Unit III Annotated Bibliography

Using the CSU Online Library, choose at least five articles—two of which must be professional, peer-reviewed journal articles—on the effects of accidents on individuals and the importance of safety and health training (including refresher training). After a careful review of these articles, write an annotated bibliography in proper APA format. The annotated bibliography must be around three pages in length.

The CSU Success Center offers a great resource regarding annotated bibliographies. The webinar below is designed to walk you through the process of creating an annotated bibliography. Topics covered will include selecting proper sources, highlighting key points, and summarizing contents of the source.

UNIT III STUDY GUIDE The Human Element Course Learning Outcomes for Unit III Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to: 8. Examine effective means of communicating safety and health issues in the workplace. 8.1 Analyze the effects of accidents on individuals, including how this may increase stress levels. 8.2 Analyze the importance of safety and health training, including refresher training. Reading Assignment Chapter 2: Accidents and Their Effects Chapter 12: Safety and Health Training Chapter 13: Violence in the Workplace Chapter 27: Hazard Analysis/Prevention and Safety Management Unit Lesson Chapter 2: Accidents and Their Effects In this chapter, Goetsch (2015) begins to provide an appreciation for the overall cost that is associated with workplace injuries and illnesses. The one area not mentioned is that of the cost of workers’ compensation. As with any other insurance company, workers’ compensation rates are going to be based upon the number of cases reported for the particular industry in question. Other costs that may be associated with this, particularly if the organization in question has their own health insurance policies, is the cost of the health insurance to both the individual employee (through the form of rising premiums) and also rising premiums for the company itself. This is where wellness programs can really assist—especially those programs associated with weight loss and smoking cessation. It is important to understand how wellness plays a huge role in injuries both at work and outside of work. Additionally, mental wellness is a big part of this. Long before society became familiar with the term PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), there were other efforts to understand and cope with those conditions that the employee may be exposed to when they witness or are somehow involved with a major or traumatic event at work. This effort is often associated with law enforcement or other first-responding organizations as well as utility workers, to name a few, and it is referred to as critical incident stress management (CISM). Other organizations have developed something similar to this, in which case there is a critical incident stress management team (CIST) that essentially acts as an intervention and talks to the individual affected shortly after the event has occurred. This helps to defuse (for lack of a better term) the effect of the incident so that the individual does not develop PTSD. To find out more information on CISM, conduct a simple web search for this topic. You may also find training aids, PowerPoint presentations, handouts, and even training so that you can form your own team and be certified. MOS 5101, Safety and Accident Prevention 1 Chapter 27: Hazard Analysis/Prevention and Safety Management UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title When discussing accident investigations, it is important to have some critical tools at your disposal. This way, you can gain an appreciation regarding what the actual accident investigation may involve. At the same time, you should also be aware of these processes because they often, in at least one form or another, have already been conducted during the product development stage. A good understanding of these types of processes forms a good background for the investigator. Under the section on cost-benefit analysis (or CBA), Goetsch (2015) discusses how a company would not necessarily want to spend $10 to fix a $1 problem. This is true. However, if you will recall when we were discussing issues on product liability and how the United States is the most litigious nation in the world, before an organization decides not to spend the $10, there really needs to be a thorough fault tree analysis in order to make sure that the $1 problem is not going to cause some other major problem that could wind up having catastrophic effects. Note the sample form in the textbook on page 564 that you can utilize in your own workplaces to conduct a hazard assessment, if you do not already have such a form or process. On page 574 of your textbook, Goetsch begins to discuss those requirements under 29 CFR 1910.120, commonly referred to as the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard. For those of you who have never been through the 40-hour course on the subject, it is recommend that you do so. The course itself provides a very good overview of the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), air sampling, respiratory protection, heat stress, confined space operations, and many other areas of the OSHA regulations. Even if you are not currently involved with hazardous materials, this course provides solid and generalized background on those topics that a good number of safety personnel find themselves involved with. This can come from something as simple as a car fire in the employee parking lot to an errant delivery driver accidentally causing an unintentional release. Other areas where some basic tenets of this standard can be found include the acquisition of new property or excavations on land that is expected to be contaminated. Your textbook also provides a quick discussion on the actual management of a safety program. It is important that everything is quantified or