The EUROCONTROL team comprises a facilitator, recorder and operational specialist. The facilitator and recorder are Human Factors and/or Safety specialists, while the operational specialist is a current or former air traffic controller (from a different ANSP or EUROCONTROL). Each workshop lasts 2-3 hours. Staff and managers engage with separate workshops to reduce power-distance effects. A typical set of workshops would comprise the following ...

Tables 27-1 to 27-3 have concentrated on the personnel makeup of control agencies. For a broader look at places of employment. Table 27-4 shows where 8037 members of the Air Pollution Control Association (APCA) of the United States and Canada worked in 1982. (This list includes foreign as well as domestic members of APCA but does not include the membership of the air pollution control associations of other countries.) This table shows that only 10.7% of the members work in control agencies. This table gives a somewhat distorted picture because in many air pollution organizations only the senior executive, professional, and scientific personnel belong to APCA, whereas the total North American workforce in air pollution includes several times the 8037 membership total who are in junior, technical, service, or manual sectors and are not association members. These numbers could be still greater if those engaged in this work outside North America were included. The Air Pollution Control Association changed its name to the Air and Waste Management Association in 1988. The Air and Waste Management Association had a membership of over 14,000 in 1993, but only a portion of the members were active in the air pollution profession.

The best way to ensure that your plan for PSM design, development, and installation will mesh with local culture is to rely heavily on local management in formulating your initial plan. In some situations, the best approach may prove to be direct importation of PSM systems developed elsewhere, while in other situations you may serve as a resource to a local team that engages in its own design process. 

The team should be realistic about the time required to see improvements in end-of-pipe measures in most cases the pilot project success will be measured on efficiency improvements and other in-process measures alone. In this case it is important to demonstrate that all PSM and ESH issues are being managed. You should consider having a management systems audit (validation) conducted by a group independent of the integration project team. This may be done in conjunction with the next scheduled audit. This may be a corporate or divisional audit function or a consultant engaged specifically for this task. 

Managers responsible for services within works, offices or premises have an additional task in that when engaging service contractors they then have joint responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974 for the health and safety of the contractor s employees while on their premises. When engaging contractors to carry out work within the premises, systems must be implemented by which the contractor s employee works in a safe manner and does not create a hazard to the premises occupants or staff while carrying out this work. This responsibility is greater when there is an employee or service contractor working alone, as in most instances the premises communications do not allow for such circumstances (e.g. the lone employee may be working in remote areas such as plant rooms). 

Do managers allow time for their employees to engage in training and development activities or are other tasks always more important ... 

You might remember that this latter approach was adopted by David Megginson and Paul Stokes of Sheffield Hallam University (see Case study 3.1). All of their mentors were seasoned managing directors who had mentored throughout their careers and did not perceive it as appropriate to engage in formal skills training. They were, however, happy to discuss their skills and share experiences. 

Precious Metals Recovery Metal recovery units engaged in precious metals recovery are also conditionally exempt from Part 266, Subpart H. Precious metal recovery is defined as the reclamation of economically significant amounts of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, or any combination of these metals. Provided the owner/operator complies with the alternative requirements, the unit would be exempt from all BIF requirements except for the regulations concerning the management of residues.
