Guidelines good practice

LON 07] London Underground, Station Planning Standards and Guidelines - Good Practice Guide, G-371A, A2, May 2007. 

It is good practice to reviewa project on completion and record the reasons for departure between planned and actual performance. Where lessons can be learned, or opportunities exploited, they should be incorporated into project management guidelines. Some companies hold post project sessions with their contractors to explore better ways of handling particular issues, especially when there is an expectation of additional shared activities. 

This guideline describes methods to help the chemical processing industry apply the CCPS chemical process safety concepts to outsourced manufacturing operations, specifically the tolling vendor-client relationship. In addition to the focus on process safety, information and examples provided in this text foster good practices relative to community and worker health, and environmental responsibility. 

All five elements combine to help ensure that the tolling operation is performed safely, efficiently, and in an environmentally sound manner. The ultimate reward to industry for embracing applicable good practices presented in this guideline is a vibrant business with minimized risk. The flowchart on page 3 shows the basic process for tolling as presented in this guideline. 

Current good practice guidelines on how to effectively manage reactive hazards throughout the life cycle16 of a chemical manufacturing process are neither complete nor sufficiently explicit. 

Section 6.0 and Appendix D discuss good practices and guidelines for reactive hazard management. 

Good practice guidelines illustrate how these parameters are typically examined for both normal and postulated abnormal conditions, such as variations in reactant quantity, concentration, agitation, sequence, time, failure of utilities, and instrumentation. Qualitative hazard evaluation protocols are not well suited for such complex chemical phenomena (e.g., the severity of an uncontrolled reaction under a loss of electrical power may not be apparent without sufficient test data). 

Both ACC and SOCMA have programs to promote good practices among their member companies in the area of chemical process safety.59 In 1989, ACC developed the Responsible Care Process Safety Code60 to prevent fires, explosions, and accidental chemical releases. The code and its accompanying resource guidelines include a series of recommended management practices. 

There are extensive writings on reactive hazard management. The term guidelines is used herein to refer to good practices that are nonmandatory and are developed through industry consortia, committees, professional societies, and other bodies. 

CSB analysis included guidelines that focus primarily on the process safety of reactive chemicals other good practices that might include some elements of reactive process safety were not included. 

GPP Good practice point based on the view of the Guideline Development Group... 

In the course of product development, testing in both animals and humans is subject to varying degrees of legal control, supplemented by a significant quantity of ethical or good practice guidelines. 

Set out below are guidelines on company procedures which are regarded as representing good practice in this regard. They are minimum requirements and will need to be adapted to fit in with the arrangements at any particular company. 

Correspondences in WHO GMP Guideline In the WHO GMP guideline [36] issues related to holding and distribution are covered in Chapters 6 (Product Recalls), 14 (Materials), 15 (Documentation), and 16 (Good Practices in Production). Correspondences to regulation 211.142 are covered in Subchapters 14.4,14.26, and 16.2, which state the requirements for the storage and quarantine of products. Correspondences to regulation 211.150 are covered in Subchapters 6.1-6.8,15.45, and 16.2, which state the requirements for distribution and recalls. 

The Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention has developed a guideline on good practices for computers used in a regulated environment [10].
