Internal Audits -part 1

1. Internal audits are scheduled by the management representative. These audits are scheduled based on how well the area to be audited is doing (status), the effect a problem would have on the area if it was allowed to go on until a problem was detected (importance, risks, and/or significance) and how well the area did on the last audit. At a minimum, audits will be conducted on an annual basis and at a maximum audits will be conducted quarterly. The audit criteria are the clauses or sections of the applicable standard and/or the documents defining the activities or processes being audited. Scope tends to be based upon the sections of the applicable standard in use, but may be based upon a defined area or process.

2. While maintaining a "big picture" view of the process, the audit team (may also be an individual auditor) develops an understanding of the service or product provided by the process and the inputs from other processes. This perspective helps develop an audit plan focused on performance, instead of simply verifying a document is being followed.

3. Work with management and those responsible for environmental and/or occupational health and safety requirements applicable to the area being audited to determine if there are compliance or performance considerations needing attention. If environmental or occupational health and safety performance/compliance requirements are applicable, add these requirements to the plan.

4. Based on the processes/areas determined to be part of the audit, request copies of the applicable documents. These documents may include:

· The environmental, occupational health and safety, and/or quality manual,

· Procedures, work instructions, or forms supporting the activity/area, and

· Peripheral documents (standards/regulations, specifications, procedures, previous audit results, corrective/preventive actions issued since the last audit, etc.), as needed.

5. Document review and audit planning may be accomplished prior to and/or during the audit. The auditor uses the documents to formulate the questions to be asked and evidence to be reviewed. This plan may be a documented plan (an ISO 9001 audit checklist or an intregrated audit checklist , a highlighted document depicting questions to be asked/evidence to be reviewed, etc.) or may simply be a copy of the applicable standard, regulation, or management system document. In any case, the intent is for the auditor to familiarize himself/herself with the activities/processes to be audited and any applicable statutory/regulatory requirements associated with the process. The main thing to remember is, this is what might be seen not what will be seen (as it is possible that what is happening does not match the documents but the process is working). In other words, we need to stay open minded to allow the evidence to speak for itself..

6. The audit plan is the checklist, itinerary, or other such plan defining the evidence needing to be seen so we can come to a conclusion about the performance of the process. The Big Picture Audit report may be used to pull together requirements related to ISO 9001:2008.

7. Greet area personnel, helping them feel comfortable with the audit process and powering down your notes. (example: "Hi, I am here to perform an audit of ____ and I need your help. What I mean by that is I need you to speak on behalf of the process because you know what really happens. This will help us make sure the procedures are right. I will be taking notes along the way. My notes are not about you, but about the process. If there are things that need to be fixed or improvement opportunities, I will be writing those down so we can give management the information they need to take action.") REMEMBER: you (the Auditor) are not there to resolve any issues so do not make promises as to how or what will be fixed.

8. Ask open-ended questions! We are looking for evidence related to performance and behavior. In order to find this and to make sure we are focused on what we need to see, open-ended questions help us ask the witness to show us how something works and what the results are. Also, make sure your questions are about the evidence that proves or disproves a process is working. While maintaining focus on performance and behavior, be sure to evaluate these things along the way (as the opportunity arises):

o Familiarity with the policy and objectives (can the employee describe how they help the City of Dallas live up to the policy and objectives?).

o Documents/records needed to support the process are available/retrievable, identifiable/legible, and are controlled as defined in document and records control procedures.

o Personnel involved with the process appear to have received the education, skills, experience, or training needed to ensure the process is performing effectively (assessed along the way, with the conclusion reached at the end of the audit).

o Resources need to ensure the policy, objectives, and activities or processes audited are and will continue to be effective/drive performance are in place (assessed along the way, with the conclusion reached at the end of the audit).

9. CRITERIA:

o  means what we said in a document is actually happening, meets the requirements, and is effective.

o  means what we said in a document is not happening, the document does not meet all of the requirements, and/or is not effective.

o  means we are not sure how we feel about what we see and probably need to ask additional questions to be able to come to a conclusion.

