The previous director was tasked with conducting research to help provide information to make decisions about these issues. Although data were collected, the project was never completed. Senior leadership is interested in seeing the project through to fruition. The organization seek to achieve the objectives highlighted below in its endeavor to promote effective leadership and efficiency of service provision. RO1: To determine the relationship between Particulate Matter (PM) size and employee health. RO2: To evaluate if training has been successful in reducing lost-time hours and, if so, how to predict lost-time hours from training expenditures. RO3: To employ the historical data from 1,530 contracts to predict the decibels (DB) levels of work environments before placing employees on-site for future contracts. RO4: To evaluate whether the revised program is more effective than the prior training program based on the two groups of employees, A and B who participated in the prior training program and in the revised training programs respectively. RO5: To determine if blood lead levels have increased based on 49 employees who recently concluded a 2-year lead remediation project. RO6: To evaluate where the difference between return on investment exist considering four lines of service that Sun Coast offers to their customers including air monitoring, soil remediation, water reclamation, and health and safety training. Research Questions and Hypotheses
- 13. Sun Coast faces different business problems which need to be addressed as one means of promoting its endeavor to achieve both short and long term goals. The research questions will help the researchers is designing an appropriate research process that will lead to a credible conclusion to the problem (Creswell, & Creswell, 2018). On the hand, both null and alternative hypotheses will enable the researchers to determine the possible outcome based on the research problem. RQ1: Is there a relationship between Particulate Matter (PM) size and employee health? H01: PM that is less than 2.5 microns is potentially more harmful than PM that is between 10 and 2.5 HA1: There is no statistical relationship between the PM size and the worker’s health RQ2: Has health and safety training successful in reduced lost- time hours and, if so, how to can lost-time be predicted? H02: Health and safety training has successfully limited lost- time hours and the lost time can be predicted based on current performance. HA2: There is no statistical relationship between health and safety training and lost time. Hence, it is difficult to predict. RQ3: Can (DB) levels of work environments be predicted before placing employees on-site for future contracts? H03: The standard ear-plugs are adequate to protect employee hearing if the decibel levels are less than 120 decibels (dB). HA3: It is difficult to predict the DB levels since there is no statistical link to it. RQ4: Which program is more effective between two groups of employees, A and B prior training and during the revised training respectively? H04: The program is more efficient with the revised programs than the prior training one. HA4: The program is more efficient with the one prior training than revised one. RQ5: Has the blood lead levels have increased based on 49 employees who recently concluded a 2-year lead remediation

Throughout the term, you will serve as the health and safety director for Sun Coast Remediation (Sun Coast). Sun Coast provides remediation services to business and governmental organizations. Most of their contracts involve working within contamination sites where they remove toxic substances from soil and water. In addition to the toxicity of the air, water, and soil their employees come into contact with, the work environment is physically demanding and potentially contributory to injuries involving musculoskeletal systems, vision, and hearing. Sun Coast genuinely cares about the health, safety, and well-being of their 5,500 employees, but they are also concerned about worker-compensation costs and potential long-term litigation from injuries and illness related to employment. Health and Safety Director Task Sun Coast hired you last month to replace the previous health and safety director, who left to pursue other opportunities. This is a critical position within the company because there are many health and safety-related issues due to the nature of the work.
- 18. Throughout the term you will use your knowledge of research methods to bring the proposal to fruition. You will conduct a literature review, develop research questions and hypotheses, create the research design, test data, interpret data, and present the findings. Each unit will accomplish one of these tasks. It has already been decided that the business problems will be best addressed using a quantitative research methodology. You will not collect any data for this project. All data will be provided for you. Statistical Tools You will conduct the data analysis using Microsoft Excel Toolpak.

