Incidents indices

The long list of vapor cloud explosion incidents indicates that the presence of a quantity of fuel constitutes a potential explosion hazard. If a quantity of flammable material is released, it will mix with air, and a flammable vapor cloud may result. If... [Pg.111]

The presence of the enzyme and cofactor are co-incident, indicating that lipoic acid may indeed be the trae substrate of the archaebacterial dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. Interestingly, their presence can be correlated with the organisms phylogenetic positions within the archaebacteria. That is, the archaea comprise two main divisions - the methanogens, extreme halophiles. Thermoplasma and Thermococcus in one, and the remaining sulphur-dependent thermophiles in the other [66,72]. The enzyme and/or the cofactor have been detected in all the phenotypes of the former division but neither have yet been discovered in the latter. Further analyses are required to test this correlation as the data are incomplete. [Pg.8]

During the transition period after being purchased by another company, the site was relying on the previous owner for preventive maintenance services. A thermography report issued eight months prior to the incident indicated the failed breaker as a potential problem. However, no work order was issued to address the breaker because the thermography technician did not have access to the site s work order system. [Pg.128]

Another important issue concerning incident indices is their reporting types. One is an actrral reporting rate which will be calculated on the basis of the nttmber of incident reports submitted by staff tmder study. The other type is a self-reported rate of incidents, which will be elicited as staff responses to (a subjective measttre of) safety performance. Self-reported measures of incidents have often been said to have low reliability for the following reason healthcare providers are likely... [Pg.79]

Precontact control is proactive and directs the safety efforts toward focusing on these crucial areas before a loss occurs. Most safety programs are reactive and only institute controls after an accident has occurred. This is called postcontact control, (fire fighting, patch prevention), or treating the symptom and not the cause. Near miss incidents indicate the causes of system failure and, therefore, play a vital role as a critical element in a structured safety system (program). [Pg.133]

High potential near miss incidents indicate a failure of the safety management system and are warnings that under different circumstances a loss could be caused by a similar failure. Reducing the number of near miss incidents helps reduce the numerous high risk acts and conditions lying beneath the surface. Remedying near miss causes will lead to a reduction in injuries and help develop a positive safety culture. [Pg.165]

Current HSE fatality data indicates a UK rate of 10 (one fatality for every 10,000 actively employed construction workers per year). So actual fatalities due to construction activity do not appear to be unreasonable in relation to the HSE s tolerability limit. While zero fatality must always be the prime health and safety objective, the current level of fatalities taken alone, would not require that a special risk assessment be undertaken. Deaths arising from construction activity may not be at intolerable levels, but the position in regard to non-fatal accidents, both those causing major injuries and over-3-day injuries, is rather different. Current data here shows major incidents at an annual level of 10 (one major injury for every 1,000 actively employed construction workers per year). The data for over-3-day incidents indicates an annual level of 10 (one over-3-day injury for every 100 actively employed construction workers per year). [Pg.29]

Late reporting of incidents indicates a need for culture development. Incident reporting should be performed within the required time frames with no room for late reporting. When a team member mentions even the most minor of incidents, the supervisor must realize the potential for this report to change over time. The procedures for reporting such an incident must be adhered to. Even if there is no provision for formally reporting a minor incident, the supervisor should jot down the informal report in his or her planner and note the event for future reference. [Pg.236]

Such probabilistic considerations are mainly suitable for the assessment of the seismic performance of existing structures, particularly in the case of doubts about design or construction errors, occurrence of exceptional incidents, indications of expiration of the designed service life of the structure, and/or a planned change of its use (see RILEM2001) ... [Pg.2326]

Similarly, with regard to the regulations and regulators, the drastic changes that have occurred in the regulatory regime following the DWH incident indicate that what was present before, was not sufficient. [Pg.51]
