Identify Gaps and Overlaps

Once you have gatheted the infonnation you need, your next challenge is to organize it so that you and the team can readily identify gaps and overlaps. Several tools can help you. 

AP Approver—Allocates resources, signs off, can veto. Delegates 

PM Prime Mover—Has more responsibility than any other staff 

You will note that in this example, more than one job description applies to several of the elements, indicating potential overlap at the same time, some other elements display no clearly definable responsibility, suggesting a posable

Other Applications. Despite the ability of TED spectroscopy to detect surface states, comparatively little work has been done with semi-conductors. In a careful study of germanium Shepherd identified emission from the valence band and also from a band of surface states. Conduction band emission is negligible in the [100] direction but has been detected in emission from Ge (111). TED spectra from both field-evaporated and annealed 200 ohm-cm p-type silicon tips show electrons to be emitted from occupied surface states within the band gap which lie close to, and overlap, the valence band edge. TED spectra from CdS, PbTe, and GaP have proved to be broad and to contain tittle information. Weak unidentified features appear in the TED from TiC crystals and much stronger field-dependent peaks... 

A mapping was made between the system-level safety requirements and constraints and the individual responsibilities of each component in the NASA safety control structure to see where and how requirements are enforced. The ITA program was at the time being carefully defined and documented. In other situations, where such documentation may be lacking, interview or other techniques may need to be used to elicit how the organizational control structure actually works. In the end, complete documentation should exist in order to maintain and operate the system safely. While most organizations have job descriptions for each employee, the safety-related responsibilities are not necessarily separated out or identified, which can lead to unidentified gaps or overlaps. 

This technique envisions a primitive or unprotected system and systematically evaluates the effect of adding various controls. This approach appears to be primarily a brainstorming approach designed to detect both gaps and areas of overlapping protection to aid in identifying the most cost-effective control measures (Head 1986). 

To fulfill its charge, the committee met five times over a 1 -year period and was briefed by stakeholders. To address its first task, the committee reviewed the offshore wind farm environment and identified hazards unique to offshore wind farms. Next, the committee compared hazards of offshore wind farms with those of the offshore oil and gas industry. For its second task, the committee examined the jurisdictional authority of relevant federal agencies and the regulatory approaches offered by each and determined whether gaps or overlaps of jurisdiction exist. For its third task, the committee evaluated the current regulatory framework and provided options for enhancing regulations for worker health and safety on wind farms on the OCS. 

The committee s charge was to assess the U.S. Department of the Interior s (DOFs) approach for regulating the health and safety of wind farm workers on the outer continental shelf (OCS). The committee s three main tasks were to identify unique risks to worker health and safety on wind farms as compared with oil and gas operations on the OCS (see Chapters 2 and 4), to identify any gaps or overlaps in jurisdictional authority (see Chapter 3), and to evaluate the adequacy of and recommend enhancements to current regulations for worker health and safety on OCS wind farms (see Chapters 3 and 5). 

Where r = the radius of the collimator s FOV, and is simply calculated from the collimator angle and detector height. This ensures that there is sufficient overlap of the circular FOV of the collimator in adjacent measurements that there are no gaps in the coverage at the ground surface. It was found that the cost of this full coverage method was comparable with that of a 20 sample ex situ survey, which would have a low probability of identifying smaller hotspots.
