OSH 2301 Workplace Safety Critical for Wellness Essay Assignment
I’m working on a environmental science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Instructions
Think of a hazardous job you perform either at home or at work. Pinpoint one hazard to which you are exposed while doing the job. Work through the levels of the hierarchy of controls, briefly explaining why each level could, or could not, be applied to the hazard you identified. For the levels that can be applied, recommend a control that fits that type, and briefly explain how it reduces the risk to you when performing the job.
Instructions
Think about a time at work or at home when you made an error, as well as another time when you committed an unsafe act. Briefly describe both incidents, including the reasons why each occurred. What happened in each of your examples? Did any injury or illness result from either of them? How could you apply elements of a safety management system to reduce the risk of that error and unsafe act recurring?
Our Ecology Connections Globally and Locally Biome Essay
Purpose: for students to apply their unit Ecology content to real-world examples and discuss some local ecosystems in crisis.
Directions: this week’s discussion consists of one written essay with essentially two parts… one is a biome fact sheet and the other about a local organism/ecosystem in crisis
[1] Teach your peers about a non-local biome (~ 1 page with APA citations)
>> you will first visit the following website and read up on World Biomes: https://blueplanetbiomes.org/index.php
>> next, choose a biome (that is NOT indicative of your local ecosystems in the Cayman Islands) and write a 2-3 paragraph educational summary about it (define it, describe its characteristics, give its geographic range, and provide examples)
>> finally, research a current issue that your biome is facing today and write a 1-2 paragraph summary outlining it. If you need ideas, check out: https://environmentalsciencebiomes.weebly.com/threats-to-biomes.html[2] Discuss a local organism in the Cayman Islands that is being threatened and their role in a local ecosystem (~ ½-1 page reflection)
>> choose a local organism that is either threatened or endangered (ex. sea turtles, coral, iguana, etc.) and research it’s role in the ecosystem and what is causing the major issue(s).
>> educate your peers on the details; make sure you point out what ecological role and significance your organism possesses; how does it interact with other organisms; then describe the causes of the issues and predict what could happen if it vanishes.
