Definition

process in which one or more persons, property, or an environment is exposed to one or more potential sources of harm

Explanatory Notes

Potential source of harm is commonly known as a hazard and is in this case an entity that is described by a hazard specification

Examples

  • sampling a cell culture bioreactor while the operator and culture are exposed to contamination and pressurized-fluid hazards; performing an aseptic media transfer while the product-contact path is exposed to possible microbial ingress; conducting a viral inactivation hold while personnel, equipment, and product are exposed to hazardous low-pH conditions; transferring bulk drug substance between vessels while product, equipment, and the surrounding area are exposed to leakage or contamination hazards; initiating a clean-in-place cycle while personnel and equipment are exposed to corrosive cleaning chemicals; retrieving cryogenic cell bank vials while operators and storage materials are exposed to liquid nitrogen and extreme cold; refilling an NMR cryostat with liquid helium while operators, equipment, and the room environment are exposed to cryogenic, asphyxiation, and quench-related hazards.

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

HazardousSituation(x) β†’ Process(x) ∧ ((βˆƒc βˆƒs (Continuant(c) ∧ HazardSpecification(s) ∧ hasParticipantAtSomeTime(x, c) ∧ (describedBy(c, s)))) ∨ (βˆƒp βˆƒs (Process(p) ∧ HazardSpecification(s) ∧ occurrentPartOf(x, p) ∧ (describedBy(p, s)))))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a β€˜hazardous situation’ then x is a β€˜process’ and either x β€˜has participant at some time’ some β€˜continuant’ that is β€˜described by’ some β€˜hazard specification’, or x is β€˜occurrent part of’ some β€˜process’ that is β€˜described by’ some β€˜hazard specification’
