4. The reason for the national policy for colour coding of cleaning equipment is to ensure that the same cleaning equipment is not used in multiple areas, therefore reducing the risk of cross-infection. Outcome 2 1. The three steps of the decontamination process are cleaning, disinfecting and sterilisation. Disinfecting is a process used to reduce the number of micro-organisms to a safe level for a defined procedure but which may not necessarily inactivate all viruses and bacterial spores.
Substitute | Use an alternative product that is less hazardous | 3. Engineer | Install appropriate exhaust ventilation that may remove fumes and only allow trained staff to do this job | 4. Administration | Have procedures about how to do the job safely and restrict access to hazardous areas | 5. Use PPE | Provide goggles, gloves, eye masks | C: Stacking shelves with products requiring repetitive lifting and bending 1. Eliminate Risk | Automate the process to remove manual handling | 2.
Work in a business environment Unit 203 - Sustainability Unit purpose and aim This unit is about being able to behave, and make contributions to work tasks and procedures, in a business environment, in ways that support diversity, security and confidentiality at work, reduction of waste and improve efficiency. Assessment Criteria 3.1 Explain the purpose of keeping waste to a minimum The purpose of keeping waste to a minumum is so the work place is efficient and clean making it become a more cost-effective and economically sound business. This leads to less paper usage, ink costs and again leading to a more enviromentally friendly organization. 3.2 Describe the main causes of waste that may occur in a business environment The main causes of waste that may occur in a business enviroment are over-printing, printing from online sources in colour, touching printed out pages (hard copies) before waiting for them to dry, spelling mistakes, printing e-mails, using new binders or box files, prinitng hard copies instead of draft documents, over-printing document amounts. 3.3 Describe ways of keeping waste to a minimum Ways to keep waste to a minimum include using both sides of paper and spell checking all documents before printing.
It reduces them to a level which is considered safe and not harmful to health however is may not necessarily destroy some viruses. Disinfection should not be used as a substitute for sterilization as it will not achieve the same reduction in microorganisms as sterilization will. Sterilization- Sterilization renders an object free from viable microorganisms, including viruses and bacterial spores. Sterilization can be achieved by steam, hot air, ethylene oxide or irradiation. Autoclaving is the most common method, it uses steam under pressure to sterilize instruments and is the most reliable method.
Charcoal vs. Clay Research Project, Section 571, Alejandra Navarro* and Alessandra Thompson * - Primary Author Abstract Two substances – charcoal and Bentonite clay- were tested to determine which item would be a better at adsorbing harmful PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) that pollute water supplies. Through careful testing, it was proven that charcoal was a better adsorbent than the clay. Both materials adsorbed the model PAH to some extent, but charcoal would be the better choice when selecting which should be used to filter the harmful pollutants out of the water. Introduction In today’s society, water pollution caused by by-products of industrial and agricultural processes is an extremely prominent problem (Schwarzenbach, Egli, Hofstetter, et. al.).
The command and control approach typically relies on detailed regulations followed by an ongoing audit and inspection program. Command and control regulations have some benefits. One example is in a situation in which the pollutant is highly toxic, yet the public concern would outweigh any economic efficiency concerns. Another example occurs when the reduction in the amount of pollutant benefits a society. An example of a disadvantage includes attempting to keep technology current with the most effective methods.
Anything outside of the mandatory site PPE will be detailed on the work permit. A clean work area is required to make your repair task easier and safer. 3. Describe the hazards associated with carrying out maintenance activities on fluid power equipment (such as handling fluids, stored energy/force, misuse of tools), and how these can be minimised There are various hazards involved with working on fluid power equipment. These include; chemical exposure or contact, pressurized lines, potential area contamination.
This is not only about management, but more sort of a way to eliminate costs, that are not essential for production process. Most businesses that manufacture their product spend most time on inspecting quality and repairing faulty products, which aims to eliminate errors from manufacturing process, in this simple method. Greatest benefit of JIT is that business reduces operating cost, and therefore has advantage over its competitors. There is also a benefit of reducing manufacturing times and shortening delivery
Environmental Values Rebecca Wallace September 25th, 2014 SCI/362SCI/362 Instructor: Gretchen Messier When it comes to the environment there are values individuals have for the ethical point of view for a better living environment. Individuals form their environmental ethics to have the knownledge of the environmental impact. There are methods used for individuals to understand the involvement of environmental issues for reconsideratio of his or her values of the environmental issues. The ethical systems are used and identify for the eenvironmental impacts of the affects on society. To continue to have a better environment it could use some knownledge of improving the environmental problems with solving them.
Cleanliness of the environment prevent spread of infection. 4. Explain the reason for the national policy for colour coding of cleaning equipment. Cleaning equipment should be colour coded and should be used in that area. Eg.
