Firm sells waste oil as cooking oil China Post
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Southern Taiwan
Investigation Center of the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) busted an
illegal oil supplier yesterday, saying that the main suspect, surnamed Kuo,
recycled cooking oil and sold it to oil manufacturers as a fresh product. This
resulted in at least 200 tons of waste oil entering the food market.
According to investigators, 200 tons of
polluted oil may have already been sold to Chung Guann Co. Ltd. (強冠公司), a well-known local cooking oil manufacturer.
The company denied buying waste oil
intentionally, saying that it knew nothing about the poor quality of the oil it
bought. However, the company said that it did buy 200 tons of oil from another
supplier owned by Kuo. Chung Guann further stated that from this purchase the
company produced 51,000 barrels of lard oil. Currently, there are only 3,000
barrels left in their inventory. The company has started to retrieve the other
48,000 barrels of oil from its customers.
In addition, the company said it followed
the investigators' order to start a probe into the matter on Sept. 1. Not until
Sept. 2 was it aware that Kuo had sold waste oil. The company has already
started to reverse the damage with its customers.
Rather than selling these products to
clients directly, Chung Guann sold its products to other distributors that
supply restaurants and shops. Therefore, the company has to track the waste oil
through its distributors.
The president of Chung Guann also
apologized to the public yesterday. He emphasized that the company did not
intentionally buy waste oil, and the price that Kuo offered was not cheaper
than other oil suppliers. However, he regrets that the company caused a food
security problem due to its carelessness.
It was discovered yesterday that one of the
biggest food manufacturers, Wei Chuan Corp. (味全公司), has
used the polluted oil. The company actively reported that 12 of Wei Chuan's
products may have used oil from Chung Guann and will be removed from the market
soon.

十大賣命工作
10 Most
Dangerous Jobs! (the10mostknown.com)
9- Bodyguards
Although a security guard for
establishments is already a dangerous job for anyone, how much more if you are
guarding a very important person like a wealthy businessman, a very famous
celebrity, or even the President? These bodyguards literally serve as human
shield for their clients! Usually, they protect politically powerful people
and, with that amount of fame, it is very likely that they will encounter
assault, assassination, threats, kidnapping, and other dangerous encounters.
8- Stuntmen
In order for action movies to become
believable, their stunts need to be actually done as much as possible. However,
famous celebrities are not expected to do their own stunts (especially not with
that beautiful face!). So, most of the time, movie producers hire stuntmen to
do the same for their celebrity counterparts. These stunts are very dangerous
and can likely cause fractured bones, burns, and other fatal consequences.
6- Linemen
Being hired as a lineman is a very
dangerous job because there is a high chance of being electrocuted if not
falling from a great height. As per 100,000 linemen, the fatality rate in this
line of work is approximately 33 percent.
3- Firefighter
Fighting against waves of flames, being a
firefighter or a fireman is one of the deadliest jobs in the world. Although
these men are trained extensively, it is inevitable that they suffer fatal
consequences during rescue operations, especially when they are trained an
expected to save as many lives as possible. Regardless whether it is a fire
savaging a residential property or a huge forest fire, these men put their
lives second to the people they are helping. Hence, they are likely to get
burned severely, suffer physical injuries, inhale hazardous chemicals and
excessive smoke, or get trapped inside burning or collapsing buildings.
2- Fishermen
If you think that being a fisherman is an
easy job, you are wrong! The waters are not as calm as what they look like at
the beach or coastline. Out in the open sea, fishermen are ravaged by gigantic
waves which can swallow them in an instant or they can get stuck in the middle
of nowhere due to malfunctioning gears.
1- Military or Police
The most dangerous job in the world is
being a military or police. For 24 hours a day and seven days a week, they are
expected to keep their heads up for possible casualties or to maintain the
peace and order in their community. Their work does not stop even though they
take off their uniform and badges. Especially to the military who are deployed
to conflicted areas, they have to remain vigilant in their every move. These
people sacrifice their whole life for the defense of their country that they
have sworn to.

