Recommendations development preventive action

To help you develop a list of actions, re-examine your list of determined root causes of the accident from Step 8. Usually, after the root cause(s) has been determined, recommendations for corrective and preventive actions follow in a rather straightforward manner. Developing an effective set of corrective and preventive actions starts with an evaluation of the identified root cause(s). 

The process of developing recommendations is summarized in Figure 10-1. Starting with the set of multiple causes determined previously in Chapter 9, each cause is evaluated individually to consider actions that would prevent (or satisfactorily mitigate) a recurrence. Ideally, each recommendation should cover just one item and spell out precisely what action is recommended. 

Urea—formaldehyde and melamine—formaldehyde reagents are resin formers, which not only cross-link cotton but also copolymerize with themselves. These have been used both as simple cross-linkers or prepolymer systems. If too much of the polymerization is concentrated on the fiber surface, the fabric may be sufficiendy stiffer that it takes on a boardy character. As such, the finisher must control the action of agent to give the desired crisp hand but prevent the development of boardiness. Melamines have been recommended for applications when complete shrink resistance is required. However, both finishes were rejected for the white-shirt market because of loss of strength when hypochlorite bleach is used on account of vulnerable NH groups and the ensuing discoloration (37). 

A major amendment was made to the Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law in April 2004 on the recommendations made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the Environmental Conservation Review - Further Expansion of the Regulation Scope for Conservation of Ecosystem in line with the Agenda 21 - Human Action Program for Sustainable Development of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). In order to conform to international harmonisation, the amended Chemical Substances Control Law has introduced a new examination and regulation system to prevent not only hazards to human health but also damages to animals and plants. 

The health assessment is a mechanism to respond to community health concerns associated with human exposure to hazardous substances at a site. It has three major purposes (1) evaluating the public health implications of the site (2) addressing those implications by developing health advisories or making recommendations, including further health or environmental studies and (3) identifying populations where actions are necessary to mitigate or prevent adverse health effects. 

GAD is responsive to pharmacotherapy with BZDs and early intervention is important because this may shorten the episode and prevent the development of complications. Patients rarely exhibit tolerance to the anxiolytic actions of BZDs [8]. The NIH Consensus Panel has recommended that doses be tapered down before discontinuing therapy to avoid physical withdrawal symptoms or a recurrence of anxiety. The most serious risk with BZDs is physical dependence. Other risks include sedation, fatigue, drowsi-... 

Streptomycin preparations generally contain 1.5% terramycin to prevent the development of resistance to streptomycin. Terramycin (oxytetracycline) belongs to the tetracyclic antibiotics, isolated by Finlay et al. (1950) from Streptomyces rimosus culture (2). It is an antibiotic with contact and systemic fungicidal action, and has been recommended alone for protection against Puccinia triticina and Xanthomonas pruni (Muller, 1969, Keil and Civerolo, 1979). 

Does complete performance analysis on complex medical or laboratory equipment summarizes results in brief, concise, and easy-to-understand terms for the purposes of recommending corrective action or for developing appropriate preventive maintenance and performance assurance protocols. 

Critical items List The purpose of the FMEA is to identify and evaluate failure modes and the possible system effects of those failures. Since the potential for undesirable effects must be eliminated or controlled, the FMEA also provides recommended actions that must be taken to accomplish this goal. As part of this analysis process, the FMEA identifies any and all items within the system that, if a failure were to occur, would have a critical effect on the operation of that system. Therefore, to facilitate evaluation and analysis of these system effects, a critical items list is developed. The list provides detailed descriptive information on each item. It will explain its overall function within the system, as well as the function of any components that may make up that item. The failure mode determined as critical is then listed along with the potential effect(s) of such a failure. If an item on the critical items list is to be accepted as is, then acceptance rationale must be provided. Such rationale may include an explanation of any existing or planned design limitations that will prevent the failure during actual system operations, or the provision of excessive factors of safety that will render such fail-ure(s) extremely improbable. Another area for evaluating acceptance is the history, or lack thereof, and any known failures of systems similar in nature and operation. 

Plastic pellets inadvertently lost from plastic production and warehouse facilities pose a threat to fish and wildlife. Therefore, the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has classified plastic pellets as significant materials. . The finding of even one pellet in a storm water run-off without a permit is now subject to federal regulatory action with the potential for substantial fines and penalties. As a result, the plastics industry has launched Operation Clean Sweep, an initiative to prevent the accidental release of pellets into the environment. Specific recommendations for handling polyolefins to prevent resin loss into the environment have been developed by the Society for the Plastics Industry (38). 

It is very important to define the scope of the job (NORSOK Z-013 may be referred to). If this activity is undertaken for a routine/nonroutine activity of the company project, the approach will be different if it is taken as FSA. Within this limited discussion we shall take a generalized approach. However, a more rigorous approach is recommended so that operator can understand the preventive and mitigating actions, and can take well-informed decisions. Also it should help in developing SMS.
