    These would be found in 1910.217.
    There are no specific standards for these situations. OSHA uses the general duty clause to deal with this issue.

Discuss some of the circumstances where mechanical ventilation is required in the welding standards. Do you believe this requirement is reasonable? Why, or why not?

Your response must be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

 

 

 

Discuss some of the problems that might be encountered when implementing OSHA’s machine guarding standards in the workplace. Do you feel that the standards are adequate to control machine guarding hazards in general industry? Why, or why not?

Your response must be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

 

 

A vertical standard is one that applies to a specific industry such as construction (29 CFR 1926). Do you think OSHA should have more vertical or industry-specific standards, or should there just be one set of horizontal standards that apply to all industries? Why do you think OSHA promulgated vertical standards in the first place, and to what extent do you think politics played a part in this process? This answer should also have at least 150 words.

Water Privatization [WLO: 1] [CLOs: 3, 4, 6] Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read Chapter 5: Water, in Turk and Bensel’s Contemporary Environmental Issues textbook (2014). In this week’s class discussion, you will participate in a debate over the issue of water privatization. This issue regards whether or not private corporations should be allowed to own and control fresh drinking water supplies. Should safe drinking water be considered a basic human right (owned by everyone), or a commodity (to be managed by corporations)? There are a number of pro and con arguments on both sides. For an overview of this issue, please watch Liquid Assets: The Big Business of Water (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., starting with Segment 13, “Chile’s Commercialized View of Water,” and watch the remaining 15 minutes on this topic. For full access to this video please use Films on Demand through the Ashford Library. For our debate, there will need to be two sides: pro (supporting water privatization) and con (opposed to water privatization). Your side is determined by the following: If your last name begins with the letter A through K, you will be arguing the pro side. If your last name begins with the letter L through Z, you will be arguing the con side. In a well-crafted discussion post of at least 200 words, first clearly identify your assigned side in the debate. Then provide at least three clearly worded, concise arguments for your side of the debate. Providing specific examples to support your arguments will aid in making them stronger. You should cite and reference at least two credible or scholarly sources in your post, using correct APA format. Note: You will not be able to view others’ posts until you have made your own. At the end of your post, cast your vote for your decision as to whether or not water should be privatized. Cast Your Vote: Using what you have learned from the water privatization debate, take the following steps to cast a vote on your stance on the topic of water privatization. Submit your vote as “Pro” or “Con” in a post selecting the option that best represents your stance on water privatization. Pro (supporting water privatization) and Con (opposed to water privatization). Required Resources Text Bensel, T., & Turk, J. (2014). Contemporary environmental issues (2nd ed.).

Industrial And Hazardous Waste Management

/in /by

In reading the assigned article for this unit, what are your thoughts about the Colbert brothers’ business? Are you surprised they could operate such a business? Do you believe there are any similar businesses operating like that today? Do you think international laws should be more uniform? Why, or why not?

Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”
ALSO PLEASE REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS COMMENT BELOW

Alexander:

I found the reading assignment very interesting. They were able to justify their actions by arguing that they were providing two benefits. The first benefit being that they were taking unwanted and soon to be banned chemicals and “disposing” of them for US manufacturers. The other claimed benefit was that they were providing low priced permitted chemicals to developing countries without consuming additional resources.

In terms of life cycle analysis and Pollution Prevention (P2), this business model could be construed to be seen as positive if you are able to ignore the deadly effects of the chemicals that they were dealing in. The brothers were taking chemicals and “reusing” them. Reuse is the second level of the the hierarchy of P2. They also diluted the chemicals they distributed and had no quality control. This allowed for contaminated and mixtures of unknown chemicals to be sold. This sort of business highlights the need for uniform international chemical and waste disposal regulations. Health and environmental risk do not recognize national borders. Chemical and waste disposal regulations should not either.

I know for a fact that these type of businesses still exist. Ship breaking is the common name for the disposal process of large and medium sized commercial vessels. This work is known to be environmentally damaing as well as very dangerous to workers. Historically, ships that reached the end of their useful life were “run up on the beach” in India, Bangladesh or Pakistan. There, they were cut up by hand and the materials “recycled”. There was no cleaning or preparation and fuel, oil and chemicals were allowed to drain onto the beach and into the waters. Under intense international pressure, ship operating companies must still dispose of old ships. They currently have two choices. They can can have them recycled in locations such as China that have some environmental controls in place but it may actually cost the company to dispose of the vessel. Alternatively, they can sell the vessel to another operation company whose sole purpose is to deliver it the unregulated ship breaking locations in Southeast Asia. These companies are no better than Colbert Brothers. In 2010, I had the opportunity to take a 755 foot cargo ship to the breaking yards in China. The company who owned it was a large international company who recognized the value of responsible disposal.

  • Given that the current 2 primary sources of electricity generation are coal and nuclear power plants, which of these sources is better for human sustainability?

Analyze Energy Sources Lab

Everything people do in their daily lives involves the consumption of resources—particularly energy. With respect to energy, electricity is one of the most important resources consumed and also one of the highest in demand. Traditionally, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil have dominated the U.S. energy mix; however, as it is well-known, carbon-emitting energy sources are very detrimental to the environment and are contributing to global warming. Fortunately, alternative energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are becoming more efficient and prevalent in today’s energy economy.
