Organizing Patient Safety

Concern for the safety of patients has always been part of the practice and organization of medicine. Te obligation of doctors to consider the risk of intervention and the safety of patients was present in the Hippocratic corpus of writings and has been an integral part of teaching medicine and regulating medical misconduct since antiquity. Today, the well-known axiom ‘above all, do no harm’ (in Latin primum non nocere) is, in spite of its contested origin, understood as a cornerstone in medical codes of conduct. Tis ethical norm of non-malefcence is taught in medical schools throughout the world not so much as a rigid rule or a fundamental principle, but as a symbol of sound clinical judgement (Brewin 1994) and as a reminder that all clinical activity carries the potential for harm (Smith 2005). In this way, the norm of non-malefcence is integral to the ethical formation of medical students, where learning to become a doctor involves the ability to practise medicine in the face of fallibility and uncertainty. It involves the inculcation of the fact that as a clinician your decisions and actions might cause harm, disability and death for the patients, regardless of your good intentions (Fox 1957; Paget 1988). From an organizational and societal perspective, managing medical error and misconduct function as a way to establish the line between acceptable and unacceptable medical practice and ofce-holding.
Bone Toxicology[taliem.ir]

Bone Toxicology

This chapter is intended to provide the researcher with information to facilitate in the design, execution, and interpretation of studies with bone endpoints. The ability to use our knowledge of bone biology to ensure study conditions are optimal to detect an effect will be presented. This includes study design considerations and the utility of other models to explore the impact new compounds may have on the skeleton in the development of safe and effective drugs.

Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for Fish Processing

The Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industryspecific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP)1. When one or more members of the World Bank Group are involved in a project, these EHS Guidelines are applied as required by their respective policies and standards. These industry sector EHS guidelines are designed to be used together with the General EHS Guidelines document, which provides guidance to users on common EHS issues potentially applicable to all industry sectors. For complex projects, use of multiple industry-sector guidelines may be necessary. A complete list of industry-sector guidelines can be found at: www.ifc.org/ifcext/enviro.nsf/Content/EnvironmentalGuidelines The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities by existing technology at reasonable costs. Application of the EHS Guidelines to existing facilities may involve the establishment of site-specific targets, with an appropriate timetable for achieving them. The applicability of the EHS Guidelines should be tailored to the hazards and risks established for each project on the basis of the results of an environmental assessment in which site-specific variables, such as host country context, assimilative capacity of the environment, and other project factors, are taken into account.
