Attributing the outmost importance to the safety factor was justified as regards nuclear and radiation hazardous objects all objects of the decommissioning and environmental rehabilitation pertained to that category. The safety criterion was also highlighted as the main factor for justification of priorities in the EBRD Terms of Reference for the SMP development. 

However with due regard for real budget funding of the entire program of complex decommissioning of NSs, MVs and environmental rehabilitation of former naval CMBs, optimal NS decommissioning paces determined by nuclear, radiation and environmental safety, are estimated today at 13-15 NSs per year at the most. 

Baffling complexity of solution of nuclear, radiation and environmental safety challenges at the TSF in question is further aggravated by poor condition of its infrastructure giving presently no way of performing radiation-hazardous operations on TSF rehabilitation. 

The perception of being handicapped. The Rehabilitation Act (29USC, Section 706) requires employers to continue employment of a substance abuser as long as the employee can perform the job function and is not a threat to safety or property. The healthcare professional may be reassigned temporarily until recovery is completed. 

NFPA 471, Chapter 6 requires site safety considerations including a personnel accountability system, provisions for rest and rehabilitation for responders, the elimination of all ignition sources, and the application of control zones.

Modified vans and cars enable persons with disabilities to independently drive a vehicle. Wheelchair tie-downs and occupant restraints in personal vehicles and in public transportation vehicles are allowing people to be safely transported to their chosen destination. Fortunately, voluntary performance standards for restraint and tie-down technologies have been developed by a task group within the Society for Automotive Engineers (SAE). Standards for car hand controls, van body modifications, and wheelchair lifts are also available from SAE. These standards provide the rehabilitation engineer with a set of took that can be used to confirm safety compliance of modified transportation equipment. Currently in process and stiU requiring several more years of work are transport wheelchair and vehicle power control standards. 

These laws include the Civil Service Reform Act, Immigration Reform and Control Act, Executive Order 11246, certain sections of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Civil Rights Act of 1964, Family and Medical Leave Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, and sections of the Rehabilitation Act, Social Security Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, and workers compensation law. 

Safety professionals should be aware that the ADA utilizes the broader language of disability rather than the term handicapped adopted under the Rehabilitation Act. Eor an individual to be considered disabled under the ADA, the physical or mental impairment must limit one or more major life activities. Under the U.S. Justice...
