Reporting, incident vehicle incidents

Transport incidents a section in the report is devoted to a discussion of vehicle incidents and prevention initiatives. 

The reporting system now provides a way for operators of each nuclear power plant to reflect on their own operating experience in order to identify problems, interpret the reasons for these problems, and select corrective actions to ameliorate the problems and their causes. Incident reviews serve as important vehicles for self-analysis, knowledge sharing across boundaries inside and outside specific plants, and development of problem-resolution efforts. Both INPO and the NRC issue various letters and reports to make the industry aware of incidents as part of operating experience feedback, as does IAEA s Incident Reporting System. 

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that Fire Departments in the United States responded to an estimated 278,000 vehicle incident fires in 2006. 

Federal, state, and local governments require employers, manufacturers and others to maintain certain safety records. They may also require submitting certain reports. For example, employers must keep records of job-related incidents. Automobile drivers must complete a police incident report following a vehicle incident. Building owners must maintain records on maintenance and inspection of elevators. Later sections of this chapter will explore some of these record keeping and reporting requirements. 

Your incident reporting system requiranents should apply to all incidents involving company employees, on-site vendors, contractor employees, and visitors that result in (or might have resulted in) personal injnry, illness, or property or vehicle damage. 

You do not have to report every fatality or multiple hospitalization incident resulting from a motor vehicle accident. If the motor vehicle accident occurs on a public street or highway and does not occur in a construction work zone, you do not have to report the incident to OSHA. However, these injuries must be recorded on yom- OSHA injury and illness records, if you are required to keep them. 

Many of the reported events already will have been rectified so no further action will be required until a trend is identified that may indicate the need for further investigation. A number of near miss incidents reported involving vehicles may be an indicator that the transport safety program needs review and steps need to be taken to improve drivers skills/habits, etc. 

Requirements pertaining to vehicle attendance, parking, smoking, routing, and incident reporting. 

Retinoids cause a variable amount of irritation, more properly a heightening of cutaneous reactivity termed retinoid dermatitis, early in therapy [39-42,44]. In the first few weeks approximately 80% of patients experience stinging, hyperesthesia or pruritus, fine scaling, dryness and mild erythema (Fig. 7). These effects are dose-dependent and peak within the first month of therapy. Weiss et al. reported 92% incidence with 0.1% tretinoin and Leyden et al. a 70% incidence using 0.05% tretinoin. However, in a double blind, vehicle controlled study of 179 patients, only 4% of patients using Renova discontinued the medication as a result of adverse reactions [57]. Retinoid dermatitis usually improves markedly during the course of treatment but may not completely disappear. Other side effects are rare. 

In summary, the report is the vehicle for transmitting and documenting the investigation. It is a direct reflection of the quality and professionalism of the incident investigation team. The entire team should review the report before release. 

Discussion It is important that the apparatus assigned to the companies and personnel of this department be available to answer any and all alarms to ensure the safety of this community. Over the past few months, there have been reports that minor problems with apparatus have not been addressed in a timely manner. This is a concern due to the high number of reports of accidents and incidents involving fire service vehicles in the United States. This order will establish a method to ensure that there is a program to inspect and report the findings to the Mechanic s Office before a minor problem becomes the cause of a failure. The Mechanic s Office has an ongoing program... 

Although not stressed by the regulations, the objective of the incident investigation should be the development and implementation of recommendations to ensure the incident is not repeated. This objective should apply not only to the process involved, but also to all similar situations having the same potential. In major incidents, the Chemical Safety Board s investigation of reports serves as a vehicle to communicate to a much broader audience than the organizations that had the incident. 

Downside reports on balance the report does give the impression that the downside is being reported. The CEO s report states that 1999 was not one of our better years , and identifies the number of vehicle accidents and occupational injuries as being areas of particular concern. During 1999 there was one major incident, although its nature and impact are not reported. 

Air in holds and living quarters on board ships was studied as early as in 1886 [3]. The advent of nuclear submarines and space vehicles has introduced a new environment where man is sealed in for prolonged periods in a recycled, artificially replenished atmosphere. The incidence of upper respiratory infections in relation to air contamination of Polaris submarines was reported [4]. During a patrol a crew member could inhale unacceptable levels of staphylococci, coliforms and enterococci. 

Phenytoin may be administered either orally or intravenously and is absorbed slowly after oral administration, with peak plasma levels achieved after 3 to 12 hours. It is extensively plasma protein bound ( 90%), and the elimination half-life is between 15 and 30 hours. These large ranges reflect the considerable variability observed from patient to patient. Parenteral administration of phenytoin is usually limited to the intravenous route. Phenytoin for injection is dissolved in a highly alkaline vehicle (pFI 12). This alkaline vehicle is required because phenytoin is weakly acidic and has very poor solubility in its un-ionized form. Reportedly, however, its phosphate ester fosphenytoin has water solubility advantages over phenytoin for injection. Intramuscular phenytoin generally is avoided, because it results in tissue necrosis at the site of injection and erratic absorption because of high alkalinity. In addition, intermittent intravenous infusion is required to reduce the incidence of severe phlebitis.
