Definition

information content entity that describes one or more potential sources of harm

Explanatory Notes

1) A potential source of harm is commonly referred to as a hazard. 2) A hazard may be a material entity, an information content entity, a process, or an attribute of any of these. 3) A hazard identification result may also include as a part, or may reference, criterion values for a material entity attribute or process parameter that determine when the attribute or parameter is treated as a potential source of harm. These criterion values may be qualitative or quantitative, for example a threshold, a limit, an acceptable range, a variability criterion, or a categorical level such as high, low, or out of tolerance. 4) A process specified as a potential source of harm may be planned or unplanned relative to an applicable plan specification for an execution. This includes omission cases in which a required action does not occur within the time window or at the specified point in the plan. 5) A hazardous situation is distinct from a potential source of harm, because it is a circumstance of exposure in which one or more potential sources of harm can act on a target and is modeled separately

Examples

  • Hazard record that specifies a cytotoxic cleaning agent present in product contact equipment as a potential source of harm that can lead to product quality failure; Hazard record that specifies trace iron concentration in culture medium above 5 ppm as a potential source of harm that can lead to CQA being out of specification; Hazard record that specifies unintended omission of the required sterile filter integrity test as a potential source of harm that can lead to contamination; Hazard record that specifies misaddition of base during pH adjustment as a potential source of harm that can lead to increased aggregation; Hazard record that specifies dissolved oxygen below the approved operating range as a potential source of harm that can lead to reduced cell viability and titer; Hazard record that specifies that high temperature (> 39 Β°C), high pH of the substrate, and low Carbon to Nitrogen ratio in the fed substrate are identified as potential hazards to the formation of a high amount of ammonia; Hazard record that specifies temperature, pressure, and presence of oxygen as potential hazards to the formation of a flammable/explosive mixture inside the batch reactor

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs to create a set of necessary and sufficient conditions.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

HazardSpecification(x) β†’ InformationContentEntity(x) ∧ βˆƒh (HarmSpecification(h) ∧ isAbout(x, h)) ∧ βˆ€y (describes(x, y) β†’ Entity(y) ∧ Β¬SpatialRegion(y))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a β€˜hazard specification’ then x is an β€˜information content entity’ that β€˜is about’ some β€˜harm specification’ and only β€˜describes’ entities that are not β€˜spatial region’

Description Logic

SubClassOf: constr:InformationContentEntity

SubClassOf: constr:describes only (bfo:entity and not bfo:spatial_region)
