A carpenter apprentice was killed when he was struck in the head by a nail that was fired from a powder actuated tool. The tool operator, while attempting to anchor a plywood form in preparation for pouring a concrete wall, fired the gun, causing the nail to pass through the hollow wall. The nail traveled some twenty-seven feet before striking the victim. The tool operator had never received training in the proper use of the tool, and none of the employees in the area were wearing personal protective equipment. What should be recommended to prevent this accident from happening again?

Explanation:

The recommendations that need to be urgently addressed by the workshop and it's employees are

1) Training of all employees (particularly the tool operators) on the safe and proper use of all tools used in the course of the carpentry work.

2) Training of all employees in health, safety and environment (HSE). This training will help them appreciate the importance of always wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when at the workshop or during the course of a work (because if the apprentice was putting on an engineer's helmet, he could have been safe).

3) Employees who fail to adhere strictly to the use of PPE should be sanctioned or even dismissed from the workplace

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
