1. Sanitation Safety Planning
Sanitation safety planning (SSP) is a risk-based management tool for sanitation systems that prevents exposure to disease-causing excreta, from containment through emptying, transport, treatment, and to disposal or reuse phase (Organization, Sanitation safety planning, Manuel for Safe Use and Disposal of wastewater, greywater, and excreta 2015).
SSP can be applied in both formal and informal settings for improving existing systems. SSP is also useful in the reduction of health impacts while increasing the benefits of reuse.
First step in the SSP is a system assessment, to identify the sanitation chain, exposure groups, pathways, and potential hazards. Second step is the develop and implementation of

The organization responsible for overseeing collection and transport can has to assure the provision of appropriate equipment, working according to standard operating procedures. Controls may also include proper design and construction of sanitation systems, working with trained operators, and have a preventive maintenance program. For example, periodic testing of effluent and checks on delivery volumes may be included in the monitoring phase. As the performance of the treatment plant have a serious effect on the way the bio-solids are applied in the farm, pathogens can be recycled back to the community leading to a disease outbreak. Costs in terms of public health and businesses reputation need to be taken into account.
Following with the forth step which consist of developing supporting programs and reviewing plans. When the fecal sludge is delivered to the treatment plant, adequate management is not always done and some products end in dumping sites leading to serious health and environmental impacts. In that case, SSP should also identify dumping as a hazardous event and include controls and monitoring to manage these risks posed to the wider community. A plan can also be developed at the treatment level, so that effluent and bio-solids meet agreed standards (Organization, Sanitation safety planning, Manuel for Safe Use and Disposal of wastewater, greywater, and excreta 2015).
2. Sanitation from a Gender perspective
Gender refers to the
1) The remedy chosen must attain a degree of cleanup that assures the protection of human health and environment. 2) The hazardous substances that will remain after the cleanup, they must meet the applicable and/or relevant and appropriate requirements under federal and state law (ARARs). 3) The remedy chosen must utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or resource recovery technologies to the maximum extent applicable. 4) There must be cost effective response, taking into consideration total long-and short-term costs of the actions. And 5) It must be in accordance with the NCP to a practicable
SUPPORTING INFECTION AND PREVENTION AND CONTROL ON SOCIAL CARE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 1. Explain how infection prevention policies and guidelines can be applied in own working settings Infection prevention policies and guidelines can be applied by • Providing information that is recent on how to prevent infections. Training staff regularly and making regular supervision relating to health and infection. • Providing the right equipment at all time for staff and service users can go a long way to prevent infection. Also making sure the proper sterilizing of scissors, urine bottles……… • Proper disposal of material used for service users.
There is need for International Corporation to come together to solve this problem because individual government of countries cannot handle it alone. The World Health organization requires that countries have the food surveillance program to monitor the food borne out borne disease outbreak in every county. The surveillance system uses electronic programmed computer to detect the presence of pathogens and bacterium which are microscopic in nature on items of food that pass across the border of every country. When the pathogen is detected in a food, such food item is banned and seized at port of entry of the
When working in the setting it is important that you follow all policies and procedures. The health and safety polices include safe guarding, staff development and training and admissions. In the setting they work with the local safeguarding children board, this means that we protect the children and all staff are fully trained. In the setting it is important to make sure that all the staff and volunteers have a DBS check and are suitable to work with children. It is also important that staff are always reminded of the policies and procedures by reading some every month. It is also important that staff are given courses to attend to make sure that they are all up to
Every fertilizer company should set up a check team to periodically review the storage of dangerous chemicals as some careless first responders may place them in the wrong place. The check team should establish a penalty procedure to keep noticing the importance of safety. The check team should report the results about their monitoring to the authority.
Ensure that all the farm’s residents have the proper utensils they need live a comfortable lifestyle: hot water, food, toiletry items, etc.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) described the general treatment of wastewater and its two basic stages, primary and secondary. In the primary treatment most solids are caught in a screen, then the sewage goes to a grit chamber to settle small pieces of debris at the bottom, then through the sedimentation tank. Afterwards, secondary treatment removes a majority of the organic matter, eventually being chlorinated before reaching an effluent (EPA, 1998).
The clean water act has adopted some strategies such as introduction of NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) which is governed by United States Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA). The discharge of point source (Industrial wastes, agricultural wastes) material is mainly regulated by the NPDES (Mattioni,
The effectiveness of this method is that the waste is properly is disposed off through cautious means. Allied Medical Waste Tracking is keen on training its drivers and equipping them with skills that enable them to perform their duties as expected and as in line with the organization’s mission. The drivers’ knowledge on how to handle spillages comes in as a very important aspect in the waste management business. Apart from the medical waste, Allied Medical Waste Tracking decided to take up veterinary waste and use it as a way of improving its market and profits as well.
Each of these steps includes an element of site characterization and the potential for future use. These steps include: Preliminary Assessment/Site Inspection (PA/SI) which investigates the site conditions, Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) which determines the nature and extent of the contamination, Record of Decision (ROD) which explains the cleanup technologies that will be used at the site, Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) which is the final step in preparation for the implementation of site remedies, and then post cleanup activities, such as the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) which is conducted for many years after the site is remediated to ensure that the remedy remains effective. (EPA 2000)
The prevention of disease is one of the most important aspects of raising livestock. If disease is introduced to the farm or operation, it can be an operation breaker because it can cause all the animals to to contract the disease and not be able to be productive.
An assessment of the risks to health arising from the use of hazardous substances at work and deciding what precautions are needed,
Phase 2 – Develop, test and implement the plan. Here, attention to detail and active participation by all stakeholders ensure the development of a plan worth implementing. The plan itself must include the recovery strategy with all of its detailed components and the test plan.
Congress passed The Solid Waste Disposal Act in 1965. The Agency of Environmental Safety considered this Act as the primary effort made by federal authority for efficient waste clearance technology. This act controls the dumping material; manage storage and management of solid, both and non-precarious and precarious wastage. It highlights the processes that are environmentally liable to dispose waste at the commercial, municipal, industrial and household levels (Tchobanoglous & Vergara, 2010). This was considered as primary initiative of a chain of systems focusing on resource management and air cleaning (Gerlak, 2005). There have been several major adjustments made to the Act with the reference to Resource Recovery and Conservation Act (1976). The involvement of federal
