MGT 401 Week 3 Respiratory Protection Selection

Back 11

Respiratory Protection Selection. Respiratory protection devices are available in two basic design types: Air-Purifying Respirators (APR) and Supplied-Air Respirators (SAR). As a trained hazardous materials specialist, your employer asks you to evaluate each of the following four possible workplace conditions:
Fiberglass components are being sanded smooth prior to painting by assembly line workers.
A leak in a nitrogen supply line within a service closet requires repair but the supply of nitrogen cannot be
interrupted.
Hydrochloric acid vapor is escaping from a cylinder stored in an outdoor area. Oxygen levels are
measured and found to be above 19.5%.
A full 55-gallon drum of an organic solvent commonly used in the production process is releasing vapor.
For each of the above four conditions:
Select the preferred type of respiratory protection device.
Identify which standardized OSHA filter color the device should be fitted with (if not applicable, so state).
Explain your rationale for

MGT 401 Week 4 Risk Assessment Plan

Back 15

Risk Assessment Plan. We all face potential hazards in our workplaces and in our homes. Ideally we can eliminate or control many of these; however, if and when they occur, a Risk Assessment Plan is our best defense. To understand the preparation and use of such a plan, consider your past or present workplace or your home.
Identify at least three possible risks that exist in your workplace or home.
For each of the three or more risks:
Describe the task being performed when the risk might occur (washing dishes, moving a desk, etc.).
Locate where the risk may occur (office, garage, etc.).
Describe the hazard type (shock, fall, etc.).
Summarize the consequences of the risk (death, fire, etc.).
Prepare a description of how to control the hazard once it occurs (dilute, neutralize, etc.). Choose what personal safety equipment, tools, or other items that should be readily available in advance of the hazard occurring.
Writing the Paper
Must be three to four double-spaced pages in length (not in

MGT 401 Week 5 Final Paper

Back 18

Focus of the Final Paper
Scenario:
Develop As the newly appointed safety manager at a large plastics manufacturing company, you are called to the loading dock to find that a large truck, full of cartons of pellets used in the manufacturing process, is engulfed in flames. The truck slid on ice in the parking area and crashed into empty trailers. A call to the city emergency services indicated that they will be delayed indefinitely due to roads made impassible by the ice storm. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the pellets indicates that burning releases toxic smoke. Note that larger companies are likely to have their own emergency response teams equipped and trained to handle the most likely hazards found at the site.
Assignment:
Prepare an Incident Action Plan that includes all of the requirements shown below. Respond to each bullet point based on what you know of the situation. Clearly state any assumptions you make in your plan. The list is a subset of the United States Depar
