Specific response

PCB congeners exhibit considerable variations that are dependent on the specific response and the test species. ... 

Provides chemical information to assist response to emergencies involving spills of hazardous materials. Contains chemical, physical, and biological data, and specific response-oriented information (c.g., countermeasures). Developed by (he U.S. Coast Guard. 

It is important to assign both authority and specific responsibility to implement each protective measure. A safety engineer may need to provide the training the manager should provide safe tools and equipment and the employees should inspect their tools to ensure that they are in safe condition. 

Safety plans must make clear site-specific responsibilities and lines of authority. Examples should be used in the plan so that it clearly spells out what must take place in a variety of situations. An organizational chart should become part of any larger site s plan. The dotted line and solid line responsibilities give on-site personnel a clear indication of what is expected of them, and to whom they should report unsafe or unhealthy situations. 

Once formed, the team would quickly establish specific responsibilities for each member, and would work against the following process ... 

In addition to these specific responsibilities, we want to emphasize that Marwood employees participation will be critical to the success of the PSM pilot test, and to the company s PSM initiative as a whole. It is you who will determine the value of our work so far, and your cooperation and input are very much appreciated. 

In some organizations, designated individuals have specific responsibility for eliciting detailed information from operational staff on the immediate and underlying causes of incidents. An example is the Human Performance Evaluation System (HPES) developed for the nuclear industry, which is described in Bishop and Larhette (1988). These coordinators provide a certain level of guaranteed irrununity from sanctions which allows individuals to be frank about the contributory causes that they may not be willing to discuss in an open forum. As discussed earlier, the need for this approach is a consequence of the fact that in many organizations a blame culture exists which is likely to inhibit a free flow of information about the causes of accidents. 

While the overall policy responsibility for health and safety rests with senior managers, all employees within the organization, irrespective of their duties, have some degree of responsibility for carrying out the policy. Where appropriate, nominated persons with specific responsibilities for health and safety should be named with a summary of their responsibilities defined. It follows that there should be a procedure established whereby deputies are available during the nominated person s absences. 

To enable both company and contractor to comply with their specific responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974, a Lone Workers policy, supported by a method of assessment of potential hazards relating to the work to be carried out, should be prepared. Such a system would prove beneficial when, for any reason, the regular lone worker cannot be found. 

So one can say the designer should not carry all these responsibilities. True but if the responsibility is not delegated to one person, you allow for problems to develop. Perhaps a certain qualified manager (the designer s boss) should have the responsibility. For a small operation it is usually its owner who may or may not properly delegate specific responsibilities. 

The results obtained are shown in figure 18, the upper chromatogram representing the polluted river water and the lower chromatogram a sample taken after clean-up treatment. The level of phenol present in the lower chromatogram was about 34 ppt. The separation was monitored by an electrochemical detector which had a very high specific response to phenol. The column used was packed with Cl 8... 

The ability to incorporate spatially explicit information that will couple these site-specific responses to global climate change is critical to summarizing the impact these site-specific feedbacks to global-scale feedbacks. 

You should Include their specific responsibilities In their Job description (If they have one). 

Formation of stable chelates with phytosiderophores occurs with Fe but also with Zn, Cu, Co, and Mn (Fig. 8) (39,207,208) and can mediate the extraction of considerable amounts of Zn, Mn, Cu, and even Cd in calcareous soils (204,209). There is increasing evidence that PS release in graminaceous plants is also stimulated in response to Zn deficiency (210-212), but possibly also under Mn and Cu deficiency (213). Similar to Fe deficiency, the tolerance of different graminaceous plant species to Zn deficiency was found to be related to the amount of released PS (211,212), but correlation within cultivars of the same species seems to be low (214). It is, however, still a matter of debate as to what extent PS release is a specific response to deficiencies of the various inicronutrients. Cries et al. (213) reported that exudation of PS in Fe-deficient barley was about 15-30 times greater than PS release in response to Zn, Mn, and Cu deficiency. In contrast, PS exudation in Zn-deficient bread wheat was in a similar range as PS... 

Under aerated conditions at neutral to alkaline pH, inorganic iron is extremely insoluble (8), such that plants and microorganisms rely absolutely on iron uptake from organic matter complexes or iron that has been solubilized by siderophores and organic compounds contained in root exudate. Low-molecular-weight root exudates that dissolve iron include organic acids that are secreted by plant roots as a specific response to iron deficiency (9) or that are released constitutively at...

Contour plots (Fig. 13) are also generated in the same mariner. The specific response is noted on the graph,... 

Working groups were organized with specific responsibility to assess the utility and limits of four different methods (or tools) currently used by EPA and industry for evaluating hazards posed by toxic chemicals (1) laboratory toxicity data, (2) microcosm test data, (3) site-specific data, and (4) chemical fate and exposure model results. The Exposure Modeling Committee (3.) report presented an assessment of the current extent of field model testing and recommendations for future testing efforts. 

ATSDR s specific responsibilities related to blood lead screening at lead-contaminated hazardous waste sites include (1) evaluation of site-specific environmental lead exposure information, (2) identification of populations potentially exposed to lead, (3) decision about whether or not to conduct blood lead screening, (4) evaluation of blood lead screening results, and (5) determination of whether the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) proposed site remediation plans are sufficient to protect public health. 

The formulation of timed-release medicines is based on the specific response of polymeric coatings to their chemical environment. The chemical packaging of these medicines determines the precise conditions for effective control and sustained dosage of these drugs.
