Physical safety

Physical Safety. Preventive conservation also involves ensuring the physical safety of objects (176). Objects should be guarded against acts of vandaHsm or damage inflicted by touching them. In many museums, greasy spots on sculpture can be seen, a result of repeated contact with bare hands. [Pg.429]

Until 1961, all volunteer testing took place on this ward in the annex. Psychology technicians assisted the physicians. By 1962, registered nurses were hired and an adjacent ward housed volunteers undergoing testing with incapacitating agents such as BZ and LSD. Later, padded areas provided much better physical safety. [Pg.21]

Exemption 7 protects records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes when disclosure (a) could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (b) would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication, (c) could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (d) could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source, (e) would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law, or (f) could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of an individual. [Pg.411]

Basic survival, personal safety, and the physical safety of loved ones. [Pg.90]

Providing phone numbers for the client and family is an intervention that the nurse could implement, but it is not priority over the psychological and physical safety of the client. [Pg.307]

Ensuring the psychological and physical safety of the client is priority. As antidepressant medications become more effective, the client is at a higher risk for suicide. Therefore, the nurse should ensure that the client cannot take an overdose of medication. [Pg.307]

A CAST accident analysis examines the controls to determine which ones did not work adequately and why. While there was a reasonable amount of physical safety controls provided at Citichem, much of this equipment was inadequate or not operational—a common finding after chemical plant accidents. [Pg.359]

As in other component interaction accidents, there were no physical failures involved. It as in figure C.2, we draw the boundary of the physical system around the wells, the public water system, and public health, then one can describe the cause of the accident at the physical system level as the inability of the physical design to enforce the physical safety constraint in the face of an environmental disturbance, in this case the unusually heavy rains that resulted in the transport of contaminants from the fields to the water supply. The safety constraint being enforced at this level is that water must be free from unacceptable levels of contaminants. [Pg.499]

Engineering and technology projects reduce operating risks by upgrading the physical safety systems of nuclear power plants. An example of a key accomplishment in this area is a system that displays key safety parameters of the plant in real-time on a console for the plant operators (shown in Fig. 3). [Pg.35]

Employers should not look to training as the primary method for preventing workplace incidents that result in death, injury, illness, property damage or other down grading incidents. They should see if engineering revisions can eliminate the physical safety and health hazards entirely [p. 6]. [Pg.77]

In recent years, there has been increasing emphasis placed on the health effects of chemical exposures. However, as has been frequently noted, health effects are much more difficult to quantitatively characterize than most physical safety parameters. It is straightforward to define with reasonable accuracy a number of physical hazards, such as the upper and lower explosive limits of the vapors of a flammable material. However, the exposure levels (see Figure 4.16, taken from the Federal Register Vol. 53, No. 109, June 7, 1988, p. 21342) which will cause a given physiological effect in humans are not nearly as precise, especially if the effect of interest is delayed or is due to prolonged exposure to low levels of a toxic material. [Pg.362]

From the societal viewpoint the critical infrastructure there are mutually interconnected networks and systems that include the identified sectors and institutions (including humans and procedures) that provide the reliable flow of products and services substantive for defence and economic safety, that is understood as the state capability to compete on global markets while there are on acceptable level the real public incomes and the public administration functions on each society levels (Moteff et al. 2003). It means that the critical infrastructure is a set of partial infrastructures from different sectors of a human system (see e.g. act No. 183/2006 Col.), that are composed of physical elements and of processes that used these elements for fulfilment of the tasks of each partial infrastructure. A functionality of this set of partial infrastructures predetermines the human system safety (Prochazkova 2007a). It is caused by a fact that to economic safety there are joined the other ones (Moteff et al. 2003), the physical safety that is connected with risks caused from disasters of all kinds and the cyber safety that is connected with the disasters affecting the computer networks. Individual items o f each infrastructure according to this work are subdivided to elements and typical processes as there are the distribution, storage, payments, recycling, data transfer, transport etc. [Pg.1775]

The avoidance of unnecessary risks, and maintaining good health practices. Also includes freedom from substance abnse and other addictions healthy, safe, relational sexual behaviors and an absence of any kind of violence—physical, emotional, sexual, or verbal—including suicidality and self-destructive behavior.

Sometimes respondents thought physical safety would make the company more inclusive. At Big Store, one employee wanted a safer area around (outside) the store while another thought Big Store] should include safety shoes as part of the uniform for employees who move any type of equipment around the warehouses. At Big School, physical safety was also on students minds ... [Pg.77]
