Protection principles, philosophy

Due to the destructive nature of hydrocarbon forces when handled incorrectly, fire and explosion protection principles should be the prime feature in the risk philosophy of any hydrocarbon facility. Vapor cloud explosions in particular are consider the highest risk at a hydrocarbon facility. Disregarding the importance of protection features or systems will eventually prove to be costly both in economic and human terms should a catastrophic incident occur without adequate safeguards. 

The present publication reflects the need, often expressed by Member States, for internationally harmonized criteria for the safe underground disposal of high level radioactive wastes. It sets out a basic safety philosophy for use in planning such disposals, the main objective of which is the isolation of the radioactive wastes from the human environment for considerable periods of time. The basic requirements for the protection of humans arise directly from radiation protection principles extended so as to deal with events and processes that can occur in a deep underground repository in the far future. Technical criteria regarding the waste, the repository and its environs are also specified as a basis for assuring compliance with the safety principles. 

Many different approaches have been developed for peptide synthesis, and it is not the intention to cover more than the basic principles here, with a suitable example. The philosophy to convert two amino acids into a dipeptide is to transform each difunctional amino acid into a monofunctional compound, one of which has the amino group protected, whilst the other has the carboxyl group protected. This allows... 

The European safety standards stress an important principle called the singlefault concept that is at the core of safety philosophy. This principle states that even under a single fault (a wire coming loose, component failure, short/open circuit, insulation failure, etc.) at least one level of protection (basic insulation) must be... 

The Nuclear Safety Design Criteria for Fire Protection require the effective implementation of a fundamental fire protection philosophy known as "defense-in-depth". As applied to fire safety, this principle requires each faci I ity to achieve an adequate balance of each of the following elements ... 

The responsibility to execute risk analyses in the woikplace and pass the results on to employees results from the Directive 89/391/EC on executing measures to improve occupational health and safety, in article II, section 6, paragraph 2,3 and article II, section 10, paragraph 1, respectively. This regulation changed prior approaches and procedures in many fields, as well as the philosophy of job protection. One of the principles of the new OHS policy is the responsibility to assess risks. 

Masonry Heritage Structures (MHS) have inherent weakness in carrying horizontal loads, and their preservation and protection in seismic areas require retrofitting and strengthening interventions. However, principles of philosophy of conservation about compatibility and keeping authenticity should be followed in parallel to safety and durability issues valid in any type of construction inhabited, according to...
