Ems Unit VI Case Study

Unit VI Case Study

This chapter focuses on the ability to influence others through communication. Whether in a crisis or not, the ability to

influence is an important part of public safety leadership and management. Consider the following scenario:

As the emergency services director for High Park County you have been asked to speak at a town forum prior to a

special election to decide on the fate of a bond referendum designed to raise funds for two new rescue stations.

Additional information regarding the referendum:

High Park County has four stations, three that are over 30 years old. One of those three stations was recently found

to have asbestos and mold that are at significantly high levels, and a second has been found to have questionable

structural stability. Only one of the stations has room for a ladder truck and each of the older stations only has

sleeping quarters enough for four staff.

Using one of the methods of influence discussed in this chapter, develop a two- to three-minute speech for the town forum

trying to persuade them to vote to support the bond initiative.

BOS 3125 Unit 3 Case Study

BOS 3125 Unit 3 Case Study

You have been hired as a consultant by your town’s emergency management coordinator to help develop emergency action plans. One of the reasons you were selected is your expertise in using the General Behavior Model (GEBMO) to assess risks. Your first task is to assess the hazardous material risks at a local gas station. The station has one 30,000-gallon underground storage tank compartmentalized to hold 10,000 gallons each of the three gasoline grades, and there is one additional 10,000-gallon tank for diesel fuel.

The station has four pumps, and each one can deliver all four products. Also on site is a 2,500 sq. ft. concrete block building used for the cashier and retail sales of service station and convenience store items. The station is located at a busy intersection near the center of town. It is adjacent to several other local businesses that do a brisk business during the day. Across the street from the station is a large housing development with an elementary school. Behind the station is a city park with playgrounds, baseball fields, and a large wooded area.

Use the GEBMO framework to assess the risks related to the fuels in the underground tanks. Consider physical, chemical, and natural hazards that may contribute to the risks.

1. Discuss how you applied each of the steps in the GEBMO process and what risks you identified.

2. Provide recommendations for preventing spills or releases.

3. Discuss response actions required in the event of a spill or release.

Discussion Board.

In today’s world of information overload and the ability to find “anything” on the World Wide Web, workers and bosses alike have a perception that industrial hygienists can sample for anything.  I (the professor) think that this misperception is fostered by television shows like CSI, NCIS, and many others.  Laypeople have come to believe that we have the technology to do anything and get instantaneous results.  In addition, they are reading all kinds of information about how TOXIC Chemicals are killing us (There is a lot of very bad information on the internet).  As a health and safety professional, we are dealing more with a chemophobic workforce.

In May of 2013, I (the professor) participated in an Ignite session at the AIHce in Montreal.  This is a “face-paced” presentation format designed to enlighten the audience “quickly.”  Each presenter had a 20 slide PowerPoint presentation that auto advances every 15-seconds.  It was very fun to do.  My presentation addressed this misperception.  Take a look at the presentation:

Extra Video relating to Unit 7 by instructor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=u4zC7Lpplh8

 

Based on my (the professor) video, assume that you are the health & safety professional at a facility and some maintenance personnel are using lubricating oil on door hinges within the facility.  Workers are complaining of headache and nausea and think it is from the oil.  You talk to the maintenance supervisor and find out that the mechanics had a 6 oz can of WD-40.  The task of oiling the hinges takes about 10 – 15 minutes; however, workers insist that they can “smell something sweet” that is making them sick and insist that you come out and do air monitoring and tell them if it is safe to be in the building.  From an IH technology standpoint, there is no technology that exist that can sample for an oil mist or vapor at the incredibly low level that might exist following the oiling of a few hinges in this workplace.

 

Discuss how you might address this situation and communicate with the employees and facility management.

Select One Of The Products Described In The Eco-Audit Case Study In Chapter 8 Of Your Textbook (E.G., Cups, Grocery Bags, Electric Kettle).

/in /by

Select one of the products described in the eco-audit case study in Chapter 8 of your textbook (e.g., cups, grocery bags, electric kettle). Using the data in the textbook from the eco-audit, additional data from Chapter 15 (as necessary), and any additional resources that you find helpful, prepare a pollution prevention audit for the product that you have selected. Base your P2 audit on the steps shown in the Unit III lesson.

You do not need to use all of the P2 audit steps shown in the Unit III lesson, but use at least three major steps from each phase (a major step being Step 5 rather than Step 5.1). Since you will not be using all of the steps shown in the unit lesson, you may re-number them if you wish so that your audit proceeds sequentially without skipping numbers. Your audit should include an introductory paragraph explaining both the purpose of a P2 audit and the reasons for including the steps that you have selected. Your case study must be at least two full pages in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references and citations used must be in APA style. The introduction should be formatted in paragraph form, and the steps can be formatted as a list.

THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF CONTAMINANTS AND POLLUTION

/in /by

Literature review

Weighting: 30%

 

You must choose a topic within one of the disciplines of environmental science (geoscience, environmental chemistry or ecology). You must restrict your review to the role of science in environmental management for that discipline. You may decide to review one specific topic or a range of topics within that discipline.

Scientific papers can be pretty daunting at first but this is the form in which original research first appears. Primary scientific references describe the rationale for the investigation, the approaches, methods and the findings. Secondary references are a step removed from the original work and include review articles. You will be writing a review article, and you must include at least 15 peer reviewed scientific papers that report the results of research in your chosen discipline. Each student should independently decide which specific topic to review.

The topic must be in the category of one of the environmental disciplines covered in this course (i.e. geoscience, environmental chemistry or ecology). You are also encouraged to look critically at scientific data. In the first lecture you will learn about the nature of science and why scientific experiments can be so difficult to carry out. The experimental design and execution inevitably has many shortcomings and if you come to appreciate the inherent difficulties you will be better equipped to spot weaknesses in published research and to undertake critical review. In the first Scientific Writing Workshop (Literature reviews) you will learn how to set out your topic and how to present your critical analysis of the literature.

Your review should be no longer than 3000 words, excluding title page, executive summary, tables, graphs and reference list. Use sub-headings to structure your review.

 

NOTEs:

l  executive summary is needed

l  using subheadings

l  no longer than 3000 words

l  at least 15 references

l  Environmental Science disciplines and example topics
