Doctors At Risk: A Problem As Viewed By Decision Analysis, Leonard P. Caccamo, Kimbroe J. Carter, Barbara A. Erickson, William R. Johnson, Edward Kessler

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

The authors closely analyze a case in which a Peer Review Organization cited a physician for treatment with potential for significant adverse effect. They also critique the regulatory scheme under which peer review occurs and conclude that such regulation interferes with physicians' primary obligations, fails to encourage cost-effective behavior and may decrease the quality of medical care.

Recognizing Risks And Paying For Risk Reduction, Gary W. Johnson

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Inspired by a recent report of EPA's Science Advisory Board, Mr. Johnson argues that it is imperative that we set regulatory priorities lest we invest available resources in reducing Risks that are lower than others that might instead be addressed.

Fertile Women May Now Apply: Fetal Protection Policies After Johnson Controls, Barbara Ruhe Grumet

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

In its recent interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Supreme Court leaves little room for permissible occupational sex discrimination. However, its decision has wider implications. Here, Professor Grumet takes a look at some of them from both a legal and a social perspective, including matters such as employees' reproductive freedom and employers' potential liability for a variety of possible injuries to employees' offspring.


Regulating Air Toxics In Rhode Island: Policy Vs. Technical Decisions, Julie A. Roque Mar 1991

Regulating Air Toxics In Rhode Island: Policy Vs. Technical Decisions, Julie A. Roque

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Roqu6 recounts her work as a doctoral candidate at Brown in developing standards for the regulation of airborne carcinogens. Based in part on this experience, she argues that care needs be taken lest those who regulate Risk bury key policy decisions within a mass of often irrelevant technical details.

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty Mar 1991

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

In this part, Professor Petty examines bicycle Risk in detail, comparing the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with market forces resulting in, e.g., the development and use of hardshell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he briefly discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk. Ultimately he concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, regulation has failed to be as effective as other forces tending to reduce bicycle injuries. [Part I appears at 77.]

Predictive Probabilities In Employee Drug-Testing, John M. Gleason, Darold T. Barnum

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Substance abuse in the U.S. has been estimated to cost $99 billion annually through lower productivity. Yet the authors urge caution in attempting to reduce these costs and health and safety Risks. In doing so, they cite commonly high frequencies of false negatives and false positives in employee drug tests - the latter having the potential to do great injustice to many drug-free employees.

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part I), Ross D. Petty

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

This part of the article describes events leading to the creation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission - and the on-going debate between those who believe safety regulation is necessary and those who believe that market forces can achieve acceptable levels of Risk. The author also sets the stage for a detailed examination of bicycle Risk. In the next issue, he compares the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with, e.g., the development and use of hard-shell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk and ultimately concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, …
