INTERPRETING THE REAL LIFE STORY: Karen’s Experience

I always disliked how my skin would get pale in the winter because I know I looked better with a tan. During the summer, my friends and I would lie out by the pool in our bathing suits. We wouldn’t even mind if we got a little sunburned, because we would just say “the burn will turn into a tan!” Before our senior prom, we all went to the tanning salon and used the tanning beds. I never thought anything of it, because that was what everyone was doing. But then my older sister was diagnosed with melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. She was only in her early thirties. It turns out that the repeated sunburns she had gotten in the past, and the fact that she spent a lot of time hiking and doing other outdoor activities without ever using sunscreen, had caught up to her. She had to have surgery and go through six months of treatments that made her feel like she had the flu and caused a lot of her hair to fall out. It was a really scary time for our entire family: We didn’t know if she would live. Thankfully, my sister recovered. Now, everyone in our family tries to spread the word about sun safety and reducing the risk of skin cancer. My friends now call me the “sunblock police,” because I am always reminding everyone to use sunscreen when we are out in the sun for an extended period of time. People may think that a tan looks good, but in the end it is just not worth the risk of getting cancer.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. What would you say to a friend that has a habit of “tanning”—spending extended amounts of time in the sun without sunscreen? What about a friend who is using tanning beds because he or she thinks they are healthier than being in the sun?

2. How many hours per week do you spend in the sun? Are you in the habit of using sunscreen when you are in the sun for extended periods?

3. Do you understand how to get daily safe sun exposure to facilitate the production of Vitamin D without putting yourself at risk for skin cancer?

NO PLAGIARISM!!! NO PLAGIARISM!!!

(a) Discuss the strategically important reasons for adopting Supply Chain Management? (b) SCM is not without problems. Adopting SCM often involves risks and negative consequences. Other than the Bullwhip effect, what are the potential negative aspects (e.g., drawbacks, risks, any other undesirable consequences) of Supply Chain Management? You may utilize current real world examples (e.g., Coronavirus Pandemic) in making your arguments.

Congratulations! You have just become the safety manager for Podunk University. Your position is at the campus in Podunk, Colorado, and your predecessor left the job a year and a half ago. There has been nobody in the position during that interval. The commitment of the institution to safety is dubious at best, but, well, you needed a job, so here you are.

After introducing yourself to the secretary who also supports a half dozen more senior people, you decide to focus on hazardous material and hazardous waste issues since you just completed a great college course on those topics. You tour the campus and discover that the following departments and programs are your responsibility:      

  • the biology department, which has animal dissection, human dissection, a microbiology lab, and a medical laboratory education program that uses small quantities of chemicals; ·
  • the chemistry department, which has uninventoried chemicals dating back to who knows when and a new forensics program;      
  • the physics department, which has high-voltage equipment, lasers, and LEDs;     
  • the English department, which has a lot of books, papers, and photocopiers;      
  • the math department, which has a lot of computers and whiteboards;     
  • the automotive technology department, which has everything pertaining to auto repair including solvents, asbestos brake linings, pneumatic tools, waste oil, and cutting and grinding tools; and               
  • the Massive Arena, one of the original buildings on campus, which has a variety of interesting problems, including asbestos insulation and a major ongoing renovation.

With the thought of developing a plan to ensure workplace compliance with hazard material management standards and recommending actions needed to implement an effective workplace hazardous materials management program, respond to each of the questions below.

  1. Where do you start?      
  2. Where should you focus your initial HazCom efforts? In what order do you tackle the rest of the departments?      
  3. What are the HazCom issues in the automotive technology department?     
  4. What are the hazardous waste issues in the automotive technology department?       
  5. What are the HazCom issues in the chemistry department?      
  6. What are the hazardous waste issues in the chemistry department?     
  7. With the Massive Arena renovation, who are the people to whom you need to communicate hazards?      
  8. What are your main concerns with the physics department?      
  9. What are the hazardous material/waste spill response issues for the university, and how should you prepare for them?      
  10. Is any HazCom training needed for the English and math departments?      
  11. What are some resources for finding out how to solve the HazCom issues?      
  12. You must choose technology or trainers to do the needed training. What are some issues to consider when selecting these?     
  13. Due to budget cuts, it turns out that you have to do the training yourself by using PowerPoint. What are some considerations when developing your PowerPoint presentation?
  14. How can you evaluate your training to ensure that it is accomplishing your goals?      
  15. One of the chemistry professors working with some of the automotive technology faculty members invents a new nonflammable compound that will render obsolete the need for solvents to degrease auto parts. She wants to market the stuff. What needs to be done before it can be marketed, and who should do it?      
  16. The university decides to partner with the chemistry professor and market this new compound. Due to the lack of flammability, it is a great hit nationwide. They then decide to market it worldwide. What concerns need to be addressed?      
  17. It turns out that this wonderful new compound, when used in conjunction with another chemical, makes a really great explosion. As the university is manufacturing the stuff in large quantities and storing it on the grounds, what concerns do you now have? What experts should you consult?      
  18. The biology department has been busy, too. The little microbiology lab is big now, and they are working with stronger pathogens. How would you determine the new hazard communication requirements and things that you should do beyond that minimum?

After a tough 5 years, you have the Podunk University campus running smoothly, everybody is trained, and your successor will not have nearly as much of a challenge as you did. Congratulations, and best wishes on your next challenge!

Your submission must be a minimum of five pages in length, be double-spaced, and be in compliance with APA style. Support your answers to the questions with appropriate in-text citations, corresponding references, and a thorough analysis with strong arguments. You must use at least two references, one of which may be the textbook. The title and reference pages do not count toward meeting the minimum page length requirement.
