To make the answers relatable I am a female working in the insurance department. Please have the answers separate from each other. 1.Reflect on any experiences you have had working in an environment where hearing protection was required. Did you wear the personal protective equipment (PPE) willingly? Could the type of PPE provided have been improved? If you have never worked in a noisy environment or have never been required to wear PPE, what do you think would be some of the barriers to PPE compliance? How could the barriers be removed? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary. 2. In 2001, Congress overturned the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)s extensive ergonomics rules that required virtually all employers to create programs to protect employees against repetitive stress disorders. Reflect on whether you think this was the right or wrong thing to do. Explain your reasoning. Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary. 3.Think about how your current organization, or one with which you are familiar, manages its Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) program. Reflect on how the organization uses a structured injury and illness prevention program framework, or are programs managed reactively, based on the most recent accident or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspection? What recommendations would you make to improve the existing process? If one does not currently exist, what recommendations would you make to put a program in place? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary. 4.Most people have experienced a time at work when they were made to feel uncomfortable in some way. Looking back at an experience like this that you have had and taking what you have learned from this course, how might you have approached or reacted to the situation differently? Do you feel you are now more equipped to mitigate or respond to a similar situation if it were to present itself again? Why, or why not? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