REMEMBER: Avoid rabbit trails (issues involving processes other than the one the Auditor is currently auditing), staying away from discomforts not directly related to the audit, unless it is obvious a nonconformance or ineffective condition related to the area or process being audited exists.

10. Make sure any findings are based upon facts not assumptions. Make note of the condition, powering down your notes so the witness does not think it is about him/her…..Go to part 3

Internal Audits 3

11.Remember, if you see something positive that is noteworthy, write it down. This is the only time you write someone's name on your audit report (unless their name is the sample, such as those you sample for training records). If your note taking skills are good enough to capture the evidence of conformance, that is great! At a minimum, make sure your results reflect what you audited (with the assumption being that no findings means the area/process is conforming and effective).

12.Ask additional questions or ask to see more evidence that will allow you to deal with your discomfort. Make sure they understand what you are uncomfortable with. This may help them with the answer. Be careful not to let your discomfort influence them into making process changes they do not need. REMEMBER: Make sure you are adding value, not imposing beliefs.

13.If your discomfort is something you feel will be an issue in the future, be sure to add it to your audit as a comment or observation. This will tell the next auditor what they should follow up on and may help area management recognize an opportunity for improvement, as any action they take would be preventive action. Work with affected personnel and area management to reach an agreement on the findings. While this may not be achievable (they do not like your results), try to obtain agreement, powering down the process along the way. If you still feel the finding is legitimate, there may be a need to agree to disagree with your findings continue to exist.

14.Once you are finished understanding the evidence of the process and whether that evidence reflects sound business practices, review the documents defining the process to see if the match up with what was seen. Any variation needs to be understood and worked through with area management to determine where there is a need to update the document (if it is found that the other things included in a procedure are not needed or there are additional steps that are not in the document but are needed) or a need to work with area personnel to ensure we are following practices deemed important.

15.The audit team or auditor summarizes the audit and any findings, presenting the recorded results to area management and/or the management representative. If the results are presented to the management representative, he or she reports the results to area management.

16.CRITERIA:

A nonconformance was identified and will require corrective action?
A potential problem was identified and needs preventive action?
An opportunity for improvement was identified that could make us better (make more money or spend less money)?

If the issue(s) was able to be resolved before the end of the audit or it is believed the follow-up at the next audit will report on the results (Audit Report should be flagged to ensure follow-up), the audit may be closed out and the Audit Schedule is updated as needed (see note 1). Records (audit results, including any records of follow-up) are maintained as defined in records controls section of the Master Control Plan. The management representative summarizes the results of audits for management review.

17.Area management facilitates corrective action, preventive action, and/or any other improvement opportunity per Improvement Systems. This would include actions taken by area management (without undue delay) and follow-up of action taken. The records generated as a result of corrective/preventive action are maintained as defined in the records section of the Master Control Plan.

18.The audit team, auditor, or audit coordinator, work with area management to determine when to verify any actions taken (allowing enough time for effective implementation), closing out findings (reporting the results) that have been dealt with by auditing those issues in a manner similar to the original audit (following the methods established).

Health and Safety Manual

2016-11-09T18:53:00.015+02:00

How to Write a Health and Safety Manual

The workplace safety manual is a volume of information, procedures, and policies put in place to ensure the safe operation of equipment, as well as safe contact within the work environment.
The health and safety policy will clearly outline who is to execute certain safety procedures, as well as when and how they are to be carried out.
Health and safety manuals are not overly complicated documents and can be written personally if the right resources are utilised to ensure they are complete and correct. The health and safety manual should clearly define your commitment to workplace health and safety, as well as identify tasks associated with maintaining a safe, professional environment
A good safety manual is fundamental in safely and responsibly managing a job site. Employees of the company will regularly consult the manual to check on company policy, find instructions and to ensure they are in compliance with company procedures.

Steps for Drafting a Health and Safety Manual.
When drafting your company's health and safety manual, it is important to keep in mind that it is not only employees that will read it. Regulators will also take a look at the document, so it is imperative to include all pertinent information both parties will need to reference.

