Since the last session, you received a call from Elizabeth who stated her family was in crisis. She reported that her nephew Geoff, the 15-year-old stepson of Bob’s sister, Katie, had nearly overdosed. She said that the family had noticed some changes with Geoff since his father’s recent death, but attributed the poor mood and slipping grades to the normal effects of grief. Elizabeth said that Geoff had never used drugs, as far as anybody in the family knew, and that the overdose was “a total surprise.” Elizabeth reported that after learning of this, Bob’s mother, Linda, called the school counselor but complained to Katie that “she was not at all helpful,” and told Katie exactly how she should handle it. Katie spoke with the school counselor who told her that she was not allowed to speak with Linda due to matters of confidentiality. Elizabeth informed you that Katie had shared her frustration with the school counselor’s suggestions to help him “get his mind off the sadness,” and believed he needed more help. You learned that Bob’s father, Tim, was trying his best to help, and that Elizabeth felt his intrusion was making matters worse. Among other things, Tim had taken Geoff out of school on a week-long camping trip against Katie’s wishes. Elizabeth said that the involvement of Linda and Tim, despite their good intentions, had begun to cause widespread family strife and asked if you could possibly see the entire family. 

 

Design a system safety program plan for one of your own organization’s work systems, or for an organization with which you are familiar.

Instructions

Step 1: Select only ONE of the following two options:

Option 1: Design a system safety program plan for one of your own organization’s work systems, or for an organization with which you are familiar.  

Option 2: Design a system safety program plan for a bulk tank railcar off-loading facility for hydrocarbon products that has the following features:

  2. capacity to off-load liquid hydrocarbon products,
  3. two 500,000 gallon bulk liquid storage tanks for liquid hydrocarbon products,
  4. two diaphragm pumps with piping between the off-loading station and the bulk liquid storage tanks,
  5. one off-loading station (single-sided) that is elevated 12 feet from the ground, and
  6. one switch engine for staging railcars at the off-loading station and at railcar storage tracks. 

Step 2: Then, using the CSU APA style example paper as a formatting guide (including title page, abstract, body, and reference page) linked here, include the following: 

Design a minimum of a seven page system safety program plan with a minimum of five scholarly sources (books and articles, and at least one from the CSU Online Library) using the following level one headings:

  1. Defined Objectives
  2. System Description
  3. Hazard Identification
  4. Hazard Analysis
  5. Risk Evaluation
  6. Hazard Controls
  7. Verification of Controls
  8. Risk Acceptance
  9. Safety Control Structure Diagram (see these instructions in the paragraph below)
  10. Planned Periodic System Review 

Design a safety control structure diagram for your work system, and embed it within your system safety program plan as the content for your ninth level one heading. Use Figure 6.2 on page 193 in your textbook of an ammonia fill station as an example. Notice that the designed controls within this example structure are the level indicators, control valves, and relief valves.

 
 
 

What are two causes of hunger and two problems that result?

    3 PARAGRAPHS

 

As Hite and Seitz (2016) show in Chapter 3: Food, there is enough food produced and available to feed the entire world every day. However, for various reasons, millions still go hungry, making food security—having consistent access to adequate nutritional food—a persistent global social problem in both developing and developed countries.  

 

 

 

Where do most of the world’s hungry live?

 

What are two causes of hunger and two problems that result?

 

What are some potential consequences and benefits to using biotechnologies in developing countries? Based on the research currently available, should developing countries pursue the use of biotechnologies? Why or why not?
