OSHA has cited your company, Smith & Baker Construction Co.
(SBCC), in the past year for violations. SBCC operates in three
Western states: California, Arizona and Nevada. The violations
were for the following accidents: Andrew fell into an open
excavation in California, and the company failed to identify the
hazard. Thomas fell from scaffolding during construction of a
three-story office building in Arizona. Lindsay became ill from
breathing toxic contamination as she walked the work site in
Nevada.
Andrew

Identify OSHA regulations or standards applicable to each
scenario.
4. All posts to all discussions require APA citations and
references. Each student is to respond to 2 other students’ posts
for every discussion throughout the course. This is the rule for
this class; there are discrepancies in this on the Blackboard site.
However, going forward, If you post more than 6 response
posts by day 5 you will be eligible for 3 points extra
participation credit to make up for any lost points (my class
rule).
I will be posting on discussions and I am requiring a response
from you so please check throughout the week for when respond
to your discussion post (usually by day 5)
All initial posts and response posts are due on the days
specified on Blackboard (usually Day Three and Five). If your
post is late for whatever reason please make sure your posts are
posted by Day 7. I am no longer allowed to accept posts after
Day 7 as per Walden’s Policy, and any posts. If you know that
there is a circumstance that will prevent you for making the post
on time or by Day 7, please email me to discuss.
The way a reader (myself and other students) can see that you
understand the information, theoretical models, concepts, and
words you are discussing is to write about them in your own
words as much as possible, tell us what the article authors said
by paraphrasing, using your own language. Scholarly does not
mean you have to write using multi-syllabic words. Writing a
bit like you talk is fine if the reader can understand and if your
spelling and grammar are correct.
Read the rubric before and while you write. Let it guide you as
to what you write. This is straightforward. In discussion posts
you can draft a post in a word document where you have pasted
the instructions for each point to be made in the post. You can
then write your answer/post right under this instruction and
copy and paste the whole thing onto the discussion list. This can
help you stay on track.
The idea in discussions is to have as much of a conversation as
possible. Notice that the “feedback” rubric score for “excellent”
says: RESPONSES --if you fail to respond at all, the grade for
5. feedback is 0 out of 10 points. This does not even consider
quality of posts, doing nothing causes a loss of 10 points
CITATIONS AND REFERENCES: Initial posts and the 2
required responses must have citations and references from the
professional literature. Using only the case as a reference/cite
is NOT sufficient. This is a vignette, it is not research that will
back up a claim. Every post should have a claim you are
making (e.g. "I think an eco map is good to use here",
"Strengths based is best here", "Women in violent relationships
often attempt to leave 9 times before leaving for good). You
then must have a cite/ref. that backs up this claim, e.g. an
article that states eco maps are good to use in situations similar
to the case under discussion.
Written Assignments:
Walden University has a strict policy on written assignments,
whereas all papers are required to follow APA format. The only
exception is that they no longer require a running head on the
papers. Most of you already adhere to this format and I have
not been as strict in my grading when reviewing your papers on
this, but going forward (Week 7 and beyond) I will now follow
closely to Walden University requirements and the rubric. The
outline for an APA paper is below, and I have attached a sample
for your review.
In addition, as I mentioned in my introductory post at the
beginning of the quarter. following very closely with
Walden's Tunitin Policy, which I posted below. Therefore, any
paper that is submitted to me with more than 30% of the paper
with improperly cited passages (or too many cited passages) I
will return the paper to you and ask for you to re-review it and
for a re-write if necessary. You will not lose points if the
original paper was submitted on-time, but will be given a
limited period of time to review/rewrite the paper (2-3 days).
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

