Hazard countermeasure

See Design Safety Feature, Design Safety Measure,Design Safety Mechanism, and Hazard Countermeasure for additional information. 

It should be noted that the terms safety feature, safety measure, safety mechanism, DSF, design safety measure, design safety mechanism, and hazard countermeasure are synonymous and can be used interchangeably however, most system safety practitioners tend to use the terms safety feature or safety measure most often. 

A hazard countermeasure is a special and intentional feature in the design of a system or product employed specifically for the purpose of ehminating or... 

Provides chemical information to assist response to emergencies involving spills of hazardous materials. Contains chemical, physical, and biological data, and specific response-oriented information (c.g., countermeasures). Developed by (he U.S. Coast Guard. 

All owner or operator who has already prepared a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan need only amend tliat plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions sufficient to comply with tliis section... 

The above data should be useful for tlie planning to be accomplished by tlie local emergency planning committee and first responders, especially fire departments and HAZMAT teams. Both tlie hazards analysis (discussed in detail in Parts II and IV) and tlie development of emergency countermeasures should be facilitated by the availability of MSDS information. If significant new information regarding a chemical is discovered, revised material safely data sheets must be submitted.

Abstract Many hazardous substances of today had been looked at as valuable chemicals some decades ago. At present, management especially in the case of scarce, non-renewable resources is of growing importance. The experiences collected with the management of contaminants might be helpful also for valuable resources. This is demonstrated using two well-documented examples, Cd and PCBs. Pt serves as a counterexample to prove if the DPSIR method can be applied to contaminants and resources without fundamental changes. Some of the countermeasures introduced to control environmental contaminants may also be applied to save non-renewable resources. 

Finding 4. The closure plan is incomplete in that it does not sufficiently address contingencies such as control of spills, dust, or special materials such as asbestos, nor does it specify countermeasures for mitigation of these potential situations. Moreover, the hazardous waste management units (HWMUs) at JACADS and the Red Hat Storage Area differ in the chemicals to be analyzed, their management and associated...

When faced with an environment made hazardous by the presence of toxic chemicals, it is imperative to quickly identify the nature and extent of the hazard in order to take appropriate countermeasures. While the speed and accuracy of chemical analysis is steadily improving, devices suitable for field use are usually the result of a compromise. Thus, falsepositive responses are prevalent due to the dire nature of a false-negative response. The only other option is to bring a full-scale laboratory to the site and there are military vehicles designed for this purpose. This option is impractical in most cases and so false-positive responses are currently the norm. 

Chapter 2 Typical examples of accidents involving reactive chemicals are presented so that readers will understand the nature of existing hazards associated with reactive chemicals. Readers will appreciate that similar accidents can happen in the future and that countermeasures should be prepared to prevent such accidents. 

Countermeasure Plan applies to any facility that has oil or hazardous materials that has the potential to reach the nation s waters. These regulations are located in 40 CFR 112. 

This procedure used for the identification and assessment of hazards is most probably the best-known and most widely acknowledged of the qualitative methods. While the full German name for this method, prognosis, identification of the cause, estimation of consequences, deduction of countermeasures - PAAG , emphasizes its safety technical application, it seems that the English name gives the more precise description of the method,, diazard and operability study .
