Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Site Activities
Source: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/index.htm
In the past decade, industry, government, and the general public have become increasingly aware of the need to respond to the hazardous waste problem, which has grown steadily over the past 40 years. In 1980, Congress passed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) — the Superfund law-to provide for “liability, compensation, cleanup, and emergency response for hazardous substances released into the
environment and the cleanup of inactive waste disposal sites.”

Water Safety Plan Manual
Introduction
The most effective means of consistently ensuring the safety of a drinking-water supply is through the use of a comprehensive risk assessment and risk management approach that encompasses all steps in water supply from catchment to consumer. In these Guidelines, such approaches are called water safety plans (WSPs)”.

Quantitative Risk Analyses In The Process Industries: Methodology, Case Studies, And Cost-Benefit Analysis
Abstract
This presentation demonstrates the quantitative risk analysis technique as applied to process industries, with references to several case studies. Demonstration of successful execution, how these studies assisted in reducing overall risk, and the cost-benefit aspect will be addressed. Types of hazardous consequences which can contribute to overall risk will be outlined as well, including fire, toxic and explosive effects. The effect of likelihood is addressed in terms of mechanical failure rates, meteorological data, population densities, and ignition probabilities. Quantitative risk analysis is a widely accepted technique within the chemical and process industries. It has been adopted to form legislative requirements in many countries within Europe and Asia. Quantitative risk analysis typically assesses the risk to society as a whole, or to individuals affected by process operations.

Process Safety Management (PSM)
This standard contains requirements for preventing or minimizing the consequences of catastrophic releases of chemicals that are:
- Toxic,
– Reactive,
– Flammable,
– Explosive
▪ These releases may result in toxic, fire, or explosion hazards
▪ A number of catastrophic accidents have occurred resulting in loss of life and great property damage.

Quality And Performance Of Sliced Shook From Small Ponderosa Pine Logs
To determine whether sliced shook from small pine logs is suitable for the manufacture of fruit containers, a quantity of small ponderosa pine logs were heated in water and steam and sliced into side, bottom, and top slats for citrus fruit boxes. The shook was dried in a veneer drier and in a kiln, and the effect of the heating and drying methods on quality was determined.
The sliced shook was made up into citrus boxes that were compared in rough-handling tests with boxes made from sawn slats obtained from the same type of log.
