Safety Values

The autoignition temperature is the minimum temperature for a substance to initiate self-combustion in air in the absence of a spark or flame. The temperature is no lower than and is generahy considerably higher than the temperature corresponding to the upper flammabihty limit. Large differences can occur in reported values determined by different procedures. The lowest reasonable value should be accepted in order to assure safety. Values are also sometimes given in oxygen rather than in air.

Medicines Agency (EMEA) regulations, it is set a threshold safety value of 10 ng L and compounds whose PEC exceeds this quantity, have to be subjected to toxicity tests and can therefore, be considered as potential candidates to be included in monitoring programs [23]. 

Estimating Flammability Limits There are a number of very approximate methods available to estimate flammability limits. However, for critical safety values, experimental determination as close as possible to actual process conditions is always recommended. 

An individual study subject with one or more abnormal safety values in a trial may have responded adversely to the drug, but other causes should be sought. These include concurrent and intermittent illnesses, concurrent medications, alcohol or drug abuse and progress of the disease. The careful follow-up of the subject with repeated laboratory tests during and after treatment will usually resolve whether the observations are attributable to the drug. 

Many persons consider such comparisons invidious because they feel that they have a choice as to whether or not to drink a cup of coffee, but not as to whether they will be exposed to a herbicide spray drift. The point is not to enter a discussion of that philosophy, but to compare a commonly encountered phenomena by carrying out the same type of analysis as we do for pesticides, and thereby obtain comparable Margin of Safety values, independent of philosophical differences. Philosophy does not change toxic action, or the lack of it. 

Organizations vary considerably in terms of how they manage safety. Thus, the expectations of management safety behavior formed from one workplace may have little basis in reality in another workplace. At this point, it is also worth noting the vast literature on safety culture and safety climate. Safety culture stems from the organization and is the top-down safety values, beliefs, and norms, while safety climate is more accurately defined as the employee s perceptions of how various aspects of the working environment impact on their safety (see Bjerkan 2010, for a...

Safety policy should be broken into two parts. The first is a short and concise statement of the safety values of the corporation and what is expected from employees with respect to safety. Details about how the policy will be implemented should be separated into other documents. 

Common ingredients of a safety culture based on these values include management commitment to safety and the safety values, management involvement in achieving the safety goals, employee empowerment, and appropriate and effective incentive structures and reporting systems.

For example, the majority of accidents can be prevented. ... 

The NOAEL value is espeeially important for non-medieinal applieations (e.g. food additives, household materials, woikplaee safety values) as an upper limit whieh must be adopted when exposure limits are determined. Even moderately toxie materials may be used for eerlain purposes if a large safety faetor is applied. This safety factor is usually elose to a hundred (sometimes even a thousand), i.e. the acceptable or allowed or tolerable daily intake ADI or TDI) is ealeulated as follows ADI = NOAELI Qty faetor. 

Getting your employees to adopt the organization s safety values, and actively participate in its safety program, needs to be one of your key objectives.
