   Below you will find some suggested sources for the objective evidence to support your evaluation:

   • Documents: Organizational safety manuals and instructions, safe operating procedures, and job hazard analyses
   • Records: E-mails or letters from management to employees, safety meeting minutes, mishap logs, audit reports, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citations, inspection reports, risk assessments, and training records
   • Interviews: Management personnel, supervisors, and employees
   • Observation: Walk through some workplaces to observe conditions for yourself.
2. For each management system element, discuss the objective evidence you found or were unable to find. Evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s implementation of each element against available reference sources and best practice information. Use the following four-tier evaluation scheme to rate each element:
   
   • World Class: OHS performance
   • Strong: Conforming/complete, may have minor gaps with action plans
   • Moderate: Scattered non-conformances need to be addressed, positive trends/major elements in place
   • Limited: Multiple or significant systemic non-conformances exist.

   Appropriate references include the course textbook; textbooks from other college-level courses; ANSI/AIHA Z10-2012; other published consensus standards like ANSI, ASSE, AIHA, ISO, and NFPA; OSHA standards and voluntary guidelines; and articles published in professional journals. Blogs, Wikipedia, About.com, Ask.com, and other unmonitored Internet resources are not considered scholarly references and should not be used. Please contact your professor if you have any questions about the appropriateness of a source.

3. If an element is found to be less than World Class, provide recommendations for improvement. Be sure to use appropriate scholarly sources to support your recommendations.
4. Provide a summary of the overall status of the organization’s safety management system and comment on the degree of alignment between the safety management system and other management system efforts utilized at the facility.

Must be a minimum of seven pages and a maximum of 10 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. A minimum of five professional sources must be used.

what facts lead to the appeal? And, what was the issue on appeal? Also, what are your thoughts on the how the court ruled? Would you have ruled the same? Among the various cases that are taken to the law court, some of them get dropped or dismissed, while other complainants lose the cases. The only way to press on finding the much craved for justice is by going through a lawful procedure of filing a case in the court of appeal. It is not in all cases that the losing party has the right to appeal since some of them do not qualify on legal basis. If the case was civil, the losing party can file an appeal to the high court (Ehrhardt, 2000). There are three reasons why a complainant can file an appeal include the verdict being unreasonable or having no enough convincing evidence. In a case where the judge makes a law error, and in cases where there exists justice miscarriage on any basis.

Nonetheless, there are various procedures followed in filing cases of appeal, which are legal and lawful. The appellant, appealing party or rather the petitioner starts by filing a notice of appeal. This is usually accompanied by a brief argument explaining the case being appealed. The appellee is required by the law to respond (Yager, 1981). As dictated by the briefing argument presented, the case can qualify hearing in the court of appeal if the judge in the responsible courts finds it to be sensible. A good example of cases appealed in the state courts of Florida include the Christopher Chuchian and Kristen Chuchian, who are appellants, against the Sirus Investment, LLE, who were the appellees (Bert-Seligon, 2017). This duo decided to file the case following the foreclosure of their case by the trial court. In this case, the court had awarded the company $118, 323.12 as principle, which was an error. This led to bleaching of agreements that were made between the clients and the bank. In such a case, the court would not hurry in making decision to dismiss the case and instead, it would have listened to the complainant keenly before dismissing the case.

Applying

“Applying” ideas is the next step in learning, following understanding (which follows retrieval). In other words, to apply ideas, one must first retrieve, then understand, and then apply. Upon retrieving and understanding, show that you can apply these ideas by applying the abstract ideas from this text in a concrete situation to solve a problem or relate it to prior experience. Use ONE of the following prompts to guide your writing:

How would you make use of this ethical theory?

How does this ethical theory apply to something in your life?

How does this ethical theory apply to an issue we face as a society?

• How could you apply what you have read to construct an ideal society?
• Do you know another instance where this ethical theory would be helpful/illuminating?
• Using what you know, how would you design a list of guidelines for moral behavior?
• Utilize this ethical theory to solve a moral problem.
• Is there a way to demonstrate the usefulness of this theory?
• Can you apply the method used in this text to some experience of your own?

OVERVIEW:

Respond to four questions and solve three computational problems about time value of money (TMV) as it applies to annuity cash flows.

You know how the TVM concept as applies to single cash flow. However, in real life you will come across financial applications that require multiple or annuity cash flows. That is why it is important to know how to apply the TVM concept to annuity cash flows; for example, how to amortize a mortgage or car loan.
