Policy Objectives. It is the Company’s policy to actively involve & consult with ALL employees to identify, minimise and where possible eliminate all adverse health, safety, quality and environmental related issues. This is in line with changes resulting from the OHS Act 2000, where there is a duty to consult with employees on matters affecting their health and safety. The primary vehicle to facilitate this remains the OHS&E Committee. In particular, our policy aims to: commit to the principles and practices of continuous improvement, by preventing illness, injury, non-conforming product/services or pollutants commit to the process of preserving natural resources by recycling materials and using materials that can be recycled where possible provide products and services which meet customer agreed standards, performance and reliability requirements all of the time and on time review the health, safety, quality and environmental objectives and targets and put steps in place to continually improve our performance maintain a management system that aims to comply with AS 4801, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 comply with the relevant health, safety, quality and environment acts, regulations, codes of practice and standards provide ample opportunity through the safety, health and environment (SHE) committee for safety, health and environment matters to be defined, reviewed and resolved investigate incidents and take appropriate corrective and preventive action to correct the situation and prevent it from reoccurring provide employees, contractors and interested parties (both internal and external) with information, instruction, training and supervision required, to ensure the health, safety, quality and the environment are not compromised commit to the process of identifying, assessing, controlling and reviewing all hazards associated with health, safety and the environment, as well as committing to the hierarchy of controls to eliminate/minimise risks commit to purchasing goods and services that comply with relevant standards
Policy Objectives. 1.2.1.1 Section 372(a) of the California Public Utilities Code states: “it is the policy of the state to encourage and support the development of cogeneration technology as an efficient, environmentally beneficial, competitive energy resource that will enhance the reliability of local generation supply, and promote local business growth.”
Policy Objectives. The objectives of this policy are: To establish a clear, open, transparent and accountable framework to govern the negotiation, use, management and implementation of planning agreements by Council; To ensure that the framework is soundly based upon probity and enables efficient, fair, transparent and accountable negotiations and implementation; To promote public trust and confidence in the processes of negotiation, execution and implementation of planning agreements; To ensure that Council, Council officers and proponents understand their roles and responsibilities when negotiating, assessing and implementing planning agreements; To provide planning flexibility for Council to negotiate fair, reasonable and equitable development contributions by proponents of planning proposals and development applications; To enhance the range and extent of development contributions towards the optimal delivery of public infrastructure services and facilities in the Council area; and To enable innovative approaches to the delivery of public infrastructure, services and facilities.
Policy Objectives. 1.1. The purpose of this Policy is to establish a framework to guide the preparation of Planning Agreements under Section 7.4 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&A Act) and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 (the Regulation).
Policy Objectives. To provide a rental system for the public for the use of the facility. To ensure Renters are aware of responsibilities and costs of renting the facility. To provide specific guidelines to the Renters on expectations and requirements for clean up after a function. BOOKINGS, KEYS & DAMAGE DEPOSIT Bookings for the facility shall be made at the Town Office during normal working hours. A damage deposit is required at the time of booking. Keys will be supplied after the rental fee and applicable deposit is paid and the walk-through has been completed. Keys will only be provided to the renter or their agent, if applicable. The renter is responsible for ensuring their third party has access to the hall if needed; the Town will not supply addition keys. If the renter choses not to do a walk through after their rental, any damages found after their rental will be their responsibility and will be taken from the damage deposit without question. Xxxx will be returned immediately following the rental (put in the Town Office drop box after hours) or the next business day at the Town Office. Bookings are not deemed to be confirmed until the Rental Agreement (this document) is returned signed by the Renter, or their agent and the applicable damage deposit is paid. Any damage, loss or breakage is paid for from the damage deposit. If damage, loss, or breakage exceeds the amount of the damage deposit, the Renter is responsible for all costs of the repairs and will be invoiced the difference. The Renter is held responsible for the actions of its patrons of their function. Damage deposit fees are required for all rentals. RENTER RESPONSIBILITIES This facility is a smoke-free environment. Nails, screws, hooks, staples, tape, tacks, or any other damage-causing materials are not to be applied to the walls, ceiling, or floors. Renters are allowed to use sticky tack only. All garbage and recycling (including beverage containers) must be removed by the Renter. A garbage dumpster is located on the northeast corner of the Hall (beneath the display sign). Failure to comply will result in possible deduction from damage deposit. The renter is responsible for setting up, cleaning, and properly putting away/storing all tables and chairs. Tables, chairs, contents, or supplies do not leave the facility. All renters must leave the facility respectably clean. Any use of kitchenware, coffee urns, utensils, etc. must be cleaned, dried, and properly stored. Failure to do so will result in the dedu...
