Personal effectiveness

When working with chemicals that have target organ effects it is critical to prevent exposure. This is especially true if you have a pre-existing condition, disease, or injury to that particular organ. Read the MSDS to fmd out the most effective personal protection equipment (PPE) for dealing with the chemical and be certain to minimize release of the chemical in the first place.

Effective personal communication is required between owner and contractor organizations and their project team representatives, ensuring extensive site and manufacturing input. 

The uterus is removed, noting which is the left side, and weighed. Uteri that do not appear pregnant should be checked for implantation sites these are usually visible when viewed from the serous (outer) surface over a light source. Where no sites are observed, uteri of rodents should be stained by placing in ammonium sulfide solution, which stains the implantation sites although this technique is also suggested for rabbits, it is of questionable effectiveness (personal communication).

Few of the drug-state phenomena have greater therapeutic potential than the Symbolic-level participation by the patient in mythic and ritualistic dramas that represent to him in terms both universal and particular the essentials of his own situation. Acting out the myth or ritual can produce profound catharsis and "rebirth," and so effect personality...

Effective personal and environmental hygiene has been proven successful in combating trachoma. Encouraging the washing of children s faces, improved access to clean water supplies, and proper disposal of human and animal wastes have been shown to decrease the number of trachoma infections in many communities. 

In 1973, in Czechoslovakia, the release of about 400 kg of phosgene from a damaged valve of a steel pressure vessel resulted in the medical treatment of 82 workers. Of these, 52 were diagnosed as having phosgene poisoning but pulmonary oedema was manifest in only three of the effected persons [1186], none of whom died. The poisonings from this incident occurred within 200 m of the site of the accident.

Many stone processing operations produce high sound levels. Operators exposure to noise is controlled by a combination of reducing/containing it at source, excluding it from control rooms, and the use of remote cameras with monitors in control rooms. Effective personal hearing protection is still required when operators are required to enter noisy areas. 

The threat that chemical agents will be used by hostile forces continues to be a military concern. However, effective personal protective measures and environmental detection systems will likely provide satisfactory protection for the forces in nearly all perceived scenarios involving agents described in earlier chapters of this textbook. Carefully followed decontamination procedures will reduce the possibility of further injury and allow medical personnel to render appropriate care to casualties. 

Patients who had detectable blood levels of volatile organic chemicals (often more than one chemical) and who had a variety of systemic symptoms were classified as "chemically sensitive" by Rea et al. (1987). Tetrachloroethylene was the most common chemical detected in the blood of the "chemically sensitive" individuals who were studied (found in 72 of 134 patients). No controls were used in this study, so it is not clear if tetrachloroethylene is more frequently detected in chemically sensitive individirals and/or if concentrations of tetrachloroethylene in the blood are greater in sensitive individirals than in the general population. Some adults also appear to have increased sensitivity to certain systemic effects of tetrachloroethylene, e.g., cardiac sensitization (Abedin et al. 1980). Since high doses of tetrachloroethylene are known to cause liver and kidney effects, persons with clinical or subclinical renal or hepatic disease may be predisposed to the effects of tetrachloroethylene. Persons with preexisting nervous system diseases may also be more sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of tetrachloroethylene.

The presence of an effective personal safety management system does not ensure the presence of an effective process safety management system. The Report of the BP US Refineries Independent Safety Review Panel (the Baker Panel report ), following the Texas City refinery explosion in 2005, found that personal injury rates were not predictive of process safety performance at five US refineries. 

If a large amount of H2S is inhaled, move the exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep the effected person warm and at rest. Get medical attention as soon as possible. 

Move the effected person from the hazardous exposure. If the exposed person has been overcome, notify someone else and put into effect the established emergency rescue procedures. Do not become a casualty. Understand the facility s emergency rescue procedures and NEVER attempt a rescue in an area that may contain hydrogen sulfide without using appropriate respiratory protection and acquiring proper training to perform this type of rescue.

Sulfur dioxide is classified by DOT as a nonflammable gas. In both its gaseous and liquid form it is neither flammable nor explosive. It is a respiratory and a skin and eye irritant. Consult CGA G-3, Sulfur Dioxide, for information concerning chemical and physical properties, physiological effects, personal protective equipment, and emergency action procedures. [7] CGA G-3 also provides numerous recommendations for handling and unloading all types of sulfur dioxide shipping containers.