APA Format Outline: In general, your paper should follow
these formatting guidelines:
Margin. Although formerly, the required measurement for
margins is 1 ½ inch, now, it is required that margins on all sides
(top, bottom, left, right) should each just measure one (1) inch.
Font Size and Type. Font for text all throughout the paper
should be 12-pt., Times New Roman.
Spacing. Double-space for the whole document, including
appendices, footnotes, tables and figures. For spacing after
punctuation, space once after commas, colons and semicolons
within sentences and space twice after punctuation marks that
end sentences.
Text Alignment and Indentation. Alignment should be flush left,
or aligned to the left creating uneven right margin.
Active Voice. Traditionally, the APA writing format requires
writing in an impersonal form. That is, refraining from using
pronouns such as ‘I' or ‘We' in your statements. Now, it has
changed. Most disciplines require the active voice. An example
of this would be, instead of writing “according to the study,” it
should be “according to our study.” This way, papers are made
to be as active as possible.
Order of Pages and Pagination. The order of pages should
follow this format:
Title Page > Abstract > Body > References > Appendices >
Footnotes > Tables > Figures
The page number should appear one inch from the right corner
of the paper on the first line of each page. The title page will
serve as the Page 1 of your paper.
Title Page
The Title Page should contain the title of your paper, your name
as its author (including co-authors), your institutional
affiliation/s and author note if applicable. In case there's no
institutional affiliation, just indicate your city and state or your
city and country instead.
7. As mentioned earlier, your title page will serve as your Page 1.
It should be typed centered on the page. If it requires more than
one line, please be reminded to double-space between all lines.
Your name appears double-spaced as well, below the paper title.
The author note is where information about the author's
departmental affiliation is stated, or acknowledgements of
assistance or financial support are made, as well as the mailing
address for future correspondence.
Abstract
The Abstract of your paper contains a brief summary of the
entirety of your research paper. It usually consists of just 150-
250 words, typed in block format. The Abstract begins on a new
page, Page 2. All numbers in your Abstract should be typed as
digits rather than words, except those that begin a sentence.
Body
The body of your research paper begins on a new page, Page 3.
The whole text should be typed flush-left with each paragraph's
first line indented 5-7 spaces from the left. Also, avoid
hyphenating words at ends of line.
Text Citation and References
Text Citations are important to avoid issues of plagiarism.
When documenting source materials, the author/s and date/s of
the sources should be cited within the body of the paper. The
main principle here is that, all ideas and words of others should
be properly and formally acknowledged.
The Reference Section lists all the sources you've previously
cited in the body of your research paper. It states the author/s of
the source, the material's year of publication, the name or title
of the source material, as well as its electronic retrieval
information, if these were gathered from the Internet.
Appendices
The Appendix is where unpublished tests or other descriptions
of complex equipment or stimulus materials are presented.

“Racism involves stereotyping people based on their race”
9. (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016). I will never forget the day
that I realized that no matter how nice and smart and cute I was,
there were still some people who would not accept me because
of the color of my skin. I was in the 6th grade living in NJ at
the time. My best friend was named Thuy Nguyen and she was
Vietnamese. We would do everything together in school, and
talk on the phone after school. One day we wanted to hang out
afterschool and my mother said that it was ok for me to go over
her house after school for a few hours. Her parents had
confirmed prior as well. When I showed up with her after school
I met her parents and they were very nice, or so it seemed. After
not even being there for 20 minutes Thuy told me that her
parents said that I had to leave because I was black. I was
devastated and had no idea why this was happening. I left, and
went to a pay phone and called my mom and she came to pick
me up. She was upset and so was I. Thuy was upset as well; I’m
assuming she did not know that her parents were this way. We
continued to be friends, but just in school. She never judged me
by my color and accepted me for who I was, her friend. This
was experience racism on a micro-level which refers to personal
or one on one actions between two or more people (Zastrow &
Kirst-Ashman, 2016).
I am not sure how this experience impacted my development at
that very moment. I was 11 years old and I suppose the
resiliency was so that it did not affect me at that time. I had no
ill feelings towards my friend Thuy after that. I was confused
but never really questioned it and my household wasn’t one
where things were thoroughly explained or processed. As I have
gotten older and have experienced other forms of racism, I think
back to this experience and how as a child this could have been
really traumatic and cause me at such a young age to form my
own prejudices again Vietnamese people. It impacted my view
of difference in knowing that no matter what we are all children
of God and to love everyone equally. As a mother this is what
I’ve always taught my now 13 year old daughter. At the age of 9
years old (4th grade) she had her first experience with racism
10. and I had to go back to how I felt when it happened to me, and
explain to her why some people are the way that they are.

Discussion 1 Week 8
As a Social worker we know that working with the child means
working with the whole family and with other environmental
factors in a culturally competent way. In fact, social workers
have battled child maltreatment for more than 100 years, and to
the battle we bring a unique body of knowledge. Social workers
and other professionals help families by identifying and
11. addressing the individual, familial, and community challenges
they encounter. Further, social workers are taught that
prevention should be at the front end of all interventions and we
applaud the commitment of President Obama to promote the
prevention of child maltreatment, to support parents with young
children, and to expand Early Head Start. Social workers are on
the front lines protecting children and assisting them in finding
safe living situations. However, many social workers in child
welfare are overburdened with high caseloads and mounting
administrative details, while receiving low pay relative to other
professions.
For social workers, the reporting of child abuse represents far
more than an ethical dilemma. Mandatory reporting laws not
only require social workers to report suspected cases of child
abuse and neglect, but also there can be varying levels of civil
and criminal liability for failing to do so. For example, a social
worker at a family services agency failed to report an incident
of child abuse he witnessed during a counseling session to
“preserve the therapeutic relationship. Child welfare systems
across the country serve some of the most vulnerable children,
youths, and families. These systems are designed to support
families and to protect children from harm through an array of
prevention and intervention services; in particular, they are
designed to support children who have been or are at risk of
abuse or neglect. Historically, social workers have played
critical roles in these systems (NASW, 2005).
I truly believed that all children have the rights feel protected
regardless of their immigration status. Lack of sufficient
research, shared knowledge, guiding principles • Complexity of
cases, unprepared professionals Families caught between
systems, lack of common understandings and goals across
systems and disciplines, lack of funding for needed services,
increasingly negative public sentiment. Children in immigrant
families are considered more likely to be uninsured, to be
reported in fair or poor health, and to lack a usual place where
they can get preventive health care and to be protected.

