To complete the assignment please use the content of the lectures and course notes( uploaded with other material), the references given plus any other research you deem appropriate. Please justify your statements; justification is as important as being correct.

Follow the instructions exactly in the attached document.
Answer the questions correctly and consicely
Please refer to the rubric at the end of the document to evaluate your work perfectly

Your boss wants more information on one of the accidents listed on the CSU Widget Factory OSHA 300 log. He has sent
you the OSHA Form 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report, for the accident involving William Smith. Mr. Smith’s supervisor
filled out the form, but it only includes basic information. To prepare to conduct a more thorough investigation, do the
following:
Develop a list of five questions to ask Mr. Smith’s supervisor about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Explain the importance of each question you create.
Select two theories of accident causation, and explain how you would use them to help in the accident investigation.

The homework questions are attached and the class slides i will attach. Please solve the questions based on the slides and be very detailed.

As the new Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) manager for the CSU Widget Factory, you recently completed a study of
the injuries entered on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300 form over the past 12 months. Your
findings revealed the following:
Eight employees were treated for various levels of heat strain during the summer months. Six were working indoors in
the warehouse, and two were working outdoors doing grounds maintenance. All were first aid injuries.
There were six forklift accidents that resulted in injuries:
Three dropped loads struck nearby workers. All received first aid.
One forklift flipped over going around a corner, ejecting the operator. The operator lost 10 days of work and was on
restricted duty for 30 days.
Two employees working in the warehouse aisles were struck by forklifts. Both were medical treatment injuries.
Five electrical shocks were reported in the machine shop. All occurred during routine equipment maintenance. All were
medical treatment injuries, but none resulted in days away from work.
There were nine eye injuries in the machine shop. Five were foreign particles in the eye, and four were machine oil
splashes. All were reported as first aid injuries.
Six employees in the plating shop were treated for inhalation of solvent vapors. Two resulted in lost workdays, and the
others were medical treatment injuries.
To reduce workplace injuries, select two program areas from the analysis above that should receive immediate attention.
Select two OSH programs from the following: Heat Stress, Powered Industrial Vehicles, Material Handling and Storage,
Hazardous Energy Control (Lockout / Tagout), Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), Respiratory Protection Program.
Complete the following:
1. Discuss why the specific OSH program area was selected.
2. Explain how you would identify and assess the hazards related to this program area.
3. Discuss some possible hazard control measures that could be used to reduce risk.
4. Identify training requirements for the program area.
5. Propose methods for ensuring employees comply with safety procedures.
Length: Your submission must be in APA Style and at least four pages in length, not counting title and reference pages.
References: At least two reference sources must be used to support your discussion. References should be articles from professional journals, recognized safety organizations, or
other OSH textbooks.

You are to conduct a hazard analysis as directed. Upper management has asked you to investigate these operations and tasks that they feel have a significant potential for injury in the manufacturing plant:
1. Operating electric forklifts in narrow aisles
2. Repairing the hydraulic system on the gas-powered forklift
3. Operating the large sheet metal shear
Details: For each of the three tasks above list 1-3, do the following:
Identify a minimum of two (or three) hazards of the operation and the injuries that could result from exposure to them.
Determine the control measures that would eliminate the identified hazards or reduce the risk (severity and/or probability)
of injury. Be sure to consider all levels in the hierarchy of controls.
Analyze the effectiveness of each control measure by assessing the risks before and after the control is implemented.
Provide your recommendations for which control measures should be implemented and why you chose them.
Discuss historical aspects of occupational safety and health (OSH), and relate them to this situation.
must be a minimum of three pages, not including title and reference pages. three references are required, at least one i have provided to be used other up to you in the files.

Use the instructions and attached documents to complete a risk management plan document.There is a total of 5 different assignments I had to submit to get to this final step. I have purchased part 4 on studypool and I am waiting for a response from the tutor so I can implement that assignment into Part 5.
1. Part 1 Project Submission
2. Part 2 Project Submission
3. Part 3 Project Submission
4. Part 4 Project Instructions/Overview.
Project Part 5: Final Risk Management PlanCompile all project parts into a single risk management plan document. Reduce redundant text, if any. Incorporate instructor feedback on the previous submissions in the final risk management plan.
Submission RequirementsFormat: Microsoft Word (or compatible)
Font: Arial, size 12, double-space
Citation style: Your school’s preferred style guide
Estimated length: 14–20 pages
Self-Assessment Checklist§ I considered the inputs provided in earlier submissions.
§ I developed a sound plan based on the requirements described during previous project phases.
§ I provided clear and easy-to-understand documentation, which may include tables and other presentation elements.
§ I created a professional, well-developed final report with proper documentation, grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
§ I included citations for all sources used in the report.
§ I followed the submission guidelines.
Requirements: 15 Pages (14 content, 1 work cited)

*(Please follow all the following notes and modify them in the research proposal in a professional manner)
Here are few observations on your proposal;

I would review research question 2 for clarity and to ensure it is not biased
Might you also want to look for what works well- as well as what is not working, which is the current focus?
The methods need another look- as in some places a questionnaire is mentioned, whereas in others there is a clear focus on qualitative research only
The data analysis section can be separated out from the practicalities and some references added to support. If a questionnaire and document analysis are also being considered, these also need to be addressed here.
It would be helpful to add a short section on practicalities and ethics – such as how you would access the hospitals, the permissions needed, how you inform and protect participants etc
The timeline can be reviewed- as a PhD usually takes 3-4 years
I recommend a thorough proofread before submitting