1. Write the manual for those who will use it regularly
The manual should address the people who will be using it on a regular basis. Use the following tips to help make certain your procedures are easy to understand:

· Use short, direct sentences, short paragraphs and simple words to keep the reader’s attention. Make sure all acronyms are explained either in an introductory section or by introducing them into the text using parenthesis. Be sure to do the same for any symbols used.

· · Avoid technical jargon. Use technical terms when necessary, but be sure to provide clear definitions to avoid unnecessary confusion.

2. Prioritize the manual’s content
Content within the manual should be written in a clear and direct manner, with the most critical safety concerns being the central focus. The manual should begin by presenting and explaining any preliminary issues before leading into the main issues and follow up with any remaining concerns or information.

The layout should be easy to read and understand. The documents should be compiled using proper margins and spacing, with headings and subheadings to identify text groupings and various topics. The beginning of your manual should offer a table of contents as well as an index, and images and drawings used throughout provide excellent visual aids when strategically placed. Documents should look professional and simple, using basic black and white text with minimal shading. Use of boldface and italics is suitable for calling attention to areas of importance.

3. Gather industry standards and follow government regulations
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed standards for specific areas such as food safety management and risk management. These standards will provide you a starting place to develop your manuals.

Certain government organizations, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has stipulations for practices and procedures that must be adhered to. Be sure you are informed correctly about what manuals your business requires, and what should be contained within them. Failure to comply with these regulations can have serious consequences, including lawsuits and in some cases criminal charges.

4. Be sure the job is done correctly
With health and safety manuals being such an important aspect of a company’s structure, it is vital that they are completed correctly. Taking the time to educate yourself on the guidelines as well as taking advantage of the available resources can provide significant help. If you’re unsure as to where to begin, there are professionals that can help you develop the strongest manuals possible, providing your employees with a strong tool to use in doing their job. By allowing a professional to handle the task you can be sure you have a compliant, well-drafted document.

conducting an audit and completing an Audit Checklist

2015-01-12T21:01:00.004+02:00

How-to guide for conducting an audit and completing an Audit Checklist.

M measuring the environmental management system [EMS], occupational health and safety management system [OHS] and/or quality management sys definition processes to demonstrate the ability of the processes to achieve planned results),
Verifying the EMS, OHS, and/or QMS:

is who we are (planned arrangements)
is what we want to be (requirements established by the organization)
fulfills the sections of ISO 9001:2008 [QMS], ISO14001:2004 [EMS], and/or OHSAS 18001:2007 [OHS] called for by the applicable audit report or audit schedule

Ensuring the system is driving our behavior (effectively implemented and maintained) in an objective and impartial manner (which is what this procedure does)

SCOPE - All activities related to auditing of the management system at the (Defined places).

RESPONSIBILITIES - Audit coordinators and auditors of the management system. Additional responsibilities and authority may be included below.

PROCEDURE
(process flow with associated notes shown below)

–Audit Audit Plan

Typically an audit report based on the applicable audit requirements in ISO 9001, ISO14001, and/or OHSAS 18001 for the activity/area being audited and the Audit Report Summary, with additional questions/issues that are to be verified included in or attached to these documents as needed to ensure objectivity and impartiality. May also be a marked-up copy of the procedure/process documentation, identifying evidence to be collected to verify conformance.

–AuditorAudit Coordinator

Person with responsibility/authority for scheduling audits, selecting Auditors (ensuring objectivity and impartiality), and ensuring issues raised are effectively addressed.

–Effectiveness

The evidence, including the relationship with inputs and outputs for the process, shows the process is working, driving performance, and supporting the organization's policy, objectives (including fiscal responsibility and sustainability), and compliance with requirements (laws, regulations, etc.).

– Finding

An issue needing resolution. It could be an actual problem (something requiring corrective action), a potential problem (something requiring preventive action), or any other opportunity for improvement (including those making us better and/or helping us be more fiscally responsible). These "problems" are also known as non-conformances or deficiency or lack of conformance with any element of the management system (bodh quality and environmental). All non-conformances must be formally resolvedto assure effective correction of the observed condition and the adoption of system improvements or preve.tive measures to reduce or preclude the likelihood of recurrence.

