As the environmental health and safety (EHS) manager, you have been asked to evaluate an existing operation to determine employee’s current exposure to hexane, which is a chemical used in painting processes.
You are to complete an evaluation of the employee’s current exposure by determining the employee’s exposure to hexane (toxic contaminant) by calculating time-weighted average (TWA) and compare it to the permissible exposure limit (PEL) and modify the PEL, if necessary. If it is necessary to modify the PEL, explain the reasoning why it is to be modified. Once the current exposure has been determined, select the appropriate ventilation system between dilution and local exhaust that is the best choice to control the concentration of the contamination. Ensure that you provide the reasons why you think your selection of ventilation system is the best choice. You are to provide the results in a three-page project report using the Unit III Consulting Report template.
Scenario
An employee working in a room measuring 15 ft x 20 ft x 15 ft sprays paint assembly parts using a paint containing hexane. The PEL for hexane is 500 ppm. The employee wears a half-face, air-purifying respirator, but management would like to install engineering control measures to reduce or eliminate the employee’s exposure to hexane. The options are to:
(1) install a dilution ventilation system, or
(2) install a local exhaust ventilation system.
The employee works a 9-hour shift and has the following exposures:
For the general dilution ventilation system to work, there must be at least 20 room air changes per hour. The fan which supplies air to this area produces 1,500 cubic feet per minute (cfm) (Q).
In order for the local exhaust ventilation system to remove the contaminant to acceptable concentrations, the capture velocity must be at least 140 feet per minute (fpm). The proposed local exhaust system ventilation system uses a 1.0 feet diameter duct and a fan that provides a total volume of 1,275 cubic feet per minute (cfm). The source of the contamination is located 1.5 feet from the opening of the duct. Determine the appropriate ventilation control and calculate the capture velocity.
Complete your project by following the Unit III Consulting Report template linked above. Ensure you show your equations and all work for determining answers for all three scenarios in the project document. You may either formulate the scenario equations using the Word equation formula toolbar or write out and solve your equations with answers on a separate paper. Then, take a screenshot of your work for each scenario using your phone or similar device and insert it as an image in the document. Make sure your image is clear and legible to read.

Interview with a TRT at a Veterans Home: Exploring Ethical Issues and Evidence-Based Education Interventions for Improved Health Outcomes The interview took place at the veterans home in Payson, UT, where Shelly, a Therapeutic
write 250 words that respond to the following
questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and
use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Conduct an interview (you must conduct the interview physically, in person) with a health care or non-health care
professional who works with the identified vulnerable population at your chosen (and faculty-approved) agency. (I chose the veterans home in Payson, UT to visit and Shelly is who I talked to).
This person may be a social worker, case manager, agency director, minister, and so on. ( Shelly is a TRT therapeutic Recreational Technician).
You will need to collect the following information during the interview and discuss it in this week’s Discussion Board:
Describe the setting and the role of the professional in the care, guidance, and assistance of the vulnerable population. Where did the interview take place? (Shelly is someone that helps to coordinate care for the patient such as care and improvement with physical, social, and emotional skills. I met her in the lobby and was able to ask questions about what the facility offers, ask about the patients, as well as see the facility itself).
Discuss 2-3 ethical issues or considerations of
managing the vulnerable population group’s care. (confidentiality is a big ethical issue, as well as boundaries of competence)
Identify 2-3 potential evidence-based related
education interventions that you could do (for the population or family) to improve the vulnerable population’s health outcomes based on your assessment and feedback from the agency.
(ketamine treatments could help the veteran community as well as exposure therapy, and yoga). here is the link for the yoga information
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7909482/
Choose 1 evidence-based related education
intervention to improve the health outcomes of this vulnerable population based on your assessment of the population, and explain why you chose it as well as how you anticipate the education intervention to improve their health.
(I have chosen ketamine treatment/therapy for my evidence based related education intervention. I chose it because I have an old co-worker that runs a ketamine clinic and it helps so many people with depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation, anxiety, etc. I believe veterans could really benefit from it and help them live a more “normal” life with having less PTSD episodes).
here is the link for ketamine treatments with veterans

