Failure to danger

Where the initiating event is caused by the failure of an item of equipment, the failure rate per year may be derived from the failure-to-danger rate of the equipment item. [Pg.94]

Type 2 devices can be manufactured with a single output signal switching device but must have a periodic test to reveal any failures to danger. Such failures must be detected immediately, or as a result of the periodic test occurring after the failure occurs, or at the next actuation of the light curtain. [Pg.219]

The costs of a wrong decision are loss of production, on the one hand, and failure to respond to a real emergency on the other. In order to improve his or her decision basis, the control room worker will usually dispatch others to the source of the emergency signal to declare whether it is spurious (false alarm) or whether it is real, but it is containable without need for depressurizing. This takes up valuable time, during which the situation could escalate dangerously. [Pg.336]

Furthermore, concentrates may also be used as conventional additives in the same polymer or in different polymers. In this way a substantive antioxidant (or modifier) system can be produced with very high effectiveness especially under aggressive environments. In comparison, under such demanding conditions, conventional antioxidants will not only lead to premature failure of the polymer but also to dangerous situations such as in the case in food contact application (packaging), medical uses of polymers (artificial joints), and failure of aircraft tyres where human lifes are at risk. [Pg.414]

Fail to Danger - A system design or condition such that the failure of a component, subsystem or system or input to it, will automatically revert to an unsafe condition or state of highest critical consequence for the component, subsystem, or system. [Pg.285]

Failure Mode - The action of a device or system to revert to a specified state upon failure of the utility power source that normally activates or controls the device or system. Failure modes are normally specified as fail open (FO), fail closed (FC) or fail steady (FS) which will result in a fail safe or fail to danger arrangement. [Pg.285]

The oxoacid is then metabolised in the usual way (see below). High activities of the oxidase are found in Uver and kidney where its function is to remove rapidly (i.e. detoxify) the D-amino acids. Failure to metabolise these amino acids could lead to their accumulation in cells with the danger of osmotic effects or interference in the metabolism of L-amino acids. [Pg.160]

Lastly, always follow the label. Any material sold as a crop protection chemical in the United States must be registered with the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and labeled. The label must be followed. Failure to do so is illegal and can be dangerous. Labels list time and rate of application and the vegetables and pests on which the product can be used. They also contain other information, such as safety precautions. Always read the label and use the chemical only where and how it is permitted. It is possible to cause severe environmental or bodily injury if agricrrltural chemicals are misused. In no case does the Agricultirral Extension Service recommend the use of any plant protection substance in a marmer inconsistent with its label. [Pg.14]

The pilot plant must also be carefully designed so that its control and safety systems are, fail-safe, and any unexpected equipment or utility failure brings the unit into a safe and de-eneigized condition. Unexpected or rapid process changes, if they can herald or lead to dangerous conditions (eg, runaway exothermic reaction), should be continuously monitored by appropriate instrumentation and suitable automatic action provided (1,55—67). [Pg.43]

The procedures in this manual and the resulting cnd-product are extremely dangerous. Whenever dealing with high explosives, special precautions should be followed in accordance with industry standards for experimentation and production of high explosives. Failure to strictly follow such industry standards may result in harm to life or limb. [Pg.2]

The time between regular inspection of the relief valve is 1 year, and the failure rate (to danger) is 0.01 failures per year. So the hazard rate arising from this demand on the relief valve is given by Equation (1) above to yield... [Pg.338]
