Step 1 involves collecting basic facility identification information. 

If you do not have a mailing label or cannot locate your TRI Facility Identification Number, please contact the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline. Enter your TRI Facility Identification number to each Form R that your facility submits. 

Contains information on industrial location, storage, and release to air, water, and land of SARA Section 313 chemicals. Data is divided into the following categories facility identification, substance identification, environmental release of chemical, waste treatment, and off-site waste transfer. 

Following the identification and evaluation of the resources available to the facility, the Emergency Preparedness Team, under the direction of the manager, develops the written ERP for the entire facility. The Emergency Preparedness Team is responsible for ensuring that the written facility ERP informs all employees of their roles in an emergency and the hazards to which they may be exposed. 

A spectrum contains an enormous quantity of information. This information can only be used when definitive feature-by-feature correspondences with a known spectrum can be established or, when the spectrum contains previously unobserved transitions, if the spectrum can be assigned. Some form of pattern recognition is essential. Every improvement in the accuracy of the frequency calibration will be rewarded by more facile identification and unambiguous assignment of the spectrum. 

Some NFA investigators believe that too much focus is placed on the IND post-det scenario at present. Their opinion is that, should such a catastrophe become reality, the counterterrorism enterprise of any organization had failed in a most fundamental way, and perhaps more assets should have been devoted to enhanced surveillance, improved radiation instrumentation, device detection, etc. A similar view is sometimes expressed for source NFA in the pre-det arena. Although very important to know the identity and isotopic composition of a radioactive threat, additional source analyses would perhaps provide nuclear production details, facility identification, and the time since last chemical processing. However, were the material or an assembled weapon stolen, such source information would likely be but nominally productive in attribution efforts. Indeed, only pre- or post-det (RDD) route analyses have the potential to identify terrorist personnel and places of interest, a point sometimes unappreciated by NFA programmatic efforts. 

Panduit announced that they now offer a complete line of lockout devices for electrical circuit breakers. This is part of Panduit s Complete Safety System, which includes lockout devices for electrical and mechanical energy sources, safety signage, facility identification products, and training aids to assist with OSHA compliance.

Assessment Phase The assessment phase aims to collect data needed to identify and analyze pollution-prevention opportunities. Assessment of the facility s waste-reduction needs includes the examination of hazardous waste streams, process operations, and the identification of techniques that often promise the reduction of waste generation. Information is often derived from obsei vations made during a facihty walk-through, interviews with employees (e.g., operators, line workers), and review of site or regulatory records. One professional organization suggests the following information sources be reviewed, as available (Ref. 7) ... 

Specific information on the handling of the processed fractions may also be included. Specific containers or types of containers may be required to minimize analytical interference. Sample identification numbers may be assigned in the protocol or may be generated by the processing facility. In either case, each processed fraction should have a unique identification number to reduce confusion at the processing facility and at the analytical laboratory where the residues will be determined. 

Asbestos. EPA issued a proposed rule concerning identification and correction of friable asbestos-containing materials in schools. Based on data voluntarily submitted, EPA estimated that at least 8,600 public schools attended by over 3 million children contain such materials. However, EPA reportedly has no information on another 44,000 schools. Classroom concentrations of asbestos fibers in some schools have been found to approximate concentrations in homes of asbestos workers who do not have shower or laundry facilities at work. Since children exposed to asbestos will live long enough to allow the cancer latency period to elapse, the presence of friable asbestos materials in schools represents a potentially enormous public health problem. The final asbestos rule will reportedly be promulgated in the near future. (The rule was published May 27, 1982.) No other regulations regarding asbestos have been issued. 

The documentation should include the basic process knowledge and design considerations that form the foundation for facility design and operation. Prior to design, it is essential that this documentation be as complete as possible, since the identification and control of chemical reactivity hazards will be developed from this information. As subsequent knowledge is obtained or developed as a result of process or technology modification, it should also be incorporated into the documentation and carefully reviewed. 

A natural extension of analytical automation is some means of data processing all the results that are generated. This usually takes the form of a central computer which accepts information from different analysers for presentation in a useful manner. The identification of a sample and the tests performed are typed in using a keyboard and the computer collates all the data on each sample. As well as collecting information, computing and statistically assessing results, an important facility of the computer lies in its ability to store information for future recall via a visual display unit. 

A card reader system is a type of electronic identification system that is used to identify a card and then perform an action associated with that card. Depending on the system, the card may identify where a person is or where he or she was at a certain time, or it may authorize another action, such as disengaging a lock. For example, a security guard may use his or her card at card readers located throughout a facility to indicate that he or she has checked a certain location at a certain time. The reader will store the information and/or send it to a central location, where it can be checked later to ensure that the guard has patrolled the area. Other card reader systems can be associated with a lock, so that the cardholder must have his or her card read and accepted by the reader before the lock disengages.
