Industrial scientists, therefore, hold a very high public trust. There is a need to go beyond the requirements of scientific canons and demonstrate to the lay public that its trust has been upheld. A number of industrial firms have recognized and responded to this need. Wilder, of Eastman Chemical, for example, describes a proactive pollution prevention policy developed in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency.112 This work describes the key role of analytics in helping chemical manufacturers take leadership roles in redesigning processes for waste prevention. Since the analytical laboratory is a principal referee in the production process, there is always a risk that time pressures will tempt some members of the production team to "work the referee". An important function of the chain of command of the analytical laboratory, therefore, is establishing a clear operational policy to ensure that any such pressure does not reach the bench level ...

This book was produced under the auspices of the Dyers Company Publications Trust. The Trust was instituted by the Worshipful Company of Dyers of the City of London in 1971 to encourage the publication of textbooks and other aids to learning in the science and technology of colour and coloration and related fields. The Society of Dyers and Colourists acts as trustee to the fund. 

This Second Edition of a textbook first published in 1990 forms part of a series on colour and coloration technology initiated by the Textbooks Committee of the Society of Dyers and Colourists under the aegis of the Dyers Company Publications Trust Management Committee, which administers the trust fund generously provided by the Worshipful Company of Dyers. 

Trust in risk information about food-related hazards is an important determinant of public reactions to risk information. One of the central questions addressed by the risk communication literature is why some individuals and organizations are trusted as sources of risk information whereas others are not. Industry and government often lack public trust, whereas other sources are highly trusted (such as consumer organizations, selected media, and physicians). Their analyses indicate that knowledge in itself does not make one a trusted source, but that trusted sources are characterized by multiple positive attributes.

The FDA is committed to protecting the participants of clinical trials, as well as providing reliable information to those interested in participating. Recently, unethical behavior on the part of some researchers has shaken the public trust and prompted the federal government to establish regulations...

This chapter is concerned primarily with the technical activities involved in setting environmental standards. However, standard setting is not an entirely technical pursuit. Those responsible for recommending new standards are increasingly expected to look at the costs of introducing a new standard and to regulate in a way that retains public trust. Regulators and scientists must take account of these realities.

The chemical industry is facing a crisis in terms of its sustainability. Public trust in the industry needs to be restored in many EU countries and economic growth in the sector needs to be uncoupled from increased production volumes. REACH only begins to address these two issues. While REACH will generate information on chemical risks and will reset the frame of reference on what constitutes sufficient toxicological data for carrying out hazard assessments, it does not address how to control exposure levels. Apart from the authorisation process, REACH does not even propose specific mechanisms to control the increasing concentrations of synthetic chemicals in human blood and environmental media. 

Public trust in normal, everyday food products has somewhat eroded in recent years although our food has never been as safe as today. The imbalance between this reality and a mythical perception concerning the quality of our food needs to be neutralised in order to regain lull confidence in food products. This needs homework in our direct fields of activities, but also efforts in ensuring an adequate political and regulatory environment for our business which must be based on sound scientific knowledge and not on short term, opportunistic political orientation. 

PHNs are a recognized and appreciated part of their communities. Like all branches of nursing, they benefit from an established history of public trust. With their expertise coordinating and implementing large-scale programs that address the needs of the community, PHNs are well positioned to assume a leadership role in a disaster response. 

Of course even the nineteenth-century conservation and public health movements had ancient sources. Around 530 ad, the Roman emperor Justinian codified the legal basis for natural resource protection - the idea that air, water, oceans, wildlife, and more are owned by all of us together and none of us individually, and that the sovereign has a duty to protect and conserve these resources for present and future generations. The code of Justinian eventually led to the modern public trust doctrine of environmental management and protection, described below. 

Few will disagree that the Responsible Care program is one of the most recognized voluntary environmental initiatives launched by an industry sector. Many proponents acknowledge that Responsible Care has reduced releases to air, land, and water, and improved worker and community safety. While the social dimension was core to the original vision of Responsible Care , the program s impact on public trust has met with mixed reviews. On the economic front, Responsible Care is yet to be recognized as a business-driven initiative. 

The main objectives of Responsible Care were to regain public trust and demonstrate leadership beyond compliance by improving the environmental performance of the industry as a whole and by improving community relations.
