Bringing SVCCS and risk assessment together Sample Clauses

Bringing SVCCS and risk assessment together. The possible effects of engineered nanomaterials on human health and the environment are sometimes ascribed to the „novelty“ of these materials. This could be interpreted in such a way that “novel” types of responses occur, and that novel approaches for RA are needed. However, there are no data available that support such assumptions. The responses in biological systems (which can be molecules, cells, tissues, or organisms) to nanomaterials are not unique, they are also appearing when chemicals in solution or larger particles are interacting with biological components. Furthermore, RA of nanomaterials requires knowledge about the exposure as well as of hazard potential and dose-response relationships. This is once again in line with what is required for conventional RA of chemicals. The specific challenges for nanomaterial risk assessment are thus of another character. Central to all RA- related activities is the need for profile life cycles. For each stage along the value chain, the properties of the material or the product are needed to be known, as well as to what extent there is a real exposure at that stage, and if exposure at these levels, and with a nanomaterials in that specific form actually has hazard potential. Corresponding knowledge about the effects of the pristine form of the nanomaterials is thus having very limited, if any, value for risk assessment. The present specific tools used in characterization of nanomaterials, in exposure assessment, in toxicological testing, and the risk assessment are appropriate, but not necessarily sufficient for RA. There is thus a considerable amount of work within NANoREG that is devoted to adaption and validation of methods and approaches for material characterization and detection, exposure assessment, and in vivo and in vitro experimental work. In this context, the importance of SVCCS studies is imminent (see also Figure 4 below). The value chain analyses provide with identification of key steps in the “life” of a material or product, where potential for release can be pinpointed. Accordingly, necessary actions for characterisation, exposure determinations, and toxicity tests can be called upon, and a proper and relevant risk assessment is possible to perform

It includes an ongoing process of using the knowledge and expertise of the member and caregivers to collect information about:

  • Impact Assessment If Service Provider desires to make any change, upgrade, replacement or addition that may have an adverse impact or require changes as described in Section 9.6(c) or increase the risk of Service Provider not being able to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement or violate or be inconsistent with DIR Standards or Strategic Plans, then Service Provider shall prepare a written risk assessment and mitigation plan (1) describing in detail the nature and extent of such adverse impact or risk, (2) describing any benefits, savings or risks to DIR or the DIR Customers associated with such change, and (3) proposing strategies to mitigate any adverse risks or impacts associated with such change and, after consultation and agreement with DIR, implement the plan.

  • Contractor Sales Reporting Vendor Management Fee Contractor Reports Master Contract Sales Reporting. Contractor shall report total Master Contract sales quarterly to Enterprise Services, as set forth below. Master Contract Sales Reporting System. Contractor shall report quarterly Master Contract sales in Enterprise Services’ Master Contract Sales Reporting System. Enterprise Services will provide Contractor with a login password and a vendor number. The password and vendor number will be provided to the Sales Reporting Representative(s) listed on Contractor’s Bidder Profile. Data. Each sales report must identify every authorized Purchaser by name as it is known to Enterprise Services and its total combined sales amount invoiced during the reporting period (i.e., sales of an entire agency or political subdivision, not its individual subsections). The “Miscellaneous” option may be used only with prior approval by Enterprise Services. Upon request, Contractor shall provide contact information for all authorized purchasers specified herein during the term of the Master Contract. If there are no Master Contract sales during the reporting period, Contractor must report zero sales. Due dates for Master Contract Sales Reporting. Quarterly Master Contract Sales Reports must be submitted electronically by the following deadlines for all sales invoiced during the applicable calendar quarter: For Calendar Quarter Ending Master Contract Sales Report Due March 31: April 30 June 30: July 31 September 30: October 31 December 31: January 31 Vendor Management Fee. Contractor shall pay to Enterprise Services a vendor management fee (“VMF”) of 0.74 percent on the purchase price for all Master Contract sales (the purchase price is the total invoice price less applicable sales tax). The sum owed by Contractor to Enterprise Services as a result of the VMF is calculated as follows: Amount owed to Enterprise Services = Total Master Contract sales invoiced (not including sales tax) x .0074. The VMF must be rolled into Contractor’s current pricing. The VMF must not be shown as a separate line item on any invoice unless specifically requested and approved by Enterprise Services. Enterprise Services will invoice Contractor quarterly based on Master Contract sales reported by Contractor. Contractors are not to remit payment until they receive an invoice from Enterprise Services. Contractor’s VMF payment to Enterprise Services must reference this Master Contract number, work request number (if applicable), the year and quarter for which the VMF is being remitted, and the Contractor’s name as set forth in this Master Contract, if not already included on the face of the check.

At Authority’s discretion, at least one hundred and twenty (120) days before the expiration or early termination of the Term as provided herein, Company will conduct an environmental inspection and examination of the Company Premises. At its discretion, Authority may complete environmental reviews to determine if recognized environmental conditions exist that could warrant soil and groundwater sampling.

If a site assessment is conducted, Company agrees to pay all associated laboratory and testing fees incurred to test and analyze samples collected during the site assessment process. The Authority may also choose to conduct the compliance audit or site assessment. If the results of the assessment indicate that the Company Premises have been impacted by the release of Hazardous Substances, Company will immediately take such action as is necessary and will provide a substantial guaranty in a form and content acceptable to Authority that Company will clean up the contamination at its own expense, at no expense to Authority, and in accordance with Applicable Laws to the extent that it is obligated to do so by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this Article.
