How often testing should take place, based on legislation, ACGIH, CCOHS, & industry best practices.

Introduction to the assignment:
In the final assignment of the course students will develop an Industrial hygiene procedure based on a specific industry that will be assigned to them. The procedure will document what will be accomplished and how and will also determine the scope (what the procedure will cover or be limited to), roles and responsibilities (who will contribute to the procedure implementation), definitions to explain technical features of the procedure, and references that list legislation, industry best practices, etc. The procedure will explain things such as the type of testing that should be conducted, where, under what circumstances, and where to send samples.
For the purposes of this assignment occupational hygiene exposures to physical agents such as heat, cold, noise, vibration, and radiation (both ionizing & non-ionizing radiation) should be considered. Exposures to gases, vapours, mists, aerosols, fumes, smoke, dusts, fibres, and particulates should also be reviewed. Legislation such as Regulation 833 Control of Exposure to Chemical or Biological Substances should be reviewed, as should Material Safety Data Sheets for the substances or material under study.
The purpose of this assignment is to help students learn how to develop an industrial hygiene procedure. The maximum number of pages allowed for the assignment is eight, not including the Title Page, Table of Contents, and References. Elements of the procedure should include:
Title page
Table of Contents
Purpose (in place of an introduction) Provide an outline of why industrial hygiene testing is to be conducted, what should be sampled and the permissible exposure limit for those substances or material.
Scope For example, if reviewing industrial baking the scope of the procedure may cover heat stress, cold stress, and exposure to baking products such as…..in areas of a facility.
Definitions For example;
8-hour TWA limit: means the time weighted average (TWA) concentration of a substance in air which may not be exceeded over a normal 8 hour work period.
Industrial hygiene: means the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers’ injury or illness.
Roles & Responsibilities For example, a plant manager (VP Operations, etc.) may be responsible for allocating time & resources to accomplish tasks such as testing. A health & safety coordinator or manager may arrange for testing or perform testing if qualified. From research list who may be involved in performing certain tasks to complete hygiene testing.
The Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC) may accompany those performing testing or review the results of testing. Review JHSC roles in legislation from the Ontario Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA). Communication to employees of the industrial hygiene procedure and testing that may be involved is vital so there is no confusion as to why its taking place (is it routine or was there an issue).
Procedures which may include;
1. The type of testing pertinent to the industry being studied & the qualifications of those involved.
2. When the testing should take place, based on ACGIH or other industry standards.

4. Where hygiene testing should typically take place within a facility, based on your research.
5. What steps should be taken to protect worker health & safety if new installations or processes are introduced, based on legislation (OHSA) or industry best practices.
6. Where exposure samples should be sent to ensure accurate results.
Communications & Survey Results Analysis which may include;
1. Who to notify of test results within an organization.
2. List what should be done with test results. What should they be compared to?
3. How long should records be retained based on legislation or best practices.
4. In the absence of legislated exposure limits list what standard should be adopted.
5. If exposure limits are exceeded list a brief overview of next steps or corrective actions.
References List the source of information gathered. Provide the title, author, publisher, edition, year of publication and city – if web site, name of the web site, the information that was accessed, the specific link in the web site and date accessed.
Research Sources:
The ACGIH, NIOSH, CCOHS, HSE, Center for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. Department of Labor websites should be very useful to you for this assignment. NIOSH also provides a manual of analytical methods (NMAM) that lists the methodology for carrying out hygiene testing on different of substances, in case you wish to review them.
Use your preferred search engine and type in the industry under study and the words “Industrial hygiene exposure limits” or other similar words and see what you come up with.
*On another note, if you copy or cut and paste any tables from websites, or copy phrases, you must indicate where they came from as per the instructions in the Bibliography.

Security Management and the Convergence of Physical and IT (Logical) security.

