MGT 401 Week 1 DQ 1 The Environment
The Environment
Why is it deemed necessary to protect the environment? What does it mean to society? To business? To the individual? To future populations? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 1 DQ 2 Risk Control
What are the primary elements of each of the three types of risk control? Assume you are in a hazard hunt; list a few factors in your job that may contribute to a hazard and how likely is it that a hazardous situation will occur? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 2 DQ 1 Hazard Classes
List the nine major hazard classes as outlined by the U.S Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Research a news article that covers one of the nine major hazard classes. Identify the hazard and explain how the hazard created the dangerous situation. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 2 DQ 2 Scenario
Isopropyl alcohol (I.P.A.) has a flash point of 53 degrees Fahrenheit. The outside temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. While this product is being unloaded from a truck, several cases fall to the floor and the product spills. Several large pieces of machinery and a welding operation are running nearby. Is there a potential danger from fire in this scenario? Justify your response. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 3 DQ 1 Respiratory Hazards
Choose two of the five Respiratory Hazards. Provide a brief explanation of each hazard and describe a situation in which you may encounter them. What effects would each of these hazards have on your body? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 3 DQ 2 Supplied-Air Respirator (S.A.R.) vs. Air-Purifying Respirator (A.P.R)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the S.A.R. versus the A.P.R.? What questions should you ask prior to selecting a respirator? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 3 Respiratory Protection Selection
It is the responsibility of the on-scene incident commander to control the access and safety of each hazardous site. One of the many tasks these senior officials perform is the accurate identification of the respiratory protection required to protect the workers entering the hazardous site. The selection of the correct air respirator is vital to the continued health of those entering, whether that is from particulates, gases and vapors, a combination of particulates and gases, oxygen deficient atmospheres, or environments with extremely high or low temperatures. Paul Gantt states in his textbook, Hazardous Materials Regulation, Response, & Site Operations, “There are two major types of respirators, the air-purifying system and the supplied air system.” (Gantt, 2009) Using these two major types of respirators in four different scenarios, this paper provides a brief description of each respirator then explores the selection process required of on-scene incident commanders. In each situation, the rational used to identify the proper respirator according to the workplace respiratory hazard is discussed.
MGT 401 Week 4 DQ 1 Confined Spaces
What are the most common causes of death in confined spaces? Which group of employees is most likely to succumb and why? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 4 DQ 2 Air Monitoring
Identify the reasons for performing air monitoring. What reporting is necessary? What factors should you take into account when conducting air monitoring in an outside area? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 4 Risk Assessment Plan
Home and job associated fatalities and injuries typically take place by employees and homeowners not taking the time to thoroughly read safety instructions, not following prescribed safety precautions, or inadequate training procedures within a duty location. An effective method to reduce or prevent home and workplace injuries is to actively search for hazards that are present, then identify the steps in order to eliminate or reduce these hazards to an acceptable level. Carefully analyzing and recording each step of a task will allow the detection of potential hazards and facilitate a systematic method to counter these risks. This process is described by Paul Gantt in his textbook,Hazardous Materials Regulation, Response, & Site Operations, as a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). (Gantt, 2009) This paper prepares three JHAs on tasks which may be commonly performed in a typical household. By carefully analyzing these tasks, homeowners will be able to identify where the hazard exists, who it may affect, the potential exposure to the hazard, what triggers the hazard, the consequences involved, and any contributing factors.
MGT 401 Week 5 DQ 1 Incident Response System
Why is it necessary for a business to have an Incident Response System in place? Does your place of employment have one? Explain in detail. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
MGT 401 Week 5 DQ 2 Regulations Procedures
Discuss the aftermath of a recent disaster. Describe at least three regulations or procedures and explain how they were applied/or not applied to prevent workers’ exposure to hazardous materials and other harmful conditions.
MGT 401 Week 5 Final Paper
Incident Action Plan
It is late in the afternoon; you spent the day power washing your porch for the summer. You are tired, when filling the pressure washer, you accidently spill the gas and it hits the exhaust pipe and ignites, what are you going to do? Do you have a fire extinguisher readily available? What is your plan of action at this point? Incidents like this can easily turn into disasters if not handled properly. When an abnormal circumstance such as this scenario presents itself, a pre-defined, well thought out Incident Action Plan (IAP) will mean the difference between a quickly resolving a situation, and total devastation to the home or health of a family member. This paper describes an IAP, reviews seven common mistakes made by an Incident Commanders (IC), and then presents three specific IAPs for hazards which may be experienced in the home: small engine fires, fume inhalation, and particles or foreign substances in the eyes.
