4A1: Elements of a Safety Program

Utilize the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard to identify the elements that you are required to include in your program for Wildcat Welding & Manufacturing. Incorporate the elements that you identify from the standard into an outline. Be detailed in your research – your goal is to create a document that could be used to prevent a catastrophic event.

For Example: If I were to create a Confined Space Program, I would complete an outline with the following areas identified from 29 CFR 1910.146.

4 1 DISCUSSION

Discuss which metrics you feel are the most important. Which ones do you feel will help you improve your safety program through the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle? How would you utilize three of the metrics you have read about to improve your safety program. No grammar

41B LEADING AND LAGGING INDICATORS

. In an APA formatted 3-page minimum paper (not including cover page and references), discuss the following information:

1. Analyze leading and lagging indicators, and determine which route is more effective in preventing workplace safety incidents.
   1. Define leading and lagging indicators.
   2. Provide 2 to 3 specific examples of each indicator.
   3. Explain how these specific examples of indicators will help a company prevent workplace safety incidents.
2. Evaluate how each of the indicators are effected by the three levels of organization hierarchy:
   1. Management
   2. Front-line Supervisors
   3. Workforce
3. Re-evaluate the leading indicators chosen and discuss the barriers to successfully implementing leading indicators into a safety program.

You should have at a minimum of two resources referenced. Remember to cite your work using APA formats. If you need help formatting your paper in APA style, please refer to Purdue Owl. You do not need an abstract for this paper.

Process Safety Metrics

To this point in the course, you have reviewed strategies, successes, and failures related to IT in at least 9 different firms. Synthesize this knowledge into a concise “problem statement,” which begins with the phrase “An unsolved problem in the field of IT strategic management that could be addressed by additional research is…” Follow up with 2-3 paragraphs that support the existence of the problem and its negative effects on its stakeholders

Some things to keep in mind:

• A problem is something that is going wrong and it causes negative effectson stakeholders such as researchers, professionals, or the public.
• The mere existence of some negative-sounding condition (e.g., a “lack” of something) doesn’t constitute a problem. There must be some negative effectsas a result of this condition.
• A problem is not a goal (e.g., “An unsolved problem is … better using information resources.”).
• A problem is not a question (e.g., “An unsolved problem is … how to determine what information resources are underutilized”).

Support your response and all factual assertions with appropriate scholarly or industry sources with proper citations in APA format. Remember that opinions are fine but they must be rooted in facts. Do not approach this as a journal entry filled with your stream-of-thoughts. Do thorough reading on the topic before responding and use what you’ve read as evidence to support what you post. Do not use Wikipedia or similar sites. Do not use blog posts unless they are official publications of the relevant companies or their employees (e.g., Mark Zuckerberg’s blog would be an appropriate source for information about Facebook).

Your will select a big data analytics project that is introduced to an organization of your choice … please address the following items:

1. Provide a background of the company chosen.
2. Determine the problems or opportunities that that this project will solve. What is the value of the project?
3. Describe the impact of the problem. In other words, is the organization suffering financial losses? Are there opportunities that are not exploited?
4. Provide a clear description regarding the metrics your team will use to measure performance. Please include a discussion pertaining to the key performance indicators (KPIs).
5. Recommend a big data tool that will help you solve your problem or exploit the opportunity, such as Hadoop, Cloudera, MongoDB, or Hive.
6. Evaluate the data requirements. Here are questions to consider: What type of data is needed? Where can you find the data? How can the data be collected? How can you verify the integrity of the data?
7. Discuss the gaps that you will need to bridge. Will you need help from vendors to do this work? Is it necessary to secure the services of other subject matter experts (SMEs)?
8. What type of project management approach will you use this initiative? Agile? Waterfall? Hybrid? Please provide a justification for the selected approach.
9. Provide a summary and conclusion.
10. Your written paper must have at least 10 reputable sources and 10-to-15-pages.
11. Please write the paper in APA Style.

First of all, watch the attached video to see what I worked on in the lab ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UytQ5S73up8) and ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLKCFamez0c ). In addition, the data is attached as well to show you the results that I got. by the way, I was in group 8 in Lab 2 which means you should use this results. You can get started with the analysis and lab write-up with the data. Remember that when plotting the liquid limit data, the x-axis should be plotted in log scale. Add a logarithmic trend line to your chart. You can then use the equation of the trend line to determine the liquid limit which corresponds to the moisture content for 25 blows. Display the trend line equation and R^2 value on the chart. Label the chart axes. Also, if there are some data points that you think you can defend as outliers (bad data), you can exclude those test results from the data used for the trend line. However, I want to see the outliers on the chart. This will require having two data sets on the chart. Let me know if you have any questions about plotting the data. I can easily give you some pointers in a zoom meeting online during office hours.
