ABSTRACT Risk analysis has become a well established field in the United States during the past two decades; it is used very effectively in several application areas to assess and manage risk. Advances in the application of risk analysis to a wider range of hazards, including biological hazards, and scenarios are now occurring. Definitions of risk analysis terms (including risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication) have been developed along with the rationale, purpose, and need for risk analysis in regulation. Generic principles and applications are presented. A risk analysis program for foodborne hazards is being developed by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A food risk analysis program for meat and poultry is being designed and some potential projects for risk assessment have been selected. All types of foodborne hazards (biological chemical, and physical) will be addressed in the new program. A general overview of risk assessment procedures and the organizational structure for the program are presented. National and international food risk analysis activities by the FSIS are summarized. The Agency expects the new risk analysis program to facilitate the regulation of FSIS-inspected food products.

In this study, the validity of the theoretical model was examined by applying a CFD model and comparing the results of the existing theoretical equations for predicting the flow velocity inside and outside water pipes, and the dangers around the water pipes in the torrent area in relation to the recent fatal accidents of firefighters was analyzed. The CFD simulation was performed using the commercial analysis program ANSYS R1; the actual accident site was measured and simplified. The flow velocity was measured four times faster inside the canal pipe than the outside, and the results were used to suggest a plan to prevent disaster relief activities and safety accidents.
