Public Awareness Program for Natural Gas Pipeline Safety for linkedinParesh Trivedi
This document discusses public awareness programs for natural gas pipeline safety. It emphasizes that pipeline safety is a shared responsibility and communication is key. Effective communication involves educating, motivating, and enrolling the public, as well as listening and understanding their perspectives. The goal of public awareness programs should be behavior change to improve safety. The document also provides examples of gas explosions and outlines elements that are important for pipeline safety, including educating the public, emergency responders, and excavators on pipeline locations and safety procedures.
The document discusses tools for measuring and applying location efficiency to deliver community benefits. It summarizes research on the relationship between density, transportation choices, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Areas with higher density and more transit options tend to have lower VMT. The document also discusses how accounting for combined housing and transportation costs (H+T) provides a truer measure of affordability than only considering housing costs. Analyzing locations based on their H+T costs can help address issues like foreclosures, inform planning, and promote more sustainable development patterns. Case studies of developments in Illinois that received funding from the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) show that those near transit tended to have lower transportation costs.
This document discusses approaches to measuring government productivity. It describes three types of productivity measures: operational measures focused on internal efficiency; direct output measures of final outputs divided by resources; and outcome measures addressing a program's effects on society. Specifying and measuring outputs is challenging for heterogeneous services and those where outputs are difficult to define. Quality and service level changes must also be accounted for. The document provides examples for education, noting issues defining the unit of output and disentangling contributions of different education providers.

Mono-cropping is endangering genetic diversity while a small number of plants now supply most of humanity's food. Water shortages are a growing problem, with over 3 billion people projected to lack adequate drinking water by 2035. Non-renewable resources like metals are being depleted, which could impact technologies. The paradigm is shifting from viewing nature as unlimited to recognizing natural resources as limiting, requiring more sustainable approaches.

Domestic and international cooperation in the field of contaminated-site management has increased dramatically in the past decade. The expected benefits of this cooperation include the reduction of duplication in remediation efforts, the coordination of contaminated-site research, improved synergy between various stakeholders, enhanced policy development, and better information dissemination and technology transfer. This article identifies and briefly discusses key domestic and international collaborations, partnerships, and networks relating to contaminated-site management and remediation. Also provided is information on how the forums can be accessed. Common themes identified across the forums discussed in this article include (1) the development and demonstration of innovative technologies, (2) the use of risk assessment, (3) the use of toxicology, bioavailability, and ecotoxicity testing, and (4) the increasing need to find holistic approaches for managing contaminated sites, such as guaranteed remediation programs and transfer of environment liability, and the need for understanding implications of remediation financing mechanisms.
Simcoe County - Infrastructure Table - RBA slide-deckMahendra Patel
This document provides an overview of Results-Based Accountability (RBA), which has two parts: performance accountability and population accountability. Performance accountability focuses on the well-being of populations served by programs, agencies, and service systems. Population accountability focuses on the well-being of whole populations at the community, city, and larger levels. The document outlines key RBA concepts like results, indicators, and performance measures. It also provides examples of applying RBA frameworks to measure outcomes in different domains like education, health, public safety, and the private sector.
The document discusses a cafe SWOT analysis. Politically, local governments have strict consumer protection laws that must be followed. Economically, rising production and supply costs could increase coffee prices and competition. Existing competitors like CBD Cafe have skilled staff but rely on a single supplier, while potential competitors like Cafe OZ have strong procurement but little experience. The analysis examines competitors, risks, costs, and benefits to provide due diligence for decision making.
This document discusses various types of development indicators and aid, including:
1. Bilateral, multilateral, and non-governmental aid which can come in the form of money, goods, or services with some aid including conditions.
2. Employment structure varies between countries and changes over time, from primarily primary sector to incorporating more secondary and tertiary sectors.
3. Case studies examine how economic activity affects the environment and what governments and groups are doing to reduce pollution and encourage sustainability.
2nd Annual Compliance & Government Investigations UpdateBass, Berry & Sims
This document summarizes a presentation on responding effectively to government investigations and improving compliance. It discusses the top 10 mistakes companies make in investigations and provides an overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It then outlines a step-by-step approach to creating an anti-corruption compliance program and identifies key risk areas and red flags such as gifts, customs processes, licensing and third parties. The document provides strategies for negotiating civil and criminal resolutions.
This document provides an overview of carbon credits and the carbon markets ecosystem. It discusses that carbon markets can help enhance climate action by targeting lowest-cost emissions reductions. Carbon credits financially incentivize emission reduction activities and address mismatches in resources and timing needed to reach net-zero goals. The document outlines key elements of high-integrity carbon credits, including additionality, permanence, quantification, and sustainable development benefits. It also notes risks to companies from improper use of offsets and calls for understanding both potential and limitations of this tool to support increased integrity in voluntary carbon markets.
The Center for OSH Sustainability was launched in 2012 as a means to show stakeholders how occupational health and safety initiatives support sustainability. The business model defines how risk governane can be applied to identify, assess and evaluate, commmunicate, manage, and control occupational health and safety hazards in the workplace and off-the-job during recreational and sporting activities. The 24/7 approach to safety and health provides a better culture, performance, and productiivty in the lives of workers and their families. The support within the organization is transformed outside the organization so workers return home and back to work safely and healthy.

