Hazards creation

There is one further point on qualitative differences. The preceding discussion has assumed that there is either an outcome (accidents) or no outcome (incidents). However, there is a type of outcome which does not fit either of these categories and that is the creation of a hazard. For example, people can quite safely lay cables across a walkway, but they have then created a hazard for themselves and others. It is not usual to deal with this type of outcome as part of a discussion of accidents and incidents but there appears no good reason for this exclusion and hazard creation will be discussed at relevant points in this chapter. 

The nature of the outcomes to be included, for example injury, sickness or damage to assets and, in particular, whether hazard creation will be... 

Pollution Prevention the use of materials, processes, or practices that reduces or eliminates the creation of pollutants or wastes at the source. It includes practices that reduce the use of hazardous materials, energy, water, or other resources and practices that protect natural resources through conservation or efficient use. 

Information management system designed to aid in the creation of MSDSs. Includes packages containing hazardous materials data for compliance with "Right to Know" legislation. 

Effects of use of safety equipment assessed apposite possible creation of additional hazard (e.g. loss of ability to hear emergency signals while wearing ear protection) ... 

Capitalizing on self-assembly and nanoscience will enhance the ability to screen drugs for individual sensitivities. Advances in drug discovery, combinatorial synthesis, and screening with sensors that have the ability to detect multitudes of specific genetic matches—marrying microelectronics and self-assembly—are expected to be near-term breakthroughs. Then the creation of advanced forms of in the field or in the office tests for chemical risks, pharmaceutical compatibility, or environmental hazards will be possible. 

A few recent events make it particularly interesting to valuate the fire hazard resulting from the burning of PVC materials, when they are present in a plenum. These include the recent regulations promulgated in New York State regarding the creation of a data base for smoke... 

The purpose of the Dow Fire and Explosion Hazard Index (Dow, 1987) is to 1) quantify the expected damage of potential fire and explosion incidents in realistic terms, 2) identify equipment that would be likely to contribute to the creation or escalation of an incident and 3) communicate the fire and explosion risk potential to management. The Dow Index is the product of the Unit Hazard Factor and the Material Factor (Table 1). 

RuleMaker, a subsystem of RuleMaster, induces rules for all situations from examples that may cover only some of the cases. At the heart of the induction process is the creation of an induction file, which in part includes examples indicating what the expert system should do under different circumstances. Now, in the example above, THE RULES FOR CORRELATING VARIOUS CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF THE HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS TESTED WITH THE PROTECTIVE ABILITY OF THE SELECTED GLOVE MATERIALS ARE NOT KNOWN — THEY WILL HAVE TO BE INDUCED FR04 THE ANALYTICAL DATA. 

A primary limitation of phytoremediation is that it takes time, and several growing seasons may be required to achieve treatment goals. Phytoremediation is also limited by the depth of the roots. The contaminants to be treated must reside in the top 3 to 6 ft of soil or, in the case of groundwater, the water table can be no more than 10 ft below ground surface. The creation of a process waste stream may also be seen as a limitation. In cases where the plant takes up and stores the contaminant, the plant may be considered a hazardous waste (depending on the contaminant type and concentrations in the plant matter). 

Work surfaces may be wetted with a fine spray to prevent creation of dust. Dusty materials being conveyed may also be sprayed. This practice not only minimizes the problem of airborne dust, but simultaneously reduces product loss. Spray heads may be located at as many locations as have dust problems because the equipment required is moderate in cost and there is no hazard to personnel from Aerosol GPG Surfactant. 

The preferred methods have shown exptl promise to date, while the others have objections, among which are high cost, inefficiency, operating hazards, or creation of secondary pollution problems. The identity and toxicity of all of the destruction products have not been completely determined in many cases, which must be done before any process is approved for general use... 

First of all, the CERCLA requires all hazardous waste releases over a prescribed threshold, known as reportable quantities (RQs), to be reported to National Response Center. Action is taken from that point to determine if it will be a CERCLA site. The CERCLA also established development of a National Contingency Plan. This plan includes all procedures for handling hazardous waste in the United States. The act also requires the creation of an uncontrolled hazardous waste site ranking system (HRS). The HRS determines if a site should be placed on the National Priorities List (NPL), which is a list of all the Superfund sites. 

Other powder issues are also important in delivering the food powder, and these include the ability to handle and transport ingredient powders, dust problems, dust fire and explosion hazards, allergy problems, creation of desirable powder particle properties, and the ability to dissolve these powders when required. Many of these issues are in common with other powders and much can be leamt from other industries dealing with powders. 

Two important sources of elemental phosphorus in soil are the creation of slag piles during the production of white phosphorus, and the disposal of solid wastes containing elemental phosphorus in hazardous waste landfills (Berkowitz et al. 1981 Idler et al. 1981). The field use of WP/F and red phosphorus/butyl rubber smoke/obscurant releases elemental phosphorus into soil primarily as unburnt phosphorus in munitions (Berkowitz et al. 1981 ... 

The Safety Section of the SOP is the most vital component, since it deals with the education and protection of those who will run the process. However, it covers more than the dangers addressed in the hazard evaluation phase. It requires the creation of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for all the chemicals needed in operating the process. It provides overall guidance on the safe operation of the process and identifies what protective gear to wear and what precautions are needed in the operation. These efforts are also inextricably linked with what needs to be done regarding process emissions and wastes.
