Lesson Content

Meaning of Personal Security Management:

Personal security management involves protecting oneself and others from harm, particularly when it comes to food and drugs. In this lesson, we learned about managing security by ensuring that what we consume is safe. Some guidelines on maintaining good security for consumables include:

  1. Always check for security labels on food and drugs before purchasing.
  2. Avoid buying products from unauthorized vendors.
  3. Ensure that food and drugs have not passed their expiration date.
  4. Be cautious of unusually low prices for products that are typically expensive.
  5. Report any suspicious products to the appropriate authorities (e.g., NAFDAC).

Necessary reinforcement measures against violators of fake food and drugs:

  1. Heavy fines on violators.
  2. Imprisonment for those caught selling fake goods.
  3. Public awareness campaigns to educate people.
  4. Product recalls and destruction of unsafe products.
  5. Business license revocation for companies involved in producing or selling fake products.

Why the law should be strict on violators:

  1. To protect public health.
  2. To prevent further loss of lives.
  3. To discourage the circulation of fake products.
  4. To maintain trust in the food and drug industry.
  5. To ensure that manufacturers adhere to safety standards.
