Standards focus

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has established a voluntary consensus standard for recording basic facts relating to the nature and occurrence of work injuries, ANSI Z16.2.( ) This standard has been in use for more than 30 years and provides a consistent baseline for many report formats. The standard focuses on injury to personnel and presents standard classification categories. If alternate codes are used in incident reports, special effort and notation must be made to avoid confusing the reader. 

The ISO 9000 series encompasses the product development sequence from strategic planning to customer service. Currently, it is a series of five quality system standards, with two of the standards focusing on guidance and three that are contractual standards. 

Regardless of the method of investigation used for any incident, there are some mandatory OSHA requirements. OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standard focus on incidents that could reasonably have resulted or actually had resulted in a catastrophic release of highly hazardous chemicals. A major requirement is having a procedure that the...

IS015189 Medical Laboratories—-Particular Requirements for Quality and Competence is a universal standard for quahty management in medical laboratories that specifies requirements in general terms applicable to all medical laboratory fields, The standard is intended to form the basis for accreditation of medical laboratories. In addition to general laboratory conditions in relation to quality control, the standard focuses on medical competence, interpretation of test results, selection of tests, reference intervals, ethical aspects, and safety. An annex concerns quality management of laboratory computer systems. 

In a diffractometer measurement by the standard focusing technique, the chief geometrical error is a displacement of the specimen surface from the diffractometer axis. If the specimen is displaced by an amount x along the reflecting-plane normal, then a line shift will occur even for a stress-free specimen, as it is rotated from j/ = 0 to = ij/. This shift, in radians, is given by [16.29]... 

The interviewees also pointed out several challenges related to ISO 11064 and the use of the standard. Almost one third (30.4%) pointed out that the standard focus on design of CCs from scratch , and that it is not suitable for modifications of CCs. 

Security is not addressed in any of the standards focused on chemical laboratory operations. The CSP and partnering organizations, such as lUPAC and ACS, should press the ISO to develop new standards that address chemical security, which could raise awareness and drive adoption of chemical laboratory security practices in developing countries. 

There are two basic categories of acceptance standards performance standards and product specifications. Performance standards focus on the ability of a material, component or assembly to resist the loads or environmental effects of its intended application. Product specifications focus on aspects of material quality, which may affect strength, appearance and durability. In some instances it may be possible to use existing standards directly with newly developed products and materials in other cases it may be necessary to modify existing standards or develop new standards to assure equitable evaluation. Consensus committees comprising producer, consumer, and user groups develop performance standards, which are used to evaluate the engineering performance of wood-based panels, such as hardboard, MDF and particleboard. This standard was used because no standard exists for the evaluation of woodfibre-plastic panel materials. 

Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (lEST) http //www.iest.org (accessed October 14, 2010). lEST, an ANSI-accredited developer of American National Standards, focuses on education and the development of recommended practices and standards. Absorbed the American Association for Contamination Control (1973). Formed by merger of the Institute of Enviromnental Engineers and Society of Environmental Engineers (1994). Formerly Institute of Environmental Sciences (1999). Special events or services ESTECH, the lEST annual technical meeting and exposition. Web site offers a conferencing and chat service. 

Standards focus on specifications providing improvements of safety to people and properties. They provide methods for analysis of hazards, risks and quantifying the safety of technical means to ensure the safety of buildings and erection or structures in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety, and provide a systematic approach to the facilities in civil engineering. Technical and safety related subsystems used in facilities of civil engineering are considered as systems of system. Also a holistic view of the entire system is given in Shcherbina, Lubimov, Puzyrevskaya Matveev (2012). 

Abstract. This document describes the experience of Sao Paulo state government in its initiatives to develop an e-gov standard, focusing on the importance of centralization of access efforts from the citizen s perspective and the role of human-computer interaction and social and digital inclusion in this process.

Many believe that hazardous conditions are the primary cause of workplace injuries. Without a doubt, unsafe conditions can and do contribute to many injuries. If a machine is unguarded, if the brakes are defective on a forklift, or if a handrailing is missing from an elevated work area, workers can be injured. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration concentrates on unsafe physical conditions of the workplace and does not usually consider behavioral issues. Most of the OSH A standards focus on identifying things in the workplace as opposed to not focusing on how workers behave. However, many times an unsafe condition is a direct result of the failure of management or en loyees to take corrective action.
