Statement of Purpose: Guidepost for Tackling the Problem of Road Safety

Diversion was a key factor in 58 percent of accidents including drivers ages 16 to 19.

Mechanical equipment needs to be maintained to run effectively. This includes your car, especially since you rely on your vehicle to get you to work, school or to drive your children around town. When you don't maintain your vehicle with a regular tune-up, you can run into serious problems that could cost thousands to repair.

I read Eric the Warning to Motorist from a pre-printed form at 1840 hours. Eric agreed to provide a urine sample at 1845 hour, which I was present for the voiding of the bladder. The primarily result were positive for opiates. The urine sample was inventoried to be sent to the State of Illinois Crime Lab. He agreed to perform a breath test, which I administered 1905 hours, I am a certified breath operator and the results were (.000).

Between the months of December 2016 and January 2017 driving incidents have slightly increased. Eighty percent of the incidents were minor fender benders. There are many other reasons that could potentially contribute to this slight increase of incidents. However, incident free driving requires 100% effort from the drivers and anything less increases the probability of an incident. The safety team put together new initiatives for vehicles safety. The main purpose is to promote zero accidents and positively impact behavior change.

In the recent years, the United States government has been enforcing stricter mandates on auto manufacturers to create safer vehicles, and on construction companies to create safer roadways. Matthew Jensen wrote a dissertation for the Graduate School of Clemson University titled, A Methodology for the Analysis of In-vehicle Operating Data and Design of Intelligent Vehicle Systems for Improved Automotive Safety. In his abstract, Jensen evaluated the future of vehicle manufacturing and traffic-related incidents. Of course, every year more vehicles are manufactured, which in theory means the number of miles driven in vehicles increases. He points out how the World Health Organization (WHO) found that automobile crashes was the ninth

In Melcher-Dallas, Iowa, children walking to and from school put themselves in danger by walking in the streets instead of the adjacent sidewalks. When the children walk in the streets, they do not walk along the left side or any side in general; they walk spread out in the streets. Before and after school, a number of inexperienced teen drivers drive on the same streets the children walk in, not to mention the number of people who choose to ignore the speed limit signs. Linda Snook, the Melcher-Dallas’s school crosswalk guard, notes that “people speed through the school zone with no consideration of the kids. One of these times, a kid is going to end up getting hit.” When children endanger themselves because they want to walk in the streets, a major problem is presented.

Driving is an important part of daily life for many seniors over the age of 60 – one that often represents their independence, and their freedom to go where they want without the assistance of someone else.

As an officer in public safety, interactive communication is a vital skill when interviewing witnesses, victims, and suspects; because they need to be able to obtain information. When questioning individuals, it is crucial not to suggest, or force an answer since officers want the interviewee to explain their story without any contamination. Some interviewers naturally develop skills which make them a good interviewer; however, many need to practice and develop these skills over time. By critically analyzing other officer’s interviews, it can enhance ones’ own skill due to being conscious of mistakes.

Looking at the current organization, I can attest on everyone’s effort to adhere to the six aims of the Institute of Medicine. For nurses, it is vital for them to understand these as nurses will be the key players to meeting these quality standards. One important key player, I have read was the inclusion of patients and families in participating in safety promotion. I can agree on this since advanced technology affords the community to be more informed about health issues. In fact, patients can now access their records and communicate with their providers through telemedicine. Hence, nurses should engage them in implementing safety measures as well. As nurses continue to experience being shorthanded at work, maintaining patient

The interview process is essential to an investigation. Before interviewing people, the investigator should have a thorough plan for whom he should interview, what kind of questions he should ask for each interviewee and when and where should the interviews take place. Investigators use a variety of interview techniques such as NeuroLinguistic Programming and Kinesic Mirroring. A successful interview can increase the chances for the investigator to build a better rapport.

The role of the safety professional will vary depending on the setting that they are working in and will vary based on the types of assistants and people that he or she surrounds themselves with. First and foremost I believe that they safety manager needs to foster and nurture a positive safety environment. They need to understand that employees should not try and avoid him or her but welcome the safety manager and feel free to make suggestions or bring up potential issues in the workplace. A safety professional may or may not be an expert on a particular machine, process or hazard, and they must be humble enough and smart enough to bring in the right people to assist with conducting a job hazard analysis on a task. If they safety

After assessing all of your goals and aspiration, I have identified the additional duty of Unit Safety Representative to be the most beneficial for you at this time. The position would open your eyes regarding all of the problems faced from beyond your own career field into the support and operational world. This same perspective would help to give you a good overall view of how other portions of the Air Force work. With support, maintenance and operational oversight being a part of the job you would be able to identify where small problems end up causing larger problems in the future. This insight would help with your overall goal of becoming a CMSgt. While the position comes with many new challenges, it is ultimately a self-paced position. You will be free to work and rest as you see fit

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as "the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property"—a traffic and not a criminal offense like road rage. Examples include speeding or driving too fast for conditions, improper lane changing, tailgating and improper passing. Approximately 6,800,000 crashes occur in the United States each year; a substantial number are estimated to be caused by aggressive driving. 1997 statistics compiled by NHTSA and the American Automobile Association show that almost 13,000 people have been injured or killed since 1990 in crashes caused by aggressive driving. According to a NHTSA survey, more than 60 percent of

Teens need to be taught that driving is a task that is complex and demanding. Parents know how much experience a young driver has, and they know exactly how inconvenient it is when they have to drive with their teen everywhere while they have their permit. Teens tend to cause most traffic accidents in adults’ eyes. They are not experienced yet, and often fail to pay attention to others on the road. They often think of a car as being some type of toy, but they do not know how powerful it really is. The driver education programs must be strengthened in order to make sure that students really have safer habits, behind the wheel experience, and by having a better understanding of all the laws on the road.

It’s a dark rainy night. You and your family are coming home from a late night family party. As a car is coming through an intersection another car cut in front of it. The driver decides to hit the brakes so you can avoid the car, but as he presses the brakes, the car loses control on the slick wet road. He is not able to gain control and at that point he has endangered the lives of himself and many others on the road. This is just one example of the many types of things that occur in our streets everyday. All that would have been needed to avoid this situation would have been a traction control system in his car, which would have detected that the car was skidding and would have applied the brakes to
