Organisational objectives

The collection of processes that govern the creation, dissemination, and utilisation of knowledge to fulfil organisational objectives. 

HAZOP is the acronym for HAZard and OPerability study. The method is a structured and systematic examination of a planned or existing product, process, procedure or system. It is a technique to identify risks to people, equipment, environment and/or organisational objectives. The technique was originally developed by ICI as a means of managing risk in industrial chanical plants. 

The findings of our survey demonstrate the conceptual model outUned in the previous section they show that safety climate can be understood in the context of job characteristics, which in turn are the product of organisational dynamics. For example, pharmacies that are considered to prioritise safety are the ones that ensure that pharmacy staff have srrfficient resources to cope with their demands. Hence, a key issue to consider with regard to safety culture improvement is the nature of job roles, tasks, technology and organisational objectives (see also Sujan... 

Job A series of inter-related manual activities that are performed to achieve organisational objectives. 

To allow objectivity of the findings, ElA s are usually carried out by independent specialists or organisations. It will involve not only scientific experts, but also require consultation with official and representative bodies such as the government ministries for the environment, fisheries, food, agriculture, and local water authorities. In activities which may impact on local population (terminals, refineries, access roads, land developments) local representatives of the inhabitants may be consulted, and the public affairs function... 

The examination is made on an object (i.e. the volume of the component on which NDI information is required), using a procedure and a data organisation (i.e. the definition of the structure of acquisition data). The procedure defines the equipment. The acquisition data is produced by the equipment and arranged according to the data organisation related to the equipment. 

A database (or data base) is a collection of data that is organised so that its contents can easily be accessed, managed, and modified by a computer. The most prevalent type of database is the relational database which organises the data in tables multiple relations can be mathematically defined between the rows and columns of each table to yield the desired information. An object-oriented database stores data in the form of obj ects which are organised in hierarchical classes that may inherit properties from classes higher in the tree structure. 

The CTD is organised into five modules. A schematic representation of the stmcture and hierarchy is shown in Figure 6.1. Module 1 is designed to contain region-specific information such as application forms and other administrative provisions that may apply. As such, it is not harmonised and is not considered part of the CTD. The other four modules present the technical data in a harmonised format. Module 2 should contain critical overview assessments of the quality, non-dinical and clinical data, together with summaries of the non-clinical and clinical data. The objective of this section is to provide reviewers with an introduction to the submission, and to orient... 

Plan Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with customer requirements and the organisation policies. 

It is now well-established that for atomic fluids, far from the critical point, the atomic organisation is dictated by the repulsive forces while the longer range attractive forces serve to maintain the high density [34]. The investigation of systems of hard spheres can therefore be used as simple models for atomic systems they also serve as a basis for a thermodynamic perturbation analysis to introduce the attractive forces in a van der Waals-like approach [35]. In consequence it is to be expected that the anisotropic repulsive forces would be responsible for the structure of liquid crystal phases and numerous simulation studies of hard objects have been undertaken to explore this possibility [36]. 

Europe has a comparable institution, the European Exo/Astrobiology Network Association (EANA), which brings together national research activities, so that the coordination with other organisations (particularly in the USA) is more effective. The organisation has various specific objectives, including the following ... 

Define for each object a set of responsibilities, and list them in the action section of that type. In particular, list and document the responsibilities of the system within the context of the larger organisation (or larger system) treat the system as part of the design of the larger context. 

As a result of the adoption of the above directives legislation is now in place to ensure that there is confidence not only in national laboratories but also those of the other Member States. As one of the objectives of the EU is to promote the concept of mutual recognition, this is being achieved in the laboratory area by the adoption of the AMFC directive. The effect of the AMFC Directive is that organisations must consider the following aspects within the laboratory its organisation, how well it actually carries out analyses, and the methods of analysis used in the laboratory. All these aspects are inter-related, but in simple terms may be thought of as ... 

In regard to objective (b), one of the major tasks of the sub-group has been to compile an inventory of organisations and scientists in Europe who are actively involved in research on the measurement and/or control of environmental odours. Additionally, the sub-group is preparing a bibliography of European reports and papers on odour...
