Read the background information in Section 1. Your paper should address each of the

subsections of Section II. Make sure you read each section completely and carefully before

preparing your paper.

Section 1: Background

Acme General Contractors is the general contractor for a new 20-story commercial building in

downtown Centerville, USA. The building will use a rigid-frame structure and reinforced

concrete construction. A major subcontractor on the project who will be performing the roofing

and interior insulation and drywall installation has hired you as the safety officer.

Section II: Assignment

1. Analyze the hazards associated with the roofing and the interior work. You should identify at

least three hazards for each activity.

2. Perform a risk assessment on three of the hazards that you identified for each activity (six

total) using the 4X 5 matrix shown in Figure 34-1 on page 492 of the textbook or in the

quantitative risk assessment form, which can be accessed by clicking here.

3. Prioritize the need for controls for the hazards that you selected based on the results of the

risk assessment.

4. Using the hierarchy of engineering controls listed in Figure 3-3 on page 29 of the textbook,

recommend a control method for each hazard that you believe would be the most effective in

reducing risk to an acceptable level. Explain why you made the choice, and support your

decisions with at least one reference other than the textbook.

5. Use the 4 X 5 matrix or the quantitative risk assessment form to show the reduction in risk

for each hazard after the control method has been applied.

6. For any fall protection that you recommend, be specific about the type of fall protection

needed.

7. Discuss how Prevention through Design (PtD) could be used to reduce the risks associated

with these operations. Prepare your project in a properly formatted APA document including a

title page, the body of the paper, and a references page. The body of your paper must be

minimum of four pages in length and be double-spaced; the title page and references page will

not count toward meeting the four-page minimum requirement. You must use your textbook

and at least one other source outside of the textbook as references.
