Health and Safety Guidelines
There are several elements to health and safety guidelines that must be adhered to. The presence of equipment, hot water, and chemicals all represent safety hazards to the workers. Furthermore, to the extent that the operation carries cash, and may be at risk for robbery, there are other safety considerations that need to be taken into account. There will be electrical equipment in this environment, a risk given that water will be everywhere on site and its spray uncontrolled. A further risk is that customers will be operating the car wash, meaning that employees do not have full control over the equipment. OSHA has published a list of the common citations specific to the car wash industry, including fall protection, hazard communication, scaffolding, respiratory protection, control of hazardous energy, machines, wiring and more (Lawless, 2012).
A lot of health and safety guidelines can be resolved through the design of the facility. The design will minimize the use of height, thereby reducing the risks associated with scaffolding, ladders, etc. Each car wash station will have an elevated platform adjacent, with serrated metal grate stairs to prevent slippage. This platform...
All electrics will be fully water-proofed. Other design features will be built following OSHA guidelines. Chemicals used will be approved by OSHA for use in carwashes, to minimize respiratory risk. The site will not have conveyors, which form one of the major risk hazards for a conventional car wash (OSHA, 2009). All moving parts will have guards on them, to minimize the risk of hoses, hair, limbs or clothing become caught. Two employees will be needed at all times, so that if something does happen to one, the other can call for help, stop equipment or otherwise limit the risk. Further, two employees minimizes the risk of robbery.
The other health and safety guideline is that training can mitigate risk to the employees. The senior manager will be tasked with training as a critical job function. A training program will be developed, to highlight the safety risks for staff, and to provide them with information as to how to mitigate risk.. Important items to discuss include electrical hazards, chemicals, and hazards associated with the use of equipment. A health and safety auditor -- known as an industrial hygiene specialist - will be hired to…

In the case considered, there are two possibilities for the award of the contract: The first is that there may have been no companies on the applicant list that met the minority standards. The second is that non-minority companies far outweighed their minority counterparts in the level of service that would be provided. In the first case, the deontological viewpoint would not have been applicable, as there were no companies
Policies Human Resources Management is basically something that encompasses various activities in an office environment, some of them being: what sort of employees does a company need, what are the best methods to recruit as well as train these personnel, making sure that the performance levels of these people is at its optimum best, and also making sure that the rules regarding management issues are followed to the letter by the
If police, along with others in society, perceive high risk sex offenders as humans who possess the potential to be rehabilitated, then incidences of possible discrimination against these individuals might decrease. This in turn, the researcher contends, could contribute to incidences of sexual offences being prevented and/or reduced. Even though the researcher never generally cared about how high risk sex offenders felt, the conviction that discrimination is wrong over-rode
Discrimination involves classifying people into different groups and giving the members of each group distinct and typically unequal treatments and rights (Wikipedia, 2003). The criteria defining the groups determine the type of discrimination. Use of the term implies that the factors on which the discrimination is based are intrinsically irrelevant to the decision being made. Typically, the discriminator views himself as superior to the injured group. The effects of discrimination
