Assignment Content
Read the background information in Section I. Your paper should address each of the subsections of Section II. Make sure you read each section completely and carefully before preparing your paper.
Section I: Background
Acme General Contractors is the general contractor for a new 20-story commercial building in downtown Centerville, USA. The building will use a rigid-frame structure and reinforced concrete construction. A major subcontractor on the project who will be performing the roofing and interior insulation and drywall installation has hired you as the safety officer.
Section II: Assignment
Analyze the hazards associated with the roofing and the interior work. You should identify at least three hazards for each activity.
Perform a quantitative risk assessment on three of the hazards that you identified for each activity (six total) using the 4 X 5 matrix shown in Figure 34-1 on p. 544 of Brauer’s (2023) textbook (needing modification) or in the quantitative risk assessment form, which can be accessed by clicking here.
Prioritize the need for controls for the hazards that you selected based on the results of the risk assessment.
Using the hierarchy of engineering controls listed in Figure 3-3 on p. 36 of Brauer’s (2023) textbook, recommend a control method for each hazard that you believe would be the most effective in reducing risk to an acceptable level. Explain why you made the choice and support your decisions with at least one scholarly referenced source other than the textbook.
Use the 4 X 5 matrix or the quantitative risk assessment form to show the reduction in risk for each hazard after the control method has been applied.
For any fall protection that you recommend, be specific about the type of fall protection needed.
Discuss how Prevention through Design (PtD) could be used to reduce the risks associated with these operations.
Prepare your project in a properly formatted APA 7th document (CSU Citation Guide p. 19) including a title page, the body of the paper with level 1 headings for each section (CSU Citation Guide p. 14), and a references page. The body of your paper must be a minimum of four pages in length and be double-spaced; the title page and references page will not count toward meeting the four-page minimum requirement. You must use your textbook and at least one other scholarly source outside of the textbook as references.
Be sure to properly cite (CSU Citation Guide p. 6) and reference (CSU Citation Guide pp. 9-11) all sources and use APA 7th format (CSU Citation Guide p. 19). Read the Unit 7 Study Guide and required reading assignment, then review all previous grading feedback and the Writing Style Instructions announcement before drafting your work.
