Each question should be answered using a minimum of 250 words.

Any resources, including your textbook, that are utilized to answer the questions should be cited and referenced using APA formatting. A template has been provided here for you to use to answer the questions. Enter your answers into the template, and upload the template into the assignment area within Blackboard. The questions you will be answering are shown below (and in the template).The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) currently has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for noise of 90dBA at an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) exposure with an action level of 50% of that exposure. OSHA uses a 5 dBexchange rate (doubling rate); this means that if the exposure increases from 90 dBA to 95 dBA, the allowed exposure time decreases to one-half—from 8 hours to 4 hours.The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Conference of Governmental Industria lHygienists (ACGIH) recommend using an exposure limit of 85 dBA instead of 90 dBA and also recommend using a 3 dBexchange rate. These levels are much more protective than the levels currently used by OSHA.Discuss the merits of each of the two methods. Provide your opinion as to which of the approaches you believe should be used. Support your answer with at least one professional/scholarly reference. OSHA does not currently have a regulation specifically covering ergonomic issues. OSHA has issued several guidelines for some specific industries. Consider a workplace you are familiar with where there is a potential for repetitive motion injuries. Discuss what methods you would use to identify tasks that would present the greatest risk for repetitive motion injuries. How would you establish an ergonomics program to address the issues?

Imagine that you are an industrial hygienist or a safety officer, and you have been asked to create a safety data sheet (SDS)
for the employees within the manufacturing facility where you work. However, in this assignment, you will not actually create
the SDS. You will just be collecting and studying specific data about the toxicity of certain chemicals that could be used to
create it. Assume that the following chemicals/compounds are released during the manufacturing process:
benzene,
vinyl chloride,
asbestos,
ammonia, and
hydrogen chloride.
Choose one of these chemicals, and review the toxicology data for it.
Create at least a two-page essay which outlines the following information about the chemical:
How can the route of exposure affect the toxicity of the chosen chemical/compound?
How are the mechanisms of action and modes of action established surrounding how to deal with exposure to the
chemical/compound?
What are the effects that the chemical/compound chosen can have on the human body from the initial exposure to
elimination?
Your essay should also discuss how the Bradford Hill criteria for causation is used to determine the strength of the
toxicology data you reviewed. The essay should be at least two pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages)
and should utilize proper APA citations and references.

