Because public safety responders are likely to be first on the scene of a chemical attack, your recognition of the incident as a chemical attack can prevent contamination of responders, including yourself. In a chemical attack there are usually reports of a number of persons reported to be sick or down. If dispatch states that you are responding to a scene of multiple people down, you know you are responding to a high-risk call. Keep in mind that in addition to the chemical attack, there may be other hazards ... 

We identified fom clusters from the questionnaire responses. One (which we labelled disenfranchising pharmacies ) was characterised by a low level of control on the JCQ (little control over how they do their work), a mean effort-reward ratio of 1.36 on the ERI (effort exceeding reward), a low level of overcommitment on the JCQ (able to distance themselves from their work), a low level of organisational learning on the PSCQ (the pharmaey has little commitment to improving safety) and a low level of safety focus on the PSCQ (the pharmacy does not see safety as a priority). Examples of conunents made by these respondents included ...

Since the first annual comparative database report, published in 2007, which included data voluntarily submitted from 382 US hospitals, the number of hospitals and staff respondents included in the database report has grown each year. The Hospital SOPS 2012 Comparative Database Report displays results from 1,128 hospitals and 567,703 hospital staff respondents (Sorra et al. 2012). This large number of hospitals provides for a much more reliable and comprehensive set of benchmarks. 

A wide range of documentary sources of health and safety information were referred to by those interviewed. The most frequently mentioned were as shown in Table 6.1. In addition to these, a variety of other documents were mentioned by just a few respondents, including the legislation, departmental instructions, safety data sheets, weekly notices, and posters. Managers were the most likely to refer to Board and local policy statements whereas most members of the workforce and safety representatives who could refer to documentary sources most frequently mentioned the rule book. Supervisors referred to five main documentary sources which in descending order of frequency were local policy documents health and safety booklets the rule book BRB policy and policy booklets .

The increase in the number and range of environmental regulations at the federal, state and local level has made it more difficult to achieve and manage environmental compliance for both single and multiple facility semiconductor companies. The industry has taken several approaches to respond including increases in the level, or resources committed to, environmental compliance and the development and implementation of environmental audit programs. 

The use and safety of intralesional cidofovir for RRP was also investigated by another team, using a cross-sectional survey [3 ]. The survey was distributed to 82 surgeons, who collectively had managed 1248 RRP patients (including 447 children) in the previous lOyears. Adverse events reported by respondents included dysplasia (75 and 8, adults and children respectively), squamous cell carcinoma (14 and 3), acute kidney injury (0 and 5), and death (1 and 3). The authors recommend that when cidofovir is used in this context, there should be a documented discussion with patients of the risks versus the benefits and also that informed consent should be obtained for this off-label usage, with mention of risk of acute kidney injxuy in children.
