Noor Findlay (Lisa) 16/01/15 Unit 645 – Lead and manage infection prevention and control within the work setting 1. Understand current infection prevention and control policies procedures and practices. 2.1 Summarise national and local policies for infection prevention and control. Following is national and local policies:- There are laws and legal regulations about infection prevention and control. Most of the legal regulations relating to infection Prevention and control come under the Health and Safety at Work Act; this act is about ensuring a safe work place for employers, Employees and members of the public by minimising accidents at work.
(http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/tmdl/glossary.cfm#section303d) Water quality research is very important to our society. This will help us protect our nations water systems, help us achieve a total maximum daily load of waste allocations on pollution. This will help sustain the ecological processes to support vegetation, fish populations, birdlife and our wetlands. (http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/standards/imp.cfm) The reason why this experiment is being done is to test my water system, and to determine the quality for life. The more we know about our water the better off we will be.
That includes the general perception of the company, the perception that customers may have, and keeping the investors aware of the situation as much as possible (ensuring investor confidence is probably the most important). Interacting with the Erehwon Reporter and prepare a release through that agency emphasizing Alumina’s EPA inspection
Enacted originally in 1948, the Act was amended many times until it was reorganized and expanded in 1972. Primary authority for the implementation and enforcement of the Clean Water Act is now the responsibility of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Under the Clean Water Act, the states have the primary responsibility for preventing, reducing, and eliminating water pollution. The states have to do this within a national framework and, EPA is empowered to move in if the states do not fulfill their responsibilities.

If these people miss the sandy beaches they should go to another beach. You cannot control where the vegetation grows. I think Congress should announce this and start funding for dams to conserve the water in these lakes. Cargo ships are wasting money by having to make more trips and this really is unfortunate but it is what is necessary at this time. It is a lot safer anyways.
It shows that the oil and gas industry has had several breakthroughs with technology, including hydraulic fracturing. These breakthroughs have found ways to make hydro fracking more environmentally friendly and cost efficient. With any technological developments, there are consequences. For example, there is the possibility of polluting the water supply with chemicals. There is the possible pollution of air as well.
The Maryland emissions board should be reactionary in making this happening, and especially hold power plants accountable if violations happen. New systems and technologies should be used or created in reducing the creation of pollutants. Even though plant owners may be reluctant in doing so due to cost and other factors, policymakers have the authority and should exercise that power by deciding what steps are needed in the improvement of the effect and role of what particle pollutant matter has brought. The community can step up in monitoring and being a watchdog, mainly because this is a direct effect of their community being affected. Air quality standards must consistently be reviewed and changed according to the statistics shown.
Hydroelectric plants may be able to reshape water flows to more closely match daily and seasonal system energy demands. Hydroelectric plants have many advantages but even though they do sound perfect they still have some disadvantages. One of the main advantages of hydroelectric plants is since no fuel is burned there is minimal pollution. Today pollution is a main argument that is harming our environment. Pollution is causing the atmosphere to decay and is helping generate global warming.
Nike's corporate social responsibility challenge Managing in the Global Environment BOKHABRINE Ayoub Monroe College Abstract After the widespread report on the workers of Nike in the plantation in 2005, Nike worked on the reports of social and environmental practices. Nike needs to consider the welfare of the workers and the profits they are earning. Nike’s future depends on the reconstructing the information that are being sent to customers, suppliers, investors, so that company is sustainable as well as profitable. Changing the rules and regulation is not only enough but they should also engage in transcending leadership and should be able to resolve systematic problems to achieve the goals of the organization. If they don’t make any changes in the financial markets, all their changes are worthless.
Project 1 Business Ethics Case Studies: The Polluter's Dilemma Westwood College Gwen Jones Busn 300 Ms. Harrison Monday, December 09, 2013 In the business ethics case study the polluter’s dilemma, the organizational groups that are involved with this case would be, Office of Wastewater Management (OWM), then she should get in contract with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to find out more ways to help her company save the lake and it inhabitants from the factory runoff. The ethical issue for this case is how to save the lake and it inhabitants from the factory runoff, also how to save the company money while inputting the new technology to save the environment. There was not any legal pressure to put the new technology in place other than there was a report from the university scientist stating, if emission levels stayed at this level, the fish in the lakes and rivers in the area might soon be declared unsafe for human consumption. The societal pressure Jonica Gunson had to face was this, according to Business Ethics Case Studies, The Polluter's Dilemma,” if the companies in the region don't engage in some self-regulation on this issue, there is reason to fear that the government may force companies to begin using the new technology, and may also begin requiring monthly emission level reports. These tests would be both expensive and time consuming”, (MacDonald, n.d.).