Assignment Instructions For your research paper in this course, you will write an analytical research paper addressing a major issue of your choosing from among the topics covered in this course. As a research paper, your paper will have to answer a significant puzzle related to a course topic. The following is the topic I have chosen to research: Security Management and the Convergence of Physical and IT (Logical) security within the security industry. The length of the paper should be at least fifteen (15) pages in length. Be sure to include your reference list and to properly cite sources in APA throughout your paper. Your title and reference page are not counted in the minimum page length. Title Page of the Paper: The title of your paper should be brief but should adequately inform the reader of your general topic and the specific focus of your research. Keywords relating to parameters, population, and other specifics are useful. The Title Page must include the title, name, course name and number, and Professors Name. Introduction, Research Question, and Hypothesis: This section shall provide an overview of the topic that you are writing about, a concise synopsis of the issues, and why the topic presents a puzzle that prompts your research questions, which you will include. This section will end your introduction with your research question. Review of the Literature: All research projects include a literature review to set out for the reader what knowledge exists on the subject under study and helps the researcher develop the research strategy to use in the study. A good literature review is a thoughtful study of what has been written, a summary of the arguments that exist (whether you agree with them or not), arranged thematically. At the end of the summary, there should still be gaps in the literature that you intend to fill with your research. As a literature review, this section should identify the common themes and theories that the prior research identified. In this section, what you do is look at the conclusions of prior research and identify what the common themes are you see in those conclusions. You then identify those themes. The APUS online library has some helpful information on what a literature review is: https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources-services/Writing/writing-center/graduate-writing/the-literature-review.html Methodology and Research Strategy: This section provides the reader with a description of how you carried out your qualitative research project, and the variables you identified and analyzed. It describes any special considerations and defines any limitations and terms specific to this project, if necessary. This section can be brief or more complicated, depending on the project. Analysis and Findings: are not the same as conclusions. In the analysis component of this section you identify how you analyzed the data. The second part is the finding you got from your analysis of the data. The findings are the facts that you developed, not your interpretation of the facts. That interpretation is conducted in the conclusions and recommendations section of the paper. Findings will come from the prior research you examined and your analysis of those prior findings to create new findings for your paper. While there may be some facts that are such that they will stand and translate to your paper, the intent is to create new knowledge, so you will normally analyze the data to create your own findings of what facts that data represents. Conclusions and Recommendations: is the section where you give your interpretation of the data. Here you tell the reader what the findings mean. Often the conclusions and recommendations sections will mirror the findings in construct as the researcher tells the reader what that researcher sees as the meaning of that data, their conclusions. Then, drawing on those conclusions, the researcher tells the reader what they believe needs to be done to solve/answer the research question. This section may include recognition of any needs for further research and then finishes with a traditional conclusion to the paper as a whole. Remember, your paper should seek to answer a question that helps to solve the research puzzle you identified. Scoring Rubric: The following is a synopsis of that rubric. Area of Evaluation Maximum Points Focus/Thesis 20 Content/Subject Knowledge 20 Critical Thinking Skills 20 Organization of Ideas/Format 20 Writing Conventions 20 Technical Requirements: Length: 15 pages, double spaced, 1″ margins, 12 pitch type in Times New Roman font, left Citations/References: You must use the APA style for this assignment. Submission: All work is to be submitted as an attachment to the assignment link by 11:55 pm on the due date. All work should be prepared in Microsoft Word format and submitted as an attachment.

For this assignment, we will build on what was started in the case assignnment. It has been 90 days since you hired the two new managers. Everyone is seemingly adapting but you want to make sure all went according the previous strategies you outlined. Given that, you believe it is time to follow up with appraisals. On another note, the CEO informs you that now that the organization is doing well, it will now merge with another organization that will have direct oversight of several departments, which include bringing in a new set of managers from the incoming organization. You realize that change is inevitable, so you will need to share those plans to current employees and managers as well. In an 8-10 page paper, address the following: Your plan for employee performance appraisals in the accounting and customer service departments This includes expectations from managers and how you plan to train them to conduct the appraisals Write about how you as the HRM will lead the upcoming change Incorporate any innovative and future trends you believe will assist with the aforementioned plans and strategies you plan to incorporate In your conclusion, briefly discuss one major challenge and one major opportunity anticipated with the leadership/managers because of what you must do to ensure success in the organization. Writing Guidelines: Please use the APA style formatting for the entire paper (includes in text referencing as well as list of references). Include 8-10 references in your paper Make sure your introduction has a purpose statement and the main body follows what you wrote in the introduction Include a summary of the main points in your conclusion
