Planning test sites

Team responsibilities Define PSM criteria and goals for Company X evaluate current PSM status develop a plan to build on what s in place and address gaps develop specific PSM systems select a test site and install a pilot system measure and monitor its progress refine systems as needed.

The study participants (volunteers) should arrive at the field laboratory well before the daily work activities are to commence. The study participants should be directed to sit near the dressing area on a seat covered with a fresh plastic bag or tarp. The volunteers are usually instructed not to move from their seats or wander off around the test site. Control of the movements of the study participant is crucial at this point since the worker could encounter contamination and acquire some extraneous exposure not planned for the study. 

The exam bulletin will tell you when and where your exam is being held. Do you know how to get to the testing site Do you know how long it will take you to get there If not, make a trial run, preferably on the same day of the week and at the same time of day. Make note, on the Final Preparations worksheet, of the amount of time it will take you to get to the exam site. Plan on arriving 10-15 minutes early so you can get the lay of the land, use the bathroom, and calm down. Then figure out how early you will have to get up that morning, and make sure you get up that early every day for a week before the exam. 

Give yourself plenty of time to get to the test site and avoid a last-minute rush. Plan to get to the test room ten to fifteen minutes early.

Some useful and pertinent information on atmospheric corrosion test site plans, hardware and other relevant information in the literature25 30 may be used in planning atmospheric corrosion testing program. 

The operation of the test as a quinary flood, the low oil saturation (average 14%) at the observation well before the test began, and the vertical distribution of that oil (virtually all in the lower two-thirds of the formation) made it very difficult for the test to recover oil. With the forced relocation of the test from its originally planned multiwell site, virtually all chance of success came to depend on flow past the single observation well and the ability to accurately measure solute concentrations in the aqueous phase at that well. 

Research has focused on Yucca Mountain, Nevada, at the western edge of the National Test Site, for its suitability as a nuclear waste repository for SNF and some defense waste. Many political leaders of Nevada strongly oppose this plan, and they seriously question that nuclear waste can be safely kept out of the human environment for 10,000 years, as is required under the federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act. 

The possibility of assigning study parts (or phases) to test sites different from the Study Director s test facility increases the flexibility in study planning and conduct, while at the same time it will be increasing transparency for the purpose of reconstructability. A differentiation has to be made, however, between full test facilities, where whole studies can be conducted from beginning to end, and test sites, where only parts of a study will be performed and where the GLP Principles have only to be complied with as far as its responsibilities in study conduct would require. In this differentiation GLP wants to achieve clarity in terms of the respective requirements for a test facility, where the full GLP Principles will apply, as opposed to those for a test site where not all of the GLP Principles might necessarily be applied. 

The test site is a 65 m long TBM-bored tunnel including six 1.75 m diameter deposition holes of m depth. The outer 25 m long part has two holes and it is separated from the inner 40 m section including 4 holes by means of a tight plug. Details of the work plan may be found in Dahlstrbm (1998), Svemar Pusch (2000) and Persson Broman (2000). 

NFPA 1620 provides extensive details on pre-incident planning that involves the evaluation of protection systems, building constraction, contents, and operating procedures that can impact emergency operations. Major topics include physical elements and site considerations, occupant considerations, protection systems and water supplies, special hazard considerations, emergency operations, and plan testing and maintenance.
