These facilities can be viewed as complex safety-critical systems. An important aspect of the safety management of such systems is the short safety education and training programme the users are required to undergo in order to gain facility access.

Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide (TBP-PI-HBr) is an oral prodrug of pharmacologically active moiety tebipenem (TBP), which is a carbapenem with activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.