Sun Coast Remediation Course Project Introduction Senior leadership at Sun Coast has identified several areas for concern that they believe could be solved using business research methods. The previous director was tasked with conducting research to help provide information to make decisions about these issues. Although data were collected, the project was never completed. Senior leadership is interested in seeing the project through to fruition. The following is the completion of that project, and includes statement of the dilemmas, literature review, purpose statements, research methodology, design, and methods, research questions and hypotheses, data analysis, and findings. Statement of the Problems/Dilemmas There were six business dilemmas identified. Particulate Matter (PM) There is a concern that job-site particle pollution is adversely impacting employee health. Although respirators are required in certain environments, particulate matter (PM) varies in size depending on the project and job site. PM between 10 and 2.5 microns can float in the air for minutes to hours (e.g. asbestos, mold spores, pollen, cement dust, fly ash), while PM less than 2.5 microns can float in the air for hours to weeks (e.g. bacteria,
- 20. viruses, oil smoke, smog, soot). Due to the smaller size of PM less than 2.5 microns, it is potentially more harmful than PM between 10 and 2.5 since the conditions are more suitable for inhalation. PM less than 2.5 are also able to be inhaled into the deeper regions of the lungs, potentially causing more deleterious health effects. It would be helpful to understand if there is a relationship between PM size and employee health. Air quality data have been collected from 103 job sites, which is reflected in PM size. Data is also available for average annual sick days per employee per job-site. Safety Training Effectiveness Health and Safety training is conducted for each new contract that is awarded to Sun Coast. Data for training expenditures and lost-time hours were collected from 223 contracts. It would be valuable to know if training has been successful in reducing lost-time hours and, if so, how to predict lost-time hours from training expenditures. Sound-Level Exposure Sun Coast’s contracts generally involve work in noisy environments due to a variety of heavy equipment being used for both remediation and the clients’ ongoing operations on the job sites. Standard ear-plugs are adequate to protect employee hearing if the decibel levels are less than 120 decibels (dB). For environments with noise-levels exceeding 120 dB, more advanced and expensive hearing protection is required, such as ear-muffs. Data have been collected for the primary variables that are believed to contribute to excessive noise. It would be important if these data could be used to predict the dB levels of work environments before placing employees on site. New Employee Training All new Sun Coast employees participate in general health and safety training. The training program was revamped and implemented six months ago. Data is available for two Groups; a) Group A employees who participated in the previous training program, and b) Group B employees who participated in the revised training program. It is necessary to know if the revised
- 21. training program is more effective than the prior training program. Lead Exposure Employees working on job sites to remediate lead must be monitored. Lead levels in blood are measured as micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (μg/dL). A base-line is taken pre- exposure, then post-exposure at regular intervals, and at the conclusion of the remediation. Data are available for 49 employees who recently concluded a two-year-long lead remediation project. It is necessary to determine if blood lead levels have increased. Return-On-Investment Sun Coast would like to know if all lines of service provide the same return-on-investment. Return-on-investment data is available for air monitoring, soil remediation, water reclamation, and health and safety training. If return-on- investment is not the same for all lines of service, it would be helpful to know were differences exist. Literature Review Include this information here.

Sampling Design Students should briefly describe the type of sampling design that was most likely used for the data that were collected. Choices include, but are not limited to, random sample,
- 23. convenience sample, etc. Explain your rationale for your sampling design selection(s). Data Analysis Procedures Students should specify which statistical procedures were used to test each set of hypotheses from among correlation, regression, t test, and ANOVA. They should explain why each procedure was the most appropriate choice. Data Analysis Student narrative should restate the null and alternative hypotheses for each of the six business dilemmas, indicate the p-value of the results, and explicitly accept or reject the null and alternative hypotheses. Exceptional submissions will explain if assumptions for parametric testing were met. Students should provide the Excel Toolpak results of their statistical analyses. At a minimum, histograms, descriptive statistics, and the statistical tests should be cut and pasted from Excel directly into the final project document. For the regression hypotheses, the students should display and discuss the predictive regression equation. Correlation Analysis Descriptive statistics and assumption testing.

