Assignment: OSHA PPT and Journals
1) Create a PowerPoint presentation of 15 slides (not counting title and reference slides) that provides an overview of the three major environmental, health, and safety (EHS) disciplines. Include each of the following elements:
o summary of the responsibilities for the discipline,
o evaluation of types of hazards addressed by the discipline,
o description of how industrial hygiene practices relate to safety and health programs,
o description of how industrial hygiene practices relate to environmental programs,
o evaluation of types of control methods commonly used by the discipline,
o nteractions with the other two disciplines, and
o major organizations associated with the discipline.
Construct your presentation using a serif type font such as Times New Roman. A serif type font is easier to read than a non-serif type font.
2) The placement of the industrial hygiene and safety functions in an organization's structure can greatly impact how successful the programs will be. Some organizations place health and safety programs under the human resources department. Other organizations place these programs under the plant manager or the production manager. If you were a safety officer for an organization, where would you place health and safety programs in the organizational structure? Explain why you believe this placement would work best for your organization.
3) You have been asked to perform a job hazard analysis (JHA) at your place of employment. Which method would you use to perform the JHA? Explain your choice.