Types of findings are:

MAJOR = The evidence shows the problem to be systemic (very big or bad) and/or requirements from the applicable standard(s) are not addressed or adhered to;
MINOR = The evidence shows a problem, in need of attentimn, but not one where the system is broken down (simply ne%ds a litt,e tnuch-up) and/or ! requirement or two from the applicable standard(s) are not completely addressed or adhered to; and
COMMENT, OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT, or OBSERVATION = May be a praise or may be pointing out things that could use a little work (correction, preventive action, or opportunities for improvement).

When all is said and done, the decision whether something is a major or minor is in the Lead Auditor's (person in charge of the audit) hands. The tendency is to use "the benefit of doubt" (things start as a minor and escalate as supported by evidence) as the rule of thumb. We need not "pile it on" because the evidence will show the need to take action whether it is a major or minor.

–Internal Auditor

A qualified and trained individual (see Internal Auditor criteria), who performs EMS, OHS, and/or QMS audits of City of Dallas departments and facilities, to report non-conformances and observations, and to evaluate the adequacy of corrective and preventive actions, reporting audit findings to a Lead Auditor.

-Lead Auditor

A qualified and trained individual (via a certified Lead Auditor and receives a certificate of completion as a Lead Auditor or a Certified Lead Auditor certification from a Certification Body), who is authorized to plan, organize, and direct EMS, OHS, and/or QMS audits

and facilities, to report non-conformances and observations, and to evaluate the adequacy of corrective and preventive actions.

-Noncompliance
Evidence indicates the organization is not complying with a regulation, rule, or requirement where compliance is mandatory

- Nonconformance

Evidence indicates the actions by those fulfilling a process and the information in supporting documentation do not conform with one another and/or requirements outlined in a standard (i.e., ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, etc.).

-Objectivity and Impartiality

An expectation of both Auditors and the process they employ. To be objective and impartial means to let the evidence speak for itself. Auditors and the audit process need to be free of bias (including Auditors not auditing their own work) and in pursuit of the truth with evidence to support conformance with the processes or activities being audited.

Risk assessment: addition explaining

* After that the process of defining activities is a schedule of all the potential risks in the workplace which is known in the process of definition of risk is then a rate of gravity of each element of risk identified a process of risk assessment and is found rate risk through the creation of the product of what the following:

risk

Probability x exposure rate x frequency =

* After a dangerous rate move to the next column in the table and evaluate the extent of our control on the risk through our review of our procedures in place preventive and is it sufficient to reduce the risk or not:

In the event that it is sufficient that mean that we are not in need of additional procedures (put mark Yes or Y§

If it is not enough This means that we need a preventive action or additional treatment (we do not sign or No§

* In the bottom of the table is calibrated degree of risk that have been created with standard rates of serious and that determine the type of action to be taken about it, and these standards are:

RR ( risk rate) = 100 ° (ie, that the risks that may result from an accident would be catastrophic and may result in many deaths or heavy material losses, which amount to millions of dollar

RR = 40 ° (mean that the risks that may result from an accident would be very large and may result in some deaths and material losses of up to half a million U.S. dollars

RR = 15 ° (ie a major accident and material losses of up to fifty thousand dollars

RR = 7 ° (serious injury and significant material losses amounting to five thousand dollars

RR = 3 degrees (and the inability of simple physical damage up to five hundred dollars

RR = 1 degree (first aid and minor material damage

• The transfer of risk with high rates (which are out of control) of the table and write it down directly below the table (in the specific fields) and to identify actions to be taken about it. And determine whether there was a need for further investigations

• This risk is also transferred to its plan for occupational safety and
health so as to establish procedures and goals and metrics necessary
to measure success in achieving them.

Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

2012-04-10T15:07:00.000+03:00

Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

INTRODUCTION

Many industrial and laboratory operations require the use of compressed gases for a variety of different operations.

