Summary
Conflict, it occurs in any workplace, and always needs to be carefully managed. In many ways, there is a greater potential for conflict to occur in an aged care environment than in a number of other workplaces. Relationships with residents or clients, their families and carers, other health professionals and managers of aged care services can require delicate balancing. There is generally a range of emotions and issues involved in the care of vulnerable people, and aged care workers often find themselves in positions where they need to think on their feet and deal with conflict effectively. A range of skills needed for conflict resolution are examined, and the programme finishes with a look at behaviours that elicit resistance, and those that elicit cooperation.

Summary
Health and safety is something we tend to take for granted - until an accident happens that affects us personally. And then it's too late. This practical programme demonstrates the core health and safety issues that affect us all, such as lifting things, and shows why being careful has to become second nature even when we're really busy. The key message is that we have to take responsibility for our own safety, and the safety of others, at all times. Using Rick Stein's Seafood restaurant and hotel business as a case study, the programme demonstrates how health and safety procedures and principles involve people from different parts of the business - chefs, waiters, admin staff, cleaners, and drivers. It covers three main areas of health and safety at work: manual handling; fire; slips, trips, cuts and burns.

Summary
Imagine a world with no food regulations that protected the public from harmful foods and ingredients - products high in harmful chemicals; no use by dates; inadequate packaging - it would be catastrophic. In Australia and New Zealand, the organisation responsible for this is Food Standards Australia New Zealand - or FSANZ. The independent government organisation as we know it today came into existence in 2001. This program looks at the nature and structure of the organisation; its goals; its interaction with the food industry; the development of food standards; and the relationship between FSANZ and other authorities. Various perspectives on the vital and complex work of FSANZ are offered by the organisation's communications manager, Lydia Buchtmann, also Brendan Gillespie the Operations Manager of pasta manufacturing company, Ubaldi Foods, and Moreland City Council's environmental health officer, Vicky Lambropoulous.

Summary
'Pure food' became the rallying cry among a divergent group of campaigners who lobbied Congress for a law regulating foods and drugs. James Harvey Young reveals the complex and pluralistic nature not only of that crusade but also of the broader Progressive movement of which it was a significant strand. In the vivid style familiar to readers of his earlier works, The Toadstool Millionaires and The Medical Messiahs, Young sets the pure food movement in the context of changing technology and medical theory and describes pioneering laws to control imported drugs and domestic oleomargarine. He explains controversy within the pure food coalition, showing how farming and business groups sought competitive commercial advantage, while consumer advocates wished to promote commercial integrity and advance public health. The author focuses on how the public became increasingly fearful of hazards in adulterated foods and narcotic nostrums and how Congress finally achieved the compromises necessary to pass the Food and Drugs Act and the meat inspection law of 1906.

Summary
Our current industrial method of food production is increasingly viewed as an unsustainable system, destructive to the environment and public health. But what is the alternative? Fresh profiles the farmers, thinkers, and business people across the nation who are at the forefront of re-inventing food production in America. With a strong commitment to sustainability, they are changing how farms are run, how the land is cared for, and how food is distributed. Their success demonstrates that a new paradigm based on sustainable practices can be profitable and a model for our food system, if people choose to support it. Fresh opens with a short summary of the problems and consequences of industrialized food production, then focuses primarily on the individuals who are creating new approaches to address environmental, health, and economic challenges throughout the food chain. Joel Salatin is a world-famous sustainable farmer and entrepreneur who, by observing nature, devised a rotational grazing system for his animals that heals the land while making his operations many times more profitable than his conventional farming neighbors. Will Allen, a former pro basketball player and recipient of a Macarthur "Genius Award", is now one of the most influential leaders of the urban farming movement. He teaches people in the inner city the value of healthy food and how to grow their own. David Ball saw his family-run supermarket and a once-thriving local farming community dying with the rise of Walmart and other big chains. So he reinvented his business, partnering with area farmers to sell locally-grown food at an affordable price. His plan has brought the local economy back to life. Fresh also features a farmer in Iowa who illustrates the struggles family farmers face, a hog farmer in Missouri who stopped using antibiotics on his pigs, and commentary by noted food expert and author Michael Pollan.
