Safety and Quality Control

The key to preventing catastrophic emergencies inside the pilot plant is adequate technician training. The employee training aspect of the program includes the following sections  

General safety rules are designed to protect human life, the environment, and physical equipment or facilities. Before entering the pilot plant, a simple overview of the general plant safety rules is conducted. These rules include  

Respond to a fire, explosion, accident, or vapor release. 

Drink only from designated water fountains and potable water outlets. 

Report to the designated equipment owner before entering an operating area. Stay in your assigned area.

During take-off and landing, the wheels of modem aircraft are subject to great stress. New high-performance brake systems and aggressive environmental influences push the wheels closer and closer to their limit. These conditions as well as increased requirements for safety and quality control now necessitate that wheels are tested much more comprehensively than in the past.

The SCD organizes and coordinates the work of these bodies, as well as affiliated analytical laboratories and drug quality control centers, the central laboratory for state control and evaluation of blood products, and the all-Russian Research Institute of Medical Equipment (only in relation to certification, safety and quality control of medical equipment). 

For food safety and quality control, a number of other CRMs would be very much welcomed. Many requests are made for matrix matched CRMs and PTMs. Especially official food and feed control laboratories and moreover the Community and National Reference Laboratories are dependent on fit-for-purpose validated analytical methods and real matrix reference materials. 

In spite of these restrictions, the relative effects of impurities appear real and offer intriguing possibilities Based on Figure 20 lead azide containing a very small amount of silver has essentially the same detonation velocity and impact sensitivity as pure silver azide. Could silver-doped lead azide be produced and used in place of the more expensive silver azide The lead-doped silver azide appears to have a higher detonation velocity than pure silver azide and, therefore, could be very useful in small detonator applications. The results indicate that small amounts of ionic impurities can increase or decrease sensitivity of the azides to impact. This observation is most important from safety and quality-control viewpoints. 

Procedures/responsibilities organograms, supported by description, are used to describe the Environment, Safety and Quality Control and Responsible Care organisations. The director of environment, safety and quality control is shown as being responsible overall to the president, and is supported by ESH groups at both corporate and divisional level. Each plant has its own environment, safety and quality control department or section.

Healthcare facilities use a number of disinfectants, including alcohol, chlorine, chlorine compounds, hydrogen peroxide, phenolic substances, and quaternary ammonium compounds. Never routinely interchange disinfectants. Proper selection and use of disinfectants provide the key to effective safety and quality control. Alcohols demonstrate variable effectiveness against some bacteria and fungi. Alcohols act fast, leave no residue, and can compatibly combine with other disinfectants such as quaternaries, phenolic substances, and iodine to form tinctures. Aldehydes can prove effective against a wide spectrum of bacteria and viruses, including spores, when used properly. They also... 

The American Oil Chemists Society, 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago 1, was founded in 1909 for technical and scientific workers engaged in the extraction, refinement, safety and quality control of animal, marine and vegetable oils and fats. The Society s activities include two scientific meetings a year, short refresher courses annually, certification of chemists as referees, sale of official reagents, distribution of check samples, the study of technical problems, and its publications. The Journal reports latest scientific and technical developments in oils and fats, and issues as a supplement the lectures given at the short courses. The Methods of Analysis are published in loose-leaf form with annual revisions, to serve as standards and form the basis for trading in fats, oils, oilseeds and soap.

An important safety and quality control feature is the ability to monitor the slues and lifts which have been achieved as work progresses. The resulting geometry may be analyzed at the end of work to ensure it is satisfactory (an example of which is shown in Figure 4) and a record passed via various media to a central office. Corrections may also be applied during work to compensate for any errors, due to track spring-back and settlement, feeding back into the system.
