The proof that systematic documentation of activities was performed in a way that allows an auditor to confirm compliance with required or desired organizational behavior.
An inspection of a plant or process unit, drawings, procedures, emergency plans, and/or management systems, etc., usually by an independent, impartial team. (See "Safety Review" for contrast.)
A systematic, independent review to verify conformance with prescribed standards of care using a well-defined review process to ensure consistency and to allow the auditor to reach defensible conclusions.
Random and rapid fluctuations in wind components, which determine the rate of turbulent dispersion or spread of the cloud. Typically expressed by the turbulent velocity (averaging about 1 m/s), which is the standard deviation of rapid fluctuations in wind speed.
A measure of the degree of atmospheric turbulence commonly defined in terms of the vertical temperature gradient. In neutral stability the gradient is equivalent to the Adiabatic Lapse Rate (ALR). Stable atmospheric conditions refer to a gradient less than the ALR (ultimately to a temperature...
A risk that has been identified, analyzed, and accepted at the appropriate management level, unanalyzed or unknown risks fall under oversight and omissions by default.
