The aim of the thesis is to approach the issues of health and safety at work and work-related accidents in the construction industry. The theoretical part is devoted to the historical development of occupational health and safety in general, and consequently the development of inspection bodies operating in this area at present. Then there is also handled accident statistics for 2012. The practical part is a form of treatment for specific health and safety plan construction contract with a subsequent risk analysis.

The production of packaging goods for cement is one of the most important industries, contributing to income of many workers. Production activities, however, cause air pollution and health risk. The study was conducted to assess air quality and health risks of workers through air quality data and interviewing employees from 2016-2017 at a packaging production factory, Can Tho city, Vietnam. The findings indicated that temperature and noise exceeded the national technical regulations (QCVN 22-26: 2016/TT-BYT) while the humidity, wind speed, light, respirable particles, toxic gases (benzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)) were in accordance with the national standards for occupational health and safety (Decision 3733/2002/QĐ-BYT). However, health risk assessment showed that long-term exposure in this factory would result in severe impact on health of workers due to indoor air pollution. The non-cancer risk caused by benzene, toluene and MEK for workers in the working sections such as printing, film coating, weaving, spinning and pasting was expected to cause serious impact on workers’ health. The cancer risk (benzene) index was in the range of 1.3 x 10-5 to 7.7 x 10-4 and averaged at 3.3 x 10-4. The study clearly showed that benzene greatly contributes to serious workers’ health effects. Appropriate protection measures such as treatment of air pollutants, regular health check, wearing protective clothes should be implemented to mitigate impact of indoor air pollution at the factory. More importantly, it is necessary to reconsider the standard values of benzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone to ensure health of workers. / Công nghiệp sản xuất bao bì xi măng thuộc lĩnh vực ngành xây dựng là một trong những ngành công nghiệp quan trọng, đã góp phần mang lại nguồn thu nhập cho nhiều người lao động. Tuy nhiên hoạt động sản xuất cũng gây ra những vấn đề về ô nhiễm môi trường không khí và rủi ro sức khỏe. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá mức độ ô nhiễm môi trường không khí và đánh giá rủi ro sức khỏe của công nhân thông qua số liệu chất lượng môi trường không khí và phỏng vấn trực tiếp người lao động trong khoảng thời gian từ 2016 - 2017. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy nhiệt độ, tiếng ồn vượt qui chuẩn cho phép (QCVN 22-26:2016/TT-BYT) trong khi độ ẩm, tốc độ gió, ánh sáng, bụi hô hấp, hơi khí độc (Benzen, toluen, methyl ethyl ketone) đạt chuẩn cho phép theo tiêu chuẩn vệ sinh an toàn lao động (QĐ 3733/2002/QĐ-BYT). Tuy nhiên, kết quả đánh giá rủi ro sức khỏe cho thấy công nhân làm việc lâu dài sẽ bị ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến sức khỏe do ô nhiễm không khí. Rủi ro không gây ung thư do benzene, toluene và MEK gây ra đối với công nhân ở từng khu vực có thể gây ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến sức khỏe công nhân làm việc ở các khu vực sản xuất như in, tráng màng, dệt, kéo sợi và dán. Benzene gây rủi ro ung thư với xác suất từ 1 đến 7 người trong 10.000 người trong quá trình làm việc lâu dài tại nhà máy. Nghiên cứu cho thấy benzene đóng góp rất lớn vào khả năng gây ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến sức khỏe công nhân. Môi trường không khí bên trong nhà máy cần được cải thiện hơn nữa đồng thời tuyên truyền nâng cao ý thức công nhân thực hiện nghiêm túc bảo hộ lao động, tổ chức khám sức khỏe định kỳ cho công nhân. Quan trọng hơn là cần điều chỉnh lại các giá trị qui chuẩn để đảm bảo an toàn sức khỏe cho công nhân đang làm việc tại những nơi có sự hiện diện của khí độc như benzene, toluen, methyl ethyl ketone.

