Fire and thermal properties of PA 66 resin treated with poly-N- aniline- phenyl phosphamide as a flame retardant
After looking at the five steps in comprehensive incendiary investigation it looks like a form of scientific method used in many other areas of fire investigation. The five steps are fire scene investigation, assessment of investigative needs, formulation and evaluation of a strategy, implementation of strategic plan and presentation of formal investigation. The five steps, like the scientific method, they have a beginning, middle and end. After I go over the five steps then I will identify the methodology in securing the interview, identify the interviews I will need and I will list some question.
OSHA regulations give full disclosure to employees about workplace hazards. Businesses that produce or import chemicals of any sort must review the dangers associated with these chemicals and have them labeled accordingly. They must also prepare material safety data sheets to go with any delivered chemicals. This will describe technical information as well as hazardous effects from exposure and the appropriate protective measures. Any employees wh...
I was a member of a hazardous material responder team, which was responsible for responding to spills of hazardous or unknown materials. This necessitated determining whether the material was hazardous, and if it was, then we were tasked with cleanup and disposal of the material in a way that was safe and in accordance to proper procedure. Procedures were driven by the organization, but had to either meet or exceed state regulations for hazardous material cleanup and disposal. This included very well-defined, strict rules and plans for collecting and disposing of hazardous material. Through social identification, individuals identify characteristics of a group as similar themselves and as enhancing their status or power (Latham, 2012). I found this to be true in my experience, and identified more readily to characteristics of the group that that were similar to myself, such as conscientiousness and attention to detail.

After carefully reviewing the Propak’s safety policy and assist program for its employees, I would definitely want to work for it. Since the complacency itself due to a lack of adherence to company requirements and OHS act is one the biggest safety concerns for the Propak, it provides practical safety training for both new employees and existing employees based on the certificate of recognition through the Partnership and Injury Reduction (PIR) group and the Alberta Construction Safety Association. Additionally, the company categorises clearly the duties of management and employees in regard to safety so that can
In his essay Occupational Hazards: Why Military Operations Succeed or Fail, David Edelstein makes the case that though there is no perfect recipe for occupation, three factors do increase the likelihood of success. These are ensuring a necessity of occupation, having a commonly perceived threat and establishing credible guarantees, factors that all lend to cooperation from the occupied population, and thus ensure a more agreeable occupation. Thus, recent successful occupations are predominantly found in the post World War II, at the start of the Cold War, era, for at this time both a necessity of occupation was present (the occupied populations maintained hope that the occupying states would help them rebuild their territories) as well as a commonly perceived threat, that being the Soviet Union. However, since the end of the Cold War and the United States’ rise to being the sole great power, successful occupations have been scarce to come by. Edelstein notes that occupying powers need to make more of an effort to...
A diesel technician is a tough job but it's an enjoyable one, if you put the right people in the shop it'll be fun, and it won't seem like you're working it'll seem like you're working on a truck with a few buddies. People think that mechanics hate their jobs but in reality they love what their job, and the people that they work with. Now a days people think that everything is handed to them on a silver platter and they don’t have to work for anything. But then you have the people who bust their knuckles every day to say that they worked for what they own and be proud to look around see what they worked for. People like diesel technician love what they do because they enjoy what their doing because their working what they
On 10 July 1943, the allied forces attacked Sicily to stop the German occupation of Europe. The allied forces carried out combined attacks utilizing paratroopers, the Navy and Army land forces to start a battle that gave the allied forces a stronghold in Europe that fed into other military operations and a training location for Soldiers landing in Normandy later in the war. The initial battle and beach landing was anything but flawless. The ocean was violent and the paratroopers were scattered off their target area by more than 20 miles (Birtle, 2003). The axis forces unsuccessfully attempted to stop the allied forces by attacking units landing on the beaches. Nevertheless, the allied forces pushed forward and landed on the beaches of Sicily. The allied forces including the 83rd Chemical Battalion, which employed the 4.2 inch HE mortar, were engaged in intense battle against the Germans and the Italian forces (Birtle, 2003). Consequently, the Success of the operation was largely due to the mobility, accuracy and lethality of the 4.2 inch HE mortar. The Chemical Mortar Units provided critical support to the infantry units. However, the 4.2 Inch mortar has not been combat proven in battle prior to this operation. The mortar is a product of the efforts of Soldiers assigned to the Chemical Warfare Service Technical Command.
Chloroform is an anesthetic that is inhaled, and was once a widely used one. However, nowadays it isn’t because of its toxic side effects. Chloroform is another name for the colorless, dense, liquid chemical compound trichloromethane. Chloroform is nearly 40 times as sweet as sugar and has a nice odor. It is inflammable and can be used for industrial purposes like R-22 (air-conditioning), a solvent, a fire extinguishing material, and as a chemical reagent for use in synthetic reactions. Its primary use now is as an organic solvent. It is an interesting topic as chloroform is often portrayed in media as a chemical that can cause a victim that inhaled it to fall asleep quite rapidly, but in reality it takes more variables for that to happen; because of its hazardousness, it’s rarely used for treatment.

Health effects are prominent in Vietnam veterans but denied by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. As reported in the American Legion Magazine, “The defoliant also is believed to have poisoned many people who handled it or passed through sprayed locations. After the war, a conspicuous percentage of veterans contracted various cancers or diabetes, and birth defects occurred at high rate among their children, VA compensation and care were denied (Carroll).” Denial of these severe diseases and unnatural occurrences by the VA could be construed as a cover-up for the government’s mistake or a truthful disconnect of Agent Orange and the diseases. Research has shown, “Dioxin has been found to be a carcinogen associated with Parkinson’s disease,
Hazardous materials can be important in everyday life when properly handled. However, when improperly handled, they can result in injury, death, and destruction as well as have lingering effects that may last for years to come. To address the risk of an uncontrolled hazardous materials release, there must be a coordinated effort to identify, locate, and quantify the hazardous materials in a particular location (Drexel University Safety & Health, 2001). Typically, industry and government agree that a hazardous materials incident is one where
Regulation compliance, employee safety, fire safety, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, hazardous waste removal, training procedures, and management relations are samples of features taken into consideration during a Safety Major’s day. Though there are numerous specializations safety professions can choose, a base knowledge in all fields is essential for a successful career. Therefore, I intend to pursue a continuation of safety certifications that will demonstrate a persistent ability to learn about my career. For the initial duration of my profession, I hope to obtain an Environmental Health and Safety specialist entry level position for an established organization. If the opportunity arises, I will promote within the same organization until
