Consider the influence of socioeconomic status (SES), culture, gender, ethnicity, and spirituality on mental and physical health for the individual in various health care settings, as it relates specifically to age in adulthood. Construct your post addressing young, middle and older adult related risks concerning a topic. (Young adults are 18–35, not adolescents). Consider physiological, psychological and iatrogenic risks

Be creative in how you address the discussion. You may choose a specific health topic, social health issue, a health condition or create a family scenario. Consider life transitions and role change. Be sure to include risks, addressing the issue across the adult lifespan. Integrate some social, spiritual and environmental influences on mental and physical health.

Question description

In this SLP, you will be a health and safety manager in a company that has a manufacturing facility with multiple occupational hazards. This setting could be a place where you currently work, one that you may be familiar with, or one that you just find interesting.

This SLP will address chemical hazards in the workplace:

1. Identify two hazardous chemicals to which workers are exposed in your facility.
2. Explain the routes by which workers can get exposure to these chemicals, and the associated potential health risks.
3. Choose one method to sample for each of these chemicals in the facility. Justify your choice.
4. Consider how the hazards may be controlled and select the best approach, the one that protects workers best.
