Development of functional meat products based on the food safety system
The aim of the study was to develop a high-quality meat product that meets international quality and safety standards and to evaluate it according to the criteria of the HACCP system. The study was conducted in the Meat Industry Research Laboratory in Kazakhstan from January to June 2024. The experiment employed a methodology for enriching the meat product with dietary fiber, vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. A single functional sausage product, enriched with dietary fiber, vitamins B and E, and omega-3/omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, was developed and compared with one control sample of a traditional meat product sourced from a verified producer. Microbiological safety was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods and the cultivation of nutrient media. The vitamin composition was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the polyunsaturated fatty acid content was determined by gas chromatography (GC). Organoleptic and textural properties were assessed through sensory analysis and a texture analyzer. The results of the study demonstrated that the new product meets all HACCP system requirements. Storage temperature (3.5 °C), processing temperature (72 °C), and packaging pressure (1.20 atm) remained within acceptable limits. The organoleptic characteristics of the new product significantly exceeded those of the control samples, as confirmed by sensory analysis and texture tests. Microbiological safety and nutritional value also complied with standards.

Risk Assessment - Tools, Techniques, and Their Applications (2nd Edition)
Since the first edition of the book was published there have been several changes in the types of risk individuals, businesses, and governments are being exposed to. Cyber-attacks are more frequent and costly and lone-wolf style terrorist attacks are more common; events not addressed in the first edition. The book continues to provide a resource that leads the reader through a risk assessment and shows them the proper tools to be used at the various steps in the process. This book also provides students studying safety and risk assessment a resource that assists them in understanding the various risk assessment tools and presents readers with a toolbox of techniques that can be used to aid them in analyzing conceptual designs, completed designs, procedures and operational risk. On top of the ten new chapters the new edition also includes expanded case studies and real-life examples; coverage on risk assessment software like SAPPHIRE and RAVEN; and end-of-chapter questions for students with a solutions manual for academic adopters.

The Safety of Intelligent Driver Support Systems
Road telematics and driver assistance systems offer a real opportunity to aid mobility and road safety. However, they also raise numerous questions. Problems related to the design and evaluation of intelligent driver support systems (IDSSs) and social perspectives related to their large scale introduction may only be fully addressed from a multi-disciplinary viewpoint. People from both engineering and social sciences, should be involved and this book provides such knowledge from both a human and social factors perspective.

Delivering Safety Excellence
Delivering Safety Excellence
Discover how to overcome a culture of inadequately addressing risk and thereby achieve safe working practices from a leader in the field
Delivering Safety Excellence: Engagement Culture At Every Level provides an in-depth and practical overview of how to energize frontline employees, supervisors, managers, and leaders to overcome and solve regularly occurring safety concerns. The book teaches readers how to resolve dysfunctional safety cultures by engaging employees at all levels. This cross functional engagement culture regularly builds safe and effective working practices that eliminate regulatory, financial, and personal risk shortfalls while encouraging profitability and efficiency.
The distinguished author shows how culture improvement processes and models can be utilized to improve the performance all across an organization. The material is presented in dialogue format using case studies to highlight the relationship between the concepts discussed and their application in the real world.
You'll discover how to implement real solutions in industries of all types and in organizations of all sizes using practical and concrete strategies tested by the author in regions and varying cultures around the world. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:
* A thorough introduction to rapidly resolving the many common deficiencies insafety culture, including scarce regulatory and cultural materials and a lack ofsupport, trust, and credibility for safety officers
* Practical discussions of how urgency can obstruct a consistent culture of safety, performance, and prudence
* Explorations of behavior-based safety, the injury plateau, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and a dynamic model of safety weaknesses that lead to injuries
Perfect for safety officers at all levels of organizations of any size, Delivering Safety Excellence: Engagement Culture At Every Level will also earn a place in the libraries of executives, managers, leaders, supervisors, and employees who seek a one-stop reference for how to build a safe and profitable company.

A Critical Evaluation of BS PD 7974-7 Structural Fire Response Data Based on USA Fire Statistics
Probabilistic techniques deal with the randomness of variables and reliability of safety system but their application in fire safety engineering is limited due to the lack of data related to real structures subjected to real fires. This can be overcome by analysis of national fire statistics provided by fire departments. Fire statistics databases are a collection of data from real structures subjected to real fires and provides an understanding of real effectiveness of different fire safety measures (i.e. compartmentation) which influence the spread and growth of fire, and ultimately their monetary consequence. The ability to understand the realistic responses of buildings in fire is the fundamental basis of British Standards PD 7974-7, which provides data to perform probabilistic risk assessments for fire. However, the current data presented by BS PD 7974-7:2003 (referred to as PD 7974-7 within this paper) was developed between 1966 and 1987. This research has used the USA fire statistic database of 2014 to recreate the tables present in the PD 7974-7, compare the results, and understand their evolution in time. The comparison between PD 7974-7 and the USA fire statistics introduced in this paper shows that modern fire frequency can be up to more than 10 times smaller than presented in PD 7974-7; area damage in m2 and spread of fire are linked to automatic extinguish systems effectiveness and greater in the USA fire statistics than predicted by PD 7974-7. This clearly demonstrate the need of updates to PD 7974-7 and feeds towards a better understanding of the robustness, and potentially the resilience, of real structures in fire.