How will an interprofessional collaborative approach to this educational intervention potentially improve the health outcomes of this vulnerable population? -

Finding a Work-Life Balance: The Key to Happiness in Both Personal and Professional Life
Kirstie Kunkes
5/10/24, 12:15 AM NEW
I chose to read an article based around the question of is it better to live to work or work to live. I went onto google and found the article “Work to live or live to work: How to distinguish it” Lily Miller; December 7, 2022. I agreed with her response as I believe the answer is more about how to be happy with your professional life as much as your personal. That is finding a work life balance. In the beginning of her writing, she states “Working to live refers to gathering resources that will enable you to lead a fulfilling life and function as a contributing member of society”. (Lilly Miller, December 7, 2022). I believe that we have to work hard to reach our desired level in life. when choosing a career, you want to make sure it’s something you really enjoy. So, it will not just feel like some daunting tasks. When you find what you love to do you also make sure to put boundaries up, to not overwork, miss out on life, and lose yourself in work,
So, to conclude I think it is a mixture of both and how you control balancing them in your life. -

Steps for writing the literature review paper
Determine your purpose
Work out what you need to address in the literature review. What are you being asked to do in your literature review? What are you searching the literature to discover? Check your assignment question and your criteria sheet to know what to focus on.
Do an extensive search of the literature
Find out what has been written on the topic you chose.
What kind of literature?
Select appropriate source material: Use a variety of academic or scholarly sources that are relevant, current and authoritative. An extensive review of relevant material will include — books, journal articles, reports, government documents, conference proceedings and web resources. The Library would be the best place to search for your sources. Also, the lean conference papers are available on the Internation Group of Lean ConstructionLinks to an external site. website. The Lean Journal articles are available on the Lean Construction JournalLinks to an external site. website. The conference papers and journal articles are free to access on these websites.
How many resources?
You will be required to include a minimum of 10 resources (conference papers and journal articles) in your literature review.
How to reference your sources
Keep a note of the publication title, date, authors’ names, page numbers and publishers. These details will save you time later. Use the Endnote reference software to collect, store, and organise the publications. The recommended output reference style is the APA 7th style.

Click here to learn how to create references using the APA reference style.
Read the literature
Critically read each source and look for the arguments presented rather than for facts.
Take notes as you read and start to organise your review around themes and ideas.
Consider using a table, matrix or concept map to identify how the different sources relate to each other.
Analyse the literature you have found
In order for your writing to reflect strong critical analysis, you need to evaluate the sources. For each source you are reviewing, ask yourself these questions:
What are the key terms and concepts?
How relevant is this article to my specific topic?
What are the major relationships, trends and patterns?
How has the author structured the arguments?
How authoritative and credible is this source?
What are the differences and similarities between the sources?
Are there any gaps in the literature that require further study?
Write the review
Start by writing your literature review statement. This important introductory sentence will tell your reader what the topic is and the overall perspective or argument you will be presenting.
Like essays, a literature review must have an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
Structure of a literature review
Introduction
Your introduction should give an outline of:
why you are writing a review, and why the topic is important
the scope of the review — what aspects of the topic will be discussed
the criteria used for your literature selection (e.g. type of sources used, date range)
the sections of the review.
Body paragraphs
Each body paragraph should deal with a different theme that is relevant to your topic. You will need to synthesise several of your reviewed readings into each paragraph so that there is a clear connection between the various sources. You will need to critically analyse each source for how they contribute to your research themes.
The body could include paragraphs on:
historical background
methodologies
previous studies on the topic
mainstream versus alternative viewpoints
principal questions being asked
general conclusions that are being drawn.
Conclusion
Your conclusion should give a summary of the following:
the main agreements and disagreements in the literature
any gaps or areas for further research
your overall perspective on the topic. -
