Organisational responses

These scientists and engineers represent a special challenge to leadership in that the values and motivations may at times be at odds with corporate cultures that emphasise seniority, authority based on hierarchical influence, allegiance to corporate direction, a strict proprietary view of the results of science and technology, and expectations of instantaneous organisational response to changes in direction.

This guidance is split into three parts. It contains a statement of general policy based on your legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Then you can record your organisational responsibilities and your arrangements to ensure the health and safety of your employees. Notes are included alongside each section to help you. Some useful publications are listed in the notes and at the end of this guidance.

This Handbook aims to explain terminology widely used, and sometimes misused, in analytical chemistry. It provides much more information than the definition of each term but it does not explain how to make measurements. Additionally, it does not attempt to provide comprehensive coverage of all terms concerned with chemistry, instrumentation or analytical science. The authors have addressed primarily those terms associated with the quality assurance, validation and reliability of analytical measurements. The Handbook attempts to place each term in context and put over concepts in a way which is useful to analysts in the laboratory, to students and their teachers, and to authors of scientific papers or books. This approach is particularly important because official definitions produced by many international committees and organisations responsible for developing standards are frequently confusing. In a few cases the wording of these definitions completely obscures their meaning from anyone not already familiar with the terms. 

The necessary steps are evolved in 10 separate, but inter-linked Work Packages realised by 16 partners and 6 subcontractors2. They represent leading NWP centres, research institutions, organisations responsible for UAP, PE forecast and control, and local/city authorities from 10 European countries. 

DWP is the key organisation responsible for the benefit system and activation policies and is one of the few departments that still preside over England, Scotland and Wales. Ministers are supported by senior civil servants in the Working Age Directorate which is responsible for activation policy advice, evaluation and steering . Programmes, services and benefits for working age people are delivered through JCP. 

The philosophy adopted by the organisation responsible for the installation. The approach may be driven by considerations of public relations. 

The output of the EFC takes various forms. Papers on particular topics, for example, reviews or results of experimental work, may be published in scientific and technical journals in one or more countries in Europe. Conference proceedings are often published by the organisation responsible for the conference.

All the Assumptions on which the Safety Case depends, including the high-level Assumptions mentioned above, should be presented directly, and/or by reference. Assumptions usually relate to matters outside of the direct control of the organisation responsible for the Safety Case but which are essential to the completeness and/or correctness of the Safety Case. Each Assumption must be shown to be valid or at least reasonable according to the... 

An organisation responsible for managing safety risk has to determine whether risk is already as low as reasonably practicable conversely, it has to determine whether potential risk reductions are reasonably practicable to implement. This decision can be made in different ways to match different circumstances. For example, compliance with an accepted code of practice is sometimes regarded as a good indicator of risk being ALARP or it may be that professional judgement is the best means of making a decision. 

A previous chapter used an example of Joe falling from a stepladder (see Figure 2.6.12). lliat analysis was undertaken using the Incident Model and it was discussed in terms of the organisational responsibilities for health and safety.

At a different National level there are many close working relationships between EWICS TC7 members and the organisations responsible for industrial safety such as the UK Health and Safety Executive and the Federal Republic of Germany TUV s. 

Because schools with large numbers of children described as having special educational needs are not necessarily inclusive schools, it is important to supplement any quantitative analysis with qualitative measines in order to explore the stories behind the numbers, as we do in the next section of this book. This is also necessary because the designation of special educational need in England is based in part on the organisational response put in place to meet students identified needs and thus can confound any quantification of special educational needs that is used in the national database. 

An important aim of introducing an accident model is to establish a shared understanding within the organisation of how and why accidents happen. It is especially important that those parts of the organisation responsible for the collection of information on accident risks and those responsible for using the information in decision-making use a similar frame of reference. Accident models will thus have direct influence on SHE practice, both consciously and unconsciously. A concern is whether the different users of the SHE information system actually interpret and internalise the models in a similar way and in accordance with the intentions of the systems designer. 

Industrial plants are often very complex and consist of many different machines and assemblies of machines. The limits of each machine or assembly of machines have to be clearly defined at an early stage in order to define the responsibility for the Declaration of Conformity clearly in the purchase order. It usually lies with the machine manufacturer. This principle also applies when the machine is connected to the plant s process-control system. It happens, however, that the organisation responsible for overall design and procurement (the project or the main contractor) assembles different machines into an integral whole. In this case, the project or main contractor is responsible.
