System safety constructing

PRESSURE SYSTEM Defined in the Pressure System Safety Regulations 2000 as a system containing one or more pressure vessels of rigid construction, any associated pipework and protective devices the pipework with its protective devices to which a transportable gas container is, or is intended to be, connected or a pipeline and its protective devices which contains or is liable to contain a relevant fluid, but does not include a transportable gas container. Here relevant fluid is steam any fluid or mixture of fluids which is at a pressure of >0.5 bar above atmospheric pressure, and which fluid or a mixture of fluids is a gas, or a liquid which would have a vapour pressure of >0.5 bar above atmospheric pressure when in equilibrium with its vapour at either tlie actual temperature of the liquid or 17.5°C or a gas dissolved under pressure in a solvent contained in a porous substance at ambient temperamre and which could be released from the solvent with the application of heat.

A pre-startup safety review is a special safety review that is conducted after a modification to the process or operating conditions has been made and before the startup. In this review a team of reviewers ensures that (1) the system is constructed in accordance with the design specifications, (2) the safety, maintenance, operating, and emergency procedures are in place, (3) the appropriate training is completed, and (4) the recommendations from the PHA are implemented or resolved. 

Safety reviews A safety review (HAZOP study or equivalent study for hazardous operations) must be conducted by engineers, operators, and design specialists while the modification project is in the design phase. This allows (and encourages) safety changes to be made with minimum effort. Once the system is constructed, changes are difficult and costly to make. 

Several recovery scenarios were considered for remediation. Initially, construction of a narrow, permeable trench parallel to the canal appeared to be an appropriate interception system. The construction technique considered was use of a specially designed deep trenching unit. This type of trench would have included a tile drain leading to a single two-pump recovery well. However, a review of the subsurface site plans and interviews with long-term employees determined that an unknown number of buried pipes traverse the area intended for the trench construction. Disruption of refining operations and safety considerations resulted in rejection of this option.

To minimize subjectivity of safety judgments, information about the required behaviour of the system under construction and the project and its context itself is to be collected. The broad picture should include designers competence, tools efficiency, criteria of acceptance of their work, their responsibilities and dependence, or how data about the past are indicative of future trends and what the risks we are willing to accept in the future, agreements on best practice or limitations of knowledge and technology ... 

A large number of publications are available on paints and coatings, plastics and concrete. Unfortunately, the information available on polymeric construction products is scattered in journals, society reports and huge tomes which cover various technologies. This has tended to confuse and befuddle rather than enlighten the uninformed user. In this book an attempt has been made to present information on the chemistry of polymers, specific polymer systems in construction and health and safety issues. 

The system was constructed with a wide array of safety devices and instrumentation. There are redundant safety systems to minimize the possibility of an undesired incident. The system can be run with a single operator if desired. An extensive set of procedures was developed based on a comprehensive process hazards analysis (PHA) of the system (see Chapter 2). An environment, health, and safety (EH S) review is conducted prior to the start of any testing program.

STAMP provides a new theoretical foundation for system safety on which new, more powerful techniques and tools for system safety can be constructed. Part III presents some practical methods for engineering safer systems. All the techniques described in part III have been used successfully on real systems. The surprise to those trying them has been how well they work on enormously complex systems and how economical they are to use. Improvements and even more applications of the theory to practice will undoubtedly be created in the future. 

FBTR has been fully commissioned with small core up to a power level of 13.4 MWt and the performance of all the safety related systems has been satisfactory. Large number of modifications was carried out based on experience feed back and analysis of various incidents to improve system performance. Construction, commissioning and operation of FBTR have given considerable amount of experience and confidence, which will help in its smooth and sustained operation at nominal power and will also give useful feedback for the design and commissioning of large fast reactors. 

System safety analyses require the imaginative construction of every conceivable situation that could arise [p. 253]. 

The challenge for a system safety analyst is in this case to identify which parts are responsible for preventing arming. The system should have at least two such independent safety features. Often they are constructed as locks that prevent the interrupter from moving. To fulfil this task domain and system knowledge is necessary. 

FACILITY SYSTEM SAFETY Military Construction Programs... 

During the mid-1980s the US. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) and the Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC), with input from the other services, initiated efforts to develop facility system safety programs that would provide safety input early in the life cycle of major military construction projects. 

Additionally, traditional occupational and industrial safety methods should be employed to identify and control construction and manufacturing hazards associated with the project. For the remainder of the life cycle, system safety efforts are complemented by existing occupational, industrial, or operations safety programs. 

Analytical trees make excellent project description documents because they are relatively easy to construct and easy to understand. Many end users and some safety professionals, engineers, and managers are not skilled in reading blueprints, electrical schematics, or other technical documents. The analytical too is an excellent means for communicating project information within a system safety working group. 

System Safety professionals must recognize that the safety, health, and welfare of mankind is dependent upon sound scientific, engineering and management principles and practices being incorporated into the design, test, production, construction, and use of products and systems. 

System safety tools and techniques currently used primarily in the aerospace, weapons, and nuclear industries offer great potential for meeting these challenges. The systematic application of system safety fundamentals early in the life cycle to produce first time safe products and services can provide significant, cost-effective gains in the safety effort in transportation, manufacturing, construction, utilities, facilities, and many other areas.
