Criteria and Guidelines

The Project Manager does not operate in a vacuum the Project Manager is constantly  

These skills will invariably enhance the Project Manager s performance. 

Proper and timely documentation is a necessary complement to communications and goes hand in hand with good project management and control. 

On the other hand, over-documentation is cumbersome, will dilute the efforts of the project team, and slow down the project. 

Discretion must be exercised to avoid unnecessary paperwork and ensure that the extent and detail of the documentation are commensurate with the size and importance of the project.

Equipment Selection Criteria and Guidelines A number of factors should be considered in order to determine when to select a blowdown drum, cyclone separator, or quench tank to handle a multiphase stream from a relief device. Among these are the plot plan space available, the operating limitations of each type, and the physicochemical properties of the stream.

The hazardous waste identification regulations that define the characteristics of toxicity, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and the tests for these characteristics, differ from state to state. In addition, concentration limits may be set out by a state for selected persistent and bioaccumulative toxic substances that commonly occur in hazardous substances. For example, the California Hazardous Waste Control Act requires the California State Department of Health Services (CDHS) to develop and adopt by regulation criteria and guidelines for the identification of hazardous wastes and extremely hazardous wastes. 

In order to identify synthesized astatocompounds it has been necessary to adopt criteria and guidelines for both synthesis and identification. 

As part of this field study, relevant quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) criteria and guidelines (SETAC, 1993 JAMP, 1998a,b) have to be set to insure the quality of data generated during the assessments. The development of QA/QC criteria for this study involved conducting a series of replicate bioassays with each of the methods. Samples tested included a control sediment, contaminated sediments and reference toxicants. Based on the results of the bioassay replicates, the variability associated with the tests was quantified and we were able to determine what we considered acceptable QA/QC criteria for these methods. 

Each Dow location is required to establish a loss prevention program base on hazard evaluation and designed to reduce the probability and magnitude of incidents. Programs must include the following elements, based on criteria and guidelines contained in Dow s Loss Prevention Principles. ... 

Quality assurance must also have a formal system in place to thoroughly investigate product complaints that are referred to quality operations for an assessment. Criteria and guidelines should be developed that provide a standardized framework for comprehensive complaint investigations. Additionally, periodic trending of all quality investigations should be... 

In this context, the following criteria and guidelines must be considered ... 

Advisory Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances (referred to as the SOP manual), which documents the procedures, methods, criteria, and other guidelines used by NAC in the development of the AEGL values. The information contained in the SOP document is based on the guidance provided by the NRC in its guidelines report (NRC 1993). The SOP document contains further details and clarification of specific procedures, methods, criteria, and guidelines interpreted from the NRC report. 

Finally, the current available elaborated knowledge and the proposed test methodologies are suitable to serve for national or federal authorities and industry as a basis for safety evaluation, establishing criteria and guidelines for the appropriate functional barrier protection design of recycled plastics for food packaging. 

In addition to the simplification of mathematics and the criteria and guidelines described so far, many other techniques can be brought to bear in network elucidation. Excellent literature on these is available, and only a brief overview will be given here. For quick orientation the reader is referred to a comprehensive review with copious references [38],... 

Criteria and guidelines useful in network elucidation and supplementing the rules derived in this chapter include considerations of steric effects, molecularities of postulated reaction steps, and thermodynamic constraints as well as Tolman s 16- or 18-electron rule for reactions involving transition-metal complexes and the Woodward-Hoffmann exclusion rules based on the principle of conservation of molecular orbital symmetry. Auxiliary techniques that can be brought to bear include, among others, determinations of isomer distribution, isotope techniques, and spectrophotometry. 

Since the process design hours determine the cost and duration of the initial project activities, it is very important that the initial plan of action be based on realistic estimates. Unfortunately, as mentioned before, the level of information required to prepare accurate estimates is rarely available at this stage of the project. Nevertheless, this section tries to provide some criteria and guidelines to allow project managers to make the best out of the scant information available.

The evaluation criteria and guidelines presented in Tables F.l and F.2 were prepared by the Project Manager with input from process and cost engineering. 

The reverse would be that insurance and other financial institutions would require demonstration of higher safety performance as a prerequisite for financing or underwriting risks. For example, in order to operate, nuclear power plants in the United States must demonstrate sufficient financial assurance to satisfy liability claims of members of the public for personal injury and property damage in the event of a catastrophic nuclear accident. Such insurance is available through the American Nuclear Insurers, which evaluates plant performance against objectives, criteria, and guidelines developed in conjunction with the U.S. NRC and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. A plant must receive a favorable report from this review before it can be insured. 

Criteria are usually developed for particular populations and are generally based on prevention of an effect that occurs at lower doses ( critical effect ), which, if the levels do not exceed criteria, is expected to prevent the occurrence of more serious effects known to occur at higher doses. Criteria are available that are protective of acute, short-term, and chronic exposure for workers and the general public for hydrogen sulfide. Different agencies have developed exposure criteria and standards for hydrogen sulfide. Selected criteria and guidelines are provided below.