Senior leadership at Sun Coast has identified several areas for concern that they believe could be solved using business research methods. The previous director was tasked with conducting research to help provide information to make decisions about these issues. Although data were collected, the project was never completed. Senior leadership is interested in seeing the project through to fruition. The following is the completion of that project and includes the statement of the problems, literature review, research objectives, research questions and hypotheses, research methodology, design, and methods, data analysis, findings, and recommendations. Statement of the Problems Note: The following statement of the problems should remain in the research project unchanged. Delete this note before you begin. Six business problems were identified: Particulate Matter (PM) There is a concern that job-site particle pollution is adversely impacting employee health. Although respirators are required in certain environments, PM varies in size depending on the project and job site. PM that is between 10 and 2.5 microns can float in the air for minutes to hours (e.g., asbestos, mold spores, pollen, cement dust, fly ash), while PM that is less than 2.5 microns can float in the air for hours to weeks (e.g. bacteria, viruses, oil smoke, smog, soot).

It would be helpful to understand if there is a relationship between PM size and employee health. PM air quality data have been collected from 103 job sites, which is recorded in microns. Data are also available for average annual sick days per employee per job-
- 27. site. Safety Training Effectiveness Health and safety training is conducted for each new contract that is awarded to Sun Coast. Data for training expenditures and lost-time hours were collected from 223 contracts. It would be valuable to know if training has been successful in reducing lost-time hours and, if so, how to predict lost-time hours from training expenditures. Sound-Level Exposure Sun Coast’s contracts generally involve work in noisy environments due to a variety of heavy equipment being used for both remediation and the clients’ ongoing operations on the job sites. Standard ear-plugs are adequate to protect employee hearing if the decibel levels are less than 120 decibels (dB). For environments with noise levels exceeding 120 dB, more advanced and expensive hearing protection is required, such as earmuffs. Historical data have been collected from 1,503 contracts for several variables that are believed to contribute to excessive dB levels. It would be important if these data could be used to predict the dB levels of work environments before placing employees on-site for future contracts. This would help the safety department plan for procurement of appropriate ear protection for employees. New Employee Training All new Sun Coast employees participate in general health and safety training. The training program was revamped and implemented six months ago. Upon completion of the training programs, the employees are tested on their knowledge. Test data are available for two groups: Group A employees who participated in the prior training program and Group B employees who participated in the revised training program. It is necessary to know if the revised training program is more effective than the prior training program. Lead Exposure Employees working on job sites to remediate lead must be monitored. Lead levels in blood are measured as micrograms of
- 28. lead per deciliter of blood (μg/dL). A baseline blood test is taken pre-exposure and postexposure at the conclusion of the remediation. Data are available for 49 employees who recently concluded a 2-year lead remediation project. It is necessary to determine if blood lead levels have increased. Return on Investment Sun Coast offers four lines of service to their customers, including air monitoring, soil remediation, water reclamation, and health and safety training. Sun Coast would like to know if each line of service offers the same return on investment. Return on investment data are available for air monitoring, soil remediation, water reclamation, and health and safety training projects. If return on investment is not the same for all lines of service, it would be helpful to know where differences exist.

Restate each research objective, and discuss them in the context of your hypothesis testing results. The following are some things to consider. What answers did the analysisprovide to your research questions? What do those answers tell you? What are the implications of those answers? Delete these statements before you begin. Example: RO1: Determine if a person’s height is related to weight.
- 31. The results of the statistical testing showed that a person’s height is related to their weight. It is a relatively strong and positive relationship between height and weight. We would, therefore, expect to see in our population taller people having a greater weight relative to those of shorter people. This determination suggests restrictions on industrial equipment should be stated in maximum pounds allowed rather than maximum number of people allowed. RO2: RO3: RO4: RO5: RO6: Recommendations After providing a brief introduction to this section, students should include recommendations here in paragraph form.
