Q.1 The elements of the plaintiff’s claim for damages against the hotel as the employer include loss of income/earnings or economic loss and pain and suffering. The complaint against the animal keepers as guests is a breach of the duty of care constituting negligence. Examples of animal diseases that one may contract as a result of being around or handling animals include zoonotic diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, arbovirus, and Campylobacteriosis. To avoid infection by these diseases, the care that one should include the use of personal protective equipment such as boot, aprons, overalls, goggles and gloves, ...

Technical Communications

Executive Summary Filmmaking, like everything else, has benefitted from the development of technology. However, this evolution was slow but fruitful, enhancing the world of filmmaking, the quality of the film, and the skills of th filmmakers. From the simple idea of Louis and August Lumier, the French brothers who first screened the short film they were able to take, to the development of the phenakistoscope, or the kinetoscope, by Simon Stampfer and Joseph Plateau, the development of filmmaking technology kept moving forward. Thomas Alva Edisonand Kennedy Laurie Dickson were the first to show one shot films without any camera ...

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used to protect the user against health and safety risks in the workplace. There are various types of PPE, and they include high-visibility clothing, safety helmets, face masks, respiratory protective equipment (RPE), gloves, protective suit, eye protection, ear protection, and safety footwear (OSHA, HSE). The following is a discussion about five types of PPE and their limitations.

Gloves are worn to protect the hand from extreme heat or cold. It is also worn to protect the hand from rough or sharp objects or surfaces. Gloves also protect the hand from being contaminated with harmful ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

ABSTRACT

Safety in aviation relied historically not just in the protective features of the airplane itself but as well in the capability of flight clothing to protect pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory and archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages and disadvantages of protective flight clothing, its evolution through history primarily from the British military ...

While working in the laboratory it is extremely important to remember safety rules. It is not allowed to work in the laboratory without special clothes – robe and safety goggles. Leaving the premises of the laboratory with a robe on is also prohibited. Using protective clothing helps to prevent chemical burns in case of dangerous substances being spilt. Students are not allowed to eat and store food in the laboratory as it might become contaminated. It is prohibited to take utensils and reagents out for laboratory. Personal belongings (bags, folders, etc.) should be kept in specially designated areas, not on ...

Question 1

PCBs Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are chlorinated hydrocarbons with two phenyl rings. They are stable, resistant to fire and possess good insulating properties. Hence, they were used widely before their ban in 1979, in transformers, capacitors, hydraulic machine lubricants, and oil based paints, adhesives, sealants, insulating and caulking material as well as in light ballasts. (US Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA], 2013). EH&S as well as FS personnel would have to handle PCBs when they indulge in building demolition, renovation, decontamination activities or in case of emergencies such as fire and explosion. PCBs present in electrical and building materials pose a ...

Problem Statement:

When we review the management of Carter’s Cleaning Company, it becomes evident that the business may face several challenges, ranging from hazardous chemicals and risks of explosions due to a lack of training, increased dissatisfaction among Carter Cleaning Company employees, management and communication issues, involving Machineries being motorized by high pressure steam, chemical vapors formed during the process and utilization of caustic chemicals for the purpose of cleaning etc.

Key Elements:

Carter’s Cleaning Company makes use of highly motorized pressure steams thus resulting in Risks of boil over if high steam is injected.

The boiling chemical solvent may perhaps explode.

Chemically precarious waste is frequently being produced. ...

Abstract

In an ecosystem, the existence of any species of animals or plants solely depends on the capability to adapt to its environment. This is true because, those species which are poorly adapted become extinct. For example, trees that could not adapt to harsh conditions of the desert were eliminated and those species that were well adapted were spared. This is basically what is called natural selection (Jeff et al 9). Similarly, those animal species that could not adapt to any given environmental conditions of an ecosystem were easily eliminated out of existence. Human being, on the other hand, ...

Formaldehyde

Chemical Concerns According to the National Cancer Institute website, formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling chemical compound used to manufacture building materials and other household products. Exposure of humans to formaldehyde levels exceeding 0.1 ppm may lead to short-term effects such as skin irritation, respiratory problems, nausea, wheezing, and inflammation of the mucus membrane. Formaldehyde is a probable carcinogen and long prolonged exposure to the chemical can lead to certain types of cancer.

Route to Exposure

In most cases, people expose themselves to formaldehyde when using volatile organic compounds such as paints, pesticides, and building materials. When using these products, they emit organic compounds. ...

Part 1

- Describe at least six important H&S factors when using a centre lathe and explain how these factors can be used to reduce risk when machining components The centre lathe is used to make cylindrical shapes from materials such as steels and plastics. Some of the safety factors to consider when operating a lathe machine include: - The lathe machine should only be operated by competent persons who fully understand how to use the machine and have gone through safety training about lathes. - The lathe machine operator must always wear safety goggles whenever operating the machine ...

Aim: The aim is to determine the effect of temperature on the rate in which pepsin digests albumen.

Research Question: What is the effect of temperature on the rate in which the enzyme pepsin digests protein (albumen)? Background Information: Enzymes are globular proteins acting as catalysts of chemical reactions. An enzyme has an active site: region on the surface of an enzyme catalyzing a chemical reaction involving the substrates and to which substrates bind. The active site of an enzyme has a unique shape; therefore, the enzymes can only catalyze certain reactions since solely substrates of the same size can fit. The enzyme is therefore specific to its substrate; consequently, the enzyme is seen as ...

1. Types of Risks and Hazards

In any building sites there exist various hazards that may lead to numerous risks to the workers in a building site. The hazards include:

2. Assessment of the Risks

Trenches and Excavations sides are likely to collapse any time when weights are applied. This poses a threat as soil cannot be relied to carry its own weight.

Head injuries in a building site are hazards that might result due to tools, equipments, and materials that fall from ladders or from high heights.

Electricity at the construction site is dangerous as they result ...
