...by Kenxxxx x xxxx xx This report is to bring forth the incident at Boeing Simulator Operations on May 18th, 2008. It is a work related accident and in reviewing the key points that I hope to bring out with this report, it will show that it should not have happened and could have been prevented; as a result of this accident my future has been altered and very uncertain with permanent injuries and a forced changed way of life. First I’ll explain the events leading up to the accident, how the accident happened, the aftermath of the accident, and then how it should have been prevented, as well as, pointing out major flaws in the operation and procedures happening at Boeing Simulator Operations. I was just hired on to Boeing As a Simulator Device Technician Level III on April 25th, 2008 after being away from Simulators for about 2½ years and writing Technical manuals on simulator operation and maintenance for 5½ years before that; See Figure 1 for picture of a Simulator. We were on the second week of doing overtime on the weekends to do hydraulic oil flushing on 2 different simulators that are considered extremely old and the flushing was years overdue; when finishing up on the second simulator (the 757, oldest), all of the hydraulic pumps had been turned ‘ON’ to circulate the oil through the system and after a little while, a pretty bad leak was noticed on one of the Control Loading servo actuator/valve components. The Control Loading system hydraulic oil pump pressure was...

...Active Shooter Response 64 individuals killed by active shooters in all of the most horrific recent tragedies. In the years leading up to the Columbine shootings there were little to no training for the response forces to combat active shooter scenarios. Now that the nation has had more tragedies such as the theater shooting in Colorado, the New Haven, Connecticut massacre and most specifically is the shooting by an active duty US Army Major in Fort Hood, Texas. An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people, most often in populated areas. As these events in human history happen, leaders find a way to try and make life safer for the population. Although tragic in nature the shootings in columbine taught law enforcement that they had no plan of attack for active shooter scenarios. When the unfortunate events at Fort Hood took place, the military population specifically the Military Police had no idea how to respond (McCloskey, 2009). Now since the Fort Hood shooting there have been two more high profile cases where active shooter has taken lives in the civilian world. These most recent events the first, a shooting in a crowded theater in Colorado and the most tragic of all the shootings where 20 young elementary school students lost their lives at an elementary school in New Haven, Connecticut (Tuccitto & Sullo, 2012). Now that these events happened although tragic military leaders decided it was important to put together...

...become a major problem that affects all races, sex, demographics and all age groups. You can hardly turn on the television or listen to the radio without hearing a call to action to decrease the obesity rate in America. Obesity is influenced by many factors and habits; one of the factors often overlooked is technology. To begin with, due to advancement of technology our home and work environment have become so inactive to the point that we don’t move enough to burn calories for the body to burn excess fat. Additionally, technology enables us to gain excess body weight by allowing us to produce vast amount of food at a faster rate, by giving us easy access to a massive amount of entertainment right from the comfort of our sofas. And lastly, technology has contributed to the obesity problem in America by removing most of the manual and physical labors that we used to perform ourselves. We may not all agree on the main cause of obesity; countless hours of television, video games, fast food consumption and reduce physical activities can all be associated to the progression of technology. Technology has helped this world in so many ways that it is impossible to cover it all but when it comes to people being overweight technology create a major problem. Because of technological progression, there has been a revolution in the mass preparation of food that is roughly comparable to the mass production revolution in manufactured goods that happened a century ago. Technological innovations...

...work and screenings were complete. Checking to make sure that all the supplies needed were available and that the conference room wasn’t booked for the same time that he needed. What problems appear in this Case: In this particular case, there are multiple problems. First, there is the fact that Carl took on a big task without much experience under him. He didn’t plan ahead in case something happened. He scheduled orientation without making sure everything was ready to have an orientation. None of the applicants can go to a new hire orientation without completing the application process or a drug screen. He didn’t even make sure the training room was available be reserving it. Carl didn’t check to see if he needed to order new manuals. He assumed that the company had enough on hand. When he checked there was only 3 and each of them had numerous pages missing. Solution to problem: With Carl being unexperienced in hiring new employees, he should have asked for help from the start. If he would have asked for help, he most likely would have received it and it would not have been stressful. In reality though, he did not ask for help. Carl should have planned ahead by making a list of things that needed to get done by what was most important first. One of the first things that Carl should do is find a lab that is open and that can accommodate all the new hires to get their drug screens done. Then he needs to call all the new hires and explain to them that they must get their...

...Both the Han Dynasty of China and the Roman Empire of Italy were huge territories, with Rome being over 1 million square miles, that were greatly advanced in many fields. They had armies that conquered many lands, they had governments which appeased and governed large masses of people. However, what may be most interesting is their development of technology. In the first and second centuries, both the great empires of Rome in Italy and the Han in China had technology to accommodate their numerous populations but both of their attitudes towards technology were different as they viewed and utilized manual labor differently. Their different attitudes led to different developments in their technology, but both eventually saw a decline toward the...

...it does not present risks to employees and others.” Impact on job role: A construction lecturer is responsible for the welfare of their students and others around that come into the construction site. Walkways must be clear, objects must not be obstructing the entrance. Lecturers should pull students up on the rules such as always having an ID badge and making sure bags are not in the way. Tutors are responsible for telling students what is waste and make students aware of cleaning facilities. Implications if the regulations are not followed effectively: Students and staff might be harmed. They could slip, trip or fall over. Waste material left out unnecessarily could become an obstruction. It is essential for students and staff to clean up after working in construction so they are not irritated and do not risk others; such as if they handle certain chemicals they must wash themselves off.
