In this sub-chapter we intend to give an overview of household appliances using the different gas sensor principles mentioned in the previous chapters. The appliances can be divided into two categories gas sensors for safety and for comfort. Natural gas and CO-alarm systems for example are safety-relevant whereas air quality measurement, control of self-cleaning of ovens etc. are more or less a matter of comfort or energy-saving. 

This chapter provides an overview of a management system for investigating process safety incidents. It opens with a review of management responsibilities and presents the important features that a management system must address to be effective. It examines systematic approaches that help implement incident investigation teams, root cause determinations, recommendations, follow-up, and documentation. 

In the previous chapters the purposes of near miss reporting have been outlined and a framework of designing such a safety management tool has been presented. The importance of human behaviour as a dominant factor in incident sequences was stressed by developing a system failure classification scheme largely based on a theoretical model of operator behaviour. Also an overview was given of the organisational factors necessary for a successful implementation of a NMMS. 

Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series This section provides an overview of a management system design with a specific focus on human health and safety as compared to the broader scope of the environment. 

Essentially all electronics systems in use - be it for engine management, in safety systems, or as convenience features - need one or more sensors as input to their signal processing. An overview by Fleming [2] counted 107 different sensor applications in the car a luxury car typically contains 100 or more sensors. Therefore the automotive sensor market has grown at least as well as the electronics market over the past two decades and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. 

Since safety-catch means the activation of the linker prior to cleavage, such a system can be applied for monodirectional, such as traceless linkers, or multifunctional linkers [9] as well as for cleavage-cyclization strategies. Table 16.1 gives an overview of the safety-catch linker types known to date. Slight differences... 

First, system dynamics models were created to model the contextual influences on the behavior of each component (patients, pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, and so on) in the pharmaceutical safety control structure. Then the models were combined to assist in understanding the behavior of the system as a whole and the interactions among the components. The complete analysis can be found in [43] and a shorter paper on some of the results [44]. An overview and some examples are provided here.

Neonicotinoid insecticides have experienced a most remarkable and steady increase in use since their market introduction in 1991, now exceeding 10% of the total insecticide market 1-3). An overview of these products is given in Table I (cf. 4). The major advantages of the new products over the previously preferred organophosphates are a novel chemistry, a new mode of action, systemic action and human safety. The systemic activity makes them the insecticide class of choice for the control of plant sucking pests.
