This is an important regulation because there are various substances that can be hazardous to the employee’s health whilst working for example, fumes and gasses from cutting and welding things together, dust from the blasting, various different paints and stripping fluids. There are a large amount of risks whilst performing fabrication and welding. Around 2011/2012 and 2014/2015 there were around 17,000 cases of illness from skin or respiratory conditions.…
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created by Congress under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to ensure workers were provided with safe and healthy working conditions. Congress found that personal injuries and illnesses were more frequent in work related situations, which caused a loss in production, a decrease in wages, elevated medical expenses, and substantial disability compensation payments. In order to prevent personal injuries or illnesses in the work place, standards were established under the Act, which were taught to employers and employees through trainings and outreach. These standards provided workplace health and safety regulations to limit/prevent an employee’s exposure to possible hazardous situations/environments. In particular, Part 1910 covers Occupational Safety and Health Standards, which can range from hand protection to requirements for fixed ladders.…

During the period from 1970 to the end of the 1980s, there was a major structural factor change in the industry and that is farms have become less numerous but larger and with increased concentration of profit. As Dutton and Cornish (1988) note, “between 1950 and 1981, the number of farm units decreased from 26,406 to 20,012 units... Yet land in agricultural production has actually increased by 17 percent over the same period” (p. 165). This same trend was evident looking at cash sales where, again according to Dutton and Cornish (1988), only 19.7 percent of B.C. Farms- fewer than 4,000- accounted for 87 per cent of all cash sales” (p. 165).…

As Professor Annette Gordon Reed contends in his paper regarding the HLS shield, “…this is a moment for daring and creativity... [and] this would be the perfect time to… tie the past to the present and to the future.” Upon visiting the slavery memorial at HLS, I noticed that the way the administration decided to “tie the past to the future” was to celebrate the hard work and materialized contribution slavery made to the “…founding of Harvard Law School”. Nevertheless, I think that there could be a better way to “tie the past to the future.”…

Promote and Implement health and safety in health and social care (HSC 037) Outcome 1 Understand own responsibilities, and the responsibilities of others, relating to health and safety 1.1 When talking about own responsibility and that of others relating to health and safety in social care, there are few legal acts relating to the health and safety in social care in general in regards to this which must be put into consideration. The most vital one as it seems with this topic is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA) which ensures that the employer and the employee have responsibilities to ensure that a good level of safety is reached in the workplace and thus, there should be a copy of this act on the works premises for use of any employee or service user. Therefore, the legislation aims are to ensure the healthy safety and welfare of people at work, to protect others from risks arising from the activities of people at work, to control the use and storage of dangerous substances and finally to control the emission into the atmosphere of offensive substances (Gabriella Briella, 2017). Other legislation relating to general health and safety in social care work settings according to (OCR, 2013) are as follows:…
It is the employer’s responsibility to protect the health, safety and well-being of all their employees along with any other people who may be involved within their business. They must do whatever they can to ensure that all their employees are safe at work. This includes making sure everyone who works for the business is provided with the sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) that will protect them from any harm caused whilst they are at work. By doing this employers minimise and regulate the risk of injury which could take place at the workplace. Along with providing employees with PPE the employers must teach and train the employee on how to avoid the risks as well as providing information on what risks there are in the workplace…

Understanding what a provider knows and their methods of communication towards their patient populations is detrimental to the further growth of the organization. Also, It is imperative to sufficiently…
