Obstructive Sleep Apnea
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length.

Telltale signs of a potential problem include loud snoring, obesity, high blood pressure and a physical blockage of the nose, throat or upper airway. Its prevalence appears to be genetic to some degree; however, its appearance in overweight patients also indicates that its composition is rooted in both genetics and environment.

In order to combat this assault, businesses are urged to 1) assess the workplace and 2) address and eliminate the causative agent(s). Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Occupational Safety in the UK's Construction Industry
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper discussing Britain's efforts to devise effective rules for increased safety while maintaining common sense. Narrow and immediate issues of workplace safety rest with individual workers and their employers' management of active safety issues, but they also extend to greater levels as evidenced by rules applying to consultants and designers. Mandatory certifications can work to improve safety records of construction firms, as can greater awareness of safety issues by all involved, workers and managers alike. The trend toward identifying best practices and methods of assessing risk is sound, but UK's regulatory agencies will need to look to OSHA as example of regulations that often are counterproductive. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
