Guidelines professional

The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) identified the need for a publication dealing with process safety issues unique to batch reaction systems. Guidelines for Process Safety in Batch Reaction Systems, is the result of a project begun in 1997 in which a group of volunteer professionals representing major chemical, pharmaceutical and hydrocarbon processing companies, worked with Arthur D. Little Inc., to produce a book that attempts to describe the safe design and operation of batch reaction systems. The objectives of the book are to... 

The Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers owes a great deal of thanks to the dedicated and professional engineers and scientists who served with distinction on the Vapor Cloud Explosion subcommittee during the development of this Guidelines book. They are ... 

Although there is no substitute for individual action based on a firm philosophical and ethical foundation, designers have developed guidelines for professional conduct based on the experience of many of them who have had to wrestle with troublesome ethical questions and situations previously. These guidelines can be found in the published codes of ethics for designers and engineers of a number of industry and technical societies such as the Industrial Designer societies. 

Although there are major differences between national educational systems, some broad guidelines for successful science teacher professional development, culled from a review of recent curriculum development projects (Black Atkin, 1996, pp. 146-147 VanDen Akker, 1998, pp. 443 44) can be applied to a revised curricular provision in respect of the triplet relationship. The intention must be that the perception of new curricular provision by all teachers becomes congment with the intentions, content, and processes, of the formal curriculum. The guidelines suggest that...

The Internet, for many professionals, has become a favorite, convenient source for free information. The Internet is a vehicle to access a diverse array of information sources, including federal and state government documents and regulations, statements, opinions and guidelines from associations and organizations, and pharmaceutical industry documents. While the Internet is indeed powerful, it is a retrieval mechanism and the WWW site itself is the resource to be considered for relevance to the current search. The convenience of WWW resources can be quickly overshadowed by the time invested in the search and following linkages. 

In Chapter 9, lecturers V. Ortun Rubio of Pompeu Fabra University and L. Cabiedes Miragaya of the University of Oviedo address the subject of measures intended as a way of influencing prescriber decisions. The authors place special emphasis on analysing prescriber incentive policies, distinguishing between incentives of a financial nature (both coercive and non-coercive) and non-financial incentives (information, training, treatment protocols, monitoring of prescription practices, cost-effectiveness guidelines, interaction with other professionals, pressure from patients and so on). The authors advocate incentive policies based on a combination of financial and non-financial incentives. 

At present there is a fairly widespread tendency to use formularies and protocols. Thus, by way of example, Italy legislated to this effect in 1997 (seeking to generate incentives for responsible behaviour, mainly through guidelines dealing with the treatment of particular diseases). The success of this step depends on the involvement of health professionals, consensus, peer reviews and continual updating. 

Beginning March 1, the company will be instituting a new dress code. Employees are to be professional in their appearance at all times. Professional attire is a flexible term to some degree, but the final judgment shall be left to management in all areas. Some guidelines include the following ... 

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. 

The guidelines stress, however, that internal quality control is not foolproof even when properly executed. Obviously it is subject to errors of both kinds , i.e. runs that are in control will occasionally be rejected and runs that are out of control occasionally accepted. Of more importance, IQC cannot usually identify sporadic gross errors or short-term disturbances in the analytical system that affect the results for individual test materials. Moreover, inferences based on IQC results are applicable only to test materials that fall within the scope of the analytical method validation. Despite these limitations, which professional experience and diligence can alleviate to a degree, internal quality control is the principal recourse available for ensuring that only data of appropriate quality are released from a laboratory. When properly executed it is very successful. 

In this chapter, we focus on databases and Internet-based guidelines and information resources created or written for a professional audience.

In addition to the various Institutes of Health that publish professional guidelines, the NIH has designed a number of databases for professionals.9 Physician-oriented resources provide a wide variety of information related to the biomedical and health sciences, both past and present. The format of these resources varies. Searchable databases, bibliographic citations,...