The NASW policy that I selected is, “Policies and
procedures should be developed in human services
organizations to address and ensure the safety of social workers
and other professionals working with abuse and neglect”
(NASW, 2009, p. 46). As a child welfare specialist who works
in the field directly with child abuse and neglect, I find this
policy statement to be something that is heavily needed. What I
would suggest is a policy that require social workers who work
directly with child abuse and neglect cases, to have a
psychological examination every eighteen months. A part of a
child welfare specialist’s safety is making sure they are
mentally able to remain safe. This can only be done if they are
mentally ready to react in dangerous situations. The reason why
I chose eighteen months is because the average child welfare
specialist in the state of Oklahoma lasts on an average twenty
13. months. This information is what I have heard while at work
from many of my coworkers. The retention rate is so high for
child welfare specialist here in Oklahoma.
As a child welfare specialist/social workers are exposed
to many incidents that cause severe secondary trauma. Shocking
and heinous abuse and neglect, child deaths, and physical and
emotional assaults by clients all cause secondary trauma and
even cause PTSD. Oklahoma needs to do a better job at making
sure child welfare workers are managing their self-care. Self-
care should be a mandatory thing and included in policy. Many
workers are so over whelmed and over worked that they don’t
take time to take care of themselves. Oklahoma offers services
for child welfare workers who experience these incidents called
critical incident debriefings. These debriefing are tailored at
helping the social worker deal with the associated stress to the
incident. This service can be found on the OKDHS website
under policy number 340:75-1-233 (OKDHS, 2016). I believe
including self-care into policy for child welfare specialist will
help improve the retention rate of child welfare specialist.

PUBLISHED
42. Regina's Expectations for Class Discussions and assignments:
In regards to discussion posts I generally follow the guidelines
spelled out in
Walden's grading rubric in regards to posts (see the grading
rubric outlined in
the course information section of blackboard). However, if you
do not use APA
format or references in at least your initial post, I will deduct at
least 5 points for
that (so please do that). This is also the same rules for
assignments, that they
must follow APA style format. Also, in past courses I have been
flexible in certain
situations regarding delayed or late posts. I do believe that life
sometimes gets in
the way when we least expect it to. Please know that I would
prefer a late post
than no post at all. However, I will not accept posts that are
more than a week
late. If you are not able to post by the required date for
whatever reason, just
please let me know beforehand. As a rule, however, I do deduct
points off the
posts if they are late so as to be fair to those who post on time.
In addition, I will be following very closely with Walden's
Tunitin Policy, which I
posted below. Therefore, any paper that is submitted to me with
more than 30%
of the paper with improperly cited passages (or to many cited
passages) I will
return the paper to you and ask for you to re-review it and for a
re-write if
necessary. You will not lose points if the original paper was
43. submitted on-time,
but will be given a limited period of time to review/rewrite the
paper (2-3 days).
I have provided an outline of what is specifically required for
discussion posts and
written assignments in this course:
Discussion Posts:
All posts to all discussions require APA citations and
references. Each student is to
respond to 2 other students’ posts for every discussion
throughout the course. This is
the rule for this class; there are discrepancies in this on the
Blackboard site. However,
going forward, If you post more than 6 response posts by day 5
you will be eligible
for 3 points extra participation credit to make up for any lost
points (my class rule).
I will be posting on discussions and I am requiring a response
from you so please
check throughout the week for when respond to your discussion
post (usually by day
5)
All initial posts and response posts are due on the days
specified on Blackboard
(usually Day Three and Five). If your post is late for whatever
reason please make
sure your posts are posted by Day 7. I am no longer allowed to
accept posts after Day
7 as per Walden’s Policy, and any posts. If you know that there
is a circumstance that
will prevent you for making the post on time or by Day 7,
please email me to discuss.
