THE INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF HEALTH RISK MANAGEMENT AT THE REGIONAL AND MUNICIPAL LEVELS

A system of measures aimed at the management of public health risks caused by adverse environmental factors identified by socio-hygienic monitoring has been created and successfully implemented in the Sverdlovsk Region. Priority tasks and measures for subjects of management for securing sanitary and epidemiologic welfare and health risk management are substantiated annually in the system of socio-hygienic monitoring based on results of the system analysis and risk assessment. The article demonstrates economic and the social relevance of their implementation and prospects of introduction.

Meat Samples

AbstractMicrobiological studies on chicken meat and carcasses are well documented, but very few studies exist on goose meat and carcasses. Therefore, in this study, dried goose carcass samples were collected from the local households in Kars/Turkey and microbiologically analyzed in terms of public health risks. The total mesophilic viable count was found to be 6.58 (mean log10 CFU g−1) (100%). The number of Enterobacteriaceae was 4.85 (92.8%). Coliform bacteria was counted at the numbers of 2.98 (67.8%), while it was 3.95 (91.1%) for the enterococci, 0.42 (26.7%) for the clostridia, 0.04 (3.5%) for the Clostridium perfringens, and 0.41 (12.5%) for the coagulase positive staphylococci. The numbers of mould and yeast were 0.93 (25%) and 4.81 (94.6%), respectively. Salmonellae and Bacillus cereus could not be isolated in the samples. The results indicate that the dried goose meat samples had poor hygienic quality, contained some of the pathogen microorganisms that are likely to pose a potential health risk.

Risk Assessment And Management

The paper presents approaches to the implementation the basic paradigm of the development for the legislative and regulatory framework to ensure the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population based on the comprehensive implementation of the methodology of the health risk assessment and management. The consistent implementation of the legislative and regulatory framework should provide getting answers main questions: what, where, when, how we are to assess and above all how we have to manage and control health risks. The suggested approach involves the accumulation capacities and resources of all the stakeholders: State-Russian Federation constituent-municipality-economic entity-non-governmental organizations-population in the assessment, management and control health risks both for the public in general and for certain socio-economic groups. This integrated system is aimed at the decline of public health risks to levels that cannot be detected using current knowledge and methods. The described requirements for incorporation of health risk assessment, management and monitoring methods into the health, consumer rights and labor legislation framework and other areas of legislative regulation must be applicable for corporate entities’ and sole entrepreneurs’ various business activities that affect (pose a threat, create a risk, cause harm) public health as well as regulation of the social and economic development of the nation in general.

Management Issues

Stakeholders in the public health risk analysis community can possess differing opinions about what is meant by “conduct a risk assessment.” In reality, there is no one-size-fits-all risk assessment that can address all public health issues, problems, and regulatory needs. Although several international and national organizations (e.g., Codex Alimentarius Commission, Office International des Epizooties, Food and Agricultural Organization, World Health Organization, National Research Council, and European Food Safety Authority) have addressed this issue, confusion remains. The type and complexity of a risk assessment must reflect the risk management needs to appropriately inform a regulatory or nonregulatory decision, i.e., a risk assessment is ideally “fit for purpose” and directly applicable to risk management issues of concern. Frequently however, there is a lack of understanding by those not completely familiar with risk assessment regarding the specific utility of different approaches for assessing public health risks. This unfamiliarity can unduly hamper the acceptance of risk assessment results by risk managers and may reduce the usefulness of such results for guiding public health policies, practices, and operations. Differences in interpretation of risk assessment terminology further complicate effective communication among risk assessors, risk managers, and stakeholders. This article provides an overview of the types of risk assessments commonly conducted, with examples primarily from the food and agricultural sectors, and a discussion of the utility and limitations of these specific approaches for assessing public health risks. Clarification of the risk management issues and corresponding risk assessment design needs during the formative stages of the risk analysis process is a key step for ensuring that the most appropriate assessment of risk is developed and used to guide risk management decisions.
