In this section of the report, the authors detail the rate at which destructive fire kills, injures, and causes property loss to Americans. The report states that fire claims the lives of 12,000 people every year in the U.S., making it the second highest cause of accidental death. That isn’t the only human toll, because there are also 300,000 people who are injured by fire on an annual basis. The authors expound on the injuries by detailing the painful experiences of patients who must endure numerous plastic and reconstructive surgeries. The price of destructive fire is estimated at over $11 billion a year in the U.S. Loss of businesses leads to loss of jobs, which is a price that is beyond calculation.
I got the ADB dividing the Gross sales by the 360 days: $1,200.000 / 360 = $3,333.33 Receivables balance = $3,333.33 x 27 = $89,999.91 3. Calculate the firm’s new receivable if Milwaukee Surgical toughened up on its collection policy, with the result that all non-discount customer paid on the 30th day. 30% pay on the 10 and take discount 70% pay on the 30 ACP = (0.3 x 10 days) + (0.7 x 30 days) 3 + 21 = 24 days Receivables balance = ADB x ACP Receivables balance = $3,333.33 x 24 = $79,999.92 4. Assuming the cost to the firm to carry receivables is 8% per annum; calculate the annual savings resulting from the toughened credit policy. (Assume the entire amount of receivables had to be financed).

Manual handling factsheet Manual handling In a report carried out for the Health & Safety Executive based on self-reported work related illnesses during the years of 2001 and 2002, over 1.1 million people complained of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) being caused by a current or past work experience. This report concluded that an estimated 12.3 million working days were lost due to MSDs and that on average each sufferer took twenty days off work in any 12-month period.

Hospital Acquired Condition: Surgical Site Infection Francine Jackson HCA 375 Instructor Shultz April 1, 2013 The Institute of Medicine (IOM) in a landmark report written in 1999, “To Err is Human,” found that medical errors, particularly hospital acquired conditions (HACs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality here in the U.S. IOM have estimated that 44,000 people die each year in hospitals from what is mostly considered preventable medical errors; one being surgical site infections.

In 2006 1/3 (about 29%) of claims paid by Medicare for “durable medical equipment” was incorrect for fiscal year 2006. Medicare and private health insurance companies pay nearly $16 billion a year for unnecessary tests doctors tell their patients they need.

He looks in to the costs associated with accidents in the work place and references a US study saying in now runs in to the billions for compensation claims each year. The Savery and Lucks example looks at the association with long hours and work place accidents and discuss theories to explain why employees are more likely to fall prone to illness or injury when subjected to long working hours. Due to an increased focus on Occupational Health and safety in workplaces over the last decades, the total amount of hours worked by employees appears to have steadily fallen With this fall in working hours, reported accidents and illnesses declined. Another US study within the Steel industry referenced the number of lost workdays from illness and injury from 1988 through to 1992 was a result of fewer working hours (Robertson, 1994). So the author is suggesting we are getting smarter each year in helping identifying certain job roles that need additional resources to help ease too much over time demands.
