Facility owner

The establislunent of emergency response procedures, both on plant sites and off (facility owner and operator actions, as well as the actions of local emergency and medical persomicl)... 

The facility owner or operator implements RCRA corrective action. On the other hand, a number of different parties can implement a CERCLA remedial action in a number of different ways. For example, agreements may be reached that allow the PRPs, the State, or the federal government to assume the lead for certain portions of a response action. 

The facility owner (as discussed in Section 4.1) should decide upon or agree to the undesired consequences of concern before proceeding further. 

Although there is a wide range of explosions types, vapor cloud explosions are a primary concern in the petrochemical industry. Because there are no codes or industry standards for determining what blast overpressures should be used, the design blast loads are usually supplied by the facility owner. Considering the wide variety of processes, it is easy to understand why these overpressures will be different from one owner to the next and even for different locations within a single facility. Sonic owners have several hazard levels which are used to classify different plant arcas. These hazard levels are based on the material handled and the process used. 

When the decision is made to install an automatic detection system, the fire/gas detection technology should be carefully selected to match the expected hazard and the environment in which it will be installed. The design and installation of a reliable fire/gas detection system in an industrial facility should only be done by experienced personnel. Otherwise, the facility owner may have an inappropriate system and may be plagued by nuisance alarms and high maintenance costs. 

The USEPA estimates that over 6000 facilities are currently operated as treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDFs) regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), which assigns the responsibility of corrective action to facility owners and operators and authorizes the USEPA to oversee corrective actions. Unlike the Superfund, RCRA responsibility is delegated to states. The USEPA and authorized states have completed initial assessment of potential environmental contamination at over 70% of RCRA facilities, as required by statute to address corrective action. Environmental contamination at many RCRA facilities is expected to be less severe than at Superfund sites however, the total number of RCRA facilities exceeds the number of Superfund sites. The USEPA developed a computer-based system known as the RCRA National Corrective Action Prioritization System (NCAPS) to help establish priorities for corrective action activities. Among the factors considered in NCAPS are the history of hazardous waste releases, the likelihood of human and environmental exposure, and the type and quantity of waste handle at the facility. 

The Keystone of the Reactive Chemicals Program is the concept of Owner Responsibility. (When all the advice and consultation is gathered relative to an issue, it is the process or facility owner s responsibility to make the appropriate decisions. It is recommended that the Owner be defined as the person who approves the highest level of Management of Change for the facility.)... 

National implementation legislation of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia and others contains provisions on the utilization of a warrant in cases of refusal of challenge inspection on the part of the facility owner. 

Adjusted hours are the home office hours that would be required by a large engineering contractor to perform a specific scope of work for a plant with normal sized equipment. They are derived from the base hours, adjusted to take into consideration the specific situation e.g., extent of process design required, type of process and instrumentation, special site conditions, extra retrofit work, existing facilities. Owner s participation, etc. 

Therefore, by being aware of the results certain terrorist groups wish to achieve and the tactics used by these groups, a facility owner can better understand how the facility could be used by the terrorist.

Chemical engineers will need research, and the combined cooperation of facility owners, contractors and academia as never before to meet this challenge. Collectively, they will need to invest in their industry — in their future.

The internet platform www.geosynthetica.net provides comprehensive construction documents and technical support information for engineers, regulators, contractors, installers, and facility owners involved with civil and geotechnical works containing geosynthetics and especially plastic geomembranes. 

The purpose of this document is to assist in such an evaluation by providing some factual and advisory information with respect to all of the current applications of research reactors. By reference to this text, each facility owner and operator will be able to assess whether or not a new application is feasible with the reactor, and what will be required to develop capability in that application. 

Building/facility owner Is the legal entity, including a lessee, which exercises control over management and record keeping functions relating to a building and/or facility in which activities covered by this standard take place. 

Requirement for facility owners to notify tenants or employers of presence of ACM and PACM... 

Q. You would like clarification on a provision in the asbestos standard for construction, .1101 (k)(2)(ii)(D), which states that building and facility owners shall notify tenants who will occupy building areas containing asbestos-containing material (ACM) and presumed asbestos-containing material (PACM). You asked whether, under that provision, tenants are required to be notified only when there is a disturbance of ACM or PACM in their spaces You also asked if there was any requirement under the general industry standard for asbestos ( 1910.1001) for building owners to notify tenants of the presence of ACM. 

A. This provision in the construction asbestos standard requires building and facility owners to notify tenants who will occupy building areas of the presence, location, and quantity of ACM and PACM in their spaces. This provision is triggered when any construction work, as defined by 1926.1101, is planned, per paragraph (k)(2)(i). The notification requirement is not limited to situations in which a disturbance of ACM or PACM will be taking place in the presence of the tenant. Tenants must be informed in advance in order to protect themselves from asbestos hazards, and so they may, in turn, inform any subtenants, housekeeping services, or other maintenance or construction employers that may be contracted by the tenants to perform work in the leased space where there is the potential for contact with ACM or PACM.