Compressed gases present a unique hazard. Depending on the particular gas, there is a potential for simultaneous exposure to both mechanical and chemical hazards. Gases may be:

• Flammable or combustible

• Explosive

• Corrosive

• Poisonous

• Inert

• or a combination of hazards

If the gas is flammable, flash points lower than room temperature compounded by high rates of diffusion present a danger of fire or explosion.

Additional hazards of reactivity and toxicity of the gas, as well as asphyxiation, can be caused by high concentrations of even "harmless" gases such as nitrogen.

Since the gases are contained in heavy, highly pressurized metal containers, the large amount of potential energy resulting from compression of the gas makes the cylinder a potential rocket or fragmentation bomb.

Careful procedures are necessary for handling the various compressed gases, the cylinders containing the compressed gases, regulators or valves used to control gas flow, and the piping used to confine gases during flow.

IDENTIFICATION

The contents of any compressed gas cylinder must be clearly identified. Such identification should be stenciled or stamped on the cylinder or a label. Commercially available three-part tag systems may also be used for identification and inventory.

Always read the label!

No compressed gas cylinder should be accepted for use that does not legibly identify its contents by name. If the labeling on a cylinder becomes unclear or an attached tag is defaced to the point the contents cannot be identified, the cylinder should be marked "contents unknown" and returned directly to the manufacturer.

Never rely on the color of the cylinder for identification. Color coding is not reliable because cylinder colors may vary with the supplier. Additionally, labels on caps have little value because caps are interchangeable

All gas lines leading from a compressed gas supply should be clearly labeled to identify the gas, the laboratory or area served, and the relevant emergency telephone numbers.

The labels should be color coded to distinguish hazardous gases (such as flammable, toxic, or corrosive substances) (e.g., a yellow background and black letters).

Signs should be conspicuously posted in areas where flammable compressed gases are stored, identifying the substances and appropriate precautions (e.g., HYDROGEN - FLAMMABLE GAS - NO SMOKING - NO OPEN FLAMES).

HANDLING & USE Compressed Gas Cylinder

Gas cylinders must be secured at all times to prevent tipping.

Cylinders may be attached to a bench top, individually to the wall, placed in a holding cage, or have a non-tip base attached. Chains or sturdy straps may be used to secure them.

If a leaking cylinder is discovered, move it to a safe place (if it is safe to do so) and inform the Environmental Health & Safety Department. You should also call the vendor as soon as possible.

Under no circumstances
should any attempt be made to repair
a cylinder or valve

Standard cylinder-valve outlet connections have been devised by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) to prevent mixing of incompatible gases.

The outlet threads used vary in diameter; some are internal, some are external; some are right-handed, some are left-handed.

In general, right-handed threads are used for non-fuel and water-pumped gases, while left-handed threads are used for fuel and oil-pump gases.

To minimize undesirable connections, only CGA standard combinations of valves and fittings should be used in compressed gas installations; the assembly of miscellaneous parts should be avoided.

The threads on cylinder valves, regulators and other fittings should be examined to ensure they correspond and are undamaged.

Cylinders should be placed with the valve accessible at all times. The main cylinder valve should be closed as soon as it is no longer necessary that it be open (i.e., it should never be left open when the equipment is unattended or not operating).

This is necessary not only for safety when the cylinder is under pressure, but also to prevent the corrosion and contamination resulting from diffusion of air and moisture into the cylinder after it has been emptied.

Cylinders are equipped with either a hand wheel or stem valve. For cylinders equipped with a stem valve, the valve spindle key should remain on the stem while the cylinder is in service.

Only wrenches or tools provided by the cylinder supplier should be used to open or close a valve. At no time should pliers be used to open a cylinder valve.

Some valves may require washers; this should be checked before the regulator is fitted.

Cylinder valves should be opened slowly. Oxygen cylinder valves should be opened all the way.

Open up the oxygen cylinder valve stem just a crack. Once the needle on the high pressure gauge has stopped, open up the valve all the way. This back-seats the valve.

Oxygen cylinders must have the valve opened up all the way because of the high pressure in the cylinder. There is a back-seating valve on the oxygen cylinder. This prevents the high-pressure gas from leaking out through the threaded stem.

