DQ: Safety and health management program
Speak about the standard “general duty clause 5(a)(1).” Then, develop a paper that addresses the following elements:
Discuss the purpose of the standard, who is affected, and who is excluded.
What are the key elements of the standard?
Select and summarize a letter of interpretation for the selected standard.
List some commonly cited provisions of the standard.
Explain ways the selected standard can fit into a safety and health management program.
Then, create a fictional workplace scenario and apply the standard. Be creative. Describe a situation in a workplace and then explain how the standard relates to it and why the standard is important in the situation.
Your essay must include an introduction, and it must flow smoothly from topic to topic. It must be at least four to six pages in length, using at least one reference. All sources must be cited in the text and on the reference page, using APA Style.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
