Develop a hazard identification and control process

Assessment-

Part A-

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) simply means looking at the work task and considering what is the safest way to complete it. It is a way of becoming aware of the hazards involved in doing the job and taking action to prevent an injury.

The JSA process is suitable for different trades do different tasks, and need not require enormous amounts of time or use endless pieces of paper

Using the Job Safety Analysis developed by VWA, you are to undertake a detailed hazard and risk assessment of a designated area or process within a building and construction workplace or college (where appropriate).

Be sure to:

• Document the activity: Assemble those involved in the activity and then, using the JSA worksheet, write down the tasks that make up the activity, step by step.
• Identify the hazards: Next to each task, identify what part of the task may cause injury to those doing the work or to anyone else nearby. Don’t forget to consider the work environment in terms of structure and for potential hazards
• Document the control measures: For each identified hazard, list the measures that need to be put in place to eliminate or minimise any likely risk of injury to those involved. Your measures should include a range of options. Don’t forget to prioritise your control list for implementation and consider any risk reduction as a result of the controls suggested
• Identify any potential factors that could impact the control: Provide a variety of controls, prioritised in order of least risk
• Identify who is responsible: Document the name of the person responsible for implementing the control measure.
• Implement the control measures where practicable.

You must communicate with appropriate personnel whilst undertaking this task, including gaining input on suitable control measures for each risk identified

Remember-

• The JSA provides a written record of the process to be used to proceed on a task. As it is a record that can be used in court, it should be signed off by the parties who have responsibility for the tasks.
• The JSA is only a written record. Management processes must be in place to ensure workers have the skills to complete the job and that there is a required level of supervision to ensure the tasks are completed as documented.
• The JSA should be completed by all employees involved in the activity, not just the principal contractor or supervisor.

Part B-

You are to develop a hazard identification and control process that includes (as a minimum)

• policies in relation to hazard identification and control
• procedures for staff to follow in terms of hazard identification and controls
• a risk register specific to OHS risks within a building and construction site
• a detailed continuous improvement / ongoing risk management process including action plans for risks identified

Once developed, you are to input the hazards and risks identified in Part A into your risk register, along with details on the Risk rating, consequence, control and priority.

Compare and contrast the typical research methodologies

In RA 2, you will finalize the research question on a human services topic that you selected earlier in the course and conduct a literature review to better understand the problem being presented through the research question.

In this assignment, you will get an opportunity to practice many different concepts and skills that you have covered throughout this course.

Tasks:

Using what you have learned about research questions, along with the feedback you received in M4 Assignment 2, present your finalized research question on a topic in the field of human services. Your question should clearly depict the variables being examined and the relationship between these variables.

Gather, analyze, and critique scholarly literature and develop a literature review to address your research question. Use the list of resources that you finalized in M4 Assignment 2, in addition to any other articles that you found since Module 4. (see attached, youj ust completed M4 A2 assignment this week)

Your literature review must be based on:

Credible research sources

A minimum of one quantitative and one qualitative research study

One or two seminal or foundational sources

At least five peer-reviewed journals and two websites

Current sources from within the past five years (with the exception of the seminal or foundational source mentioned above)

In addition, your literature review must:

Synthesize the research and provide a summary of how the selected literature helps support the research question.

Discuss common themes found in the literature related to the topic.

Compare and contrast the typical research methodologies found in the literature you reviewed-qualitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods.

Submission Details:

Compile your research question and literature review in an 8- to 10-page Microsoft Word document. Include a title page and a reference page and apply APA standards to citation of sources, including use of in-text citations and full references.

Compare aspects of the Bayeux Tapestry to aspects of a war film depicting a real-life military battle. How do both the Bayeux Tapestry and the film influence the viewer to be more sympathetic to one side over another?

Analyze barriers to implementation of public health campaign

Implementation:

Effective implementation of a public health campaign includes strategic marketing methods, appropriate timing, and monitoring (Resnick & Siegel, 2013). Review your communication plan and consider ways you plan to implement your campaign and how the timing is critical to its success.

It is not uncommon to experience some barriers in the implementation of a public health campaign. For example, funding sources might be delayed, stakeholders in communities may decide to withdraw their participation, or technology may temporarily collapse. Consider possible barriers or challenges you might face in the implementation of your public health campaign and how you might address those barriers.

With these thoughts in mind:

A brief explanation of how you might implement your public health campaign. Then explain two potential barriers which might impact the implementation process and one way you might address one barrier. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.

· Apply methods to implement a public health campaign

· Analyze barriers to the implementation of a public health campaign

· Analyze the implementation and evaluation process of a communication plan

· Identify criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of a public health campaign

How did the growth of big business impact the american dream

Unit II Reflection Paper

Being new to a place is challenging. The list below includes some provocative discussions related to the events in this unit’s reading and related to being new to the United States.

For this assignment, you will write two reflections on Parts 1 and 2 below. The total length of your journal assignment must be a minimum of three pages in length, with each journal entry being at least one page.

(For example, this means that you could have one reflection be one page and the other be two pages, each could be one and a half pages, or some other means by which each is at least one page in length and your total overall pages total three.)

The reflections will need to reflect your understanding of the time period and need to avoid being anachronistic. (Remember that this term loosely means to apply today’s values or perspectives on the past.)

To accomplish this, you will need to write both reflections as if you are a first generation immigrant (in the first person). Your first reflection entry needs to be from the viewpoint of an immigrant from Europe (e.g., Ireland, Italy, Germany, England, or France). Your second reflection entry needs to come from the standpoint of an immigrant from Asia (e.g., China or Japan).

You will need to develop an argument within both reflections entries based on the bulleted items below. In your own words, justify academically the side of the argument you choose, remembering to cite your sources along the way.

Part 1

Are you treated as an equal by earlier generations residing here?

o What are others’ attitudes toward you?

o Why do you think they act this way?

Would you feel pressured to pledge your loyalty to a political machine?

Would you agree to engage in a strike?

Talk about some leisure opportunities and how they are divided by race or class or are for everyone.

Part 2

What is the “American dream?”

How did the growth of big business impact the American dream?

Explain which leisure opportunities could be part of the American dream.

What part did the anti-immigration sentiment play in the American dream?

As this is a point of view essay, a modern perspective will not accurately address what the question is asking for. It is strongly suggested that you use at least one selection from the America: History and Life with Full Text database within the Online Library. All sources used, including textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

Recruiting and Selecting Human Resources

• • The supply of workers in various labor markets differs substantially and affects staffing. The textbook identifies 3 types of labor markets. As you consider your current organization (or one of your choosing if you are unemployed), which market might be idea from which to recruit candidates for positions? Explain.
• 3 Types of Labor Markets Industr-Specific and Occupational, Educational and technical, and Geographic

• • As you consider hiring military veterans, what attributes might they have that would lead to success in business? Be specific.

Organizational Culture and Ethical Decision Making

• Examine the major influences that organizational culture can have on organizational ethical decision making. From your personal experience in your current or past organization, provide one (1) example of how organizational culture influenced the outcome of an ethical decision. Note: Please do not identify workplaces or leaders by name.
• Use the Internet to research a business leader that you believe to be an ethical leader. Next, examine the key traits and actions that the selected leader demonstrates in order to influence a positive ethical culture in the organization. Suggest two (2) actions that a company could take in order to achieve a positive ethical culture.
