Safety Policies

 

Recall your chosen firm and industry you have been using throughout the course.(Construction Company) For this assignment, you will identify the top three major safety and health issues in your firm, and write a policy on each, consistent with Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) standards. There is a minimum requirement of 300 words for each of the three job policies.

 

Each of the five domains of OSHA must be considered when writing these three policies:

 

1. Hazard communication: How will you notify people of potentially dangerous or unhealthy work conditions?

 

2. Blood-borne pathogens: How will you protect employees from blood-borne pathogens such as AIDS?

 

3. Personal protective equipment (PPE): What equipment or tools will your employees in this job require to work safely?

 

4. Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs): How will you prevent CTDs that come from repetitive movement (e.g., carpel tunnel syndrome)?

 

5. Work assignments: How will you handle potentially dangerous work assignments, especially to protect unborn babies?

 

NOTE: This is a three-part assignment. All three of the policies (300 words each) you write should go on one document. This one document is what will be uploaded to Blackboard.

 

Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format

Planning for our patients during times of transitions (for example: hospital to home, home to rehabilitation facility) involves collaboration with a number of healthcare professionals. Please address the following questions:

 

How does your facility promote interprofessional collaboration during times of patient transitions?

 

What is the role of the nurse in patient transitions?

 

What gaps can you identify in this process related to quality of care? 

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 2 and 3 in your text, The Five Functions of Effective Management.

 

Address the following bullets, and provide an example company for each structure, with supporting rationale:

 

• Provide an example of one company that should employ the simple structure organizational configuration.
• Provide an example of one company that uses the machine bureaucracy form of structure.
• Describe the kinds of organizations should feature a professional bureaucracy form of structure. Give an example of one such organization.
• Describe the kinds of firms should use the divisional form of structure. Provide an example.
• Describe the types of organizations are best suited to the adhocracy form of structure. Provide an example.

Create a one-page job aid that can be used to support execution of a specific task on the job. A job aid should be simple, contain relevant graphics and be no more than one page. [Note: In real life, some job aids are on a small card or a clip board, but others can be posters placed in a work space, or on-line pop up screens to be referenced during a transaction.  The important thing is, keep it simple. This isn’t a reference manual! Just something staff can refer to on the job to remember how to perform a specific task. ]

 

 

 

Add a 500-700 word memo to your boss describing the new job aid and how you recommend it be deployed.  

 

• What is the purpose of the job aid? Why is it needed?
• Is it going to be in paper or electronic format? How will it be distributed?
• What type of communication and training will be needed around use of the new job aid?
• What change management issues might arise?
• What will employees be able to do differently now that they have the job aid and know how to use it?

Choose one (1) company that you believe would be an  ideal company to work for based on working conditions, salary,  opportunity for advancement and work involved. Use the Internet to  research.

1. Evaluate the fundamental driving forces that shape the  organizational environment of the selected company. Be sure to address  the following: competing in a global marketplace, workforce diversity,  ethics and morality, and technological innovation.
2. Examine the selected company’s specific practices or policies.  Speculate on the major influences that these practices or policies have  on individual and organizational outcomes.
3. Determine which practices related to work attitudes in U.S.  organizations are most strongly affected by diversity and suggest a  strategy to address the effects.
4. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
