Facility defined

ERA S RMP requires that the order in which PrHAs are conducted be prioritized based on offsite consequences. The qualitative evaluation of safety and health impacts focuses on impacts on public health and environment rather than impacts on employees. The identification of previous incidents as a part of the prevention program PrHA is limited to those with offsite consequences rather than those with catastrophic consequences in the workplace as required by the PSM Rule. Facilities are expected to have fewer incidents to consider under the ERA RMP rule, because some potential incidents will not have offsite impacts. Another ERA requirement, which is not included in the OSHA PSM rule, is that a facility define its management system. Facilities are required to identify the person (by name) or the position responsible for implementing the prevention program. 

The "Guide for Classification of Safety Function Importance in Light Water Nuclear Power Reactor Facilities" defines the relative importance of various fimctions necessaiy to ensure the safely. The basis had been established for adequate requirement to be met by design of structures, systems and component that are expected to perform such function. 

The area containing the spent fuel storage facility, defined by a boundary and imder effective control of the plant management. 

The type of development, type and number of development wells, recovery factor and production profile are all inter-linked. Their dependency may be estimated using the above approach, but lends itself to the techniques of reservoir simulation introduced in Section 8.4. There is never an obvious single development plan for a field, and the optimum plan also involves the cost of the surface facilities required. The decision as to which development plan is the best is usually based on the economic criterion of profitability. Figure 9.1 represents a series of calculations, aimed at determining the optimum development plan (the one with the highest net present value, as defined in Section 13). 

In Section 10.0, we have discussed process design and processing equipment rather than the layout oi production facilities. Once a process scheme has been defined, the fashion in which equipment and plant is located is determined partly by transportation considerations (e.g. pipeline specifications) but also by the surface environment. 

Vehicle testing is the best way to determine low temperature requirements. These tests can be carried out in environmentally controlled facilities under strictly defined conditions or in actual use. Many companies and industry groups carry out customer tests in cold climates such as northern Canada or Finland. 

Total Capital Cost The installed cost of the fixed-capital investment Cpc is obviously an essential item which must be forecast before an investment decision can be made. It forms pai4 of the total capital investment Cfc, defined by Eq. (9-14). The fixed-capital investment is usually regarded as the capital needed to provide all the depreciable facihties. It is sometimes divided into two classes by defining battery limits and auxiliaiy facilities for the project. The boundary for batteiy limits includes all manufacturing equipment but excludes administrative offices, storage areas, utihties, and other essential and nonessential auxihaiy facilities. 

Startup costs are defined as the total of those costs directly related to bringing a new production facility into operation. They should not include the costs of entering or expanding a business. Hence startup costs include the following ... 

The assessor should establish whether in the contract with the client those responsibilities are defined for example, who is loading or discharging the truck (the driver or the supplying or receiving facilities personnel ) or is the ship/ shore interface established ... 

A method for graphically displaying individual risk results is use of the risk contour, or risk isopleth. If individual risk is defined as the likelihood of someone suffering a specified injury or loss, then individual risk can be calculated at particular geographic locations around the vicinity of a facility or operation. If the individual risk is calculated at many points surrounding the facility, then points of equal risk can be connected to... 

The facility manufactured (defined to include imported), processed, or otherwise used any listed chemical in quantities equal to orgreaterthan the established threshold in the course of a calendar year. 

A ull-time employee," for purposes of section 313 reporting, is defined as 2,000 work hours per year. To determine the number of full-time employees atyourfacility, add up the hours worked by all employees during the calendar year, including contract employees and sales and support staff working at the facility and divide the total by 2,000 hours. In other words, if the total numter of hours worked by all employees is 20,000 hou rs or more, your facility meets the ten employee threshold. 

Section 313 requires that reports be filed by facilities," which are defined as all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by the same person." The SIC code system, however, classifies business establishments," which are defined as distinct and separate economic activities [thatj are performed at a single physical location."... 

Import is defined as causing the chemical to be imported into the customs territory of the United States. If you order a covered toxic chemical (or a mixture containing the chemical) from a foreign supplier, then you have imported the chemical when that shipment arrives at your facility directly from a source outside of the United States. By ordering the chemical, you have caused it to be imported," even though you may have used an import brokerage firm as an agent to obtain the chemical. 

Article Exemptions. You do not have to factor into threshold or release determinations quantities of a listed toxic chemical contained In an article when that article is processed or used at your facility. An article is defined as a manufactured item that is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture, that has end-use functions dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end-use, and that does not release a toxic chemical under normal conditions of the processing or use of that item at the facility. 

The SIC code system defines business "establlshmenls as "distinct and separata economic activities [that] are performed at a single physical location." Under section 372.30(c) of the reporting rule, you may submit a separate Form R for each establishment, or for groups of establishments, in your covered facility, provided that all releases of the toxic chemicals... 

You must provide information on your parent company. For purposes of Form R. a parent company is defined as the highest level company, located in the United States, that directly owns at least 50 percent of the voting stock of your company. If yourfacility is owned by a foreign entity, enter not applicable, NA, in this space. Corporate names should be treated as parent company names for companies with multiple facility sites. For example, the Bestchem Corporation is not owned or controlled by any other corporation but has sites throughout the country whose names begin with Bestchem. In this case, Bestchem Corporation would be listed as the parent company. 

If the RFA or other information has indicated a release of hazardous constituents, then from the owner/operator s perspective, the Corrective Action process truly begins. The first step in the process, the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI), is directed toward development of the engineering information about the site necessary to permit selection and evaluation of remedial alternatives. The main engineering thrust of the RFI is the characterization of site conditions by defining the nature and extent of the problem. 

Accident Sequence Modeling using a logic model for the facility was developed. The model included all initiators of potential accidents and the response of the installation to these initiators. Specific accident sequences are defined in event trees consisting of an initiating...

Define service restoration instructions covering the actions required to restore equipment or facilities into service, including restoration and response times. This is usually first line maintenance and may not require any repair action. 

Figure 12-1 defines the various types of heads. Most production facility vessels use ellipsoidal heads because they are readily available, normally less expensive, and take up less room than hemisphericaj heads.
