Description
Safety Policies
Recall your chosen firm and industry you have been using throughout the course. 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.
You will want to have both an Introduction and a Conclusion in your paper.
The introduction announces the purpose and intent of your paper including the type of business. The body goes into details with at least 3 main safety areas to address for the organization to include the instructions to the employees. The conclusion is the summary that sums things up and provides any final comments or thoughts.For the body of your paper where you 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. I suggest use a header for each one of the three major safety and health issues you identify.
State Policy #1 and address:
- Hazard communication: How will you notify people of potentially dangerous or unhealthy work conditions?
- Blood-borne pathogens: How will you protect employees from blood-borne pathogens such as AIDS?
- Personal protective equipment (PPE): What equipment or tools will your employees in this job require to work safely?
- Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs): How will you prevent CTDs that come from repetitive movement (e.g., carpel tunnel syndrome)?
- Work assignments: How will you handle potentially dangerous work assignments, especially to protect unborn babies?
State Policy #2 and address:
- Hazard communication: How will you notify people of potentially dangerous or unhealthy work conditions?
- Blood-borne pathogens: How will you protect employees from blood-borne pathogens such as AIDS?
- Personal protective equipment (PPE): What equipment or tools will your employees in this job require to work safely?
- Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs): How will you prevent CTDs that come from repetitive movement (e.g., carpel tunnel syndrome)?
- Work assignments: How will you handle potentially dangerous work assignments, especially to protect unborn babies?
State Policy #3 and address:
- Hazard communication: How will you notify people of potentially dangerous or unhealthy work conditions?
- Blood-borne pathogens: How will you protect employees from blood-borne pathogens such as AIDS?
- Personal protective equipment (PPE): What equipment or tools will your employees in this job require to work safely?
- Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs): How will you prevent CTDs that come from repetitive movement (e.g., carpel tunnel syndrome)?
- Work assignments: How will you handle potentially dangerous work assignments, especially to protect unborn babies?
Be sure to closely follow all the instructions for the paper as explained in the syllabus regarding topics, structure, word count requirement, APA formatting. Also, be sure to use sources and references that are current (ideally no older than 4 years, but definitely under 10 years old) Also, the same standard paper formatting rules apply for APA and style with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
NOTE: This is a three-part assignment. All three of the policies (300 words each) you write should go on one document.
Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

These health issues are discussed together with policies that should be put into place to address
them.
Lead Exposure
Lead is used by mobile manufacturers in the manufacture of batteries, circuit boards and
stabilizers in PVC products. Lead exposure can be through breathing or swallowing, and
whichever form of intake, the effects of lead is the same. Lead is toxic to the nervous system, can
cause anemia due to decreased number of red blood cells, damage to the reproductive system and
fatigue due to lack of enough oxygen in the body (OSHA, 2019). Due to the presence of this
health hazard, it is important to let people working in the organization know about it. Employees
who come to the organization for their first time must undergo orientation and training on areas
that have exposure to lead. Training should also be c...
