Richard Parker Partners: Boston Public Schools, Boston Fire Department, Boston Police Department. The goal of the Boston Public Schools and the City of Boston Local Emergency Planning Committee Toxic Use Reduction collaboration was to develop a prototype program to reduce and maintain restricted minimal use of toxic chemicals in two Boston Public Schools, one middle school and one high school. To accomplish this, a central team consisting of the City of Boston Local Emergency Planning Committee, Fire Department and the Boston Public Schools worked with a team from the two schools. The school teams consisted of one administrator and three teachers. The school teams worked with the central team to: Develop a plan to educate the staff of the dangers of toxic chemical in their schools.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 5, 2004 More Collaborative Efforts Needed to Increase Consumer Understanding of Nutrition and Food Safety, Says NFPA (Washington , D.C.) – In response to the publication of a report by the National Academies of Science, titled “Exploring a Vision: Integrating Knowledge for Food and Health,” Dr. Rhona Applebaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Science Officer for the National Food Processors Association (NFPA), made the following comments: “Many of the suggestions in this report – including the promotion of greater nutrition and food safety awareness, integrating food-health research with behavioral studies, and beginning nutrition education in early childhood – reflect recommendations NFPA has long made. NFPA believes that increased communication, collaboration, and cooperation is needed among all stakeholders – including government, industry, academia, public health professionals and societies, and consumers – on various research and educational activities. “Behavioral studies and early childhood nutrition and food safety education are particularly important. In comments to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which is now considering revisions to the 2005

But where can you go for guidance about proven safety practices? Web site provides readers with a wealth of practical information. The following is a suggested checklist of safety concerns in K-12 science labs adapted with permission from the Council of State Science Supervisors. (This and other related materials are available online at: csss.enc.org/safety.htm Safety Equipment Keep appropriate safety equipment on hand, including an emergency shower, eye-wash station, fume hood, fire blankets, and fire extinguisher. All students and teacher(s) should have and wear safety goggles and protective aprons when working in the lab. Ensure proper eye protection devices are worn by everyone engaged in supervising, observing, or conducting science activities involving potential hazards to the eye. Provide protective rubber or latex gloves for students when they dissect laboratory specimens.

Publications Reports Resource Papers Meetings ... Home Summary Collaborative Education to Ensure Patient Safety September 2000 The full version of this 150 page report is available in PDF format (6,660 KB) Page 1 Executive Summary Finding One: Patient safety cannot be accomplished without interdisciplinary practice approaches. Safety depends upon implementation of a unified interdisciplinary system that addresses the realities of practice and patient care. Education and practice methods must stress interdisciplinary team approaches. Finding Two: Patient safety gains are unlikely to be achieved at a satisfactory pace in the absence of revolutionary changes. The more common, relatively slow evolutionary processes that tend to govern change in the health care system are considered to be inadequate to counter the present level of threat to patient safety. Finding Three: Current system discontinuities need to be confronted towards the aim of building a true, safety-oriented system of care. Discontinuities exist often at the interfaces between various components of existing health care systems and significant improvements are required in the ways in which such interfaces are managed. Information has a major role to play in reducing the discontinuities and enhancing the ability of health care teams to manage successfully through the interfaces. Finding Four: A significant cultural change in medicine and nursing is required to achieve the needed gains in patient safety.

U. S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition September 1998 (See updated accomplishments , February 1999) Recent Program Accomplishments Dear Member, FDA Foods Community: Having now been Director of FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) for six months, I wanted to provide you a "progress report" on the Center's recent program accomplishments as shown in the enclosure. Although a number of these accomplishments were nearly completed or in process when I arrived at CFSAN, I wanted you to see the high level of activity that has occurred in fulfillment of our public health mission. Implementation of the President's Food Safety Initiative is the Center's top priority. In conjunction with other federal agencies and the states, we have improved our ability to rapidly identify, contain, and track causes of foodborne illness. We are implementing seafood HACCP, and have initiated possible expansion of HACCP to address identifiable hazards in the food supply when supported by the science. We are continuing to develop prevention and education programs that address risks throughout the "Farm to Table" food chain. And we are conducting research and risk assessments to support these initiatives. The Center has made demonstrable progress in many other important program areas as well. For example, we have approved several significant food additive petitions. We are addressing health claims issues under both the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 and the FDA Modernization Act of 1997. We are developing the regulatory framework for implementing the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. And we are actively engaged in international harmonization activities.