described to the point where there is no mistake as to what the report is stating. This goes for diagrams and photographs as well. Any and all recommendations need to include who these recommendations were sent to and why, and the results should be annotated. Any new procedure or modification of an existing procedure or piece of equipment needs to be followed up to ensure that the cure did not create a bigger hazard. Sometimes, what looks good on paper has no practicality in the workplace. In the “Ongoing Monitoring” section of your textbook (see p. 579), the one thing that may work the best here are walkthroughs (i.e., inspections, surveys, audits, etc.). In other words, you cannot be a safety professional by sitting behind a desk! Chapter 12: Safety and Health Training This is the chapter on training. In the military, training is considered to be of utmost importance. There are two adages they live by: train in the way you will fight (meaning that you should conduct realistic training) and training is everything, and everything is training. This last adage simply means to turn everything into a training lesson. In order to do this, it is important to conduct a review of the decision-making process and the events that have just occurred and look at what participants learned from it. This review is referred to as an after-action review (AAR). These can be formal (in writing) or informal, which often take the form of a verbal discussion. Any action that needs to be taken, such as the purchase of new equipment or a change in the way the existing equipment or methods are used or implemented, has to be written down and assigned to an individual to accomplish. This way, you assign responsibility for the change. The other thing about training adults is the training itself should not only be realistic, but it should have purpose. If you inform the learner why they are actually doing something, they get more value out of it. This is the difference between education and training. If you inform the learner why they are learning something and teach them about the subject, he or she will have an appreciation for the training session itself. This also has a tendency of empowering employees to make their own decisions. Try to relate their learning experience to how they can use the information presented in their personal life as well. MOS 5101, Safety and Accident Prevention 2 The training session also has to have some form of validation, meaning that the instructor hasGUIDE to make sure UNIT x STUDY that the respective students understand and are able to apply whatever it is they were trained on. Often, this Title is done in the form of a multiple-choice test. One might suggest that a better measure is for them to actually apply what they have learned. Finally, the need for reoccurring refresher training cannot be stressed enough. Just because the OSHA standard does not require refresher training, this does not mean that you should not do it. All of you can recall learning something in the past—maybe from school or maybe from a training session—and now you can no longer remember what it was that you learned. This is where the old use it or lose it saying comes into play. Through the application of refresher training, you can actually create a subculture in which the tasks that you are having your memory refreshed on become second nature. The refresher training does not have to be elaborate; it just needs to be presented to employees in such a fashion that jogs their memories so that they know what to do when the time comes. Chapter 13: Violence in the Workplace Acts of terrorism and violence in the workplace have claimed (and continue to claim) more lives than necessary. No one should be involved in working alone, and there should be an emergency call system available to everyone in the event that acts of violence occur. This is especially true for receptionists or other individuals that may be the first contact for personnel outside of the organization. There are other things that organizations can do to help reduce the potential threat of workplace violence. The use of a code word to send out a distress signal to other coworkers is also quite prominent. These words can be easily worked into a typical conversation and are known only to the employees of the organization. These words signal that something is amiss and that the other individual who hears the word should contact security or call 911. Another area for violence in the workplace is how to handle bomb threats. Your local police department can provide invaluable information on how this should be handled. Additionally, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides a sample of what a bomb threat card should look like. Just go to the website linked below to download this version of the FEMA card: http://emilms.fema.gov/is906/assets/ocso-bomb_threat_samepage-brochure.pdf Reference Goetsch, D. L. (2015).

Accidents, safety, and training annotated bibliography
Johnson, D. (2014) OSHA oil & gas conference 2014: addressing safety & health "blocking and
tackling." Industrial Safety.
The oil and gas industry is one of the industries that are prone to accidents. Many cases
would have been responsible for infernos that had tremendous impacts on the industry. Thus, it is
understandable when the stakeholders take a keen interest in the safety and well-being of the
industry players. In this article, Johnson (2014) explores the issues that arose during the OSHA
oil and gas conference of 2014. The primary attention of the conference was to explore the ways
of blocking the accidents from happening and mitigating their impacts if really occurs. Apart
from motivating the behavior of the professionals, the paper indicates that the training of the
employees is critical to the realization of a work environment in which the safety of the
employees is guaranteed. However, the paper also points out that the management of an
organization plays an important role in the determination of the safety s...
