A questionnaire-based survey was distributed to OIE Member Countries to assess the role of veterinarians in contemporary food safety risk management, particularly at the level of livestock producers. Almost all countries reported that food safety was a priority public health issue, and veterinarians in animal health authorities, food safety authorities, private practice, academia and industry a...

objectives: because of the high rates of accidents, the construction industry has become a hazardous industry in iran and therefore paying more attention is required. this paper investigates safety management in construction companies for improving workers’ safety as one of the ergonomics aims. methods: in order to survey the safety management in construction companies a questionnaire was prepa...

occupational accidents severely deteriorate human capital, and hence negatively affect the productivity andcompetitiveness. but despite these negative points, there are still deficiencies in safety managementperformance and indicators. therefore the safety issue needs an active management. for this reason, thewriter has proposed an approach to evaluate organizations based on safety management. ...

This paper presents a fast GPU implementation of a genetic algorithm for synthesizing bimodal predictor FSMs of a given size. Bimodal predictors, i.e., predictors that make binary yes/no predictions, are ubiquitous in microprocessors. Many of these predictors are based on finite-state machines (FSMs). However, there are countless possible FSMs and even heuristic searches for finding good FSMs c...

introduction: since hospitals give their services to a huge number of people most of whom are sick and disabled and also because they have many expensive and modern equipment and facilities, any negligence regarding the standards of safety management leads to severe damages including financial ones. this may even result in irrecoverable consequences such as their clients’ death. so, this invest...

The paper tackles the issue of food safety, which is generally defined as the assurance that food will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and/or eaten according to its intended use. Echoing the recognition by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1996 that food safety is an element of food security, the paper discusses the importance of the food trade in the economies o...

Although the famous brittle characteristics of molecular crystals are unfavorable when they used as flexible smart materials (FSMs), an increasing number organic crystal-based FSMs have been reported recently. This breaks perception their stiff and properties promises a bright future for basic research practical applications. Crystalline present considerable advantages over polymer under certai...

The Codex Alimentarius (Codex) international food standards help to ensure food safety and promote fair practices in the international food trade. Implementing these standards using a risk management framework (RMF) approach to decision-making is an increasingly common aspect of the food control programmes of national governments. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) provides guidance at bot...

Beijing, as the capital of the world's most populous nation, has been at the forefront in food safety management in mainland China. Yet, food safety incidents have frequently occurred. To gain insights into the nature of food safety incidents occurred in Beijing, content analysis was carried out on an Internet database of food safety incidents, the “Throwing out the window net”, which has colle...
