Environmental Health and Safety Management
Be sure to read all of the instructions. There are two documents to be prepared and submitted.
1. Following steps 1-11 of the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Guide in the course textbook (pp. 171-174),
develop a risk assessment for a serious workplace hazard with which you are familiar, or use Addendum D to
Chapter 11 (pp. 202-206) to help you select a hazard. Evaluate the hazard and its associated risks, and then
complete the Hazard Analysis and Risk Analysis Project form (click here to access this form). To complete the Initial
Risk Assessment and Post Control Risk Assessment sections, use the following codes based on the Risk
Assessment Matrix in Table 11.10 (p. 180) of the textbook:
BOS 3651, Total Environmental Health and Safety Management 2
SEVERITY:
1 – Catastrophic
2 – Critical
3 – Marginal
4 – Negligible
PROBABILITY (Likelihood of Occurrence):
A – Frequent
B – Probable
C – Occasional
D – Remote
E – Improbable
RISK CODE:
H – High
S – Serious
M- Medium
L – Low
All sections of the form must be completed. Note that the “Post Control Risk Assessment Measures” section reflects
the risk assessment AFTER applying the additional control measures.
2. In a separate document of at least one page, explain the reasoning behind how you filled out each section of the form.
How would the control measures affect the assessment? You must use at least your textbook for this assignment,
and other resources may be used as needed.
Upload both the completed form and the discussion document. Be sure that the discussion document is in APA format with
a title page and a reference page and any information from a resource is properly cited in APA format.

Unit VArticle Review
In the CSU Online Library go to the ABI/Inform Collection database and perform a publication search for “professional

do this.
Select an article that deals with considering return on investment when deciding upon the implementation of hazard
controls.
Write a review of the article that includes the following items:
a brief introduction to the article,
a summary and analysis of the key points in the article,
a discussion related to the concept of return on investment considerations for advocating the implementation of
appropriate controls, and
a summary of the article’s conclusions and your own opinions.
The assignment must be in APA format and at least two pages in length, not including title and reference pages.
