Plans and specifications

However, after becoming familiar with site hazards as best as one can, along with analytical data, the level of protection shonld be reexamined. This reexamination shonld be bnilt into the plan, and specific criteria for downgrading levels of protection or the type of protective eqnipment shonld be considered. Even a downgrade in the type of coveralls reqnired can make a large difference in worker heat stress load. The ability of tyvek to breathe (as opposed to saranex) is very desirable when considering worker comfort and heat load. These options, and when they become viable, shonld be anticipated beforehand and placed in the SSAHP. 

What all this means is that the laboratory operator must examine all plans and specifications with the greatest care and ask a multitude of questions, no matter how minor they may be or how stupid he feels they may sound. It has been said that the only stupid questions are the ones that are never asked. This would certainly apply here. 

Are raw process and waste materials stored in a safe and appropriate manner for example, are bulk acids in tanks bunded with secondary containment, are flammable materials in a fire-protected, ventilated store, are powders and pellets in areas fitted with dust extraction segregation of noncompatible materials Provide details of existing storage arrangements, inducing plans and specifications. Identify risk areas. Identify the risk category. 

Sanitary landfilling is an acceptable and recommended method for ultimately disposing of solid wastes. This method has sometimes been confused with waste disposal on open and burning dump sites, but this is a misconception. The sanitary landfill is an engineered landfill that requires sound and detailed planning and specification, careful construction, and efficient operation. In essence,... 

All final inspections and testing are performed in accordance with the [quality plan and specifications] to complete the evidence of product conformance to the specified requirements. 

The detailed-t eoff method can rarely if ever be used. When detailed drawings are available, costs may be estimated by pricing materials and components from suppliers catalogs or, for special items, from quotations. Handbooks are available which give typical values of the labor-hours required to perform units of installation work, such as installation of switches, starters, motors, conduit wiring, and push buttons of various sizes, for both hazardous and nonhaz-ardous areas. Labor rates can be obtained from various government statistical sources or elsewhere. For the United States the National Electrical Contractors Association publishes an excellent manual of electrical costs. From the complete plans and specifications, the estimator can take off materials, estimate the labor cost, apply appropriate factors for labor efficiency, productivity, and local conditions, and achieve good results. 

Formal plans and specifications are required to describe the extent of the current infrastructure and the plans for future improvements. This iirformation has two purposes (1) to provide a basis for... 

The creation of plans and specifications and the prediction of the financial outcome if the plans were implemented is the activity of chemical engineering design.

Without exception, the large suites of quantum chemistry programs have been written by research workers and enthusiasts in quantum chemistry and not by software developers. They have not been through the design, planning and specification routes which are now routine in software development. The interests of these researchers (who were and are their own systems analysts, specification... 

Preparation and implementation of plans and specifications for applying site remedies. The bnlk of the cleannp usnally occurs during this phase. All new fund-financed remedies are reviewed by the National Priorities Panel. 

Change order- A written document which modifies the plans and specifications and/or the price of the construction Contract. 

The GC assumes the entrepreneurial risk of completing the work in accordance with the plans and specifications for the lump sum amount agreed to in the contract. The owner s liability in theory is limited because he has a firm price to do the work. The key thing to remember here is that the contractor has given a lump sum price to perform the scope of work that is detailed in the bid documents he has not given a lump sum price to do whatever it takes. ... 

Since the owner does not communicate directly with the designer on a regular basis, his influence is diminished and his control of the details is lost. He also loses the advantages of having the architect act as an unbiased quality control auditor who inspects the work for compliance with plans and specifications. 

Eliminates contractor A performance bond is a guarantee by a surety to the owner that the contractor will complete the work in accordance with the plans and specifications. If the contractor defaults under the terms of the contract, the surety becomes responsible for the contractor s obligations and must complete the work in accordance with the terms of the contract. 

Since relatively few laboratories are built compared to the numbers of other types of buildings, comparatively few firms are really well prepared to design them for maximum safety, especially in terms of environmental air quality and laboratory hazards. For this reason, the eventual owners/users of a planned building should be sure to include persons to work with the architects and contractors. Where this expertise is not available in-house, they should not hesitateto hire appropriate consultants to review the plans and specifications prior to soliciting bids. 

The intent of the fire code as it apphes to the interior finish and to acceptable corrstruction practices is to prevent spread of a fire from one fire area to another, i.e., to make sure that the fire walls and other fire separation assembhes are constructed in such a way and of such materials as to maintain the fire resistance rating of the structure. When architects prepare the plans and specifications, they must include documentation for all required fire resistance ratings.

Pin down one specific objective you want to tackle first. You need to have both a STRATEGY (an overall game plan) and specific tactics (individual steps or actions you will take over the course of the campaign). 

Most ship design is performed by companies that produce only the plans and specifications for a ship. The would-be shipowner takes these documents to one or more shipyards and invites bids for the actual construction. Shipyards also employ naval architects and marine engineers who deal with design issues that arise during the construction of a ship. 

Testing, (i) Initial tests, inspections, and checks of the signal-generating system shall be made to verify that the fabrication and installation were made in accordance with design plans and specifications and to develop a thorough knowledge of the performance of the system and all components under normal and hostile conditions. 

Plans and specifications for the construction of barges and tanks must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard or the Canadian Coast Guard, or both, if the barge is to be operated on U.S. and Canadian waterways. The most common barge capacities are 600 tons (544 308 kg) configured with four tanks of 150-tons (136 077-kg) capacity each, and 1100 tons (997 898 kg) configured with four tanks of 275-tons (249 474-kg) capacity each. 

Examine plans and specifications for new machinery or equipment to determine if all safety requirements have been included.
