involve situation which impose restrictions on normal investigative and inspection activities; or there is the need for extremely rapid development, requiring identification of violations and obtaining adequate substantiating evidence quickly. Decisions regarding what needs to be done must take into account the variety of facts review, lack of clearly applicable legal and regulatory guidelines, and the obstacles encountered such as incomplete and conflicting information and findings. These conditions cast some doubt on which of several possible approaches to take to overcome these difficulties and resolve compliance issues. Actions taken by the investigator require judgments on the accuracy and credibility of a large number of findings and records, the significance of and interrelationships between particular facts and findings from among a vast body of information, opinions, and observations, and the most appropriate legal interpretations and precedents to apply to the facts. The work also requires that methods be adapted to overcome significant obstacles that arise or that have been deliberately placed in the path of the investigation or inspection. Education Requirements Degree: that included at least 30 semester hours in one or a combination of the following: biological sciences, chemistry, pharmacy, physical sciences, food technology, nutrition, medical science, engineering, epidemiology, veterinary medical science, or related scientific fields that provided knowledge directly related to consumer safety officer work. The 30 semester hours can include up to 8 semester hours in statistics, or course work that included the principles, theory, or practical application of computers or computer programming.
