Download or read book Management of Health Risks from Environment and Food written by Hajime Sato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the policy and politics of two health risks, which have recently become prominent social issues in many countries. One is the issue of asbestos as an environmental risk to humans, and another is that of bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE), or mad cow disease as an animal disease, and of its variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) as a human food risk. Employing a set of analytical frameworks in political science, each case study explores how the issues emerged, agendas got set, alternatives were chosen, and policies were implemented. Through the analysis, it is examined how safety and public reassurance were pursued in the countries studied (Japan, the UK, France the USA, and Korea). Exploration of the successes and failures in their efforts discloses the key elements to successful health risk management.

Download or read book The BSE Inquiry written by Nicholas Addison Phillips Baron Phillips of Worth Matravers and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with the response to BSE as a disease threatening animal health. The response to BSE as a disease threatening human health is considered in volume 6 of the report, 'Human health 1989-96'. The division into two topics has been done in order to make the story easier to follow. It is, however, arbitrary and to a degree artificial, in that the best way to protect humans from any risk that there might be of transmission of BSE was to eradicate the disease in cattle. The ruminant feed ban (RFB) and the animal Specified Bovine Offal (SBO) ban, which are focussed on in this document, were primarily animal health measures which had important implications for human health. The slaughter and compensation scheme, which was primarily introduced to take diseased animals out of the human food chain, is covered in volume 6.The ruminant content of meat and bone meal (MBM) incorporated in cattle feed had been identified as the source of infection of BSE. The ruminant feed ban aimed to prevent any of this material from being incorporated in ruminant feed. The animal Specified Bovine Offal (SBO) ban, introduced in September 1990 was not designed to protect ruminant animals but to protect non-ruminant animals, whose diet included ruminant protein. The ban was intended to divert at source the SBOs, when severed from the carcass, keeping them separate from material destined for animal feed, and ensuring that they were disposed of as waste.It was not until 1994 that it became clear to MAFF officials that neither the RFB nor the SBO ban was fully effective. Chapter 2 considers the steps taken to implement, enforce and monitor the RFB. Implementation was the responsibility of those who supplied or used ruminant feed. Enforcement was the responsibility of the local authorities but Trading Standards Officers were powerless to enforce the ban as there was no reliable test that could demonstrate, to a high standard of proof, that feed contained ruminant protein.The introduction of the SBO ban is considered in chapter 3. This was initially introduced by the majority of the feed trade on a voluntary basis. The attitude of MAFF officials and Ministers, at this stage, was that the ban was neither necessary nor desirable. A statutory ban was later introduced in haste and without consultation.The working of the SBO ban is covered in chapters 4a and 4b: 4a is a narrative of events relevant to the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the animal SBO ban, 4b contains a detailed discussion of the adequacy of these measures. Deficiencies in the legislative scheme are examined in some length as they had serious consequences. The adequacy of the steps taken by MAFF officials to make the ban work and remedy its defects is also examined.Cattle tracking is dealt with in chapter 5. The Agriculture Select Committee recommended in 1990 that MAFF should set up a computerised animal tracing system. The response that the cost of such a system was not justified by the benefits is considered.Breeding and artificial insemination are covered in chapter 6.

Download or read book Regulatory Crisis written by Bridget M. Hutter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a new concept - 'regulatory crisis' - this book examines how major crises may or may not affect regulation. The authors provide a detailed analysis of selected well-known disasters, tracing multiple interwoven sources of influence and competing narratives shaping crises and their impact. Their findings challenge currently influential ideas about 'regulatory failure', 'risk society' and the process of learning from disasters. They argue that interpretations of and responses to disasters and crises are fluid, socially constructed, and open to multiple influences. Official sense-making can be too readily taken at face value. Failure to manage risks may not be central or even necessary for a regulatory crisis to emerge from a disaster; and the impacts for the regulator can take on a life detached from the precipitating disaster or crisis.

This book provides a detailed exploration of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and its supporting documentation. It describes and analyses recent changes by providing a full commentary on all parts of the Act. Part I covers the planning aspects and Part II explores the more reactive and controversial regulations.
Download or read book When Food Kills BSE E coli and disaster science written by T. Hugh Pennington and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-09-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'food scare' concept took on new meaning in 1996, which opened with variant CJD emerging as the human form of BSE, and closed with Britain's worst E.coli O157 outbreak in central Scotland. As people died, so did trust in government and science. This book tells the story of these events, what led up to them, and what has happened since. It breaks new ground by dissecting these tragedies alongside catastrophes like Aberfan, Piper Alpha, Chernobyl, and the worst ever railway accidents in Ireland and Britain (Armagh and Quintinshill), as well as classical outbreaks of botulism, typhoid, E.coli O157 and Salmonella food poisoning. Britain's ability to win Nobel prizes marches with a propensity to have disasters. The book explains why, demonstrating failures in policy making, failures in the application of science, and failing inspectorates. A unique feature of this book is its breadth since it covers history, politics and law as well as science. It also makes some fascinating connections, like those between 1930's nuclear physics, E.coli, and molecular biology, and the links between manslaughter in 19th century mental hospitals, syphilis, the Nobel Prize, and the prospects for successfully treating variant CJD. Royal murderers, vaccine research in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, and the race to develop the atom bomb appear as well. For the general reader its non-technical but authoritative account of the science behind these tragedies, its critical appraisal of how the government responded to them, its coverage of public inquiries and its analysis of risk will be informative and stimulating. Scientists will find its approach to the prion theory and the origins of BSE challenging and controversial. Policy makers will find not only diagnoses of what went wrong in the past, but remedies ror the future.
