CFR1910.120(q)(3)(x) 4.3.10 When deemed necessary by the safety officer for meeting the tasks at hand, approved self-contained compressed air breathing apparatus may be used with approved cylinders from other approved self-contained compressed air breathing apparatus provided that such cylinders are of the same capacity and pressure rating. All compressed air cylinders used with self-contained breathing apparatus shall meet U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) criteria. 

Advice as to what protective clothing, if any, should be worn under given working conditions can best be obtained from the safety officer. For advice on choice of materials, see the chapter Recomntertdatlons on Gloves and Other Protective Clothing. 

Peter Whitlam is senior secondary inspector for Dudley LEA with additional responsibility for physical education. Peter has worked in schools, higher education and for the advisory inspectorate and has provided inservice courses across the country as well as overseas. He has a law degree and has much experience as an expert witness. He is also deputy safety officer for BAALPE. 

At the faculty level, the notion of academic freedom is often misused to avoid compliance with safety regulations, and faculty members typically cannot be forced to comply with safety rules. Although every chemistry department has faculty members who were educated and trained in Western universities that have higher safety standards, the effect of their training is barely felt. Because safety has very low priority, there is hardly any safety instruction, and there are few training workshops for safety officers for this purpose. 

Obtain a copy of the Corps of Engineers publication EM 385-1-1. Assume you are the safety officer for a contractor that win begin work on a constmction project. Identify how you would prepare your employer for safety management of the project. 

Monitor hands, clothing, shoes, and work area after completion of work with radioiodine. The recommended instrument for I is a thin sodium iodide crystal probe and for I a pancake G-M probe. The unit must be at the workstation and turned on during all use of radioiodine. If any significant contamination is detected during contamination surveys, clean the area with sodium thiosulfate solution. Contact the radiation safety office for any instance of human contamination.

DAB (2 mg/ml) store in aliquots at -20°C. The horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate diaminobenzidine (DAB) is a potential carcinogen. Use gloves and a chemical fume hood, and dispose of DAB solutions and washes either in bleach or in a permanganate inactivation solution (see below) the permanganate solution is thought to be safer than bleach (Limn and Sansone 1992). Consult local safety office for guidelines. 

Laser radiation, visible or invisible, can cause severe damage to the eyes and skin. Take proper precautions to prevent exposure to direct and reflected beams. Always follow manufacturers safety guidelines and consult the local safety office. For more detailed information, see caution below. 

Ethidiiun bromide is a powerful mutagen and is moderately toxic. Consult the local institutional safety officer for specific handling and disposal procedures. Avoid breathing the dusts. Wear appropriate gloves when working with solutions that contain this dye. 

Thus, although it may be safe to rely on your patient safety officer for tactical systems improvements, it is rarely successful to rely on him or her to lead culture change. So, given the complexity of the healthcare world, how does one build a culture that values safety ... 

Sweep up the absorbent and dispose of properly. Consult the Safety Officer or Assistant Safety Officer for proper disposal procedure. Rinse the spill area thoroughly with water. 

The FDA is headed by the Commissioner of Food and Dmgs. This position is not a Cabiaet-level office but falls within the PubHc Health Service (PHS), a division within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The post of FDA Commissioner is subject to HHS pohtical clearance and Senate confirmation, and the Commissioner is ultimately accountable to HHS, Congress, and the President of the United States. The Commissioner has a staff to assist ia poHcy making and several deputy commissioners to oversee operation of ah. the subordinate units. FDA has six regional offices within the country, each responsible for a section of the country, and 21 district offices. Persons with technical background typicahy work ia one of FDA s chemistry laboratories or as investigators or consumer safety officers. 

Where specialist knowledge is required, the relevant aspects should be clearly established and the respective persons made aware of such. This expertise can be obtained, for example, from the company s safety officer, chemist, etc. Finally, the policy statement should make clear the level of responsibility of every employee. 

This rule varies from state to state. Some materials are exempt from Nuclear Regulatory Commission or State licensing requirements. Most institutions already have an institutional license which would specify the safety officer. It would be well for the clinical chemistry laboratory to check with this individual before beginning to use radioactive materials. If there is no license, many manufacturers of isotope materials will assist the laboratory in obtaining the proper license. 

For whom is this book intended For those involved in industry, particularly nonchemical operations), who have, for a long while (since the application of the Labour Code) had much experience in safety matters, but for whom my experience as a trainer in the department of Hygiene, Safety and Environment of the lUT allows me to say how inadequately prepared they are when confronted with certain aspects of risk chemistry. Public organisations, curiously, had, until recently, no obligation to administer the Labour Code and that which concerned hygiene and workers safety. This book is concerned with all these activities but is not addressed to all safety officers because it presupposes a basic knowledge of chemistry. For all that, the chemist may not be at ease with this book, which he may find difficult. For this reason, numerous examples are provided to illustrate the methods studied, and assist in their application, and to permit him to identify the limits.

This compilation has been prepared and revised to give access to a wide and up-to-date selection of documented information to research students, practising chemists, safety officers and others concerned with the safe handling and use of reactive chemicals. This will allow ready assessment of the likely potential for reaction hazards which may be associated with an existing or proposed chemical compound or reaction system. 

The relative rarity of dust and powder ignitions makes them a unique sort of industrial safety threat. Because their occurrence is not routine, operating personnel eventually relax their guard, and too often this sort of behavior leads to dangerous incidents. The evidence that dust explosions are almost unknown within fluidized beds is an especially challenging problem for the safety officer, who must encourage vigilance even when no one remembers the last electrostatic incident.

A protocol for the light microscope radioautography of Lilium longiflorum pollen tubes labeled with [14C]-proline follows. This protocol, which does not require tissue embedding in paraffin or Paraplast, can be modified for paraffin-embedded tissues see Chapter 2). Thus, by employment of the protocol, together with the preceding introductory information in this chapter, one should be able to derive a protocol applicable to the cells or tissue in question. The performance of the protocol requires approval of an institution s Radiation Safety Officer. An inventory of incoming radionuclides, their presence in secondary containers, and their waste must be carefully recorded. The waste must be further broken down into solid waste, liquid waste, and animal carcasses to aid in its proper disposal. 

Strength Habitability surveys conducted at CP (command post) upon arrival of Haz-Mat team. EPA conducted surveys at CP upon their arrival. SRS (Savannah River Site) and Richmond County Haz-Mat resources arrived on scene within a timely manner and were designated by FDIC (Fire Department Incident Commander) to be responsible for Haz-Mat operations. Haz-Mat personnel assisted in CP location determination. EPA utilized Coast Guard Gulf Coast Strike Team to provide monitoring and on scene response. By comparing consist (a list of all the cars in the train which describes their position in the train, type, contents, destination, etc.) to entry team visual inspection, chemicals involved were accurately identified. Written response plan and safety procedures implemented for Haz-Mat operations. Briefings provided to Haz-Mat responders by Safety Officer on entry considerations maps were covered for responders unfamiliar with the area. 

Strength ACSO (Aiken County Sheriffs Office) personnel had Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in their vehicles and were directed to utilize it. ACSO Sheriff contacted neighboring county Sheriffs directly via cell phone to coordinate safe arrival direction to the staging area. ADPS (Aiken Department of Public Safety) Staging officer directed rescue personnel through specified safety routes. US-OSHA representatives offered support on Day 2 and identified no safety concerns for responders. 

Improvement Item Habitability surveys were not conducted initially at Command Post or Forward Operations. Safety Officer was not initially assigned for the incident, however one was appointed when Command Post (CP) relocated to Kmart parking lot.
