Training of inspectors

At the same time, SEPE s own resources and training of inspectors in monitoring is insufficient to m e them confident in using it when dealing with OHS issues for hazardous substances. 

For details on the training of inspectors in World War II, see Brophy, Miles, and Cochrane, From Laboratory to Field. 

Assessment variations ranging from 2 to 3 dB are normal, even with well-trained ultrasonic inspectors. With longer work assignments or adverse external influences (cold, heat, dust, noises, etc.) considerably higher variations (12 dB and more) are often observed due to lack of concentration and to tiredness [1]. 

Edcfy-cufrent NDT inspections using spatial data (sampled scans) ha >e many benefits. They separate the two conflicting aspects of an inspection scanning and signal interpretation. An instrument/display (client/server) based NDT inspection based on sampled scan data aides in the training and certification of inspectors. It can be used over the Internet or in-house Intranet networks to train or examine inspectors at multiple or remote sites. This saves travel time and resources as defects, instrumentation and teaching can all be consolidated Samples can be maintained and distributed from a central certification body providing more control andflexibility. 

Mock OSHA Inspection. Maintenance can learn a lot about how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) trains thein inspectors and what is emphasized in an OSHA inspection. Some of the training of OSHA inspectors follows a program involving the recognition of potential hazards, avoidance of these hazards, and prevention of accidents (RAP). 

It can be seen from what has been said that the technology of surface preparation and coating application is complex. Attention to detail cannot be ignored and every effort must be made to train painting inspectors as well as possible. Certification schemes are, without doubt, a positive step in this direction and should be supported. 

Only four of tiie 10 countries— Australia, Estonia, Malaysia and the Netherlands —operate an audit system to evaluate the GMP performance of inspectors or the inspectorate. Auditing of distribution-channel inspection is carried out by Malaysia, the Netherlands, Uganda and Venezuela. In Australia, GMP audit is both internal and external, and involves an extensive review of process and technical approach. Further training, advice, revision of job description, legal proceedings and dismissal of inspectors are some of the means used to correct any weaknesses observed. 

Inspections should be performed by a suitably qualified, experienced inspector or team of inspectors with relevant qualifications, training and experience in performing inspections in foreign countries. Inspectors should have sound knowledge of quality assurance and GMP in pharmaceutical product production and quality control. A sufficient niunber of inspectors should be appointed to carry out inspections within predetermined time flames. 

Quality control of packaging components does not always require sophisticated measuring equipment to rate variable quality. Detailed visual examination by a trained QC inspector can often identify the unusual or low-level per cent defectives. 

All enterprises should pay more attention to cultivate an excellent management team for safety education and training, and take great effort to train technicians and managers. The operator who have special work must be special trained before going to work, mine workers must have junior or higher educational level. Workers must be certificated strictly. We should improve the overall quality of coal miners, and meanwhile, we also must train safety inspectors regularly to improve the quality of coal mine safety inspectors. 

The detailed nature of the specification was earlier mentioned. In fact the clarity of it concerning the steel itself left a great deal to be desired. Only four Izod impact tests were required, two with a notch in the weld and two with a notch in the heat affected zone. It was also stated that tests should be carried out at two temperatures, 32°F and 70 F. If this had been the case then only one test under each condition would have been made. In the event it was unfortunate that the lower temperature test was omitted, because it was the more critical one from the point of view of brittle fracture. If the reasons for these tests had been stated in the specification, then at least the CRB inspectors would have been able to approach their task with more understanding. The commissioners were of the opinion that the ambiguous use of the term BS 968 contributed to the series of misunderstandings that surrounded the supply of steel to the bridge. They were convinced that the train of events would have been quite different if the full specification of the steel required had been given without mention of BS 968. 

Lookout man at fault] A track machine man working with a tamper was struck by a train travelling on an adjacent line. An inexperienced lookout man failed to give warning of the oncoming train. (Railway Inspectorate Report)...
