Movement of people and vehicles

The candidate tollers security policy should emphasize the importance of protecting people, property and the operational practices against loss by intentional destruction or theft. During the site visit, check to see if appropriate methods are taken to control entiy and movement of people and vehicles as a security measure. One telltale sign is that you may be denied access to an area because of another company s confidential process. Though an interference, it affirms a sound security practice. Determine whether security inspections are being held during off-duty hours.

Intertidal life forms are particularly vulnerable to oil since they consist primarily of plants and animals that move slowly or not at all. It takes from months to years for an oiled intertidal zone to recolonize. Intertidal life may also be damaged by cleanup efforts, particularly by the movement of people and vehicles and by cleaning water that is either too hot or under high pressure. A cleanup method should minimize environmental effects, not simply remove the oil at all costs. Oil should only be removed to prevent it from being re-floated and oiling other shorelines. Oil stranded in the intertidal zone may cause less harm if left than if removed. If the biota is already dead, however, oil is sometimes removed so that the area can recolonize. 

As ITS evolves from pure research, limited prototyping, and pilot projects into routine usage, decision makers at the corporate, state, regional, and local levels seek reliable information about the contribution that ITS products can make toward meeting the demand for safe and efficient movement of people and goods. Literature indicates that substantial benefits have already been realized in areas such as accident reduction, travel-time savings, customer service, roadway capacity, emission reduction, fuel consumption, and vehicle stops. Greater benefits are predicted with more extensive...

GIS combines GPS data with the geographic surface features of the planet to provide an accurate hving map of the world. These two systems have revolutionized how people plan and coordinate their movements and the movement of materials all over the world. Applications range from the relatively simple GPS devices found in many modem vehicles to precise tracking of weather systems and seismic activity. An application that is familiar to many through the Internet is GoogleEarth, which presents a satellite view of essentially any place on the planet at a level of detail that once was available from only the most top secret of mihtary reconnaissance satelhtes. The system also allows a user to view traditional... 

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the need to plan for safe moving traffic on sites. The basic principle is to keep the movements of vehicles and people physically apart — this may require barriers and designated routes on site. Also, pedestrian crossing points will have to be established, with adequate lighting. So plan for safe access to and around the site. How will vehicles be kept clear of pedestrians, especially at site entrances and exits, loading and unloading areas and anywhere where the drivers vision may be restricted ... 

Preliminary research has shown that Brillouin fiber-optic sensing systems provide a possible method to detect leaks and third-party intrusion on a pipeline over distances of 25 km or more. Their intrinsic response to both temperature and mechanical strain allows for the separation of these parameters and the detection of anomalies in the scan profiles. In addition, the same sensor could be integrated into the pipeline system to detect possible ground movement relative to fixed reference points. Limited test results on surface loads associated with the intrusion of vehicles and people on a pipeline have demonstrated the sensitivity of the system and its ability to discriminate loads at different soil depths. 

Occupational safety, sometimes referred to as personal or hard hat or trips and falls safety, is concerned primarily with the behavior and performance of individuals, operating either alone or in small groups. The discipline covers items such as vessel entry, tripping hazards, vehicle movement, the use of protective clothing, and lock-out/tag-out systems. It is what most members of the public think of when they hear the word safety. Occupational safety incidents occiu quite frequently (which is why it is possible build highly credible trend lines such as those shown in Figures 1.1 and 1.4), but their impact is generally limited to just a few people.
