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?

Answer:

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

tangare [24]

Answer:

The sound travels differently in different medium according the density of the medium.

Explanation:

The sound travels faster in dense medium and can be heard by the vibration of the bone present in the ear. The ear plugs reduce the sound intensity in both medium water and on land (air).

In air the sound is not heard properly due to the earplugs that stops the as the vibration are not able to produce as sound is not able to reach to middle ear, but Navy researchers have discovered that sound under water is heard by the bone present behind the ear, vibrations mastoid.

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.

Humans can typically perceive frequencies that range from 20 Hz–20 kHz. Dogs can hear sounds up to 45 kHz. Dog whistles produce
Aleksandr [31]
Pitch is directly related to the frequency of the sound. In this item, we are given that the frequency of the sound is higher compared to those which are audible to the human being's ears. The pitch therefore of the dog's whistle is high. 

On the other hand, the frequency and the wavelength of a certain wave are inversely proportional. This means that the high frequency wave will have a short wavelength. 

Hence, the answer to this item would have to be "high pitch with a short wavelength" 

The answer to this item is the second option.
