Why be concerned about culture when it comes to safety? The answer: corporate culture influences all the important things that go on in a company. It determines how employees, suppliers, and customers are treated and work together; how well production or services are performed; how distribution is handled and how employee safety is addressed. What causes employee accidents? The most frequent answer is "carelessness of the employees." This is not surprising as committee of industrial safety

that………. “For a process in condensed system the value of [∂(∆G) / ∂T]p approaches zero asymptotically as the absolute zero is approached ” i.e. ∆G and ∆H curses meet each other slightly above absolute zero. & Run coinciding with each other up to absolute zero. This behavior is shown by full lines. The dotted line curve reveals that values of ∆G and ∆H become equal at absolute zero only. & Their

Chapter 5—Gases 5.1: Substances That Exist as Gases Air: 78% N2, 21% O2, 1% Other (such as CO2) Ionic compounds do not exist as gases at 25 degrees Celsius as well as 1 atm (due to strong electrostatic forces holding cations/anions together in an ionic solid). The stronger the attractions (intermolecular forces), the less likely the compound can exist as a gas at ordinary temperatures. The characteristics of gases include: assuming the volume/shape of their containers, most compressible

Amit Gorajia March 7, 2014 Our Diverse Biosphere Essay 2 Adapt or Perish Scientific studies show that the increase in temperature is responsible for roughly half of the total amount the sea level has risen in the past century. This raised concern for certain coastal regions that may have to endure more natural disasters such as floods and hurricanes. However, humans are not the only species that are affected by the increasing in temperature. One species that may be potentially affected greatly

variable is not numeric and values are names or categories. Example: A nominal variable for gender would be female and male. D) A ratio scale is measured by equal-interval variable. An equal-interval variable has an absolute zero point on the ratio scale. An absolute zero point means there is an absence of the variable. Example: A number of cats an individual has. If one person has three and the other has six, you can say that they have three times the amount of that person. E) A continuous

Driving a motor vehicle is a privilege. A car is as dangerous as loaded weapon. There are over 255,000,000 registered vehicles in U.S. More than 5.8 million crashes occur every year. The economic cost of crashes exceeds $230 Billion. A fatal crash can cost as much as $500,000. Each year, over 37,000 people die in car-related crashes. One in every three collisions results in injury. There are two types of bad drivers—Aggressive and Unaware. The first step to become better is to identify your

Laboratory Exercise Two Reaction Enthalpies for Acid – Base Neutralization Reactions Goals 1. To measure the amount of heat released in acid-base neutralization reactions. 2. To determine the molar enthalpy change for each acid-base neutralization reaction. 3. To validate Hess’s Law using the experimental results. Background Information Acids and bases react together to produce a salt and water as shown in the following reaction. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) This type of reaction is

“Zero-tolerance” is the policy of applying laws or penalties to even minor infringements of a code in order to reinforce its overall importance and enhance deterrence. In the reading “Zero Tolerance”, Shawn Hubler stands on the opposite side about “zero-tolerance” on campus and even in our society. “Zero-tolerance” is a blind rule that is focusing on punishment only. There is no judgment and no discretion about the offenders and the cases. “Zero-tolerance” may cause bad influence on the offenders’

Help with out school suspension Through the years, public and private schools alike find ways to innovate and improve their discipline policies. However, in some schools the inflicting of suspension upon students is abused. Although the law permits schools to suspend a student due to possession of deadly weapons in school grounds some schools suspend its students for minor violations. In California Alone more than 400000 students were suspended in one year. Even though out-of-school suspension

counteract these problems, these schools have implemented zero tolerance policies and have increased police presence in these schools. While maintaining a safe school environment is necessary for students to learn, zero tolerance policies and high police presence have resulted in situations like the case of the spilt birthday cake. This case is one of the more extreme cases that these policies have caused, but many
