APS 4000 Occupational Safety and Health sample papers, module by module

Reviewed by Edgar Pennington, MBA · Occupational Safety and Health · Thomas Edison State University · Free custom samples in 24–48h

APS-4000 prepares technology leaders to find and solve workplace safety and health problems, built on Asfahl and Rieske’s Industrial Safety and Health Management. The samples here follow one lead radiologic technologist at a composite community hospital in Monmouth County through the rules that govern imaging, the hierarchy of controls, a mass casualty plan and radiation protection to a safe patient handling report and presentation.

Send the exact assignment or rubric from your classroom and a custom sample written to it lands in 24 to 48 hours, the first one free. APS-4000 is TESU’s Occupational Safety and Health course. It covers the safety and health manager’s role and safety climate, OSHA’s general duty clause and standards, state plans and New Jersey law, the hierarchy of controls, emergency action plans and preparedness assessment, radiation dose limits and protection, and ergonomics and safe patient handling, through seven forums, seven research exercises, seven quizzes and a semester project.

What APS-4000 is really about

Asfahl and Rieske’s Industrial Safety and Health Management is the text, and the seven modules run from Safety and Health Manager and OSHA, Federal Regulations, and the Role of States through management concepts, emergencies, environmental control and protection to Human Factors and Ergonomics.

The semester project investigates a safety and health problem in the student’s own line of work in six parts, from a list of three problems in Module 1 to a final report and a presentation.

What APS-4000’s assessments ask for

Seven discussion forums, seven research exercises, seven open-resource module quizzes and the six-part semester project make up the grade.

Where students lose points in APS-4000

Marks go on problems too broad to study, standards cited loosely, training offered as the first control, limits quoted without sources and reports with no costs or measures.

The APS-4000 drawers

Module 1

APS-4000 Module 1 assignment example

Research exercise: the lead radiologic technologist at a composite community hospital imaging department in Monmouth County describes the safety and health manager's role from Asfahl and Rieske, shows how responsibility for safety in imaging is split among the hospital safety officer, the radiation safety officer and department leads, applies Zohar's safety climate research, and defines three candidate problems for the semester project: patient handling injuries, radiation exposure and workplace violence.

Module 2

APS-4000 Module 2 assignment example

Research exercise: the lead radiologic technologist at the composite Monmouth County hospital maps the rules that apply to imaging, the Occupational Safety and Health Act's general duty clause, recordkeeping and bloodborne pathogens standards, the absence of a federal ergonomics standard, New Jersey's split between federal OSHA for private employers and a state plan for public employees, and New Jersey's safe patient handling law, using Asfahl and Rieske's account of how OSHA works.

Module 3

APS-4000 Module 3 assignment example

Research exercise: the lead radiologic technologist at the composite Monmouth County hospital chooses patient handling injuries as the semester project problem, analyzes the transfer tasks behind five lost-time injuries, applies the hierarchy of controls from elimination to protective equipment as Asfahl and Rieske present it, draws on Waters's recommended lifting limit for patients and Nelson and colleagues' ergonomics program evaluation, and lists preliminary sources.

Module 4

APS-4000 Module 4 assignment example

Research exercise: the lead radiologic technologist at the composite Monmouth County hospital examines the imaging department's role in a mass casualty incident, summarizes OSHA's emergency action plan requirements and Asfahl and Rieske on preparedness, uses Adini and colleagues' assessment of hospital emergency preparedness to judge the department's readiness, and finds gaps in staff call-in, CT surge capacity and evacuation of patients from scanners.

Module 5

APS-4000 Module 5 assignment example

Research exercise: the lead radiologic technologist at the composite Monmouth County hospital investigates rising dosimeter readings for two technologists after an interventional suite opened, explains the federal occupational dose limits and the principle of keeping doses as low as reasonably achievable, uses Kim and colleagues' review of operator doses and Vano and colleagues' findings on lens injuries, and recommends ceiling-mounted shields, table skirts, lens protection, positioning and a second dosimeter.

Module 6

APS-4000 Module 6 assignment example

Final report: the lead radiologic technologist at the composite Monmouth County hospital documents five lost-time patient handling injuries in imaging, reviews Kumar and colleagues on musculoskeletal discomfort among x-ray technologists, Waters on patient lifting limits and Nelson and colleagues' program evaluation, analyzes transfers against the hierarchy of controls and New Jersey's Safe Patient Handling Act, and recommends air-assisted transfer devices, two ceiling lifts, a mobility assessment and a no-manual-lift policy with injury and cost measures.

Module 7

APS-4000 Module 7 assignment example

Presentation: twelve slides with speaker notes take the safe patient handling program to the imaging director and the hospital safety committee, from five lost-time injuries and the ergonomics of lateral transfers through Waters's lifting limit, Kumar and colleagues' findings on x-ray technologists and Nelson and colleagues' program results to equipment costs, a no-manual-lift policy and measures, ending with a request for approval.

Using a APS-4000 sample the right way

Send your APS-4000 prompt or the hazard in your workplace, and a first custom sample comes back free inside 24-48h. Follow how each hazard is measured, ruled on and controlled, then write your own.

How these samples are written

The seven APS-4000 samples follow one hospital imaging department, so the problem defined in Module 1 is chosen in Module 3, reported in Module 6 and presented in Module 7.
