On one of Pankow’s job sites, we had a Pankow Carpenter fracture his ankle by stepping into a three foot trench. As the carpenter stepped into the trench, his right ankle landed underneath of him; causing a fracture to his right ankle. There were four key lessons learned that the team came up with during the Project Level Incident Review. 1. The caution tape was wrapped around two pylons, and the pipe stubbing up from the hole. This creates a triangle perimeter leaving two corners of the trench exposed. The employee stepped into the part of the trench that was poorly secured. If the trench was fully perimetered with caution tape it may have prevented the incident. 2. The Project Team directed the Subcontractor to backfill the trench 11 days
From this incident was any employee disciplined for not following safety procedures. This would establish if the company believes the employees were negligent in their duty.
Assume you are an M-Global field engineer working at the construction site of a nuclear power plant in Jentsen, Missouri. For the past three weeks, your job has been to observe the construction of a water-cooling tower, a large cylindrical structure. As consultants to the plant’s construction firm, you and your M-Global crew were hired to make sure that work proceeds properly and on schedule. As the field engineer, you are supposed to report any problems in writing to your project manager, John Raines, back at your St. Louis office. Then he will contact the construction firm’s office, if necessary.
Mr. Garcia had received some training on excavation safety in 2002. Elliott Construction sent him to the class about safety in trenches. He was instructed on the different types of soils, excavate a trench, how to make steps and slope. A company called ENS taught the class, in English. The next training Mr. Garcia took occurred after the accident. All the workers were apart of this training.
All employees of Robinson’s Excavation are valued members of the organization which is why safety must always come first. The construction industry is traditionally a hazardous work environment, but with vigilance, dedication, and training, the dangers can be significantly reduced. In order to provide the employees of Robinson’s Excavation with a safe work environment, all employees, regardless of status, are required to follow and enforce all safety procedures, which are not all inclusive. Additionally, the following protocol is in compliance with all state and federal OHSA regulations.
The Company also violated 29 C.F.R. § 1926.652(a)(1) for failing to protect employees from cave-ins (www.osha.gov): Williams had reason to know that its employees would enter the trench on the day of the collapse and had actual knowledge that two of its employees entered the trench prior to the cave-in. It is unavailing for Williams to argue that employees must take greater care to avoid placing themselves in harm's way or that management can “expect an employee not [to] intentionally place himself in danger.” Such a claim misconstrues the purpose of
During interviews that were conducted during the investigation, it became evident that a lot of employees are no understanding of the OSHA regulations and had received no training on trench safety. The second violation states that Williams did not ensure that their employees did not have to travel more than twenty-five feet to a safe zone. The trench that the employees were working was more than forty-five feet long and only had one exit. At the time of the collapse the employees in question were deep into the trench trying to clean out the water pumps that were in place. This causes a hazard for them because they were unable to reach safety or escape once the walls collapsed. The third violation stated the there was no “competent person” on the job that had extensive knowledge of trench safety. It is regulation by OSHA to have at least one person on cite that is able to spot existing and potential hazards on the job cite. During the investigation it was clear that no employees had knowledge of OSHA or any of the regulations related to trench safety. The fourth and final violation was that Williams failed to ensure that the walls of the excavation were either sloped or supported. It was stated early in the case that the support provided by a hydraulic jack was removed the night before the collapse causes the walls and work environment to be un-stable.
On Monday, March 7, 2016 at approximately 0139 hours, FHEO Security Officers were dispatched to room #5109 for a (53D) Disorderly Patient in Medical Unit who was acting in a belligerent manner and attempting to leave his room to go home.

Yes, in my own personal opinion I think that the safety officer did handle the situation correctly. Bonnie was given multiple opportunities to listen and to do away with the heater and extension cord to prevent any injuries of any of the other employees.
Safety First is a phrase most have heard throughout their career, but what impact does that have when there is an increase of safety incidents on base? Newly appointed safety officers inherit any outstanding safety challenges as well as any benchmark programs that brings safety to light. However, if the program is broken the safety officer must utilize the skills harbored within assigned personnel to make a difference for the betterment of the wing. As the new wing safety officer, I have been tasked to eradicate the trends in safety mishaps and make sure there is a process in place to prevent future occurrences. This paper will outline an
Workers are protected under the Workplace Health and Safety Act. This act states that all workers have the right to know about the hazards they are working with. This includes what the specific dangers of the task or object(s) are, and what precautions must be taken to prevent any injuries from happening while working with them. Secondly, all workers have the right to participate. They are allowed to participate in any health and safety activities, meetings, and/or plans. Additionally, workers can refuse to work if they believe their task could in any way harm themselves or others. The Vice President of Health and Safety (the supervisor) will then have to investigate the problem and will have to come up with a solution to avoid the potential
Donald Trump is one the top Republican candidates who is running. He is very famous for his various TV shows and earning his wealth through his massive real estate business. Donald Trump is very different, compared to Hillary Clinton and even to the other Republican candidates, because he will tell you how it is, and he will not sugar coat anything. He is what most would call “brutally honest.” The policies and views he has on certain things are positive and negative. One of Trumps biggest challenges is getting people to think of him a serious candidate. Many Americans see him as “goofy” and not serious enough to be a good president. Another issue he will face will be getting his party support and vote because his policies are very aggressive. Donald Trump’s background is in business not in a political field. This could cause a major support problem because many of his Republican opponents have political backgrounds. Trump is campaigning with three key policies: tax reform, second amendment rights, and immigration reform. He believes that if he can accomplish these three things he will be able to “make America great again.” One of his other obstacles he has to face is his views over abortion. Being the Republican candidate he is, it is expected of his him to have strong views of anti-abortion. What most citizens do not like is the fact that he used to be pro-choice and now he is pro-life.
The reason for this essay is to reflect on a critical incident experience during my six week placement as a student nurse on an orthopedic ward. To explore an event as a critical incident is a value judgment, and the basis of that judgment is the significance attached to the meaning of the incident. Critical incidents are created or produced by the way we look at a situation. Tripp (1993)
The paper will consist of explaining why the Death Penalty is wrong. It will take a look at the history of the Death Penalty, how it is viewed today, and the different methods of execution. This paper will also assess the how the death penalty is practiced in the United States and compare it to the practices of countries in Europe and Asia. It is important to note that the United States’ Death Penalty is acknowledged by some of its states and claim it to be protected by the Eighth Amendment, which bans cruel and unusual punishment.
