peer agreement (net): +1| fp n (fp n = freephone number) gebührenfreie/kostenlose Telefonnummer; (o. hier:) gebührenfrei/kostenlos Explanation: Hallo Barbara, "A toll-free telephone number or freephone number is a telephone number that is billed for all arriving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber. For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline is free of charge." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-free_telephone_number#Uni... https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freephone "New Freephone Number for Patients to book Non Emergency Patient Transport" https://www.oswaldroadmedicalcentre.co.uk/pages/Patient-Tran... "notrufnummer kostenlos gebührenfrei" https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_deDE846DE846&biw=1... https://www.linguee.de/englisch-deutsch/uebersetzung/freepho... "Ein Notruf kann von jedem Telefon aus immer kostenlos erfolgen – Münzen oder Telefonkarten sind nicht erforderlich. Dies gilt auch für Mobiltelefone." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notruf#Notruf_per_Telefon |

| Reference: @ Alison MacG Reference information: All Entries found dates from the last century and are cryptic, e.g. Company’s Emerg Ph #: 800-424-9300 : Ingredient: WATER Safety Focal Point: N. Record No. For Safety Entry: N or Company’s Emerg Ph #: 314-225-6748 : Ingredient: CALCIUM CARBONATE Ingredient Action Code: Safety Focal Point: N. : or Part number/Trade Name: ONE STEP COLOR BLACK LIQUID, T-270C Company’s Emerg Ph #: 708-563-3500 : Safety Data Action Code: Safety Focal Point: N. Can you please indicate what a Safety Focal Point is, a flash point? Its answered "N", what may mean "No". I googled for calcium carbonate and found a current MSDS: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web... https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web... Boiling Point: Not available. Freezing/Melting Point:825 deg C Decomposition Temperature:825 deg C Solubility: Slightly soluble in water. https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/03880.htm (No "focal point") pH: N/A Melting Point: No data Boiling Point: 825 °C (decomposes) Flash Point: N/A https://www.espimetals.com/index.php/msds/477-calcium-carbon... |

| Reference: If "FP" = "[Safety] Focal Point", then "N" = ??? Reference information: Regarding Alison MacG's suggestion of that FP could be [Safety] Focal Point, and the further treatment by Johannes Gleim It is certainly possible that FP is an abbreviation of [Safety] Focal Point. If so, then what is "N"? Just as an impression, I too thought of "No" [or "None" or "Negative"]. However, if that were true then we might expect to occasionally find some listed as Y (Yes) [or A (All) or P (Positive)]. Instead I found some other letters: "SAFETY FOCAL POINT: N" "TRANSPORTATION FOCAL POINT: " [blank] "DISPOSAL DATA FOCAL POINT: " [blank] https://www.grabberman.com/Media/TechnicalData/96.pdf "Safety Focal Point: F" "Ingredient Focal Point: F" "Transportation Focal Point: " [blank] "Disposal Data Focal Point: " [blank] https://img1.guidechem.com/msdspdf/26123-45-5.pdf "Safety Focal Point: D" "Ingredient Focal Point: D" "Transportation Focal Point: D" "Disposal Data Focal Point: " [blank] http://www.chemcas.org/msds_archive/msds_01/cas/gc_msds/mccl... ----- And if we are going to translate this term, what is a Safety Focal Point anyway? A bit of searching online suggests that it is an individual person with designated responsibilities. "The Safety Focal Point must once again ensure all of the common equipment procedures are implemented and the site is in compliance with all regulations. In addition to these tasks, the Safety Focal Point is responsible for any delegated tasks from the Station Manager. A couple of specific tasks are also listed in the "responsibilities" sections of the procedures as priorities. Example: For Procedure 9 Compressed Gas Safety, the Safety Focal Point must make sure MSDS are available for all the gases used at the site as well as make sure warning signs are posted." https://training.weather.gov/nwstc/safety/focalpoint/lesson8... (USA) "The Step Change in Safety Focal Point is an individual from a member company who demonstrate[s] safety leadership and acts as the primary link between the Step Change in Safety Support Team and their [own] company." [italic added: this is the business's name —DIV] https://www.stepchangeinsafety.net/members/focal-points (Scotland) In a totally different context, namely humanitarian assistance, also see https://www.daleel-madani.org/civil-society-directory/danish... (Denmark) and https://www.yemenhr.com/jobs/1884 (Yemen). If the Safety Focal Point is a person, then I suppose that they might be identified by a code letter for different 'zones' of a site's operations. [If not physical zones, then perhaps domains of responsibility.] Thus, Zone A (maybe receiving deliveries) might have several staff of whom someone will always be designated the Safety Focal Point for that zone. Perhaps (I'm speculating further) if the operation runs across several shifts, the identity of the designated Safety Focal Point might correspondingly change from one shift to the next. I suggest Focal Points "D" and "F" as in the extracts above might be for corresponding zones [or domains], labelled alphabetically on site. For me it seems unlikely that there would be dozens of zones, so maybe "N" does indeed still mean "None" or "No need" or "Not applicable" or "Nobody assigned" or similar. |
