Conclusion:
There were both advantages and disadvantages to this method that we carried out
...
On the other hand, when
we were collecting the chocolate chips, some were not full ones and some still had some crumbs on
there
...

An improvement to this method would be to only collect the chocolate chips on top of the cookie,
rather than inside the cookie
...

Another improvement would be to take the crumbs off each chocolate chip to make it as accurate as
possible
...

Finally, we should not rush the experiment as it would increase the chance of an injury

COSHH
This is a law which states that employers must control the substances which are hazardous to health
...
These substances can be paint, bleach or even residue from natural substances
...

This is done by:
"
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

deciding how to prevent harm to health (risk assessment);
providing control measures to reduce harm to health;
making sure they are used ;
keeping all control measures in good working order;
providing information, instruction and training for employees and others;
providing monitoring and health surveillance in appropriate cases;
planning for emergencies
...

...
Risk assessments are carried out by
assessing all the possible risks from harmful substances that could occur
...
Then you must identify the risks that these substances could
bring and those at risk
...
These control measures should be kept in good working
order
...
The training for people to take emergency action must be stated, for example for
doctors, nurses and people who carry out first aid
...
This is to ensure that the injury does not
get worse and to assess the remaining risks
...

Also, to follow the COSHH law, people must be warned of the about the risks that the harmful
substances could cause
...
These hazard symbols are there to show that there is a potential risks
and states what the risk is
...


Explosive

Flammable

Oxidising

Corrosive

Toxic

Harmful to the environment

Irritant

Respiratory sensitisation

Contains gas under pressure

Under the Regulations, employers must carry out a risk assessment to ensure that employees are
not exposed to substances which will be hazardous to their health
...
RIDDOR stipulates a requirement for monitoring
exposure in the workplace and maintaining suitable records
...
Employers are also obliged to ensure that where exposure to
hazardous substance is unavoidable, workers are made aware of the associated health risks and the
precautions that should be taken including any associated instruction and training requirements
...
It was
introduced in the UK in 2002 to make sure that people are following the health and safety laws in
organisations
...
Because so much grease and dust was able to accumulate, the fire was able
to spread rapidly
...
There was also only a manual water spray system, not an automatic system
...
It was observed that the
London Underground staff members that were on duty, were poorly trained and "woefully
inequipped to meet the emergency that arose"

After this incident, there were many recommendations for safety improvements outlined in the

This is when COSHH was established to ensure that substances that are hazardous to health
are controlled

Risk assessment
The elements that a risk assessment must have are:
"

•
•
•
•

worker involvement;
a hazard identification process (which will entail data gathering and analysis);
gap analysis; and
solution development

Enforcement
If organisations fail to show enough commitment, to make sufficient progress and there are still
health and safety risks, then enforcement action will be taken
...
The laboratory may also be
required to participate in proficiency testing, measurement audit or inter-laboratory comparison as
appropriate to their scope

ISO 22000 - Food safety management
ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System that can be applied to any organization in the food
chain, farm to fork
...
This provides customer confidence in the
product
...

ISO developed the Food Safety Management System Certification
...

The standard has requirements for Food Safety Management Systems processes and procedures and
requires that the organization implement prerequisite programs and HACCP
...
This means that you will have
a documented system in place and fully implemented throughout your facility that includes:
•
•
•

Effective Prerequisite Programs in place to ensure a clean sanitary environment
A Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Plan developed to identify, prevent and eliminate food
safety hazards
...


The ISO 22000 standard contains the specific requirements to be addressed by the Food Safety
Management System
...

Setting objectives that will drive your companies efforts to comply with this policy
...

Maintaining records of the performance of the system
