Adequate pre-shop provision, thorough training, and strict oversight of the shoppers, as described above, were critical to the successful execution of the sample collection phase of the OPMBS. Each shopper received a kit containing sample labels and containers to hold the sampled commodities, ice packs and packaging materials, labels and boxes for use in shipping the collected commodities, written instructions, and forms well before the scheduled date of collection. The sample coordinator monitored sample collection and advised shoppers of actions to take when problems inevitably arose. 

Laws authorize the activities and responsibilities of the various federal agencies. All proposed laws before Congress are referred to committees for review and approval. The committees responsible for FDA oversight are summarized in Table 2.5. This table also highlights the fact that authorizations and appropriations (the funding necessary to execute authorizations) are handled by different committees.

The Executive Council, which has oversight of the operations of the OPCW on behalf of the States Parties, has had substantial achievements since entry into force. However, there has been disappointment that the Executive Council has not been able to reach decisions on many important issues, including some dating back to the Paris Resolution (tasks that the Preparatory Commission was requested to resolve before entry into force) that are considered important for the effective operation of the OPCW. The unresolved issues include legal and technical ones related to industry declarations and verification. The Review Document expressed concern about these delays and urged the Executive Council to increase its momentum and strive to conclude all unresolved issues. ...

When first put into use—and every few months thereafter— the flow conditions for optimum response of the FID should be determined. This can be done by the time-honored method of repeated injections while varying the flow rate of air and especially of hydrogen or by a faster method recently publicized (18). This test takes but a few minutes to execute but can improve analytical results considerably. To even mention FID optimization may well be redundant. It has been my experience, however, that most gas chromatographs equipped with flame ionization detectors are run under less than ideal flow conditions. In trace analysis, this oversight may be crucial.

Timeline for Event Analysis. The determination of a sentinel event must be initiated within the first forty-eight hours after notification of the accident/event has taken place and the initial fact finding has commenced. The causal analysis needs to be completed as soon as possible, to preserve an accurate account of events, discover the multiple factors contributing to the accident, and decrease system vulnerabilities for other patients. Generally, the initial summary report to the professional executive council, the patient safety steering committee, the board of directors, and the quality oversight committee should be completed within thirty days, but not later than forty-five days after notification of the event.
