Specific suggestions for troubleshooting procedures are offered for various problem scenarios.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":174734,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record on Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123666789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The changes have occurred since the company formerly part of a closely held stock corporation based in the United Kingdom, broke away from the parent organization and formed a separate US stock corporation. The changes also coincide, however, with a general rise in employee empowerment in American industry and with a burgeoning global marketplace. The results of a survey of the causes and effects of the changes in management styles are discussed. The goal of the survey was to determine whether the changes are a result of differences between American management styles and British management styles, a result of the general trend in American management styles, or some combination of the two.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":174734,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record on Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130250373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Continuing adequate fire protection in control rooms requires changes in the method previously used to design and use halon systems. Programs undertaken to keep using the current halon agents, including design changes, modification of the NFPA standards and initiation of halon recycling, are described. The new extinguishing agents coming to market that provide additional options for the fire protection professional are also described. It is argued that the combination of halon initiatives and new agent development will allow ample time for conversion of existing halon systems to the next generation of fire protection technology.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":174734,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record on Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":"1938 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128802013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
