The regulation requires preparation of an activity hazard analysis (AHA) before beginning each phase of work. This analysis addresses the hazards for each activity performed in the upcoming phase. It presents procedures and safeguards necessary to eliminate the hazards or reduce the risks to acceptable levels. 

Container sampling procedures and safeguarding general drum and container handling procedures including special requirement for laboratory waste packs, shock-sensitive wastes, and radioactive wastes. 

The procedures and safeguards which have been successful In preventing the attainment of Inadvertent critical loasses with enriched fuel are based on the following criteria. 

The procedures and safeguards for the handling shipping and storage of NPR fuel are baaed on the criteria as stated. Assessment of the potential for Inadvertent criticality is first made for normal procedures, equipment and facilities, and then for potential procedure-break-... 

Stringent control measures may not be required in the following circumstance. However, it is critical that each situation be analyzed and the appropriate procedures and safeguards be put in place. 

The accident could have been prevented with better operating procedures and better training to make the operators appreciate the consequences of mistakes. Modern plants use interlocks or sequence controllers and other special safeguards to prevent this type of error.

Discontinuation trials, either controlled or open, usually are not likely to have any direct benefit and may well have real risks, such as relapse, suicide, and loss of employment. Such studies need additional scrutiny and safeguards to minimize risk and to strengthen consent procedures. There are some situations in which a discontinuation study may be considered. For example, to determine whether long-term treatment is needed, a study design might randomly assign patients who have responded successfully to a particular treatment to either a continuation or discontinuation of that treatment. Relapse rates across these two conditions could... 

Intellectual property rights are the most sensitive interface between a fine-chemical company and its customer. This is particularly the case if the latter is a pharmaceutical company. Most of the profits of the industry derive from drugs protected by patents. Any dissipation or misuse of IP, on either the product or the manufacturing process, can cause serious damage. The company, its board, executives, and employees may be held liable. It is, therefore, imperative that strict procedures for safeguarding the IP are put in place, such as the following ... 

Reproductive and developmental toxicity is less likely to be associated with exposures that minimize absorption of the agent. Exposures associated with an unknown risk of reproductive and developmental toxicity should be as brief and as infrequent as possible. The amount of an agent used should be minimized, and reasonable safety procedures and engineering safeguards should be used to limit the exposure. 

In all studies, informed consent should be sought from the subject or, where special situations occur, from his/her representative. The precise nature of this consent depends on the study design, procedure and the country where the study is being conducted (see Section 6.4.6.3). Increasingly, some clinical trials will involve study subjects that are mentally handicapped, children or subjects who, because of the medical condition (for example trauma or stroke), are unable to give proper consent. Under these circumstances, the lEC and the pharmaceutical physician need to provide a framework, with additional safeguards to the vulnerable subject. 

Ensure that the procedures for safeguarding health and safety are monitored. 

Failure to adequately control energy accounts for many serious accidents at construction sites. Lockout/tagout procedures help safeguard you and fellow employees from the unexpected start-up of machinery or equipment or release of hazardous energy while performing servicing or maintenance tasks. 

Laser Safety Discusses the basics of lasers and safety practices and procedures and other safeguards when using lasers in the laboratory. 

Abstract This chapter deals with the "nuclear safeguards verification system and describes procedures and measurement methods that allow the safeguards inspectorates/authorities to verify that nuclear materials or facilities are not used to further undeclared military activities. These procedures and methods provide the strong technical basis upon which the safeguards inspectorates/authorities issue their conclusions and receive the broadest international acceptance regarding the compliance of participating states with their obligations.
