FIGURE 1.1.1.2 The Four Principles of Safety. These four principles appear in nearly every section of this book. Memorizing, and using, these ideas whenever you think about safety issues will lead to incident-free laboratories. 

RADWASS has been organized in a hierarchical structure of four levels of safety documents. The top-level publication is a document of safety fundamentals which provides the basic safety objectives and fundamental principles to be followed in national waste management programmes. The lower levels include safety standards, safety guides, and safety practice documents. The series has been structured in a logical and clear manner to reflect the systems approach to waste management. 

Four principles of occupational safety (Reese Eidson, 1999) are... 

In summary, four pillars support the structure of Good Laboratory Practice. All of them serve important functions in the context of performing and monitoring safety studies, and all of them need to be based on the strong conviction that GLP is the one mean to achieve quality data. Certainly, there are other aspects and issues in GLP that may be seen as nearly equally important, and they will be dealt with extensively further on, but Test Facility Management, Quality Assurance, Study Director, and National Compliance Monitoring Authorities are the key positions where real adherence to the Principles of GLP, not only by the letter but by the spirit of them, is determined in the end. 

You ll find presentation material here for classroom use or for self-instruction. There are also workshop problems, and there s our Jacobs Sverdrup System Safety Scrapbook of ideas on the principles of system safety practice. You ll also find four bibliographies of texts pertinent to this field, as well as a System Safety and Risk Management Guide for Engineering Educators. All of these materials undergo revisions from time to time, so revisit the site often to see new and important items. 

These four historic defenses were the beginning of the shirking of, and excuses for, safety responsibility. By putting the blame on the worker, the safety burden is shifted to the employees, and statements such as The majority of injuries are as a result of the unsafe behavior of the worker reinforce this incorrect assumption and misdirect well-intended safety efforts. Safety culture shift involves recognizing the principle of multiple causes and forces employers to look beyond the injured worker to seek root causes of accidents. 

With respect to the order of chapters, it was suggested by professors who use the book that the chapters representing basics about the practice of safety be the leading chapters. So, the first four chapters are now On Becoming a Profession, Defining the Practice of Safety, Principles for the Practice of Safety A Basis for Discussion, and Academic and Skill Requirements for the Practice of Safety. ... 

The implementation of safety standards for nuclear installations, including those of the IAEA s Nuclear Safety Standards (NUSS) programme, has indicated a need for a separate publication to present the fundamental principles of nuclear safety. The Safety Series publications form a hierarchy of four levels with Safety Fundamentals at the highest level. Other levels correspond to Safety Standards, Safety Guides and Safety Practices. This Safety Fundamentals publication is intended not only for those people who are interested in the more detailed Safety Standards and Safety Guides, but also for those technical and political decision makers who may need a concise explanation of the fundamental safety principles. 

The NA 102 [3] is a worksheet which recommends holistic and interdisciplinary alarm design principles. It shows advantage by providing all four stages of the human-automation interaction process model, the use of optical and acoustical design pattern, and the illustration with practical examples. The standard only focuses on system failures (safety).
