        1.Anticipation
        
        identification
        
        evaluation
        
        control
      - principle applies well to chronic risk
      - applies to accute risk but its often not happening
  - - - Federal
      - Provincial
      - Municipal
  - - - SHE - safety, health & environment
  - - - acute risk - part 8
        
        enviornmental emergencies
        
        Secction 200(1)(d) gives authority re prevention
    - - one criminal code for the whole country, not different for each province
        
        big companies have good lawyers can easily dispute
        
        enforced by jurisdiction concerned
        
        under the direction of the provincial Attorney General
      - standard of proof: prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that those charged are guilty of the offence
        
        standard of proof more strict than OH&S
  - - - Up to the supervisor to regulate health & safety
        
        no specifics, fine for big company who knows what to do but not for small company who wouldnt know
      - much on administration but not much applicable specific things
      - regulations
        
        nothing indicating how do identify acute risk
        
        allot about chronic risk
        
        not easy to keep track of all regulations
        
        big companies have experts designated to keep track of regulations that need to be followed and notifiying the people in the company
        
        small company - good idea to get together with other chemists or chemical engineers from other companies around etc.to get a feel for how they do things rather than discovering them all for yourself
      - right to refuse work if you think its unsafe (this is employed in most developed countries)
        
        if work is refused, employer can ask someone else but must mention that it was refused - this is to prevent work from coming to a standstill
      - standard of proof: function on strict liability
        
        fill
        
        due diligence
        
        level of judgement, care, prudence, determination, and activity that a person would reasonably be expected to under particular circumstances
  - - - ability of those who have suffered harm to seek redress through civil action in the courst)
      - poor substitue for preventing harm in the first place (except perhaps for lawyers and the media!)
  - - - based on what leaders of the regulated class are already doing
    - - based maybe:
        
        existing good practice
        
        societal goals (assume right technical practices will be developped to reach goals)
    - - what regulated company are to do
        
        regulatory agency must understand the situation well enough to know what to perscrive
        
        leading memebers of a regulated industry generally undesrtand better than a regulator how to control hazards- tough might not always apply this in practice
    - - required level of performance without specifying how it is to be achieved
        
        kind of guidance excecutive managers tend to like
        
        guidance likeley needed where ist is not obvious how to understanf what ref implies and how to comply w. it
      - Ex: section 200 of CEPA - list of chemicals that have threshold quantities that you need to ensure you dont exceed threshold quantities, if you do you need to tell envrionment canada
- - - - envrionement
      - diet
      - psychological effects
        
        can be completely unrelated to the actual physical impacts
        
        Ex: chemical spill, harmless chemical, woman had a heart attack from being so scared
        
        Ex: poeple scared of alian abductions suffering psychological effects as intense as PTSD from war
  - - - Ex: thermal readiation, blasting
- - - - regulation of health & safety is much less rigorous than in US?
- - - - applies to a range of things (not just major safety hazards or chemical industry)
      - Definitions
        
        Process safety
        
        Process safety management
        
        management systems
        
        process = any acitivity involving a highly hazardous chemdical ijncluding any use and storage
      - PSM vs traditional health & safety
        
        focus on individual actions while considering interaction with equipment
        
        occupational health exposure
        
        significant lehal and regulatory mandate

        PSM
        
        objective: to eliminate process related incidents
        
        focuses on process: materials, equipment and systems
        
        individuals are part of the system
        
        This is the part that tends to be overlooked
        
        Whats different
        
        holisitic view of process
        
        management process
