O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar na cadeia produtiva do camarão Litopenaeus vannamei os perigos à saúde animal e à saúde pública e as respectivas medidas de controle, a partir de levantamentos bibliográficos. Os principais perigos à saúde animal identificados foram os vírus da Mancha Branca, Cauda Amarela, Mionecrose Infecciosa, síndrome da Taura e bactérias hepatonecrosantes dos camarões, que ocasionam grandes prejuízos para a cadeia produtiva, devido à queda da produtividade e às elevadas taxas de mortalidade. Esses perigos apresentam riscos à saúde animal, quando se mantêm viáveis nas plantas de cultivo, decorrente das práticas inadequadas de manejo sanitário e da queda de qualidade da água nos viveiros. Quanto aos riscos à saúde humana, alguns patógenos como: Vibrio spp, Salmonella spp e Staphylococcus aureus apresentam perigo se presente e viável no camarão contaminado. O uso abusivo e indiscriminado de metabissulfito de sódio em diferentes concentrações nas plantas de processamento, de contaminantes inorgânicos e resíduos de medicamentos veterinários nas criações podem resultar em níveis elevados de toxicidade aos animais e ao ambiente, precisando, consequentemente ser corrigido com a adoção de boas práticas de manejo do ambiente, implantação de vazio sanitário e estabelecimento de parâmetros microbiológicos e ambientais nos viveiros. Por ser uma atividade promissora para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do país, é de extrema importância a adoção de medidas de controle destes perigos, que incluem a aplicação dos princípios das "Boas Práticas" e da "Análise de Perigos e Pontos Críticos de Controle" no manejo ambiental e sanitário em todos os elos da cadeia produtiva, dos criatórios até o consumo. / The objetive of this study was to identify in the production chain of shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei the hazards to animal health and public health and their control measures, from the literature. The main hazards to animal health were identified: viruses White Spot, Yellow Tail, Infectious Myonecrosis, Taura syndrome and Hepatonecrotysing bacteria of prawns, which promote large losses in the supply chain due to a drop in productivity and high mortality rates. They are considered dangerous to animal and human health, because they maintain viable pathogens in crop plants, resulting from inadequate health management practices and falling water quality in the ponds. In relation to chemical hazards, the indiscriminate use of sodium metabisulphite, inorganic contaminants and residues of veterinary drugs and pesticides can result in situations of high toxicity to animals and the environment, and must be controlled by adopting good environmental management practices, implementation of depopulation and the establishment of microbiological parameters and environmental conditions in nurseries. Physical hazards can be related to any failure in the process of industrialization and commercialization, in which the detection of foreign objects should be checked by visual inspection and the use of metal detectors. Since it is a promising socio-economic development of the country, it is extremely important to adopt measures to control these hazards, including the principles of " Good Practice" and "Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points " in the management of environment and health in all links in the production chain, from the farms to the consumers.

We present Information System Hazard Analysis (ISHA), a novel systemic hazard analysis technique focused on Clinical Information System (CIS)s. The method is a synthesis of ideas from United States Department of Defense Standard Practice System Safety (MIL-STD-882E), System Theoretic Accidents Models and Processes (STAMP) and Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM). The method was constructed to fill gaps in extant methods for hazard analysis and the specific needs of CIS. The requirements for the method were sourced from existing literature and from our experience in analysis of CIS related accidents and near misses, as well as prospective analysis of these systems. The method provides a series of iterative steps which are followed to complete the analysis. These steps include modelling phases that are based on a combination of STAMP and FRAM concepts. The method also prescribes the use of triangulation of hazard identification techniques which identify the effects of component and process failures, as well as failures of the System Under Investigation (SUI) to satisfy its safety requirements. Further to this new method, we also contribute a novel hazard analysis model for CIS as well as a safety factor taxonomy. These two artifacts can be used to support execution of the ISHA method. We verified the method composition against the identified requirements by inspection. We validated the method’s feasibility through a number of case studies. Our experience with the method, informed by extant safety literature, indicates that the method should be generalizable to information systems outside of the clinical domain with modification of the team selection phase. / Graduate
