Potentially unsafe

The method is potentially unsafe if early disengagement (i.e.. before the pressure would otherwise have turned over during two-phase venting) occurs. [Pg.975]

Potentially unsafe practices likely to be implemented in carrying out the work ... [Pg.1066]

For this method, the first derivative of the temperature has to be determined from process measurements with amplified noise filtered out. Since the "safe" temperature need not be specified, the independence and selectivity of this method is greater than with the temperature criterion alone. Another advantage is that a potentially unsafe condition can be identified in its early development stage. However, a number of frequently used, but low hazard thermal processes are characterized by fairly high heating rates, making the use of the first derivative ineffective. [Pg.165]

Or will it While the public has generally accepted the application of GE for the production of new medicines, some consumers indicate grave unease over the consumption and production of GE food, viewing it as unnatural, potentially unsafe to eat and environmentally disruptive. Of these skeptics, the organic farming community has been particularly vocal in its criticism (box P.2). Some consumers believe that because organic farmers have learned how to produce healthy nutritious food, GE plants are not needed. [Pg.219]

Leaders should promote a culture to encourage staff to question unclear or potentially unsafe verbal orders. [Pg.268]

The methods use drift-flux level-swell calculation models to take account of more vapor being in the inlet stream to relief device than the average for the vessel. The method is potentially unsafe if early disengagement (before the pressure would otherwise have turned over during two-phase venting) occurs. [Pg.377]

A wide range of chemicals have been tested for the ability to degrade and inactivate aflatoxins. However, although a number of these chemicals can react to destroy aflatoxins effectively, most are impractical, too expensive or potentially unsafe because of the formation of toxic residues, or the perturbation of the nutrient content of the food. Two chemical approaches that have received considerable attenhon are ammoniation and reaction with sodium bisulphite. [Pg.16]

Simethicone, a surfactant that may decrease foaming and hence esophageal reflux, is included in many antacid preparations. However, other fixed combinations that are marketed for acid indigestion , particularly those with aspirin, are potentially unsafe in patients predisposed to gastroduodenal ulcers and should not be used. [Pg.627]

A false positive has a more direct economical impact on the manufacturer. A false positive due to a specific reaction may result in significant losses because manufactured products, potentially unsafe for allergic persons, are hardly released to the market. Similarly, false positives by nonspecific reactions may lead to economical loses due to unnecessary recalls, or additional tedious procedures to ensure product safety. To verify doubtful positive results, immunoblotting assay can be utilized as a confirmatory test. [Pg.323]

Lactation — Excess sedation and poor suckling occur in infants whose mothers are receiving treatment with PRM probably due to the accumulation of PB. Lactation is potentially unsafe. The risk/benefit of breastfeeding needs to be discussed with the mother. ... [Pg.254]

Errors associated with the design/operation of the haulage route (10 errors), e.g., continued use despite potentially unsafe track... [Pg.1150]

Static code analysis tools - software which examines the code in detail and will identify poor programming practices and potentially unsafe commands and procedures (for example the use of pointers or recursive functions). [Pg.234]

The problem in pharmaceutical safety is different there is risk in prescribing a potentially unsafe drug, but there is also risk in not prescribing the drug (the patient dies from their medical condition) a risk/risk situation. The risks and benefits conflict in ways that greatly increase the complexity of decision making and the information needed to make decisions. New, more powerful system engineering techniques are required to deal with risk/risk decisions. [Pg.203]

The specific potentially unsafe control actions by those in the ITA safety control structure that could lead to these general risks are the ITA programmatic risks. Once identified, they must be eliminated or controlled just like any unsafe control actions. [Pg.236]

The chief engineer responsibility to approve all variances and waivers to technical requirements is assigned to the System Technical Warrant Holder (STWH). The risks or potentially unsafe control actions of the STWH with respect to this responsibility are ... [Pg.237]

The general design goal should be to enhance the ability of the human controller to act safely while making it more difficult to behave unsafely. Initiating a potentially unsafe process change, such as a spacecraft launch, should require multiple keystrokes or actions while stopping a launch should require only one. [Pg.285]

The risk associated with attempts at production records is that management may be tempted to let equipment run in a potentially unsafe mode in order to avoid a shutdown to conduct maintenance. For example, a pump rotor may become imbalanced, leading to mild vibration of the pump itself. Rather than shutting down the affected section of the facility to repair the pump, management may decide to keep the pump running, thus creating the possibihty of a seal leak and a release of large amounts of toxic or flammable materials. [Pg.145]

Safe Work Observations—looking at selected work practices on a regular basis and providing feedback on the safe and potentially unsafe acts observed. [Pg.151]

Batch STR used for polymerization and, to a lesser extent, nitration, sulfonation, hydrolysis, neutralization and, to a much lesser extent, dehydrogenation, oxidation and esterification can pose potentially unsafe operation. Key indicators of such potential hazards include Sudden increase in pressure , Unexplained increase in temperature , Failure of the mixer , Power failure , and Loss of cooling water . For any of these conditions our first question should be emergency shut down Our knowledge of the MSDS information for the species and their interaction with each other and with the environment is critical. [Pg.258]
