Moodle. :: Context checklist Establishing the context means building a profile of the activity and the environment in which that activity will occur.
It involves establishing the parameters and boundaries of the organisation or activity being undertaken and determining such issues as time frames, resources required, roles and responsibilities, etc. This will help define the scope of the risk assessment, determine the evaluation criteria and establish the stakeholder objectives. :: Steps in determining the context Text version of diagram (html pop up) Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan - City of Melbourne.

CDC LC Quick Learn: Using an Epi Curve to Determine Mode of Spread. This Quick Learn lesson will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
When you are finished, you will be able to determine the outbreak's likely mode of spread by analyzing an epidemic curve, or “epi curve.” You can move through this lesson by using the NEXT and BACK icons below. Next Page » X and Y Axes An epidemic curve, or “epi curve,” is a visual display of the onset of illness among cases associated with an outbreak. The horizontal x-axis is the date or time of illness onset among cases. The vertical y-axis is the number of cases. Each axis is divided into equally spaced intervals, although the intervals for the two axes may differ. Next Page »« Prev Page What an Epi Curve Can Tell You. Upstream or downstream?

Looking at hazards in different ways, through different conceptual frameworks is always useful as it tends to make you think about things, however slightly, in a different way.
A framework often used in injury prevention, in road accident research and public health is the Haddon Matrix. This was devised by William Haddon back in the 1970s for use in road traffic accidents. The basic matrix is divided into 12 cells. The rows are defined by the temporal aspect of the event; pre, during and post, whilst the columns are defined as ‘host’ (you could rethink this as ‘the individual’), ‘equipment’ and two for environment; one for ‘physical’, one for ‘social’. The idea is to fill in each of the cells with key aspects that will influence or did the hazardous event.
The example provided is for road traffic accidents but the basis can be translated to other types of hazard. This framework does have its limitations. Human Health Risk Assessment. Identify, assess and control hazards. Risk assessment on COVID-19, 10 August 2020. As countries regained control of transmission and alleviated the burden on healthcare, many measures were relaxed or removed to allow for a more viable way of life with the virus in circulation.
Subsequently, a recent increase in COVID-19 cases has been reported in many EU/EEA countries. What is the risk of further escalation of COVID-19 in the countries that have reported a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, as of 10 August 2020? In EU/EEA countries and the UK where a recent increase in cases has been reported: The risk of further escalation of COVID-19 is high in countries that have also had an increase in hospitalisations, providing a strong indication that there is a genuine increase in transmission occurring.
