Safety performance perspective

From a general safety perspective, it is widely recognized that safety performance is determined by three elements ...

The ReactlR MP unit is designed from a safety and performance perspective for operations in manufacturing environments. One of the operational problems occasionally encountered with in-line spectroscopic techniques is fouling of optical components. To avoid fouling of the probe and to insure a clean spectroscopic window, the ReactlR MP is equipped with a 200-W ultrasonic... 

In systems engineering perspective, this paper constructs a system dynamics model of safety input and safety performance in coal mine production. It s dynamically simulated the impact of... 

A key issue for the effective realization of this vision is the consideration of safety aspects. The analysis of the safety performance in the single technologies for production, distribution and utilisation must be complemented by a holistic perspective. 

A final word on the two investigations you are required to perform for each driver applicant. Both inquiries must be made within 30 days of the date of emplo3mient. However, from a safety management perspective, taking advantage of this 30-day window is not recommended.

Many, like the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, 2008), look at safety performance indicators from two perspectives ... 

It is important that employees understand the intended purpose of the JHA process. It is the job that is under review from a hazard and associated risk, safety-related perspective, and not an evaluation of their job performance or their productivity. 

Having so far outlined the history of safety as well as characterised the principles and practices of safety as they can be seen from daily practices, the time has come for a more formal and systematic analysis of Safety-I. This is needed in order fully to account for the strengths and weaknesses of the Safety-I perspective, and through that also to provide the foundation for a complementary view - Safety-II. This will be done by performing a deconstruction of Safety-I. 

In conclusion this case study has highlighted the benefits of the quantified analyses within the domain of Loss Prevention. By using QRA and RAM we are able to assess the design of a plant from a safety and performance perspective. The values of Risk and Production Efficiency and by performing sensitivity analyses we are able to make informed decisions about the impact of changes to design over a base case. 

There is no ideal culture, but there are cultures that are suitable for every situation. This perspective has gradually become established as the only one that can cope with the real situation. All normative approaches to this area have turned out to be counterproductive. We have seen in the paragraphs above that there are several different models of safety rather than just one. It makes sense that these different models of safety, which reflect different trade-offs between flexibility, competitiveness, adaptability and safety performance, should be based on different ways of managing the safety culture.

It is widely understood within the industry that risk is defined as the combination of the probability of harm and the severity of that harm. Within the pharmaceutical industry whenever risk is considered the equipment or product being assessed must be viewed in the context of the protection of the patient. From our perspective, analytical instruments may impact on the validity of data that determines the safety and efficacy of drug products, or on the quality of the drug product. They may also impact on the identity or potency of the drug product and therefore it is important to ensure that risk management is performed throughout the complete life cycle of the instrument.
