For this assignment, I had researched various types of structures that would provide strength, cushion, and lightweight materials to build it. I used wooden dowels since they are lightweight and durable. Styrofoam balls for each vertice so that they can reduce the impact. The elastic bands on each side of the pyramid allowed for a safety net that allowed the large styrofoam ball to bounce around. Moreover, I made a hole in the large styrofoam ball which ensured its safety. Most designs had a similar

Case Scenario Unit VI Deidre Jones Columbia Southern University Case Scenario Unit VI How I would proceed is to first evaluate the scene of the incident, and detect the presence of the hazardous materials and quantity. Next I would isolate the area that the spill has occurred. By isolating the area were the spill has occurred this would keep employees out of harms way. Alert all the personnel and other workers that are working in the plant and evacuate them to a safer location

50% of the weight during shipping from the brewer to the distributor and then to retailers (Dornbusch, 2010). Studies have shown that the aluminum can beats out the glass bottle when it comes to life cycle analysis of the materials including the recycling and reuse of each material. Aluminum cans, when recycled, use 95% less energy and produce 95% less carbon emissions than the glass bottle, which uses a mere 2-3% less energy when recycled (EPA, 2012). Another important fact is that while consumers
