Too Many Laws
Helmet laws and medicine safety caps could follow the adage “good intentions, bad results” because people make certain assumptions about safety when they see someone wearing a helmet. They think, as John Stossel (2009) shows in the video, that a cyclist wearing a helmet knows what he is doing. Drivers think they do not have to be as mindful of the cyclist, if he has on all the cycling gear: clearly, he is experienced. These kind of assumptions are wrong and dangerous. Requiring people to wear helmets when they cycle or assuming that medicine is safely stored in a bottle with a safety cap can lead to bad results in this manner.
The potential unintended consequences of installing a traffic signal at an intersection in a school zone are numerous: (a) it could irritate drivers who are used to a regular flow of traffic at that intersection, and the light could hinder that flow and cause back-ups on the road, making drivers have to re-route or deal with congestion; (b) drivers who are irritated by the signal could be more likely to try to beat the light and push through the intersection at even higher speeds, often running yellow or even red lights at dangerously high velocity; (c) child waiting to cross the intersection may be at a greater risk of being struck because drivers are trying to outpace the traffic signal. For these reasons, I would make the case that the traffic signal in the school zone is not a good idea. Instead, there should simply be a crossing guard on duty during the hour when school is letting out to assist the children in crossing the street. Drivers would be aware that at that hour they are likely to be stopped by the crossing guard, but they are more likely to be okay with this hindrance to the flow of traffic at this time because it is not all day long and the reason is obvious.

Some of these problems can cause dissatisfaction among coworkers. Because substance abuse is a problem affecting all persons regardless of gender, class, age, or race, employees and supervisors must learn how to recognize some of the signs of possible problems. Changes in employee behavior, moodiness, social problems, and poor performance can all indicate that a substance abuse problem is present. Because of the significant safety hazards that can occur
Safety of Laser Eye Surgery Prior to the advent of laser technology, ophthalmologists relied purely on mechanical means of surgically correcting myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (far sightedness), and astigmatism. Automated Lamellar Keratectomy is a procedure through which an automatic apparatus called a microkeratome slices an extremely thin layer of tissue from the surface of the cornea in order to alter the refractive index of the ocular lens. In the case of nearsightedness, the
When compared to oil Uranium is more easily accessible and there is less likelihood of any political interferences because of the locations it is mined. Nuclear power plants require far less space as compared to hydropower plants. This allows them to be placed in developed areas which in turn reduce the distance that electricity needs to be transported. Over short periods of time, the amount of electricity produced is very large
Safety Man Labor Safety as an Economic Principle Describe the safety conditions that existed before the company was sold to the new owner: The 'Safety Man' who provides us with the firsthand perspective offered in the present article describes the roofing company that employs him prior to a change in ownership. Here, he describes a somewhat large-scale organization but one which was missing significant opportunities for profitability. According to Mundy (2003), his roofing
The company was involved in other scandals that threatened the safety of its employees. The Herald sun in Australia reported an incident that took place in Werribee. At a KFC restaurant, a drunken customer entered the premises and assaulted one of the workers. In addition to this, the violent customer verbally abused other workers (UNITE, 2008). The standard procedure in such cases is to close the restaurant and allow the staff
