  Instructions
  
  The industrial plant where you work is expanding its operations and building
  a facility that will employ 200 new workers. Management has tasked you with
  creating a training program for the new workers. They want you to investigate a
  specific hazard or safety topic and create a PowerPoint presentation
  explaining the hazard/topic and how you will handle training the employees.
  Choose one of the following hazards/topics and prepare a PowerPoint
  presentation for management:
  
  hearing protection;
  
  the use of half-mask air purifying respirators (APRs);
  
  lock-out/tag-out of a hydraulic press; or
  
  HazCom for a location that just uses acetone, toluene, and isopropyl
  alcohol.
  
  As part of this scenario, you are free to include additional details about
  the hazard/topic you choose. For instance, if you choose hearing protection,
  you can include information about the manufacturing equipment and the decibel
  levels in the area. Include the following components in your PowerPoint
  presentation.
  
  Evaluate the hazard, and discuss any regulations pertaining to the
  hazard/environment.
  
  Explain any additional hazard abatement strategies and safety and health
  management strategies that were taken to mitigate the effects of the
  hazard (e.g., substitution, engineering controls).
  
  Prepare a brief description of steps you will take to involve the students
  in the training.
  
  Discuss if you will use any hands-on training and how you will perform the
  hands-on training if you use it.
  Create two slides that you will
  use in your actual training program with employees. Explain these to
  management to convince them that the training is beneficial.
  
  Discuss how managers will play a role in the effectiveness of training and
  how leadership is necessary to help get employee buy-in for the
  training.
  
  Discuss how you will evaluate the effectiveness of the training.
  
  Use the speaker notes section to explain the material that you present on
  each of the slides.Your PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides, not counting
  the title and reference slides. You are required to use at least two outside
  sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. All sources used,
