Download or read book Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics written by National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-08-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics is a corporate-focused analysis that brings clarity and practicality to the complex issues of environmental metrics in industry. The book examines the metrics implications to businesses as their responsibilities expand beyond the factory gateâ€"upstream to suppliers and downstream to products and services. It examines implications that arise from greater demand for comparability of metrics among businesses by the investment community and environmental interest groups. The controversy over what sustainable development means for businesses is also addressed. Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics identifies the most useful metrics based on case studies from four industriesâ€"automotive, chemical, electronics, and pulp and paperâ€"and includes specific corporate examples. It contains goals and recommendations for public and private sector players interested in encouraging the broader use of metrics to improve industrial environmental performance and those interested in addressing the tough issues of prioritization, weighting of metrics for meaningful comparability, and the longer term metrics needs presented by sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of Industrial Chemical Exposure reflects the changes in the status of biological monitoring over the past decade. Essentially double the size of the first edition, the Second Edition includes vast amounts of updated and expanded material on biological monitoring methods for individual chemicals. Almost every chapter has been rewritten from the point of view of recent research, and the list of relevant citations has increased considerably. Industrial Chemical Exposure 2nd Edition is a practical guide to biological monitoring for industrial clinical exposure assessment. Chapter 1 discusses the objectives of biological monitoring, the types of biological monitoring methods, their advantages and limitations, and practical aspects that must be considered before initiating a biological monitoring program. Chapter 2 summarizes what is known about biological monitoring for inorganic and organometallic substances. Chapter 3 discusses biological methods available for assessing exposure to organic substances. Chapter 4 is a summary table providing practical recommendations for chemicals discussed in the previous chapters. Industrial Chemical Exposure 2nd Edition is a useful reference for occupational physicians, industrial hygienists, clinical chemists, and toxicologists.
Download or read book Guidelines for a Voluntary Code of Practice for the Chemical Industry Russian Language written by United Nations Staff and published by UN. This book was released on 2009-11-17 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines provide guidance to national authorities that have implemented mandatory controls but wish to establish a broaderbased and more comprehensive approach to chemical control in order to respond rapidly and flexibly to changes in local and regional illicit drug manufacturing activities. The text is intended to assist authorities in the development of a code of practice with the national chemical industry as a supplement to existing national legislation in line with the spirit of article 12 of the 1988 Convention. Such cooperative and voluntary efforts with the industrial sector are a key component of effective national and regional chemical control programmes and offer an effective means of monitoring precursor chemicals without impeding access by legitimate users.
Download or read book Improving Safety in the Chemical Laboratory written by Jay A. Young and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1987 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume provides much-needed practical information for setting up and operating a safe chemical laboratory. The reader will learn to discern whether close calls or non-events have happened, and how to identify and eliminate their causes. The book consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 covers organization for safety in laboratories. Chapter 2 describes precautionary labels, including OSHA, DOT, and other labeling systems, and material safety data sheets. Discussed in chapter 3 is the training and drill of staff, along with a selected bibliography. Chapter 4 covers the physical layout of the laboratory, including protective equipment, communication, ventilation, electrical hazards, storage, and emergencies. The last chapter rounds out the subject of accident prevention with a description of safety inspections and safety audits. Also contained are very extensive appendixes.
Download or read book Guidelines for Inherently Safer Chemical Processes written by CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the second edition several United States jurisdictions have mandated consideration of inherently safer design for certain facilities. Notable examples are the inherently safer technology (IST) review requirement in the New Jersey Toxic Chemical Prevention Act (TCPA), and the Inherently Safer Systems Analysis (ISSA) required by the Contra Costa County (California) Industrial Safety Ordinance. More recently, similar requirements have been proposed at the U.S. Federal level in the pending EPA Risk Management Plan (RMP) revisions. Since the concept of inherently safer design applies globally, with its origins in the United Kingdom, the book will apply globally. The new edition builds on the same philosophy as the first two editions, but further clarifies the concept with recent research, practitioner observations, added examples and industry methods, and discussions of security and regulatory issues. Inherently Safer Chemical Processes presents a holistic approach to making the development, manufacture, and use of chemicals safer. The main goal of this book is to help guide the future state of chemical process evolution by illustrating and emphasizing the merits of integrating inherently safer design process-related research, development, and design into a comprehensive process that balances safety, capital, and environmental concerns throughout the life cycle of the process. It discusses strategies of how to: substitute more benign chemicals at the development stage, minimize risk in the transportation of chemicals, use safer processing methods at the manufacturing stage, and decommission a manufacturing plant so that what is left behind does not endanger the public or environment.
Download or read book Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety written by CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 759 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety provides guidelines for industries that manufacture, consume, or handle chemicals, by focusing on new ways to design, correct, or improve process safety management practices. This new framework for thinking about process safety builds upon the original process safety management ideas published in the early 1990s, integrates industry lessons learned over the intervening years, utilizes applicable "total quality" principles (i.e., plan, do, check, act), and organizes it in a way that will be useful to all organizations - even those with relatively lower hazard activities - throughout the life-cycle of a company.
Download or read book Guidelines for Writing Effective Operating and Maintenance Procedures written by CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EPA investigation of a 1994 chemical plant tragedy concluded that "the explosion resulted from a lack of written safe operating procedures..." While good written procedures can't guarantee zero accidents, they can reduce the number of accidents caused by human error. This new book shows how to remedy this problem through selecting and implementing actions that promote safe, efficient operations and maintenance, improve quality, continuity, profitability and cost control, build upon and record process experience, and promote the concept that operating and maintenance procedures are vital plant components. It includes practical samples of procedure formats, checklists and many references.
