Columbia Southern Construction Safety Workplace Falls Research Paper OSHA has identified four categories of hazards that account
for more than 50% of all construction fatalities: Falls (36.5%) Struck by
object (10.1%) Electrocutions (8.6%) Caught-in/between (2.5%) The assignment is
to write a research paper involving one of these four construction hazard
categories. You may narrow your topic down to a more specific type of accident
within the major category. For example, under falls, you could focus your
research on falls from ladders. When writing the paper, consider the following
questions: 1. What are the common causative factors? 2. What does data
indicate? 3. What are the effective proven corrective measures? The submission
must be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title page or
reference page. A minimum of three scholarly reference sources must be used
from the CSU/Waldorf Online Library. Scholarly sources include: peer-reviewed
journal articles (Click here to access a webinar outlining peer-reviewed
articles.) safety reference books and textbooks, and other publications by
safety professionals and organizations (print or online). Note that
wikipedia.com, answers.com, ask.com, about.com, and similar broad-based
Internet sites are not considered scholarly sources. Use government and
professional safety-related sources, such as osha.gov, niosh.gov, asse.org,
nsc.org, and nfpa.org. Contact your professor if you have any questions about
the validity of a reference source. APA format is required. Be sure to use
in-text citations for direct quotes and paraphrased information.
