Answer:

C. The Employer

Explanation:

Under OSHA's Confined Space Standard, it is the responsibility of the "employer" to identify or evaluate the spaces whether they are "permit spaces" or "confined spaces." These spaces have serious safety hazards or health hazards. Examples: tanks, vessels, pits, underground vaults, and the like.

The employers need to disclose the information of the permit spaces and their risks to the employees. Thus, he should have a written permit of the permit space if he will be allowing the employees to enter. It is also the employer's responsibility to reduce the hazards imposed to the employees such as verifying the entry conditions that are acceptable, making sure the permit space is isolated, providing barriers, etc.

Given the circuit at the right in which the following values are used: R1 = 20 kΩ, R2 = 12 kΩ, C = 10 µ F, and ε = 25 V. You clo

Answer:

a.) I = 7.8 × 10^-4 A

b.) V(20) = 9.3 × 10^-43 V

Explanation:

Given that the

R1 = 20 kΩ,

R2 = 12 kΩ,

C = 10 µ F, and

ε = 25 V.

R1 and R2 are in series with each other.

Let us first find the equivalent resistance R

R = R1 + R2

R = 20 + 12 = 32 kΩ

At t = 0, V = 25v

From ohms law, V = IR

Make current I the subject of formula

I = V/R

I = 25/32 × 10^3

I = 7.8 × 10^-4 A

b.) The voltage across R1 after a long time can be achieved by using the formula

V(t) = Voe^- (t/RC)

V(t) = 25e^- t/20000 × 10×10^-6

V(t) = 25e^- t/0.2

After a very long time. Let assume t = 20s. Then

V(20) = 25e^- 20/0.2

V(20) = 25e^-100

V(20) = 25 × 3.72 × 10^-44

V(20) = 9.3 × 10^-43 V

If you think a hazard is serious, what is the best way to ensure that OSHA will

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The best way to ensure that OSHA will conduct a site inspection is by the submission a signed (by a current employee or employee representative) Formal Written complaints following OSHA guidelines (which can be found in the Council of Safety and Health (COSH) website) which will enable the commencement of process for an on site inspection

As such it is advisable to go through the following procedure before, filing a complaint

1) Talk to your workers union about the hazard

2) If you do not belong to a union, talk to your co-workers

3) Inform your employer who has responsibility for on the job safety

4) Speak or have a meeting with OSHA so as to receive guidance before filing a complaint
