1. Review the case study information provided and determine all legislative and regulatory documents that describe compliance requirements for this company.
After reading the case study for the Tiny Opera Company I have determined through my own research that the following legislative and regulatory requirements will need to be adhered to so that they are compliant.
To start off the Tiny Opera Company will need to have their own Code of Conduct available to all employees and anyone attending the venue. This code of conduct will outline through Key principles what the

As the Tiny Opera Company is an entertainment venue they will also need to be compliant with the NSW Work Health and Safety Laws with regards to Noise, this is so that all people attending, or that are involved in the production of a show are not exposed to noise levels that could damage their hearing. The current law states that workers must not be exposed to over 85 decibels over an 8 hour period or peaks of 140 decibels at one go.
Other Health and Safety requirements are as follows:
Electrical Safety.
All electrical installations must be certified according to Australian Standard for Wiring Rules - AS/NZS 3000 and the Australian Standard for Electrical installations 1 Shows and Carnivals 2 AS/NZS 3002 (for outdoor events).
Hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods.
Hazardous chemicals include flammable liquids, acids, gases and solvents. This should all be included in the Production Risk Assessment for each performance and should state each substance that is to be used. The substances should be used in accordance with requirements set out in the Safety Data Sheet included in the risk assessments. Also under NSW Safety laws any person manufacturing or designing structure must make sure that it is done so in a way that the need for any manual task is reduced so that it is
When using they system OSHA requires a material safety data sheet on the chemical vapor solution. The reason behind this is because of the chemicals' toxicity.
There are a plethora of compliance and regulatory requirements in this area but I want to focus on the finance and insurance office and how I can communicate to my colleagues and customers what these requirements are. Why must be met and taken seriously, and how we are going to do it?
1. The main legal requirements that need to be considered, including Codes of Practice, explain the impact that these have on the organisation.
Currently the process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals is a broad standard that covers many industries possessing chemicals above a threshold quantity. The standard does not distinguish between different industries or different chemicals. It may be advisable to adapt the standard to differentiate between industries and chemicals. This would make the standard more specific and could focus on industry specific hazard prevention, best management practices, recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices, and emergency
Now that all of the work is done with the merger of UWEAR and PALEDENIM Tom Tramlin the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has one more thing he would like for me to do. He asked me if I could give him a provision of a good framework for their new code of conduct for the company in order build a new stronger company. Although, I had some ideas on what should be placed in the code of conduct he stated that he would like for the outline of it to cover the three policies that had been developed by me earlier when I was working with the company. However, he would also like for me to add the implementation of standards policies to the code of conduct as it is pertinent to the company’s success. Therefore, I will cover the issues that deal with
By stating that a designer does not have a mandatory legal requirement to have the knowledge, the Work, Health and Safety Act that “requires the designer to ensure, ‘so far as reasonably practicable’ – so what is known to the designer at the time, that a structure is designed to be without risks to the health and safety of persons who are constructing the structure” becomes blurred and quite frankly an inaccurate measure as a legal matter, and pushes it into the realm of ethics- questioning a designers own level of care and ethical character.
The legitimacy issues concerned Orica are contamination of sites, assessment and management of risks and recording any protective or remediation measures in product stewardship.
Many of the world’s largest companies own land and have ties with endless communities, so corporations are the forefront of social and economic change that will determine if our society can become sustainable. Since multinational business run the world, sustainability within business is a way to initiate major change in terms of our society’s opinion and commitment to sustainability. As Richard T. Watson states in his book Information Systems, “organizations are the major force for innovation in most societies, and corporations in particular are major change agents” (Boudreau). This statement supports the theory that a company’s decisions within itself can and will determine the societies in which it is located. Some corporations are taking major steps towards becoming sustainable within themselves, therefore starting the change within our whole society. Understanding that corporations strongly determine our economy which is heavily correlated with our society makes it clear that businesses must be sustainable if we ever want our culture to be sustainable.
Therefore socially conscious consumers are more likely to purchase their products and seek employment within the organization.
Today, by no means it is certain our society has the capacity to ensure that the nine billion people expected population on earth by 2050 would all be able to achieve a basic quality of life. The earth’s ecosystem is deteriorating and the climate is changing. We are consuming so much, and so quickly, that we are already living far beyond the earth's capacity to support us. And yet, nearly a sixth of our fellow humans go to bed hungry each day: both an unnecessary tragedy and a source of social and political unrest. Meanwhile, our globalized world is more interconnected and volatile than ever, making us all more vulnerable.
They must also maintain reliable documentation, good relationships with vendors and customers, and evaluate the internal controls set forth by the organization.
How to Become a Sustainable Company, Robert G. E, Kathleen M. P. & George S. Management Review, Vol. 53, issue 4, 2012.
Addressing the challenges and opportunities in environmental policy making requires the analyses of various interweaving aspects which at times is almost impossible when utilizing a single tool under any given circumstance. The primary reason for sustainability planning in Forest Management, Wildlife Conservation and Rangeland Management lies in ensuring natural resources serve the present as well as future population. However, it is impossible to convince the population that is being driven by economic needs to abide by sustainable policies without concrete reasons; this brings in the notion of science-based decision making. Just in case a significant portion of the resources have been destroyed before the enforcement of the sustainable policies, a marketing solution would be employed to prevent further destruction as restoration is underway.
Peace and political stability are key conditions for the creation and development of sustainable enterprises. A constitutional monarchy shaped on the British model, Lesotho is a relatively stable country with a short history of successful, if at times contested, democratic transfers of power. According to the Global Peace Index (IEP), in 2013, Lesotho ranked 49 out of 162 countries . Lesotho gained its independence from Britain in 1966. There followed distinct political periods, characterized, in turn, by multiparty democracy (1966-1970), one-party state (1970-1986), military dictatorship (1986-1993) and the return of multiparty democracy (1993). The last competitive elections were held in May 2012 and involved 18 parties. These elections
Sustainable development still continues to be the main concept around which environment and development are organised. In addition, sustainable development is currently identified as a primary policy goal of many more institutions in development than at any previous time (Elliott, 2006). The general interpretation of sustainability is that development policies must be controlled allowing natural resources to be sustained at their initial level. The sustainability criteria ensures that future generations enjoy the same amount of resources that are undiminished relative to those of the present (Quiggn, 1997:1). However the fundamental assumption presently is that people are over using resources consequently leaving future generations with lesser and that are the cause of these depletions are market processes (Huggins, 2003: 57-71). There are two factors that need to be considered in relation to sustainable development in order to measure and reduce the impacts of the issues facing sustainability. Discount rates are generally used to calculate the future benefits that can be benefited today. Property rights are generally used as a tool to achieve sustainable development.
