...need to develop safety measures to limit the risk to the prison inmates as well as o the prison staff. Inmates should be proved with a secure location in which to engage in rehabilitative service and programs in order to ensure they can focus on making improvements in their life instead of worrying about their safety. Close security prisons typically are comprised of single cells and divided into cellblocks, which may be in one building or multiple buildings (NCDPS, 2012). This provides greater protection for the inmate and staff members. The cells and prison gates are controlled by guards that are in secure control station. In the closed prison the rehabilitative services should also be contained with only the inmates participating in the program as well as guards present at the program or services to ensure better safety measures. The programs and services should be closely monitored as well by guards in the secure control station. In order to ensure the safety of the inmate attending vocational programs and services inmates should only be allowed out of their cells to work or attend corrective programs to avoid inmate contact that could result in volatile situations. Another safety measure is to ensure the vocational or rehabilitative services involve small groups of inmates. Inmates provided with the services should not have a history of violence with other inmates and should not have had recent disciplinary action. Ensuring the safety of the prison guards...

...Chemical Inventory Management System David Acker Auburn University Risk management and Safety Abstract Managing chemical inventories at colleges and universities is one of today’s major challenges for higher education. This is especially true for large, diverse, research-oriented institutions like Auburn University. Knowing what chemicals are on site, their hazard potential, who is responsible for them, and where they are located is essential to maintaining a safe campus. Additionally, Federal and State regulations dealing with hazardous waste, chemical security, and emergency preparedness have become more stringent in recent years, requiring greater accountability from colleges and universities. These safety and regulatory compliance imperatives, along with issues of environmental sustainability and cost containment, drive the need for effective chemical inventory management in the university environment. In order to achieve effective chemical inventory management at Auburn University, Risk Management and Safety (RMS) has implemented a Chemical Inventory Management System (CIMS). The technological core of the CIMS is a chemical tracking database that provides realtime, discreet (to the individual container) monitoring of chemical inventories. The database has the capacity to accurately link the chemical container to hazard data, location, user, and acquisition date. Personnel, equipment, and budgetary resources were required to support the implementation phase, and ongoing...

...“What Safety Means to Me” Safety is a strong word to use. In the dictionary safety means, the state of being safe; freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury, danger, or loss. Also some synonyms for safety are freedom, security, assurance, cover, defense, and shelter. But what safety means to me is the condition of being protected from harm or other non-desirable outcomes. To me it also has a feeling of warmth, or being protected by being held closely by my parents and other family, and by just having a pet around. Who would not feel safe with a dog! Safety to me is also being free from any abuse, I am very fortunate to not have been harmed physically, emotionally, or verbally. I have a very loving and caring family...

...Organizational Organizational Culture Analysis There is no single definition of organizational culture. One of many definitions states that organizational culture is a set of values and behaviors that contribute to a unique social and psychological environment of an organization (Schein, 2010). In the past 30 years, the interest in connection between organizational culture and organizational success has increased. The link between organizational culture and its success is far from certain. Each organization has a unique social structure that drives much of the individual behavior of its members. Organizational culture is difficult to observe, measure, or sketch. It can support and/or reinforce organizational structure, it could conflict with it, and it could be of an alternative to it. This paper will analyze organizational culture of Hospital. The author will attempt to identify and provide examples of the artifacts, values, and underlying assumptions of the Hospital culture. The data for this analysis was collected through direct observation, review of internal materials published by the Human Resources (HR) Department, and reports provided by external consultants and the State of Maryland. The observations are based on direct interactions with current employees of the Hospital. Employees observed represent executives, senior level management, clinical staff, and the bottom line. HR materials used for this analysis are published on the Hospital internal website that...

In addition to helathcare facilities they also operate patient transportation services (EMS vehicles and non-emergency patient transportation) and a home medical equipment supply company.

...College Safety To further your education beyond high school most people would go to college. Most people also think that college is a relatively safe place for your learning. Colleges are actually becoming more dangerous than ever. With the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, many students, along with their parents, are calling for more security measures. But just how far should colleges go to keep campuses safe? Reports have seen more colleges implementing increased number of blue-light phones, more campus security guards, and even emergency text alerts. Some institutions are even maximizing the use of security cameras in every place they can. Is this taking a step to security, or taking a step right into the privacy of the students themselves? When trying to save the lives of thousands of students, many people promote every drastic safety measure possible. In an article written by Brett Sokolow, he states that “every college and university should rush to set up text-message-based early warning systems, install loudspeakers throughout campus, and develop mass-shooting evacuation plans,” then he goes on to even more extreme actions by stating colleges should “expel student with serious mental health conditions.” Surely, with all these security actions, colleges could implement a foundation that could bring back the safety that was once there. If you start early warning systems you can essentially eliminate the number of victims in a shooting through the use of a silent text message...
