The significance of quality has increasingly grown in the food sector over the last decades because of the ever growing consumer expectations, government regulations and expanding competition in the market. The food companies have increasingly followed quality management (QM) process in recent years. Literature suggests that the application of QM depends upon managerial factors such as the size of the organization, the type of suppliers and customers, amount of automation, type of products, and most
Identifying the Hazards Food safety hazards Food safety is found throughout the food chain and can be described as: 1. Biological 2. Chemical 3. Physical All these three factors are agents that are responsible for the cause of illness or injury in food. Biological Hazards Biological hazards can be caused by the following: • Bacteria • Viruses • Parasites All these hazards can be present in Air Food Water Soil Bacteria Bacteria are single celled microbes. The cell structure of bacteria
1.1 Potential Food Safety Hazards Control measures essential to food safety like proper cooking, cooling and refrigeration of ready-to-eat should be put in place at each critical point in order to reduce the consumers’ risk of food-borne illnesses. Especially so when the dish, like the beef snack requires minimal processing. With reference to table 1.1.1, the potential hazards in the associated foods have been identified and the respective control measures are discussed respectively. As a meat
Noodle & Sushi Bar. Food safety describes the proper handling, preparing, and storing of food that prevents foodborne illness because of food contamination. It includes procedures to monitor & control risks and corrective actions taken to avoid health hazards. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) standard code comprises of systematic regulations for a food business to function safely, including receiving and storing food. One of the main requirements for making and storing safe food is
The Hazard Assessment method used in the paper was the globally acknowledged PEC and PNEC approaches according to Basietto et al., 1990. PEC stands for the acronym of Predicted Environmental Concentration whereas the PNEC stands for Predicted No Effect Concentration. This method uses the ratio proportion of PEC:PNEC to compute the Hazard Quotient (HQ) or Risk Quotient (RQ) of the subjected hazards. The PEC is basically a measure of chemical concentration
Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) and failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) are among the widely used reliability analysis tools. They facilitate identification of potential design reliability problems, and can assist in removing causes of failures. Also, they aid the development of systems that can mitigate the effects of failures. This paper investigates the failure criticality and risk of electrical components of water pumping system of Asa dam mega-water station in Kwara state
project and the achievement of a project goal (Mark et al., 2004). Risk is a situation in which he possesses some objectives information about what the outcome might be. Risk exposure can be valued either positively or negatively. Concepts of risk analysis and management Risk management is a process which identifies the project risks, analyses them, and determine the actions to avert the threats on any project. All steps in the risk management process should be included to deal with risks, in order
strip Poster on Everyday Hazards Project Description Our project is a poster on everyday hazards. However, it is not just like any other posters. It’s a poster containing real-life situations on everyday hazards portrayed through a comic strip. Since we wanted to raise the awareness of children and youth about everyday hazards we made it in such a way that it is relatable and can be easily understood. Our poster presents four real-life situations about everyday hazards that are often and most
learning – e.g., poor concentration, dizziness etc. IAQ factors such as relative humidity, ventilation rates, CO2, CO and PM 2.5 concentrations, affect health and well being of its occupants. The most documented IAQ risk factors were PM 2.5 and CO. Analysis of research highlighted the degraded IAQ in schools which was often outside the recommended ranges in school buildings. 1. Introduction: The research studies conducted worldwide, reviewed in this paper, indicate that there is a large untapped potential
interest for many decades (Kedir, 2000). There are two broad complementary approaches to the conceptualization of poverty. Known as the pure economic and the anthropological approaches (Makisa et. al., 1997). The conventionally held pure economic definition (the poverty line approach) uses income and consumption indicators complemented by other social dimensions (access to basic services, life expectancy and infant mortality rates, proportion of household income spent on food and nutrition) and compare