For the following research paper assignment, you have been asked to perform an evaluation of employee exposures at a
small automobile parts manufacturing facility. The manufacturing processes include two metal presses, two machining
stations, three welding stations, a small paint booth, and a shipping/receiving area. There are two employees working at
each press, one person working at each machining station, one person working at each welding station, two people working
in the paint booth, and four employees working in the shipping/receiving area.
One of the presses is a 2,000-ton press, and the other press is a 200-ton press. The 2,000-ton press is the greatest noise
source for the facility. The machining area uses a metal working fluid. The safety data sheet (SDS) for the metal working
fluid is attached here. All welding is performed on stainless steel. The painting booth uses a powder coating operation, but
the employees use xylene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) to clean the parts prior to the powder coating operation. At the end
of the shift, one of the employees uses 1,3 butadiene to clean the nozzles for the paint booth. The facility uses two electric
forklifts to move materials between the production area and the storage warehouse and between the warehouse and the
shipping area. All employees work an 8-hour shift.
Part 1:
Using the information on anticipation and control we studied in the textbook, identify the hazards that are present in the
facility. In your discussion, explain why you chose the hazards, and describe whether you believe the hazards to be actual
hazards or potential hazards (which require further evaluation). Describe the specific location(s) at the facility where the
hazards are located, and determine how many employees are potentially at risk in those areas.
Your response for Part 1 should be at least one page in length.
Part 2:
Using the information on evaluation that we studied in the textbook, summarize how you would measure the personal
exposures to the hazards that you identified in Part 1. Use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
website (https://www.osha.gov/dts/sltc/methods/toc.html) or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) website (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2003-154/default.html) to select the specific sampling and analytical
method that would work best to evaluate any chemical hazards you identified. Provide a summary of the sampling media
you would use, include the sampling flow rate, discuss how long you would sample, and explain how you would calibrate the
sampling train. Include a discussion about why you selected the specific sampling and analytical method.
Your response to Part 2 should be at least one page in length.
Part 3:
Access the attached sampling results here. For each set of results, perform the following actions:
Calculate the 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) exposure.
Compare the results to the appropriate OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL).
Determine which results exceed an established OSHA PEL.
Write a one-page summary of the sampling results; document the exposures that exceeded an OSHA PEL, and identify
those areas that you believe will require the application of controls to reduce risk. Include your calculations, include a list of
the OSHA PELs you compared the results to, and explain how you decided that an exposure exceeded an OSHA PEL.
Part 4:
Using OSHA’s hierarchy of controls, recommend the control methods that you believe would be the most effective for
reducing the risks associated with the exposures that exceeded the OSHA PEL above. Explain how you would implement
the controls and how you would evaluate the effectiveness of the controls. Also, discuss any interim control methods you
would recommend for the facility.
This section should be at least one page in length.
Include a reference page and in-text citations for all sources you used in this project, including your textbook, using proper
APA format.
Information about accessing the grading rubric for this assignment is provided below. APA Guidelines
The application of the APA writing style shall be practical, functional, and appropriate to each academic level, with the
primary purpose being the documentation (citation) of sources. CSU requires that students use APA style for certain papers
and projects. Students should always carefully read and follow assignment directions and review the associated grading
rubric when available. Students can find CSU’s Citation Guide by clicking here. This document includes examples and
sample papers and provides information on how to contact the CSU Success Center. Grading Rubrics
MOS 6301, Advanced Industrial Hygiene 4 This course utilizes analytic grading rubrics as tools for your professor in assigning grades for all learning activities. Each
rubric serves as a guide that communicates the expectations of the learning activity and describes the criteria for each level
of achievement. In addition, a rubric is a reference tool that lists evaluation criteria and can help you organize your efforts to
meet the requirements of that learning activity. It is imperative for you to familiarize yourself with these rubrics because
these are the primary tools your professor uses for assessing learning activities.
Rubric categories include: (1) Discussion Board, (2) Assessment (Written Response), and (3) Assignment. However, it is
possible that not all of the listed rubric types will be used in a single course (e.g., some courses may not have
Assessments).
The Discussion Board rubric can be found within Unit I’s Discussion Board submission instructions.
The Assessment (Written Response) rubric can be found embedded in a link within the directions for each Unit
Assessment. However, these rubrics will only be used when written-response questions appear within the Assessment.
Each Assignment type (e.g., article critique, case study, research paper) will have its own rubric. The Assignment rubrics
are built into Blackboard, allowing students to review them prior to beginning the Assignment and again once the
Assignment has been scored. This rubric can be accessed via the Assignment link located within the unit where it is to be
submitted. Students may also access the rubric through the course menu by selecting “Tools” and then “My Grades.” Again, it is vitally important for you to become familiar with these rubrics because their application to your
Discussion Boards, Assessments, and Assignments is the method by which your instructor assigns all grades. Communication Forums
These are non-graded discussion forums that allow you to communicate with your professor and other students.
Participation in these discussion forums is encouraged, but not required. You can access these forums with the buttons in
the Course Menu. Ask the Professor
This communication forum provides you with an opportunity to ask your professor general or course content questions.
Questions may focus on Blackboard locations of online course components, textbook or course content elaboration,
additional guidance on assessment requirements, or general advice from other students.
Questions that are specific in nature, such as inquiries regarding assessment/assignment grades or personal
accommodation requests, are NOT to be posted on this forum. If you have questions, comments, or concerns of a nonpublic nature, please feel free to e-mail your professor. Responses to your post will be addressed or e-mailed by the
professor within 48 hours.
Before posting, please ensure that you have read all relevant course documentation, including the syllabus,
assessment/assignment instructions, faculty feedback, and other important information. Student Break Room
This communication forum allows for casual conversation with your classmates. Communication on this forum should
always maintain a standard of appropriateness and respect for your fellow classmates. This forum should NOT be used to
share assessment answers. Schedule/Grading
The following pages contain a printable Course Schedule to assist you through this course. By following this schedule, you
