Share another strategy for sustainable design we have not touched on. In your responses to colleagues, give a specific example of how one of the design strategies posted by a classmate is supported by, or supports, ecological economics and/or systems thinking.

Here we go!

Looking back to Module 3 we  reviewed the environmental regulations which surround the designing and production of products.  In modules 2 and 3 we addressed the importance of leadership initiative as well as compliance with environmental regulations.

 

We are now moving into Module 4!  Module 4 launches our review of green production. This module will explore specific green design and manufacturing frameworks.  Our three objectives this week include: •Discuss key sustainability design frameworks •Evaluate the changing nature of green products •Identify potential opportunities and liabilities in “greening” a company’s products

 

Assignment! This week you will review The article “Green Product Design”.  The article was written eight years ago, and while its key concepts are still correct, are all of its conclusions? Research one of its conclusions and share how it may have changed in the intervening years. Write a short analysis paper that summarizes your findings. (Check out the short paper rubric- aim for 2-3 pages of content in your words).

Team Project- Make sure to review the frameworks provided and work with your team to select an appropriate framework and suggest how your company can integrate the framework into their business. If the company has already integrated the framework, describe how they have done so and the results. Integrate the results of your work into Memo 2 of the project.

BOS 3525 Unit II Assignment

Unit II Assignment

You receive a follow-up call from the area director saying the employee filing the original non-formal complaint has provided additional information about the alleged health situation and submitted a formal complaint using the OSHA-7 form, making the complaint a formal complaint. A few days later, an OSHA compliance officer shows up at your facility to perform a comprehensive inspection. The compliance officer presents the proper credentials, and you verify that the compliance officer is employed by OSHA and assigned to the local office.

During the opening conference, the compliance officer provides you with the formal complaint, alleging that employees are exposed to hazardous concentrations of metal fumes in welding areas of the plant, that you have not performed any air sampling to determine exposure levels, that adequate ventilation is not present in welding areas, and that adequate respiratory protection has not been provided to welders. As a part of the inspection, the compliance officer requests the following documents:

 

 Chemical inventory list;

 

 OSHA 300 logs;

 

 Hazard Communication Program, including training records;

 

 any sampling data that you have;

 

 Respiratory Protection Program, including medical clearance letters and training records;

 

 written hazard assessment for personal protective equipment (PPE) used at the facility;

 

 Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for the metals you use in the production process and any welding rods/wire used in the welding area; and

 

 any other written programs you have that are required by an OSHA regulation.

 

The compliance officer takes a walk-through tour of the facility, spending extra time in the welding areas. During the walk-through, the compliance officer points out several issues believed to be apparent violations. The issues are as follows:

 

 Heavy haze is present in the welding area.

 

 Individuals wearing half-mask air-purifying respirators have full beards.

 

 Employees are using chemicals that could be injurious to the eyes, and no emergency eyewash is present.

 

 Eyewash is present in another area of the plant that is covered in dust, and there is no indication of recent operation or inspection.

 

 Employees are using chemicals that could be absorbed through the skin and are not using any gloves.

 

 Employees are performing maintenance inside a press with no lock-out/tag-out applied.

 

 No written lock-out/tag-out program is available at the time of the inspection.

 

 Welding operation is performed near flammable materials, and no fire watch present.

 

 There is no record of training for fork truck drivers.

 

 Extension cords are stretched across walkways.

 

 Three containers are present in the plant with no label present on any of the containers.

 

 An employee could not find a SDS for the chemical he or she was using.

 

The compliance officer asks for a private conference room and a list of non-managerial employees. He tells you that he intends to interview four non-managerial employees before leaving for the day. He also states that he will return the next day to collect some air samples at the facility.

You are worried about the number of citations and penalties that you may face. Provide a document summarizing the steps you would take as soon as the compliance officer leaves, and the steps you believe you could have taken during the walk-through that may have resulted in a quick-fix penalty reduction.

Your document must be at least three pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages. You must also include at least one reference using appropriate APA style.

1. Please solve the following problem, indicating your response on a Word document and submitting the document via File Upload.

Using the following formula, solve the problem below, and show your work.

TWA = CaTa + CbTb + … + CnTn                                 8

TWA = Time-Weighted Average
Ca = Concentration of contaminant during the sampling period “a“
Ta = Time of sampling period “a“
Cb = Concentration of contaminant during the sampling period “b”
Tb = Time of sampling period “b“
Cn = Concentration of contaminant during the sampling period “n“, where “n” is the last of a series of contaminants
Tn = Time of sampling period “n“

 

Note: All concentrations are in parts contaminant per million parts of air or milligrams of contaminant per cubic meter of air. Air Sampling Problem: You are an industrial hygienist that is conducting personal sampling on a worker who is overseeing a production process involving use of toluene (Note: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established a Permissible Exposure Limit of 200 parts per million (ppm)). You are able to measure the following exposures:

500 ppm for 1 hour 100 ppm for 4 hours 225 ppm for 3 hours What is the calculated TWA? What would you tell plant management in terms of exposure to toluene and compliance with the PEL?

Interactions Of Hazardous Materials

/in /by

Question

The element titanium occurs on earth as titanium (IV) oxide and is found mostly in the mineral called rutile. Rutile is abundant in beach sands in Australia and South Africa. For titanium to be useful, rutile has to be processed to obtain the basic metal form of titanium. Although the process is costly, titanium is gaining popularity as a material for various equipment due to its strength and light weight. One such application is in sports equipment.

1. Explain the chemical process of manufacturing the metal form of titanium.

2. Explain why titanium is a good choice of material for golf clubs. When not in use, discuss at least one precaution to observe when storing clubs?

3. During the fabrication of golf clubs, finely divided titanium is generated, which poses a dangerous risk of fire and explosion. Explain the chemical process involved.

Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

Question

A truck transporting concentrated acetic acid was involved in a non-injury accident resulting in the release of 300 gallons of acid. Part of the mitigation is to neutralize the spilled acid with a solid material such as air-slaked lime. Air-slaked lime is a commercially available product that consists of calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Quicklime is the common name for calcium hydroxide. When quicklime is exposed to moist air, it absorbs atmospheric CO2 and forms calcium carbonate.

1. Show the chemical formula of air-slaked lime. Explain the chemical interaction involved with the use of air-slaked lime to neutralize the acid. Is this an effective neutralization method for this release?

2. Explain why OSHA requires employers to limit employee exposure to acetic acid vapors.

 

Your response must be at least 200 words in length.
