The role of cooperatives in food safety management of fresh produce chains: case studies in four strawberry cooperatives Ghent University
Status of food safety management activities in fresh produce companies in the European Union and beyond Ghent University
An increase in food safety incidences linked to fresh produce has been reported in recent years. Imports from the transitional economies have often been blamed for these incidences. However, limited information is available about the status of food safety management activities in companies in these countries and similar companies in the industrialised countries. In this study, the food safety management activities of 118 primary producers ...
Real-Time Crash Risk Prediction Models using Loop Detector Data for Dynamic Safety Management System Applications Hasselt University
There is a growing trend in development and application of real-time crash risk prediction models within dynamic safety management systems. These real-time crash risk prediction models are constructed by associating crash data with the real-time traffic surveillance data, collected by loop detectors. The objective of this paper is to develop a real-time prediction model that will potentially be utilized within safety management systems. This ...

Protocols for treating patients with suspected Sars-Cov-2 infections were established to protect medical staff and other patients from being infected. However, these protocols also led to increased safety risks, such as delays in treating patients with other medical conditions. ...
Food safety management systems in the East African Community : empirical evidence from the fresh produce sector in Kenya and Uganda Ghent University
Thus far, few studies concerning production, trade, organization of the supply chain and Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) for fresh produce, have concentrated specifically on Sub-Saharan African countries, which is exactly the gap in contemporary knowledge this study aims to bridge. The overall objective is to study the modalities and incentives for implementation of Food Safety Management Systems in two East African neighboring countries ...
