Intermediate CSE key terms

Overall responsibility attached to the actual leading role, which is not automatically transferred to a contractor, consultant or safety officer.

Identification of actual authority, duties, resources and accountability at each post rather than reliance on an unsigned or generic organization chart.

A point where different employers or work groups can create shared hazards requiring actual coordination and clear responsibility.

The applicable present instrument and conditions, distinguished from a remembered obsolete staffing table or an unsupported article citation.

A defined sequence of hazard, exposure, barrier behavior and possible consequence used to give meaning to a risk assessment.

A protective measure whose relevant function does not share the assumed failure dependency with another barrier in the analyzed scenario.

Evidence that an implemented measure addresses the actual hazard mechanism and has not merely changed a tracking record.

A defined measure of preventive activity or capability that requires interpretation and cannot by itself guarantee a future incident outcome.

The relevant pathway by which an agent reaches a worker, interpreted with its physical form, duration and actual task conditions.

The time and sampling definition behind a measurement or criterion, which must match before comparing exposure numbers.

A physical measure that changes a source or pathway, assessed for effectiveness at the actual workplace rather than its name.

Appropriate monitoring and follow-up related to occupational health that complements prevention without authorizing otherwise uncontrolled harmful exposure.

Energy remaining in pressure, gravity, springs, heat or another source even when a visible drive motor has stopped.

A relationship between a guard state and relevant hazardous functions, whose actual stopping behavior and restart conditions require assessment.

Contact involving an exposed conductive part energized by a fault, distinct from touching a conductor normally carrying electrical energy.

Assessment and control of hazards affected by a proposed process, material, equipment or organizational change before relying on the modified system.

Engineered arrangements supporting construction or access during particular phases, with actual load, sequence, foundation and restraint conditions.

The applicable documented technical and safety arrangement for defined work, requiring actual review and implementation rather than a generic signature.

A relationship among work groups, services, loads or access that can change as construction phases and surrounding conditions evolve.

Appropriate records and examination demonstrating the relevant agreed conditions before a particular construction stage or system is relied upon.

The actual combination of people, competence, communication, equipment and coordination needed for an assessed emergency scenario.

An additional injured person resulting from an unsafe response or continuing exposure after the initial incident, including unprotected rescue attempts.

Observed or recorded information supporting a proposed incident mechanism, distinguished from an early opinion or unexplored assumption.

Follow-up assessment of whether a completed corrective action works against the supported cause under the relevant actual conditions.

The energy released per unit time in the stated fire model, distinct from total fuel energy or a material temperature.

A defined test-related temperature associated with an ignitable liquid-vapor mixture, not a universal spontaneous-ignition temperature.

Addition of surrounding fluid into a moving plume or stream, which can increase total mass flow while reducing temperature.

A specified scenario or mathematical representation used for an identified analysis objective, not a prediction guaranteed for every real fire.
