Project emergency procedures

The population in and immediately adjacent to TA-V is somewhat fluid over time, rises during construction or other short-term projects, and changes dramatically between business and non-business hours. In January 1999, 204 occupants were assigned to the buildings in and near TA-V (Table 1.3-1). The temporary work force rarely exceeds 40 persons. All personnel are required to receive a briefing on emergency procedures before being allowed unescorted access into TA-V. 

Have all personnel received a safety and emergency procedures brief Has a project health and safety plan been prepared and implemented Have emergency contingency plans been put in place and posted Have alarm systems been functionally tested ... 

The risks associated with new projects may include use of hazardous substances insufficient product data faulty electrical equipment poor access/egress poor ergonomics noisy equipment poorly guarded machinery imported equipment/materials lack of risk assessment lack of training/awareness on behalf of management, supervision and employees poor environmental control inadequate emergency procedures inadequate maintenance considerations poor construction methods little or no consideration of waste disposal/demolition. 

The two new standards approved are the ANSi/ASSE A10.1 -2011 Pre-Project and Pre-Task Safety and Heaith Pianning for Construction and Demoiition Operations and the ANSi/ ASSE A10.26-2011 Emergency Procedures for Construction and Demoiition Sites.

The PSA project performed for Sizewell B NPP is one of the most comprehensive PSA projects undertaken. The whole PSA study encompass Level 1, 2 3 analysis, internal and external initiators, and all power states. The results and findings from this study served as a basis for the development of Technical Specifications for shutdown state as well as some more specific operating and emergency procedures. Some hardware improvements, including alternate relief paths, and instrumentation were also introduced as a result of the PSA model for shutdown and low power. 

The TCP approach is relatively simple and can be easily applied to studies involving comparisons of different equipments, different processes, or even parts of processes. CCP has now emerged as the most realistic approach that can be employed in economic project analyses. It is the recommended procedure for pollution-prevention studies. The LCC approach is usually applied to the life-cycle analysis (LCA) of a product or seiwice. It has found occasional application in projec t analysis.

Emergency response personnel If the QRA involves consequence estimation, the team will probably need data on the emergency response procedures and capabilities. For example, how quickly could the neighborhood be evacuated, what fraction of the release would be neutralized, and can firefighters extinguish a blaze in that location Expect to commit a few staff-days of effort over the life of the project. 

It is important that the laboratory record reflect the exact stage of each procedure as it is carried out. This is essential when the experimentalist carries out several preparations simultaneously. It is even more important as a means of communication between chemists working on various phases of a single project. After interruptions or emergencies, the record helps in determining how to proceed with the work. The notes should help in detecting causes of unusual observations, as well as causes of accidents or fires. In other words, there are important safety considerations. It cannot be emphasized enough that detailed and accurate notes are essential for patent applications and patent priority claims. 

All potential points of leaks and other hot spots have to be identified in the stage of design. The decontamination procedures in case of accident have to be elaborated. The specification of the equipment for eventual decontamination and the means of decontamination are defined in laboratory instructions and manuals. All necessary safeguards and security systems are the elements of the project design. In case of emergency all means limiting the decontamination spreading out have to be used.

In addition to creating such an incentive structure for the biotech industry, the Project Bioshield Act of 2004 also allows for expedited peer review procedures for research and development of bioterrorism countermeasures and allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services together with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to permit the distribution of pharmaceuticals and other products for emergency use prior to FDA approval for general use.
