Communication Practices In Engineering, Manufacturing, And Research For Food And Water Safety

Safety continues to be a primary concern in the food, water, and pharmaceutical industries. Written by experts in food, drug, and water safety, this book examines some of the ways in which communication has affected safety issues in the recent past and encourages discussions about what improvements can be made. In particular, it helps engineers who are directly involved in creating safety systems and procedures to communicate these designs to other engineers and to general public. Case studies to illustrate the topics, including a case study on the mad cow disease outbreak, are provided.
