NEW 2nd edition 218 pages Removing Obstacles to Safety Published by Performance Management Publications ISBN: 0937100072

This manual clearly explains a scientifically-based formula for removing barriers to safe practices behaviour, identifying and eliminating unsafe or at-risk actions and promoting safe habits at work or at home. Creating and maintaining a competitive food-producer, wholesaler, retail or consultancy business that keeps safety as a priority is tough. Any workplace HR organisation can create excellent practices, procedures and results for safer work environments, but human behaviour must be a key component of the safety team members of any successful health and safety enterprise. Removing Obstacles to Safety: A Behavior-Based Approach can provide a quick, yet detailed, overview relevant to every member of any workforce, behavior-based safety (BBS) presents solutions to ergonomic, production, and lone-worker issues at every level. Though targeting safety at work, this book also serves as a handy and easy-to-understand guide that reveals how to use BBS anywhere at anytime - accidents don't just happen on the job. In fact, for many, taking this system home has demonstrated the value of positive steps that even kids can use to develop safe habits. Case studies, chapter summaries, and a Q & A section kept the 1st edition in demand, but this revised edition offers even more: additional chapters further defining managerial, supervisory and frontline roles, leadership strategies, and industry-specific examples of applying this proven method to, and beyond, safety initiatives.   Amazon Order & Reviews page: USA Similar manuals: Canada   U.K. (all deliver worldwide)

"Risk Analysis of Prion Diseases in Animals" Published by The World Organisation for Animal Health The Office International des Epizooties OIE OIE Scientific and Technical Review Volume 22 April 2003 Edited by C.I. Lasmezas and D.B. Adams Paperback 346 pages ISBN 9290445734 Published by The World Organisation for Animal Health (The Office International des Epizooties OIE) Description of the book: This book deals with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in animals. Management of the wider consequences of BSE risk analysis and the OIE International Animal Health Code veterinary standards are a tool for handling all aspects of this human and livestock disease. This manual contains a general update on prion disease and reviews of current knowledge about BSE, scrapie and chronic wasting disease, including potential for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in non-ruminant livestock and fish. Swine in Britain were exposed to the causal agent of BSE via consumption of the same meat-and-bone meal (MBM) as cattle. According to a recent review by Matthews and Cooke, in the 1980s MBM was added to the diets of British pigs at an average inclusion rate of 5% - an annual usage rate of 175,000 tonnes. Despite this, no spontaneous cases of TSE were recorded in pigs. In 1989 ten piglets were inoculated intracranially, intraperitoneally and intravenously with an homogenate of BSE-infected bovine brainstems at the UK Central Veterinary Laboratory, Weybridge. BSE-like changes were confirmed in one of the pigs at 74 weeks after inoculation. This finding led to a ban on the feeding of any "specified risk materials" (SRMs) i.e. bovine brain, spinal cord, tonsil, thymus, spleen and intestine, to any farm animals or pets. Long-term (up to five years) follow-up of the ten inoculated piglets detected BSE-like effects in seven of them, five of which developed clinical signs with an incubation period of 69-150 weeks.

"Perspectives and Possibilities of Control and Eradication of Hydatidosis" Control, eradication and surveillance of the hydatid cysts of Echinococcosis multilocularis. This manual OIE report presents experiences on eradicating and controlling hydatidosis, offers perspectives on eradication, examines advanced technology in control methods, and looks at the hydatidosis panorama in Latin America. The book gathers the contributions of distinguished field scientists with experience in control and eradication programs, as well as surveillance activities and the preparation of plans of action for the eradication of the disease in various situations. The methods included can be tailored to local conditions. Hydatid disease has been eradicated from Iceland; New Zealand and Tasmania are on the verge of being declared hydatid-free; the disease is under control in Cyprus, Argentina, and Chile; and the incidence of hydatidosis has been reduced in Uruguay and Spain. Yet much remains to be done worldwide. This publication should help political and technical authorities in countries where hydatid disease remains a public health problem, both in terms of decision making and for organizing programs directed toward the elimination of this zoonosis. CONTENTS LIST: Experience on Eradication Eradication of Hydatid Disease in Iceland Hydatidosis Eradication within Insular Systems: Tasmania Hydatidosis Eradication in New Zealand Experience Gained and Evaluation of the Echinococcosis/Hydatidosis Eradication Program in Cyprus Experience on Control Echinococcosis: World Distribution and Prospects for Control Echinococcosis/Hydatidosis and Programs for its Control in the Mediterranean Countries Prospects of Hydatidosis Control in Continental Areas Perspectives of Eradication Prospect of Hydatidosis Eradication in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina Hydatidosis/Echinococcosis Eradication in the Commune Tierra del Fuego, XII Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica, Chile Advanced Technology in Control Methods Role of Immunization of the Intermediate Host in Hydatid Disease Control Determination of the Environmental Pollution by Echinococcus granulosus Hydatidosis in Latin America Epidemiology of Hydatid Disease in South America Hydatidosis Control Strategies in Uruguay Human Cases of Hydatid Disease in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil click button for...