Adolescence is a particularly relevant in determining dants, whereas behaviors and habits acquired at this stage tend to persist into adulthood. Moreover, the behavior of risk the health of parents and siblings can influence health risk behavior of adolescents. Objectives: To evaluate the association between health risk behaviors among adolescent schoolchildren and their parents and siblings living in a rural area of the municipality of Rio Grande do Sul. Methodology: Cross-sectional study in a rural area in the town of Barão do Triunfo / RS . The sample will include young students from 5th to 8th grades in the municipal education, their parents and siblings at the age of adolescence (10-19 years). Will be collected on the adolescents, their parents and siblings, health risk behaviors (physical inactivity, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, poor eating habits and excess weight) in addition to socioeconomic, demographic and health of the population studied . For data collection the students were included questions about the work situation, and to measure the body fat percentage. Analysis Statistics: A description of the studied population, including the pertaining to school, parents and brothers, will be lead according to demographic, socioeconomics characteristics, mannering nutricionais and of health. The association between the studied outcomes and the independent variable will be evaluated with the test of Qui-square for heterogeneidade or linear trend. Relevance: With the data from this study, we have scientific grounds to carry out interventions and plan prevention strategies in the medium and long term in order to promote changes in habits and behaviors related to lifestyle for the whole family. / Entre os fatores de risco associados às doenças e agravos não transmissíveis (DANTs), destacam-se os relacionados ao estilo de vida, especialmente o tabagismo, a inatividade física, a alimentação inadequada e o consumo abusivo de álcool. A adolescência é um período especialmente relevante na determinação das DANTs, visto que comportamentos e hábitos adquiridos nessa fase tendem a se manter até a idade adulta. Além disso, o comportamento de risco à saúde de pais e irmãos pode influenciar o comportamento de risco à saúde de adolescentes. Objetivos: Avaliar a associação de comportamentos de risco à saúde entre adolescentes escolares do ensino fundamental e seus pais e irmãos moradores de um município de zona rural do Rio Grande do Sul.

La tesi si incentra sull’applicazione del diritto europeo in materia alimentare. L’elaborato prende il via dall’analisi degli obiettivi fondamentali e degli strumenti principali del diritto alimentare, del suo sviluppo storico e delle questioni che ha affrontato. L’applicazione del diritto alimentare è studiata esaminando il sistema dei controlli nell’Unione europea e la correlata implementazione sia da parte degli Operatori del settore alimentare sia da parte delle Autorità Competenti in due Stati membri (Italia e Olanda). Vengono, altresì, esaminati casi pratici in cui sono state rintracciate problematiche nell’applicazione del diritto alimentare o che hanno dimostrato le debolezze del sistema nel gestire le varie violazioni attinenti gli alimenti. Lo studio intende inoltre dimostrare le carenze del sistema normativo sviluppando un concetto teoretico quale quello delle violazioni dovute al “fattore umano” e del loro impatto sugli interessi economici dei consumatori. La tesi, quindi, si focalizza sugli strumenti più idonei alla gestione di violazioni di questa tipologia esaminando la legislazione recentemente adottata e prendendo in considerazione, altresì, le possibili soluzioni che possono derivare dai differenti approcci degli Stati membri e l’opportunità di utilizzare, parallelamente a regole ed attività svolte dalle Autorità competenti, standard privati. / The thesis analyses enforcement of EU food law. The analysis starts by concentrating on the EU Food Law central objectives and basic tools, its historical development and the issues it has aimed to face. Food Law Enforcement is analysed by examining food control systems in the European Union and their implementation by Food Business Operators as well as by the Competent Authorities in two Member States (Italy and The Netherlands). Cases are scrutinised where problems of enforcement or weaknesses of the system have come to light in dealing with various possible violations which concern food. The dissertation aims to show the shortcomings of the legal system and to contribute to solving them by developing a theoretical concept: that of behavioural infringements due to the human factor and of their impact on consumer economic interests. The dissertation, therefore, focuses on the most suitable instruments in dealing with these infringements by examining the newly adopted legislation and by looking at what can be learnt from different approaches chosen in the two Member States studies, including that of combining the Competent Authorities rules and activities to those of Private schemes.

The purpose of this diploma thesis is to understand financing of drug development from an enterprise risk management perspective as well as to critically assess the efficiency of the ISO framework and risk management techniques used for determining whether to fund drug development or not. The diploma thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first part starts with perception and assessment of uncertainty and risk in the past. It describes how risk-averse individuals attempted to deal with uncertainty and different risk. This is followed by the evolution of traditional risk management into the fast developing enterprise risk management. The text further analyses commonly used risk management standards COSO ERM and ISO 31000:2009. However, the main focus is on the critical assessment of analytical tools which are frequently used for evaluating and assessing risks, especially financial ones, during drug development. The theoretical part is finished by a drug development process, whose phases are briefly described. The practical part was written in co-operation with AstraZeneca, a top-notch pharmaceutical company. The overview of its business is preceded by an explanation of current issues in the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, the risk analysis is conducted with respect to the ISO framework. Subsequently, selected risk assessment techniques are applied on the simplified financial model of two different drugs, which was created based on AstraZeneca's real data. These risk assessment tools are used in different phases of drug development so it could be seen clearly how the results are changing during a project. The outcomes of this risk analysis are compared with original plans used by AstraZeneca which were used for deciding whether to fund drug development or not.