When opening the valve on a cylinder containing an irritating or toxic gas, the user should position the cylinder with the valve pointing away from them and warn those working nearby.

Cylinders containing flammable gases such as hydrogen or acetylene must not be stored in close proximity to open flames, areas where electrical sparks are generated, or where other sources of ignition may be present.

Cylinders containing acetylene shall never be stored on their side.

An open flame shall never be used to detect leaks of flammable gases. Hydrogen flame is invisible, so "feel" for heat.

One common practice is to use a natural bristle broom to "sweep" the air in front of you.

All cylinders containing flammable gases should be stored in a well-ventilated area.

Oxygen cylinders, full or empty, shall not be stored in the same vicinity as flammable gases.

The proper storage for oxygen cylinders requires that a minimum of 20 feet be maintained between flammable gas cylinders and oxygen cylinders or the storage areas be separated, at a minimum, by a fire wall five feet high with a fire rating of 0.5 hours.

Greasy and oily materials shall never be stored around oxygen; nor should oil or grease be applied to fittings.

Regulators are gas specific and not necessarily interchangeable!

Always make sure that the regulator and valve fittings are compatible.

After the regulator is attached, the cylinder valve should be opened just enough to indicate pressure on the regulator gauge (no more than one full turn) and all the connections checked with a soap solution for leaks.

Never use oil or grease on the regulator of a cylinder valve.

If there is any question as to the suitability of a regulator for a particular gas, check with the Environmental Health & Safety Department or call your vendor for advice.

The following rules should always be followed in regards to piping:

v Plastic piping shall not be used for any portion of a high pressure system.

v Do not use cast iron pipe for chlorine.

v Do not conceal distribution lines where a high concentration of a leaking hazardous gas can build up and cause an accident.

v Copper piping shall not be used for acetylene.

The following rules should always be followed in regards to piping:

v Distribution lines and their outlets should be clearly labeled as to the type of gas contained.

v Piping systems should be inspected for leaks on a regular basis.

v Special attention should be given to fittings as well as possible cracks that may have developed

A cylinder should never be emptied to a pressure lower than 172 kPa (25 psi/in2) (the residual contents may become contaminated if the valve is left open).

When work involving a compressed gas is completed, the cylinder must be turned off, and if possible, the lines bled.

When the cylinder needs to be removed or is empty, all valves shall be closed, the system bled, and the regulator removed.

The valve cap shall be replaced, the cylinder clearly marked as "empty," and returned to a storage area for pickup by the supplier.

Empty and full cylinders should be stored in separate areas.

Where the possibility of flow reversal exists, the cylinder discharge lines should be equipped with approved check valves to prevent inadvertent contamination of cylinders connected to a closed system.

Sucking back" is particularly troublesome where gases are used as reactants in a closed system.

A cylinder in such a system should be shut off and removed from the system when the pressure remaining in the cylinder is at least 172 kPa (25 psi/in2).

If there is a possibility that the container has been contaminated, it should be so labeled and returned to the supplier.

Liquid bulk cylinders may be used in laboratories where a high volume of gas is needed.

These cylinders usually have a number of valves on the top of the cylinder.

All valves should be clearly marked as to their function.

These cylinders will also vent their contents when a preset internal pressure is reached, therefore, they should be stored or placed in service where there is adequate ventilation.

Always use safety glasses (preferably with a face shield) when handling and using compressed gases, especially when connecting and disconnecting compressed gas regulators and lines.

All compressed gas cylinders, including lecture-size cylinders, must be returned to the supplier when empty or no longer in use.

TRANSPORTATION OF CYLINDERS

The cylinders that contain compressed gases are primarily shipping containers and should not be subjected to rough handling or abuse.

Such misuse can seriously weaken the cylinder and render it unfit for further use or transform it into a rocket having sufficient thrust to drive it through masonry walls.

To protect the valve during transportation, the cover cap should be screwed on hand tight and remain on until the cylinder is in place and ready for use.
Cylinders should never be rolled or dragged.
When moving large cylinders, they should be strapped to a properly designed wheeled cart to ensure stability.
Only one cylinder should be handled (moved) at a time.
