Safety and Security Officer

Safety and Security Officer The mission of the safety officer is to ensure for the safety of the staff, facility, and the environment during the disaster operation. The safety officer has the final authority to make decisions as they relate to safety and hazardous conditions. With the threat of bioterrorism and chemical warfare, the role of the safety officer has taken on added importance. 

The organizational chart further identifies key positions in the project team, including the project director, project manager, site safety and health officer (SSHO), site supervisor, emergency response coordinator, site security, and other specialized positions.

The containment and security handling of the FMDV virus crystals was a particularly important aspect of this project. Transport of the virus crystals to the synchrotron from the south of England was approved months in advance by the Chief Veterinary Officer in the United Kingdom. Each trip could only be 24 hr in duration and a Safety Officer had to accompany the scientists on their trips. Perhaps the most important aspect of safety and security was that FMDV is unstable below pH 7. Hence, citric acid swabs were placed on the oscillation camera under the glass capillary holding an FMDV crystal hence, in case of accidental breakage of a capillary the FMDV crystal would be neutralised by the citric acid (actually the breakage of a capillary never did happen). The lability of the virus to acid was explained qualitatively once the struc-... 

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), a part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), is responsible for the safe and secure movement of hazardous materials by all transportation modes. The primary office within PHMSA responsible for transportation safety and security is the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety. In addition to PHMSA, the Federal Railroad Administration and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration within U.S. DOT are involved in transportation safety and security. 

Nuclear materials are specifically regulated under 10 CFR 1.42, administered by the U. S. NRC, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Security (NMSS). The duties and responsibilities of the NMSS include protecting the public health and safety, national defense and security by licensing, inspection, and environmental impact assessment for nuclear facilities and activities involving nuclear materials, and for the import and export of special nuclear materials.

The OPCW is the implementing body for the CWC, which underlies the outreach efforts of the CSP. There are 188 nations (98 percent of the global population) that have joined the OPCW. The OPCW maintains a Web site with a list of scheduled chemicals, an important resource for instructors and other persons responsible for maintaining laboratory safety and security. OPCW provides funding for its officers to speak at important conferences to introduce the OPCW and CWC to encourage involvement by the chemical community. The OPCW also provides grants for instrumentation and research to foster the peaceful applications of chemistry. 

To establish and support a unified effort for safety management and to provide guidance to people at all levels, each institution should have at least one designated safety officer. The safety officer should be equipped with the knowledge, responsibility, and authority to develop and enforce an effective safety and security management system. 

Establish an institutional safety and security oversight committee and designate a chemical safety officer. The top institutional leader (such as the president or chancellor of a university or the director of a research center or agency) should establish a committee to provide oversight for chemical safety and security. The committee should report directly to the top leaders and receive the necessary financial and administrative support. The institution should also define CSO responsibilities and authority and appoint at least one CSO. Each CSO should be part of the Safety and Security Oversight Committee. 

In addition, cultural or religious traditions could keep men from giving women physical assistance that they need in emergencies. In case of such situations, laboratory safety offices and security offices should hire women. 

Abstract. The trend to compose real time systems with standard IT known from conventional office domains results in heterogeneous technical environments. Examples are modern industrial process automation networks. It is a challenging task, because of potential impacts of security incidents to the system safety. For example, robot control rmits could be manipulated by malicious codes. The term risk communication is introduced, to describe alarm communication in hmnan-machine interaction scenarios. User adapted risk communication between humans and industrial automation systems, including home robotics, can prevent hazards and/or threats to the entire system safety and security. Current safety and security risk communication standards are compared to examine the adequacy for our uniform approach. This paper focuses on alarm system standards in the industrial process automation domain and intrusion detection systems from the conventional desktop IT domain. A uniform model based approach for risk communication in distributed IT enviromnents is introduced. 

Another relatively new but strongly growing area of application is that of security and safety components. More and more people are relying on electronic systems to protect themselves, their homes and their offices. Such systems are comprised of a variety of components such as sensors, movement detectors and transmitter modules. Since many of these parts are mounted on the exterior of buildings, a main requirement is long-term weather resistance. Examples of applications in which ASA is already in use are [106]...

They must ensure that final disposition complies with applicable environmental, health, safety, and national security regulations.
