Topic: Hazard in the Workplace
For the Unit 6 Discussion, address the following questions:
Describe a time when you encountered a hazard in the workplace that could have caused or did cause an injury. This could be a single incident or repetitive motion issue.
Why did the hazard exist? Was the business negligent in providing proper protection or training for their employees, or was the employee not following workplace rules, protocols, training, etc.?
Discuss the occupational organizations (governmental and/or non-governmental) that might be involved when investigating the workplace injury.
What laws, regulations, policies and/or programs are in place to prevent this type of injury

Phase 2: Preparedness
In Phase 2, and based on the primary vulnerability identified in Phase 1, you will evaluate the readiness of your workplace/community/region/state/country to respond to your disaster event. Consider transportation, communications, engineering and public services, firefighting and security capabilities, logistics and resource management, public health and medical services, search and rescue capabilities, morgue operations, and facilitating access to mental/behavioral health services for survivors and responders. See the following FEMA document for guidance on Emergency Support Functions (ESF) (PDF).

In an announcement, your instructor assigned you to either a pro or con debate team. (PRO). Given the information discussed in this course thus far, specifically in this module, review the synopsis below:
Synopsis of U.S. preparedness for a mass fatality event: The U.S. is ill-equipped to handle a radiation mass casualty event with our current approaches to mitigation, planning, and response.
Develop an argument to support your assigned pro or con position on the synopsis. Be sure to represent your position(s) with facts and not emotions. Specifically, address what should be considered with regard to mass fatality response.

I want you to propose to 3 suggested titles for a an opinion article about the following subject: I want to argue that’s Gen Z care about the ESG value and impact more than maximizing profits and financial data and that Gen Z would accept lower market adjusted returns in exchange for ESG impact. I want to focus also in the middle east, espicially Saudi Arabia and vision 2030 and how the young people 67% ? (Verify this) and provide the relevant quotes, charts, graphs and statistics for these related topics. Please make the article opinionated and I want to back up my argument with evidence about the young people and Gen Z’s value and priority for ESG impact and information and that they care more about the future and long term protection of climate issues. Please bring reference and statistics to support my argument. Use professional language and advanced words that suites the ESG realms.

The essay should use two of the conceptual approaches feminist economics and political ecology to analyse either a sustainability policy, or a social movement/ civil society proposal for sustainability or a sustainability conflict in any specific sector that interests you (such as agriculture, extractive industries, renewable energies, water governance, education, health) from any part of the world. You can use news media sources or the Environmental Justice Atlas. An effective analysis would include: – An explanation of the selected conceptual approaches and show why it is relevant for analysing the case study – In-depth research on the case study. – Who are the actors and stakeholders, and what is the regional context, relevant political, geographical and historical processes? – A clear argument supported by evidence.

Review the List of Selected Multistate Foodborne Outbreak Investigations and the Waterborne Disease & Outbreak Surveillance Reports:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (20 Sep 2018). Foodborne Outbreaks: List of Selected Multistate Foodborne Outbreak Investigations. Retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/outbreaks/multistate-outbreaks/outbreaks-list.html
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (16 Oct 2017). Waterborne Disease & Outbreak Surveillance Reports. Retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/surveillance/surveillance-reports.html
Select an outbreak from one of these lists that you would like to research further. After selecting an outbreak, write a minimum 500-word expository essay by discussing the following:
Provide a brief descriiption of the outbreak (who, what, when, where).
Describe the pathogen responsible for the outbreak, including the signs and symptoms of illness and complications that can lead to hospitalization and/or death.
Discuss the potential source (food, water, air, etc.) and exposure pathways for the pathogen (ingested, inhaled, absorbed, etc.)
What were the results of the outbreak? How many confirmed and/or suspected cases, hospitalizations and deaths occurred? How did the outbreak cease?
What disease investigation principles were used to determine the pathogen, source and exposure pathway of the outbreak?
How can similar outbreaks be prevented in the future?

Unit 1 Assignment: Rocks and Mineral Identification by Characteristics:
< &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;Proper identification of rocks and minerals is an important part of Earth Science. The goal of this assignment is to understand the major tests to identify each rock or mineral and apply what you learned to four examples. < &lt;br /&gt;A. Using Microsoft PowerPoint, create a presentation addressing the following: < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;1. Introduce rock and mineral identification as a process. Make sure to include: < &lt;br /&gt;The difference between a rock and a mineral < &lt;br /&gt;Importance of proper identification < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;2. Using the list of identification tests for rocks and minerals, create a slide for each test with the following items: < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;3. How the test is performed (include equipment, images of equipment) < &lt;br /&gt;Examples of potential test outcomes (pictures encouraged) < &lt;br /&gt;Describe what each outcome means in terms of the rock and or mineral (e.g. does it indicate the presence of a specific type of chemical?) < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;3. After this series of slides, create a table with all the tests you presented and input the results for the following examples: Diamond, Dolomite, Gneiss, and Chalk. After your table, summarize the key characteristics of each sample that help in identification. < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;NOTE: Assignments will also be assessed on how well the presentation is made and accessible for the viewer to understand. This includes: < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;Clarity of information presented < &lt;br /&gt;APA formatting of citations (both on slides and at the end) (all images used must have a citation on the slide with the image) < &lt;br /&gt;Visual layout of information that engages the viewer < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;Mineral Tests: < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;Luster < &lt;br /&gt;Color < &lt;br /&gt;Streak < &lt;br /&gt;Light Transmission < &lt;br /&gt;Crystal Shape/Habit < &lt;br /&gt;Hardness < &lt;br /&gt;Cleavage < &lt;br /&gt;Fracture < &lt;br /&gt;Tenacity < &lt;br /&gt;Density < &lt;br /&gt;Rock Tests < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;Texture/Grain < &lt;br /&gt;HCl Reactivity < &lt;br /&gt;Mineral Composition < &lt;br /&gt;Appearance < &lt;br /&gt;Hardness < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/id/mineral_id_keyi1.htm < &lt;br /&gt; < &lt;br /&gt;https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/pavement/pccp/fhwahi91205.pdf