10. Top Ten Recommendations for
Property Managers
1) Property Audits: Conduct regular property audits
in order to contain the progress of a hoarder and/
or recognize potential problem areas that may
affect the safety of others due to a fire or
traumatic event.
2) Semi-gloss Paint: Semi-gloss paint is easy to clean
in comparison to flat paint. Blood and other
contaminates can be more easily cleaned off of
semi-gloss paint contributing to lower labor costs
in cleaning.
3) Intact Caulk Lines: Biohazard remediation costs
can be exponentially lower due to an intact caulk
line (around toilets and all baseboards against tile)
that was able to contain spilled fluids and keep
these fluids from penetrating underneath.
4) Response Company: Research compliant, capable
companies that specialize in facility disinfection
and/or biohazard remediation and are licensed to
transfer biohazard medical waste in your area.
Search the company name online for
reviews and/or issues.

5) Action Plan: Craft an action plan for support of
normal business and maintenance operations
during the incident and its investigation.
6) On-site Counseling: Prepare for any counseling
that may be needed by any employee or resident
impacted by the event.
7) Communication: Prepare to support property
owner and/or corporate office communication.
8) Media Cooperation: Prepare to field media
questions or managing their presence on the
property due to an incident or disease outbreak.
9) Victim’s Liaison: Research your local police
victim’s liaison to communicate this contact
information to any potential victim of an incident
on your property or elsewhere.
10) Insurance: Require a renter’s insurance policy
with each tenant to mitigate costs to the property
owner.
11. Top Ten Recommendations for
Insurance Adjusters
1) Request a Comparative Bid: As an adjuster, you may
be presented a bill for biohazard remediation services
that is astronomical in cost when compared to the
original quote or expected costs. There are
experienced companies that provide comparative bids
for services to ensure that fair rates are paid for the
biohazard remediation services by the insurer.
2) Licensed Company: Review the company credentials
to ensure that they are licensed to transfer biomedical
waste (blood and body fluids) from the project site to
the disposal facility (for example: Texas – TCEQ
Transport License). Search the company name
online for reviews and/or issues.
3) Identify Duplicate Chemicals and/or Equipment
Charges: Duplicate charges may be accidental or
otherwise. For example, if the equipment and PPE
are disinfected and included in labor and billable
chemicals then why would there be a separate line
item charge to disinfect the same items when these
inputs are accounted for in the labor and billable
chemicals line items. Make sure line item disinfection
charges are not double charged in separate
disinfectant and labor line item amounts already
billed to perform the disinfection.
4) Response Company: Research compliant, capable
companies that specialize in facility disinfection and/
or biohazard remediation and are licensed to transfer
biohazard medical waste in your area.

5) Action Plan: Craft an action plan should you need to
visit the site of a traumatic event in an insured
property. Have PPE and disinfectant available in your
response vehicle for respiratory protection and to
disinfect your shoes or clothing.
6) Client Counseling: Prepare for any counseling that
may be needed when processing the claim for those
impacted by the event.
7) Communication: Perform a thorough review before
sending client communications. Support from your
remediation contractor may have photos that are
useful for your claim processing but may be very
disturbing to your client.
8) Media Cooperation: Prepare to field media questions
or managing corporate communications on the issue.
9) Victim’s Liaison: Research your local police victim’s
liaison to communicate this contact information.
10) Reasonable Services: Are the tasks performed in the
billing reasonable and easy to explain in regards to the
on-site challenges approached. Educate yourself in
best practices and compliance.

(approximately 15% of total completed projects) from
2005-2015. The city case study for Houston is limited to one
company’s statistics. The composition of affected material was
based on an allocation across different materials multiplied by