Policy Objectives. The objectives of the policy change were to: To improve the efficiency of the enforcement regime Remove low level careless driving cases from the court system, and minimise the bureaucracy associated with these offences Allow remedial training to be provided for low level offenders Reduce the cost and administration burden from Police forces to improve the ease of enforcement A reduction in the prevalence of careless driving SCOPE OF THE REQUIREMENT The aim of this evaluation is to determine whether the policy objectives listed in 6.1 have been met. Research should provide a conclusion whether the introduction of the ‘fixed penalty notice’ has been an effective measure in reducing the prevalence of careless driving and increasing the ease of its enforcement. Assessment of the following factors should be used to inform this conclusion: Current enforcement levels Driver and offender attitudes and perceptions towards the offence Driver and offender attitudes and perceptions towards the offence and the perceived impacts on their behaviour Bureaucratic burden of the offence on law enforcement authorities Accuracy of the Impact Assessment– A comparison of estimated and actual levels of: enforcement, number of offenders diverted from the court as a result of the policy, the distribution of diverted offenders among the three enforcement mechanisms. This will be made available to the successful bidder. In order to evaluate the factors above a range of data sources will need to be utilised, these include: Available data sets (PentIP, LIBRA, DVLA databases) Opinions and experiences of police officers Opinions of the courts Opinions of offenders Opinions of the general driver population METHODOLOGY Firstly, there are three factors which restrict the evaluation options available to contractors: A retrospective evaluation of the new enforcement approach (introduced in August 2013) is required and it will therefore not be possible to collect fresh baseline data. The evaluation should focus particularly on the first year of the new approach, i.e. August 2013 – August 2014, taking the year prior to this as the baseline period. As the new approach was introduced universally, it is not possible to identify comparison areas where it was not introduced. Consequently, the assessment of the effects of the change will rest on comparisons of monitoring data before and after the change and research into the experiences and opinions of police officers, offenders and the general driv...
Policy Objectives. The main objective of this activity is to investigate how current real-time operating systems have to be extended or modified to support emerging real-time embedded systems characterized by a high degree of complexity, highly variable resource requirements and parallel processing such as multicores. Most embedded systems are often characterized by scarce resources in terms of processing power, memory, space, weight, energy, and cost. Hence, another objective is to investigate kernel mechanisms that can efficiently manage the available resources, taking multiple constraints into account, whilst guaranteeing isolation properties. Also, to support dynamic applications with variable resource requirements or to cope with unpredictable resource availability, feedback control techniques for resource management at the operating system and application level will be investigated. The impact on operating system standards (like RT-POSIX and OSEK) will also be taken into account. In fact, developing real-time applications and components using an interface compliant to a standard will promote portability to other compliant platforms and will challenge the current standard to be extended to better meet the needs of advanced applications with flexible resource requirements. We realize though that in specific application domains, significant performance advantages can be realized by optimizing software across layers, for example exploiting specific behaviour of a medium access control protocol. This is often the case in operating systems for sensor network platforms such as TinyOS or NanoRK. Such cross-layer design does not necessary contradicts operating system standards, but they do require other interfaces. Some partners in this activity are involved a few research and standardization efforts over such type of tiny operating systems. Several of the partners of this activity are partners of the FRESCOR IST project, which has among its objectives the development of a framework that uses a contract model that can be used by applications to specify their requirements with respect to the flexible use of the processing resources in the system, both in regard to the resources that must be guaranteed if the component is to be installed into the system, and also on how the system can distribute any spare capacity that it has, to achieve the highest usage of the available resources. This framework is very open and can be used to provide support for QoS requirements, real-time, di...
