Safety audit as a special supervision and evaluation of the enterprise safety in production of the independent auditing activities, actively and effectively carry out mine safety audit work, to play the role of audit supervision and inspection, contribute to the promotion of mines to implement the main responsibility for production safety, serious implementation of the laws and regulations of production safety, ensure the safety of the necessary inputs production, the implementation of various safety measures, improve the conditions for safety production. 

Many of the previous models have investigated the trend of accidents or fatalities based on the input factors and some on the causes to the accidents. (Elvik Vaa, 2004) has developed techniques for evaluating the effectiveness of various road safety measures (output) in different countries by using what is called the before and after study evaluation technique. Similar techniques might be used to show the effectiveness of road safety measures that countries have taken. 

Common sense and the OSHA Chemical Process Safety Management Law requires an audit of compliance to the Management of Change. Periodic review and documentation of a sites activities in managing aspects of personnel and process safety is often a part of an organization s culture. A good audit can measure the actual versus intended effectiveness of various programs. 

The effectiveness of various passive non-chemical methods as well dechlorination chemicals for disposal of chlorinated water is discussed in this section. Furthermore, water quality impacts, health and safety concerns, and dose calculations for dechlorination of both free and combined chlorine using these techniques are discussed. Utilities must verify the chlorine levels (measured as total chlorine) of discharged water prior to release to receiving streams regardless of the method chosen for dechlorination.

In contrast to that of solvents, the effect of the electrolyte solute, LiPFe, on the thermal decomposition of the cathode, LiCo02, was found to be suppression instead of catalyzation. The SHR of a partially delithiated cathode was measured in a series of electrolytes with various salt concentrations, and a strong suppression of the self-heating behavior was found as the concentration of LiPEe increased above 0.50 M. The mechanistic rationale behind this salt effect is still not well understood, but the authors speculated that the salt decomposition coated the cathode with a protective layer that acted as a combustion retardant. On the basis of these results, the authors recommended a higher salt concentration (>1.50 M) for LiCo02-based lithium ion cells is preferred in terms of thermal safety. 

A population PK evaluation of patients from the safety and efficacy trials can be used to assess the impact of renal function on the disposition of a drug. Special care must be taken that patients with severe renal impairment are adequately represented in the population. The population PK approach assess the impact of various covariates on the disposition of a drug. Non linear mixed effects modeling may be used to model the relationship between various covariates and pharmacokinetic parameters. CLcr as a measure of renal function may be one of the covariates. This type of approach has it advantageous as it involves assessment of the effect of renal impairment on the PK in the target population. 

In order to find a compound with the desired characteristics, medicinal chemists will synthesize as many analogs of the lead compound as they can in order to determine the effect of its molecular structure on its activity, potency, and therapeutic index. The therapeutic index is a measure of the safety of a drug versus its effectiveness in treating a particular disease or condition. A compound with a low therapeutic index might be acceptable for a lethal disease where no cure exists, but it is unacceptable for milder conditions, where other therapies already exist. Various methodologies may be applied to modify the molecular structures of these compounds in order to improve upon their therapeutic effects. Combinatorial...
