ECOFLO- Hazardous Waste Management Process Trevor Shelton
This document summarizes ECOFLO's waste profiling, laboratory testing, transportation, emergency response, manifesting, waste tracking, invoicing, and health and safety procedures for handling hazardous waste. Key points include that ECOFLO will provide compatibility testing of waste streams, transportation via their trucks or subcontractors, 24/7 emergency response within 2 hours, state-approved manifests, waste tracking via barcode system, and health and safety training including HAZWOPER for employees.
The document outlines the key elements of the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard including:
1) The PSM standard applies to processes involving certain chemicals above threshold quantities and requires facilities to implement 14 elements to prevent accidental releases.
2) The 14 elements include procedures for employee participation, process hazard analysis, operating procedures, contractor management, emergency planning, and compliance audits.
3) The goal of the PSM standard is to ensure facilities have the necessary information to safely manage processes involving highly hazardous chemicals and prevent accidental releases.
An introduction to EECO2-Energy Efficiency Consultancy LimitedEECO2
EECO2 is an energy efficiency consultancy that offers services to reduce HVAC energy costs in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. They have over 100 combined years of experience in design, construction, and operation of technical facilities. Their approach involves identifying opportunities to reduce air changes and optimize HVAC systems through workshops with clients. Case studies show they have helped clients in multiple countries reduce energy costs by 10-45% while maintaining product quality standards.
Improper management of highly hazardous chemicals, including toxic, reactive or flammable liquids, can cause accidental releases and emergency responses. OSHA’s Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard (29 CFR 1910.119) regulates the management of highly hazardous chemicals. Violations can carry fines of up to $126,000. Do you have a PSM program in place?
This document outlines a 4-phase approach to determining process safety key performance indicators (KPIs) using the BowTie methodology. Phase 1 involves setting up BowTie diagrams using risk assessment reports. Phase 2 selects leading and lagging KPIs linked to barriers in the BowTie diagrams. Phase 3 establishes criteria and reporting standards for the KPIs. Phase 4 integrates incident data into the BowTie diagrams and starts an improvement cycle. The approach aims to comply with legislation and standards while identifying relevant process safety KPIs in a bottom-up manner tied to an organization's safety management system.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

How do we minimise health risks of
occupants to air quality hazards?
After the air has entered the building one the biggest contributors to the air quality will be the
air conditioning and exhaust systems (HVAC), including filtration. These systems can effect air
quality both through performance and hygiene.
Other indoor factors include;
• Occupant activity
• Occupancy levels
• Occupant health (i.e.. Communicable illnesses)
• Cleanliness of the spaces
• Maintenance practices (e.g. cleaning, painting, repairs or refurbishment works)
• Space and adjoining space uses (e.g. isolation rooms, waste or cleaning chemicals
storage)
• Materials and furnishings present (i.e.. VOC producing)

Practice Guidelines
Defines hygiene levels and the minimal acceptable
system hygiene standards for general use and
special use HVAC systems.
11
CLEAN LIGHT HEAVY
High Levels of visible dust, debris, fibres or any
other contamination that cover the component.
Component surface is barely if not at all visible
beneath the contamination.
MODERATE
Visible levels of general dust with varying
density and limited areas of accumulated fine
debris. Component surface is still visible in
some areas beneath the fine dust but isolated
sections may not be.
Only slight visible layer of fine general dust
consistent over the component surface with no
variations in density. Component surface remains
visible beneath the fine layer of dust.
No visible dust, debris or other contamination

• Standardising maintenance report findings.
• Accurately identifying air quality hazards and nominating them to be
actioned.
• Maintaining historical records that could identify a systemic cause for
reoccurring hygiene issues.

QUALITY ASSURANCE CHECKS
To be conducted by Indoor Air Quality Scientist.
The purpose of the Quality Assurance inspections is to make sure that the ratings of the
AHUs and internal components which are conducted on a monthly basis are actually correct
10% randomly selected per building and technician on a quarterly basis.
10% of non-critical annual audits per building and technician once annually.
