Health management

Conventional alloy seleetion, eoating speeifieation and failure investigation skills will always be required, as will inspeetion serviees to eonfirm the eondition of the plant. However, the phenomenon labeled eorrosion should no longer be regarded as a neeessary evil as it is only a problem when out of eontrol. The eleetroehemieal behavior eharaeterizing eorrosion is also the means by whieh on-line plant health management ean be aehieved. 

A. Safety and health supervisors at the site must be given the authority to exereise their judgment in matters of employee safety and health. Management deeisions related to safety and health must refleet the judgment of sueh individuals. 

The Site I subeontraetor also laeked a baekup safety and health supervisor fully trained in site safety and health management. The aeting health and safety speeialist (HSS) at Site E was a site worker who had held the position for one week. This individual stated to the audit team that he did not meet the eorporate or SSAHP qualiheations required to hold that position. Apparently, while the Site E eontraetor was waiting for the results of the LTEV performanee test and the unit was not in operation, site management determined that less health and safety oversight was needed. 

The 40 CFR regulations have more limited worker safety and health requirements than 1910.120, whieh resulted in eertain defieieneies in the emergeney response plan. Subeontraetor employees indieated uneer-tainty about eorreet evaeuation proeedures and stated that they were unaware that sueh a plan was eurrently in plaee. Due to the departure of the safety and health manager at this site, employees did not know who to eall in an emergeney or where the number would be listed.

Carcinogenicity is one of the toxicological endpoints that pose the highest concern for human health. Nowadays, protection against cancer resulting from exposure to chemicals in the environment is a critical goal in public health management. 

Managed healthcare systems also have interests in reductionist definitions of disease. The payment and reimbursement structures of Health Management Organizations (HMOs) require that conditions be identified and coded in terms of a predefined list of syndromes with pre-established measures of cost and risk. Calling for evidence-based medicine , HMOs are more likely to reimburse conditions that are defined as biological because diagnosis appears objective.

Previous studies have found that cyanotoxic compounds may accumulate in sym-patric plants as well as in the tissues of herbivorous fish and invertebrates (reviewed in Zurawell et al. 2005). The accumulation of cyanotoxins at these trophic levels provides a direct path to both aquatic and, potentially, terrestrial consumers (Negri and Jones 1995 Kotak et al. 1996 Giovannardi et al. 1999). However, these compounds are rarely encountered in higher trophic levels in freshwater systems (Kotak et al. 1996 Zurawell et al. 2005). Nevertheless, attempts to minimize cyanotoxins in water bodies for recreational use should remain a major focus of environmental and public health managers, especially in light of the evidence that low doses may still have sublethal effects on the larval development of aquatic vertebrates (Oberemm et al. 1999).