味全中鏢 12產品下架
〔自由時報〕國內再爆黑心餿水油風暴，流入小吃、烘焙業的劣質食用油超過六百八十三公噸，食品大廠味全也中彈！
刑事局南部打擊犯罪中心昨逮捕涉案的郭姓業者等五男一女，南打偵三隊長李宏倫表示，主嫌郭烈成（卅二歲）在屏東縣竹田鄉經營地下油行，去年初開始從胡姓環保回收油業者處蒐購餿水油及皮革廢油等，過濾煮摻加工，降低油品中的「酸價值」到二．五以下，符合食用油檢測標準後，蒙混成豬油轉售給高雄強冠公司。
主嫌郭烈成坦承犯行。據了解，他以每公斤十二元買進餿水油，再以每公斤約廿二元到卅元轉售強冠，一年下來獲利達四百多萬元。
台北市衛生局食品藥物管理處長邱秀儀說，回收油品可能含有黃麴毒素、重金屬、氧化膽固醇等，容易引發腹瀉及造成肝臟負擔。
十大賣命工作 消防員居首位
日前高雄嚴重氣爆案，造成多位消防人員不幸殉職，再度引發職場安全議題。根據1111人力銀行今(27)日發布的最新調查指出，國內十大賣命工作冠軍就是消防員，其次是搬家工人，第3是警察；主因是工時太長、工作具危險性，以及薪水和工作不成比例。
至於其他賣命工作，還有鍋爐相關人員、送貨員／快遞／郵差、洗窗工、板模工、線纜維修人員、房仲業務、清潔人員。
台灣十大危險工作排名大調查
近來台灣地區地震頻傳，而一有強烈地震，媒體的焦點就鎖定台北101，因為民國91年331大地震就奪走四名高樓作業人員的生命。1111人力銀行調查全國危險工作排名，位居第一名「電力高壓工程施工人」員、第三名「大樓洗窗清潔工」和第八名「特技演員」，他們的工作雖然「高高在上」卻都並不輕鬆；至於消防和警察人員的工作危險程度也分列為第五和第七名。不過向「錢」看則是許多受訪者認為會考慮選擇從事高危險性工作的最大原因。
為呼籲社會大眾正視工作場所的安全問題，1111人力銀行特別進行危險工作排名調查，來關心這群用生命拼生活的朋友。調查時間自93年10月28日至93年11月12日，共回收有效問卷1,300份，在95%信心水準下，誤差值為正負2.7%。
十大危險工作，高空工作占三位
根據這項調查結果，上班族選出的前十大危險工作，排名依序是第一名電力高壓工程施工人員、第二名化學原料業（硫酸、硝酸、鹽酸）製造工作、第三名大樓洗窗清潔工、第四名採砂石業爆破工人、第五名消防工人、第六名油罐車／瓦斯載運工、第七名警察、第八名特技演員、第九名醫療廢棄物處理人員，以及第十名為礦工。
1111人力銀行副總經理兼發言人吳睿穎指出，英國一家保險公司今年10月份曾評估不同職業的風險，發現五大高危險工作依次是擦窗工人、士兵、消防員、漁夫和飛機師，警員只排第六位。而台灣民眾顯然也認同大樓洗窗清潔工的工作危險程度，選為第三名危險的工作。
高空工作的確讓不少民眾聞之卻步，而此次調查結果高空的工作環境就佔了三位，除了洗窗工作外，電力高壓工程施工人員的工作，除了在高空之外，同時還極有可能發生觸電的致命危險，因此一般人認為其危險程度尤勝於擦窗工人。至於特技演員在帶給觀眾歡樂的背後，是更多危險所換來的。至於在救災時須搭乘雲梯車「高來高去」救人滅火的消防人員，工作的辛苦更是不言可喻。
5成3上班族屈就經濟壓力願選高危險工作
而在何種情況下會選擇從事高危險性工作？在至多複選三項的條件限制下，排名前三位的原因都跟「錢」有關，有高達52.77%受訪上班族認為當經濟壓力大時會從事高危險性工作，而薪水高也是上班族會願意「明知山有虎，偏向虎山行」的另一項重要原因，有42.38%受訪者勾選此選項；而排名第三的可能原因則是認為可以「短期賺大錢」，占39.92%。
另外，也有超過三成受訪上班族在找不到工作時，會以選擇高危險性工作來「度小月」；但並非會考慮選擇從事高危險性工作的因素都如此消極，24.23%受訪者在可以「增加人生歷鍊」的情況下，會選擇從事高危險性工作。
工作危險性？上班族打3.8分
台灣地區的上班族普遍認為目前的工作環境危險性並不高，以0到10分來評比，分數愈高危險性愈高的情況下，受訪上班族給自己工作的安全係數平均是3.84分，有13.62%的受訪者甚至樂觀的打了0分，而共有高達73.3%的上班族打的分數都在5分以下。
從行業類別分析，認為自己工作最危險的是醫藥生化業，平均分數4.7分，其次是傳統製造業4.3分，排名第三的是餐飲旅遊娛樂業4.1分；至於對工作環境的安全狀況最有信心的是人民團體、文教出版業和媒體傳播廣告業。
傳播廣告業不危險？ 放乾冰也可致植物人
但自認為工作場所安全無虞的媒體傳播廣告業，日前才出現為了一場選舉造勢活動，卻因施放乾冰時安全知識不足，而使得一個活蹦亂跳的年輕人倒臥病榻的事件，而且不知何時才醒得過來，當時在場可能變成植物人的工作人員，正是因為擔任公關公司企劃師辦理活動所致。
坐在辦公室，也可能過勞死
可見對自己工作環境的危險認知普遍不足，也是許多台灣上班族的共同問題。因此當詢問到工作的價值觀何者為重時，有6成1的上班族多係以工作的可發展性為首要考量，其次只有不到2成受訪上班族考慮到職場安全性。
但事實上，工作場所在室內就真的安全嗎？吳睿穎指出，就算是固定坐在辦公室的上班族，也不一定代表沒有生命危險，「過勞症」是否列入職業病正引發熱烈討論，超時工作與工作型態是過勞症的發病主因。
