Equipment safety overview

The "P" has been replaced with "BSL" or Biosafety Level. There are four biosafety levels which are defined according to a combination of facility design, laboratory practices and techniques, equipment and health and safety controls. It is not practical to try to completely describe all of the features and definitions pertaining to biocontainment laboratories in a chapter dedicated to an overview of design. Therefore, we will concentrate on the elements of building design for "maximum containment" or BSL-4 facilities. 

PID The Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P ID) shows in detail all the equipment, how it is connected with piping, where and what type of instrumentation and valves are used, the location of temperature, pressure, level and flow controllers (and indicators). Further it will show all the safety devices and alarms. The PI Ds give a comprehensive overview over the plant or the unit and it is a common document for mechanical, process, and instrumentation engineers in the downstream activities [851]. 

Construction Safety Management and Engineering by Hill (2003), Construction Safety Manual by Heberle (1998), among others. A recently published book titled Construction Equipment and Methods-Planning, Iimovation, Safety by Bemold (2013) provides an overview of how to prevent accidents with used equipment in the construction industry. The book also presents methods for the safe design of trenches, formwork, and temporary stmctures. 

Documentation will consist of standard publications on topics such as safe work practices, work permits, overviews of the processes, and the use of material safety data sheet (MSDS). This person will be given generic equipment training on issues such as how centrifugal pumps work, how to read a distributed control system (DCS) screen, and the internal operation of relief valves.

The status of safety-related systems and fiinctions is presented in a similar way, in accordance with the organization of the Emergency Operation Procedures (EOP). The parameters that are of immediate interest in a disturbance situation, are presented in a direct form. This means that the reactor pressure vessel with in- and outflow connections, together with neutron flux, water level, and reactor pressure, as well as control rods fiilly in (or not), are displayed directly. Other safety functions are indicated as normal, disturbed or failed in a similar way as for the plant overview, with detailed information at the reactor operator s desk. In this context, it can be noted that the computer-based reactor scram function via the reactor protection system (RPS) has been supplemented by a scram backup system that is implemented in hard-wired equipment. 

General safety rules are designed to protect human life, the environment, and physical equipment or facilities. Before a new technician even enters a refinery or chemical plant, a simple overview of the general plant safety rules is conducted. These rules include ... 

Part 7 Part 7 contains important information for those doing product development work on equipment to be certified per lEC 61508. Annex A addresses control of random hardware failures. Annex B covers the avoidance of systematic failures through the different phases of the safety life cycle. Annex C provides a detailed overview of techniques for achieve high software integrity. 

The next component of ABSS is a machine/equipment-specific checklist. This is a checklist that is used to focus on specific identified safety issues for each piece of machinery and/or equipment in the organization. This checklist is developed and updated by the employees and supervisor who works with and around the specific equipment with the input from the safety staff. The key to this list is not to make it overly detailed. We suggest that no more than 15 of the most important items are listed on this checklist, which may cover specific inherent hazards of a machine or equipment. Refer to Appendix P, Operator General Observations and Machine/ Equipment-Specific Daily Inspection Checklist . For an overview, refer to Figure 11.2, Sample General Observations and Machine/Iiquipment-Specific Daily Inspection Checklist . 

Laboratory Manual (0-321-81377-4) Prepared by John B. Vincent and Erica Livingston, both of the University of Alabama. This manual contains 29 experiments with a focus on real-world applications. Each experiment contains a set of pre-laboratory questions, an introduction, a step-by-step procedure (including safety information), and a report section featuring post-laboratory questions. Additional features include a section on laboratory safety rules, an overview on general techniques and equipment, and a detailed tutorial on graphing data in Excel. 

There are many other safety and health issues that demand attention in warehouse operations. The intent of this chapter is to give a brief overview of six separate program elements that could require employee training, planned inspections, and OSHA con liance. Many of the program elements would require more details and information than is being presented here. To learn more about them individually, check with equipment distributors, safety consultants, or OSHA.
