Executive Summary
This is a comprehensive report that is made up of various scenarios throughout each unit. The units covered in the report are 2 up to 8. Each unit has an area of analysis. Unit 2 focuses on hazard evaluation, while unit 3 emphasizes a project on radiation safety. Unit 4 exploits noise analysis while unit 5 analyzes exposure to safety compromise. The report also covers inputs on unit 6 hydrostatics and hydraulics, unit 7 Fire prevention, protection and inspection, and unit 8 ergonomics. Each case is accompanied by calculations that lead to specific recommendations for individual cases.

Unit 2 Hazard Evaluation Report
The study was conducted to obtain a hazard evaluation report for different parts of the company where employees were exposed to welding fumes and other hazardous substances. The assessment will serve as a prompt for reviewing major safety procedures and processes. The case involved Acme Manufacturing’s welding room that houses six welding booths. TWA (time-weighted average) exposure is the average concentration of substances during an ordinary eight- to ten-hour workday.
According to OSHA’s asbestos requirements and standards for air sampling to evaluate exposures against the PRLs, sampling time ought to be as close to the possible work shift, not exceeding 8 hours. Also, a minimum of six hours of sampling is required for the samples to be valid. Using the formula E = (Ca Ta+Cb Tb+. . .Cn Tn)÷8 to determine the exposure for 8 hours in the 6 booths, it was established that the actual exposure for iron oxide in booth 3, 4, and 6 ranged from 1.37 to 10.06. The value of E should not exceed 10 mg/m3.
It was recommended that installing a fully enclosed system in the foundry room can help draw airborne contaminants away from the workers instead of through their breathing zone. Additionally, the company should maintain the existing ventilation systems and keep ensuring that they are functioning efficiently. It is also important to make sure that the ventilation booths and ventilation systems are working when welding operations are running.
Unit 3 Radiation Safety Report
The report focused on the need by Acme Manufacturing to evaluate employee exposure to radiation. To do that, there is an emphasis on test equipment, repair facility, radar testing facility and consider laser safety control measures in the laser laboratory. In the test equipment and repair facility, they focused on the intensity at the proposed distance using the formula I2= I1 (d12/d22). The results were the proposed recommendations for all the ...
