Standard monitoring

Management must institute procedures to assess levels of compliance with agreed standards for safety. Techniques include environmental and/or biological monitoring, health surveillance, safety audits, safety inspections, and procedures for accident reporting, investigation and analysis. Communication is essential, e.g. by provision of information (on specific chemicals, processes, etc.), safety meetings, notices, safety bulletins etc. 

Education, training and supervision are essential for the safe handling of chemicals. Training requirements vary according to position within the organization, and hence responsibility. 

Topics should embrace a knowledge of the hazards and precautions, including the use and maintenance of protective devices including personal protection, under both normal and abnormal operating conditions including emergencies. 

Aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons will attack all types of natural and synthetic gloves. Should swelling occur, switch to another pair, allowing the swollen gloves to dry and return to normal.

An amperometric urate sensor based on uricase-immobilized silk fibroin membrane was developed by Zhang [256], The biosensor can be used to measure the urate level in human serum or urine and standard additions of uric acid. F or this biosensor, the recoveries of uric acid in human serum and urine are in the range of 94.2 102.6% to 92.5 97.9%, respectively. The relative standard deviations for repeatedly monitoring standard urate solution, human serum, and urine are 2.37, 3.72, and 2.95%, respectively, based on 100 measurements.

Monitoring Carefully monitor standard hypercalcemia-related metabolic parameters, such as serum levels of calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and potassium following pamidronate and zoledronic acid initiation. Also, closely monitor electrolytes, creatinine as well as CBC, differential and hematocrit/hemoglobin. Carefully monitor patients who have preexisting anemia, leukopenia or thrombocytopenia in the first 2 weeks following treatment.

Most cases of unintentional thiazide overdoses can be managed safely at home as serious effects are not expected. Thiazides and related agents are adsorbed by activated charcoal and it may be used for substantial recent exposures. Because cathartics can also cause fluid and electrolyte losses, their use should be avoided. Fluid status, electrolytes, and EKG should be monitored. Standard supportive therapies with attention to replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses should be utilized as clinically necessary. No antidote is available. Drug levels are not readily available and are not helpful in assessing toxicity.

The above discussion is of course posited on the assumption that the fact that one has more centres in a trial does not adversely affect the average quality of the centres. If it is possible to identify a centre which is better in terms of quality of work than all others, or if monitoring standards suffer as one includes more centres, then it is possible that a single-centre trial could be at an advantage. 

Fig. 3. Quantitation of lipid damage. Borrelia burgdorferi strain B31A3 was grown to a cell density of 5 x 10 cells/mL in BSK II under anaerobic, microaerophilic, or aerobic conditions (A, B and C, respectively) at 34 °C for 3-5 days. Cells were harvested, lysed, and reacted with TBA. The resulting thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TEARS) are then injected onto a CIS HPLC column and the absorbance at 532 nm monitored. Standards made from pure MDA were used as controls. The data is calculated as microliters MDA per 10 cells.

If the species are known, the first step is to identify suitable mass peaks to monitor. Standard tabulations of mass spectra are readily available. For example, consider the analysis of breathable air. The main species of interest are nitrogen, oxygen, argon,...
