how current risk assessment and risk management methods for drinking water in the netherlands cover the who water Safety Plan approach
International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2019Co-Authors: H H J L Van Den Berg, P W M H Smeets, L Friederichs, J F M Versteegh, A M De Roda HusmanAbstract:In the Netherlands, safe and sufficient drinking water is provided to the general population by ten drinking water companies. To guarantee safe drinking water the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a Water Safety Plan (WSP), a Risk Assessment and a Risk Management (RA/RM) framework. The objective of the study was to identify legally required RA approaches, to document application of RA/RM activities at Dutch drinking water companies and to determine to what extent these RA/RM activities as a whole cover all the elements of the WHO WSP approach. This study could be of interest to both managers of large water utilities and decision makers. The assessment was performed by means of a policy review and interviews with two to four staff members involved in RA/RM from all ten Dutch drinking water companies combined with a joint workshop. The drinking water companies are well aware of the potential hazards and risks that can influence the drinking water quality. To guarantee the supply of safe and sufficient drinking water, the Dutch drinking water sector uses six different legally required RA/RM approaches. This study shows that by using the six legally required RA/RM approaches, all WSP steps are covered. WSP entails a generic risk assessment for identifying all hazards and hazardous events from source to tap, whereas the six legally required RA/RM each focus on specific risks at an advanced level. Each risk assessment provides information on specific hazards and hazardous events covering a part of the water supply chain. These legal requirements are complemented with additional RA/RM activities at sector and water company level such as codes of practices and standard operating procedures. The outcomes of all RA/RM approaches combined provide information from source to tap. When using multiple RA/RM approaches, it is crucial to share and combine information derived from the different activities.

quantitative risk assessment in the water Safety Plan case studies from drinking water practice
Water Science & Technology: Water Supply, 2009Co-Authors: Gertjan Medema, P W M H SmeetsAbstract:System assessment is the part of the Water Safety Plan that evaluates whether a water supply system is capable of producing drinking water that meets the health-based targets. System assessment can be done at increasing level of detail, requiring more site specific information as the level of detail increases. Four case studies are presented with increasing level of detail, showing the type of information that is required for each of these levels and how each level informs risk management. The first case study shows how a system assessment can be performed without other site specific information than the type of source water and the type of treatment processes. The required data for the system assessment are collected from the large body of literature available. The second case study uses site specific microbial indicator data. The third study uses pathogen data and the fourth case study combines data on pathogens, microbial indicators and process parameters. The case studies show that the level of detail required largely depends on the risk management question.

guidance for implementation of the aashto strategic highway Safety Plan volume 23 a guide for reducing speeding related crashes
NCHRP Report, 2009Co-Authors: Timothy R Neuman, Kelly K Hardy, K L Slack, Douglas W Harwood, Darren John Torbic, Vanessa L Bond, Robert D Foss, Arthur H Goodwin, Jamie Sohn, Ingrid B PottsAbstract:The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has adopted a national highway Safety goal of halving fatalities over the next 2 decades—or reducing the number of fatalities by 1,000 per year. This goal can be achieved through the widespread application of low-cost, proven countermeasures that reduce the number of crashes on the nation's highways. This twenty-third volume of NCHRP Report 500, "Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan," provides strategies that can be employed to reduce crashes involving speeding. The report will be of particular interest to Safety practitioners with responsibility for implementing programs to reduce injuries and fatalities on the highway system.
