For the purposes of understanding this concept and formula, there s nothing mathematically significant about the square root of the flow, or the NPSHr to 1 power. These mathematical manipulations simply give us Nss values that are e. y understood and recognizable. For example, the health inspector might j. . a restaurant s cleanliness on a scale from 1 to 100. We might ask you to rate this Lc on a scale from 1 to 10. Those are easy numbers to deal with. How would yc- this book on a scale from 2,369 to 26,426,851 This doesn t make sense. Likewi , the mathematical manipulations in the Nss formula serve simply to convert weird v . into a scale from 1,000 to 20,000 that cover most impellers and pumps. Values at...

A plant engineer may become involved with an inspector from the HSE when he arrives on site to carry out an inspection of the works under powers given to the Executive by Section 20 of the Act. The HSE will visit at any reasonable time, or at any time where the situation may be dangerous in the inspector s opinion. He may take with him a police officer if he has reasonable cause to apprehend any serious obstruction in the execution of his duty. 

Having carried out an inspection of the works, the inspector has powers under Section 21 to serve an improvement notice if, in his opinion, a person is contravening one or more of the relevant statutory provisions, or has contravened one or more of those provisions in circumstances that make it likely that the contravention will continue or be repeated. The person concerned then has a duty to remedy the contravention or as the case may be, the matters occasioning it within such a period as may be specified in the notice. 

An HSE inspector has the power under Section 25 to enter any premises where he has reasonable cause to believe that, in the circumstances, any article or substance is a cause of imminent danger of serious personal injury. He may then seize the article or substance and cause it to be rendered harmless, whether by destruction or otherwise.

Authorized or regulatory inspectors, who operate within a specific jurisdiction and have legal or similar powers to prohibit the use of the equipment or direct repairs where deemed necessary. 

It is a truism, of course, that inspection and inspectors are not popular on the part of those being inspected. Nevertheless, by objective standards, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the financial costs and other burdens of safeguards, for complying nations, are at most quite modest. If the nuclear power produced by the some 200 reactors under safeguards is valued at 4 cents per kilowatt hour, its total value would be ofthe order of 50 billion annually. Agency safeguards costs of some 100 million annually would represent about 0.2% ofthis value, virtually within the noise level. Intrusiveness is a subjective... 

Health and Safety Inspectors (including Explosives Inspectors) are appointed by the HSE to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory provisions. The inspectors have very wide ranging powers, and this is another factor that contributes to fireworks safety.

The Agency evidently did not know that DNsoPMT ts 3. high explosive, just slightly less powerful than TNT. Fortunately no accident occurred and all 50 tons of material Were recalled after some Inspectors of the US State Department learned about the dangerous properties of DNsoFMT (Kef 9)... 

One common method used by management in order to limit, direct and control the discretionary power and autonomy of street-level bureaucrats is work by contract (Lipsky 1980). When this method is used, employees must complete a certain specified number of matters within a specific time. A counter-strategy among street-level bureaucrats when subjected to this kind of method is to shift their focus from complicated and time-consuming matters to matters that can be completed quickly and easily. Within both SWEA and SCI work by contract is practiced on an individual and a collective level - piecework is the phrase the interviewees use when referring to work by contract. Inspectors can, for example, receive one piece for an inspection or a requirement they make on an inspection object. One way to live up to the contract is to accomplish many easy and simplified inspections, especially if there is a risk that the stipulated measures will not be reached. By doing so, the inspectors can create more leeway for their discretion and autonomy. However, at the same time the risk that the policy outcomes will deviate from expected and politically decided on outcomes increases.
