Review Poucher's Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps / Springer:Poucher's Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps has been in print since 1923 and is the classic reference work in the field of cosmetics. Now in its 10th edition, this new volume provides a firm basic knowledge of the science of cosmetics (including toiletries) as well as incorporating the latest trends in scientific applications and legislation which have occurred since the 9th edition. The book has been logically ordered into four distinct parts. The historical overview of Part I contains an essay demonstrating William Arthur Poucher's influence on the 20th century cosmetics industry as well as a chapter detailing the long history of cosmetics. Part 2 is a comprehensive listing of the properties and uses of common cosmetic types, ranging from antiperspirants through to sunscreen preparations. There are an increased number of raw materials in use today and their chemical, physical and safety benefits are carefully discussed along with formulation examples. The many additions since the last edition demonstrate the recent dramatic expansion in the industry and how changes in legal regulations affecting the development, production and marketing of old, established, and new products are operative almost worldwide. Information on specialist products for babies and others is included within individual chapters. The chapters in Part 3 support and outline the current guidelines regarding the assessment and control of safety and stability. This information is presented chemically, physically and microbiologically. [+]Part 3 chapters also detail requirements for the consumer acceptability of both existing and new products. Those legal regulations now in force in the EU, the USA and Japan are carefully described in a separate chapter, and the remaining chapters have been extensively updated to explain the technical and practical operations needed to comply with regulations when marketing. This information will be invaluable to European Union and North American companies when preparing legally required product information dossiers. The final chapters in Part 4 contain useful information on the psychology of perfumery as well as detailing methods for the conduct of assessment trials of new products. This edition will not only be an excellent reference book for students entering the industry, but also for those in specialized research companies, universities and other associated institutions who will be able to gain an overall picture of modern cosmetic science and industry. As ingredient labelling is now an almost universal legal requirement, the International Nomenclature of Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI) for raw materials has been used wherever practicable.

Review Applications of HAZOP and What-If Safety Reviews to the Petroleum, Petrochemical and Chemical Industries / Noyes Publications:This publication is intended to provide guidance to HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) and What-If review teams associated with the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries. It describes the nature, responsibilities, methods and documentation required in the performance of such reviews. This ensures the reviews are conducted in a timely, effective and professional manner as may be prescribed by a company's Process Safety Management (PSM) Policy. This book can be used as a practical reference to prepare the safety review requirements for these industries and their process safety management systems. HAZOP and What-If reviews are basically a communication exercise. Information is presented, discussed, analyzed and recorded. Specifically the safety aspects are identified, to determine if adequate design measures have been taken to prevent major accidents. The safety of petroleum and chemical facilities is an important part of a company's operations. Recent worldwide petrochemical safety regulations and a company's own process safety management policies would require that a process hazard analysis (PHA) review of its existing and proposed petroleum operations be accomplished. The limits of hazardous substances cited by both the U. [+]S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations dictate the applications of process safety management elements at almost all of a company's facilities. These reviews are intended to reduce the probability and/or consequences of a major incident that would have a detrimental impact to the employees, the public's well being, onsite or offsite properties, the environment, and most important to a company itself, its continued business operation and survival. Process hazard analysis reviews are not intended to identify the minor "slips, trips, or falls"; these are the responsibility of the company's general safety requirements and are well established. The process hazard analysis is looking for the major incidents which have the potential for severe impacts. HAZOP and What-If reviews are two of the most common petroleum and chemical industries qualitative methods used to conduct process hazard analyses. Up to 80% of a company's process hazard analyses may consist of HAZOP and What-If reviews with the remainder 20% from checklist, Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, etc. An experienced review team can use the analysis to generate possible deviations from design, construction, modification, and operating intent that define potential consequences. These consequences can then be prevented and/or mitigated by the application of the appropriate safeguards.

Review Haccp Case Studies 1: Meat, Fish, Poultry, Dairy Products and Catering (Institute of Food Science and Technology Series) / Wiley-Blackwell:Food Safety is an increasingly important issue. Numerous food crises have occurred internationally in recent years (the use of the dye Sudan Red I; the presence of acrylamide in various fried and baked foods; mislabelled or unlabelled genetically modified foods; and the outbreak of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) originating in both primary agricultural production and in the food manufacturing industries. Public concern at these and other events has led government agencies to implement a variety of legislative actions covering many aspects of the food chain. This book presents and compares the HACCP and ISO 22000:2005 food safety management systems. These systems were introduced to improve and build upon existing systems in an attempt to address the kinds of failures which can lead to food crises. Numerous practical examples illustrating the application of ISO 22000 to the manufacture of food products of animal origin are presented in this extensively-referenced volume. After an opening chapter which introduces ISO 22000 and compares it with the well-established HACCP food safety management system, a summary of international legislation relating to safety in foods of animal origin is presented. The main part of the book is divided into chapters which are devoted to the principle groups of animal-derived food products: dairy, meat, poultry, eggs and seafood. Chapters are also included on catering and likely future directions. The book is aimed at food industry managers and consultants; government officials responsible for food safety monitoring; researchers and advanced students interested in food safety.

Review The Biocides Business: Regulation, Safety and Applications / Wiley-VCH:Biocides are products which control harmful organisms by chemical or biological means. They protect health, improve product performance and prevent spoilage, and are increasingly important to modern life, as consumers demand safe, long-lasting and effective products from cosmetics to paints, and from drinking water to swimming pools. The worldwide market for biocides is approximately $4 billion annually, and it is growing at up to 40er annum. The industry is highly segmented and has a wide range of distribution channels. These markets are generally mature although over-the-counter biocides for home use have commercial characteristics similar to other fast-moving consumer goods. Biocides are one of the most highly regulated and controlled types of chemical product. In the EU, the biocides industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation due to the Biocidal Products Directive. The regulations are tougher than any existing legislation either within Europe or indeed in the rest of the world, and could cost the biocide industry over $490 million to put into action. These costs are too high to maintain the existing range of products and some, particularly those in niche markets, will no longer be viable. This book describes the regulatory controls and the safety assessment methods for biocides for the EU, the USA and Japan and other key markets within a commercial, political and socio-economic context providing a broad overview of their main uses as preservatives, disinfectants, and pest controls. [+]It will help industry, regulators and non-specialist readers get a balanced, up-to-date overview of biocides from the commercial and technical to the regulatory and safety aspects.

Review Hazards XVII: Process Safety - Fulfilling Our Responsibilities (Symposium Series 149) - IChemE (Symposium Series 149) / Institution of Chemical Engineers:Hazards XVII is the latest in the series of symposia run by the Institution of Chemical Engineers North West Branch since 1960. International academic, industrial and regulatory experts and practitioners have been brought together with support from respected UK, European and US safety organizations to address the theme ‘Process safety – fulfilling our responsibilities’. The process industry needs to adapt to changing social attitudes to risk, both to people and the environment, if it is to survive and prosper in the 21st Century. This is reflected in the amount of new legislation being introduced and the increasing penalties for breaches of health, safety and environmental legislation being exacted by the courts. No longer is safety the preserve of the safety officer. Together we are all responsible – management, individuals, society and the regulator. The 65 contributions presented at Hazards XVII consider the latest thinking by the regulators, research, case studies, accident investigations and contributions by safety consultants and industry. The papers cover a wide range of SHE activities including safety regulations, environmental protection, safety management, safe process design, storage, standards, risk factors and chemical reactions. To complement this proceedings volume, the accompanying CD-ROM presents the papers in a fully searchable form. It also provides a useful listing of the papers presented at previous conferences in the series, plus four other hazard-related symposia.
