain laboratory records to include complete data derived from all tests necessary to assure compliance with established specifications and standards [21 CFR 211.194]. Specifically, your firm failed to properly maintain electronic files containing data secured in the course of tests from 20 HPLCs and 3 GCs. Additionally, no investigation was conducted by your company to determine the cause of missing data and no corrective measures were implemented to prevent the reoccurrence of this event. 

Market failure The failure of the market to include in the price of a good the costs or benefits of an externality (a harmful or beneficial side-effect that occurs in the production, consumption or distribution of a particular good). Often, government policies in the form of regulations (such as standards, bans and restrictions on input use) and incentive-based mechanisms (such as taxes, subsidies and marketable permits) are implemented as corrective measures (Henrichsmeyer and Witzke 58). 

One of the prominent advantages of SPC is its speed. As this method does not rely on culturing the microorganisms, quantitative results can be obtained within a few hours. Additionally, the membrane filter is scanned by the laser in only 3 min. Therefore, SPC can be used for real-time monitoring to provide an early warning and a rapid implementation of corrective measures. 

It is more difficult to understand and remedy problems that occur, often without premonition, after the long and successful operation of a system or plant. In such cases it is necessary to go back to the fundamentals, try to envision what happens mechanically, physically, and sometimes even chemically during agglomeration, understand for the specific case the mechanisms of particle interaction, determine what, how, and why something has changed, develop corrective measures, and implement suitable modifications.
