Other Regulations and Standards

It should be noted that other information is often required to comply with other regulations and standards beyond the scope of HAZCOM. 

A Yes, although our performance is one of the best in the industry, our failure to improve in the last few years is disappointing. However, this is only one of several reasons. We have seen the benefits of ISO 9000 and redesigned business processes in other parts of our business. It is now time to get these benefits into PSM and ESH. We believe that an ability to respond faster to new demands will provide a business advantage. We will be able to permit new facilities faster and respond to new regulations and standards more quickly and at lower cost than our competitors. 

According to Mary Schiavo, another member of Motley Rice and a former Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Railroads are entrusted with vast access and right-of-way in our communities and our nation, but they hold such rights only insofar as they comply with the regulations governing safe operations of both rail and hazardous materials transport. Norfolk Southern and others failed to comply with these laws, regulations, and standards, and failed to put in place known and recommended practices which absolutely would have prevented this deadly crash. ... 

Academia is not funded, overtly, to engage in research into the applied science of development. That has also never been conceptualized as an FDA role because FDA is viewed, by government and the public, as a regulatory agency. The fact that FDA has to use science to compose its regulations and standards, and that the science for that has to come from somewhere, has not been recognized. What about the private sector On the one hand, people thought, "Well, NIH does all this work," and on the other, people said, "Well, the private sector is supposed to take the basic science and develop it into products."... 

Toys and other Articles/Materials for Children s Use. Ultramarine pigments are widely used in plastics and surface coatings for toys, children s paints and finger paints, modeling compositions, colored paper, crayons, etc. They comply with major regulations and standards. 

To participate with government and others in creating responsible laws, regulations, and standards to safeguard the community, workplace, and environment ...

This chapter covers those existing DOE and other federal requirements that govern the acquisition of chemicals, and applies to all locations involved in the storage and/or use of chemicals and chemical products (see def). State and local requirements are not included. It consolidates direct health and safety-related acquisition requirements applicable to the procurement of chemicals and summarizes imphed requirements for the acquisition of chemicals and chemical products that are included in various regulations and standards but are not directly mandated by them. This chapter is divided into seven major sections. Each section of the chapter contains consolidated requirements for the procurement of a specific class or type of chemical or chemical product. 

Therefore, summing up the activities of Minatom in 1997, we had an ambivalent feeling. On one hand, the unbiased results which would suit us at any other time. However, two spontaneous chain reactions prompted us to draw the most important conclusion the problems of nuclear safety, the observance of regulations and standards should be the focus of attention, since the origin of all incidents was the infringement of general safety rules. 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) As part of its functions, FAA fosters aviation safety through several activities. It issues and enforces regulations and standards for the manufacture, use, and maintenance of aircraft. It certifies pilots, other flight personnel and airports, operates and maintains air navigation systems, manages air traffic, and conducts research in systems, procedures, facilities, and devices to ensure aviation safety. 

OSHA and other agencies require the surveying of potentially occupied areas to determine if they comply with regulations and standards for ionizing radiation. A survey may include background readings for radiation with followup readings at various times. A survey may also include analysis of operations and methods for each area of concern. 

The stresses obtained from the analyses—one example of this is demonstrated in Table 7.30—must be superimposed by the operational stresses of the component in question. Depending on the function and safety-related importance of the installation, other stress factors, like those resulting from accidents etc., can be superimposed as well. Stress assumptions are used to document the static stability and functionality of the technical installation. In general, this is achieved by the computation of stresses occurring in the supporting cross sections. For this purpose, simple methods are stated in the regulations and standards set up to the fields of construction and mechanical engineering.
