Regarding the above, it is essential to distinguish between the safety of machines, machinery, and technical systems, risk control, and their reliability. Within the risk... 

Hot feed Provide and maintain an automated inerting (increases system—oxygen concentration or pressure fire/explosion risk controlled with flammable. Eliminate leakage sources (ftimes/air) solvents).

The Berlin City electrical engineer M. Kallmann reported in 1899 on a system for controlling stray currents of electric railways [64]. As early as 1894, the Board of Trade in London issued a safety regulation for the British electric railways which specified a potential differential of not more than 1.5 V where the pipeline was positive to the rails, but 4.5 V with the rails positive. Extensive research was undertaken on reducing the risk of stray current in the soil by metallic connections from pipes to rails. However, as one writer noted, a procedure on these lines should definitely be discouraged as it carries the seed of its own destruction [64].

Increased risk taking Individuals tend to take greater risks when they operate within a group rather than alone. Various explanations have been suggested, namely the illusion that the system they control is invulnerable, the diffusion of responsibility for any potential problems, the presence of persuasive persons who may take risky positions and the increased familiarization of the problem through discussions.

Potential vulnerabilities in control systems are exacerbated by insecure connections. Organizations often leave access links—such as dial-up modems to equipment and control information—open for remote diagnostics, maintenance, and examination of system status. Such links may not be protected with authentication or encryption, which increases the risk that hackers could use these insecure connections to break into remotely controlled systems. Also, control systems often use wireless communications systems, which are especially vulnerable to attack, or leased lines that pass through commercial telecommunications facilities. Without encryption to protect data as it flows through these insecure connections or authentication mechanisms to limit access, there is limited protection for the integrity of the information being transmitted. 

The plasma level of fatty acids in a fed subject is between 0.3 and 0.5 mmol/L. As discussed above, the maximal safe level is about 2 mmol/L. This is not usually exceeded in any physiological condition since, above this concentration, that of the free (not complexed with albumin) fatty acids in the blood increases markedly. This can then lead to the formation of fatty acid micelles which can damage cell membranes the damage can cause aggregation of platelets and interfere with electrical conduction in heart muscle (Chapter 22). The cells particularly at risk are the endothelial cells of arteries and arterioles, since they are directly exposed to the micelles, possibly for long periods of time. Two important roles of endothelial cells are control of the diameter of arterioles of the vascular system and control of blood clotting (Chapter 22). Damage to endothelial cells could be sufficiently severe to interfere with these functions i.e. the arterioles could constrict, and the risk of thrombosis increases. Both of these could contribute to the development of a heart attack (Chapter 22) (Box 7.4). 

Event— An occurrence involving the process caused by equipment performance, human action, or by an occurrence external to the risk control system. In Multilinear Event Sequencing (MES) an event is defined as one actor plus one action.

For network implementation purposes, the first decision is whether the network is considered an open or a closed system. The open/closed system issue will drive the technological and procedural controls that need to be considered during the system implementation, and that need to be addressed as part of the system risk analysis. 

Software development is one of the most risk-prone management challenges. Risk factors can negatively impact the development process and, if ignored, can lead to project failure. To counteract these factors, system risk must be actively assessed, controlled, and reduced on a routine basis.1... 

The Hull site is a top-tier COMAH establishment and the individual plant safety reports were used as a base to identify the major hazard scenarios. While the Hull plants produce different final products, the key operational stages are the same, i.e., feed system, reactor section, initial separation and recycling, and final distillation train. The Risk Control Systems (RCS) were therefore fundamentally the same but each plant was reviewed in isolation. A total of eight different RCS were considered as part of the review and the process described in HSG 254 was used for each one. The Workbook produced during the review for one of the plants as part the process is attached in Appendix 1. ... 

The major change is in Section 4.3.1 - Environmental Aspects under ISO 14001 and Planning for hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control under OHSAS 18001. OHSAS is much more detailed and prescriptive in how hazards are identified, and how risks are identified, assessed and controlled compared to how aspects and impacts are managed under ISO 14001. The environmental benefits derived from implementation of ISO14001 would similarly be expected to be realized by including occupational health and safety into the applicability of an environmental management system. For the record, many organizations have chosen to add occupational health and safety into the scope of their ISO 14001 EMS. 

Documentation is a prime necessity in quality assurance. Its purpose is to define the system of control, to reduce the risk of error inherent in oral communication, to ensure that personnel are instructed in the details of, and follow the procedures concerned in a logical, reproducible manner. 

Safety and reliability of chemical process plants are such important issues, they deserve the best techniques to prevent problems occurring. To minimize risks resulted from operating problems and hazardous events, process system safety and reliability analysis is often employed. This is a rigorous approach undertaken to improve system reliability and safety. The approach consists of three main tasks hazard identification, risk estimation, and risk control. 

Systems that control prices, especially those that control the launch prices of new drugs, also affect R D, and it is even more difficult to predict the directions or overall magnitude of their effect on R D. The effects would depend on how prices were set and how high they are. For example, a system that controlled only the prices of me-too drugs could have effects on R D that are very different from a system that controlled all new drug prices. Price regulation adds an additional level of uncertainty to the process of R D which, as a new risk, lowers expected returns from R D investments,...
