There are two questions.  Please post in separate attachments.

1. In Unit VI of this course, you will be tasked with writing about the dispute process when workers believe that they are treated unjustly. For this assignment, you will be creating an annotated bibliography of resources on the dispute process.

The resources you identify in this bibliography will be used in writing your assignment in Unit VI. By locating the necessary resources in this bibliography, you will be prepared to write your paper in Unit VI.

Generally, a workers’ compensation dispute is a disagreement between the system participants (e.g., the injured worker, the employer, the employer’s insurance company) that must be settled by the state-specific workers’ compensation board. Most (but not all) disputes generally involve three main areas:

an indemnity dispute involving compensability or liability,

a medical fee dispute for healthcare already provided where the payment has been reduced or denied, or

a medical necessity dispute, disputing if a medical procedure is actually medically necessary.

Using these common disputes as well as others, create an annotated bibliography, and show how those resources will support your paper by briefly describing the content of each article or referenced source.

When writing your bibliography, think about the different types of coverage available to employees and the fundamentals of claim management. Be sure to include information about these in your bibliography.

There is no minimum page count for this assignment, but you must include six-to-ten sources in your bibliography and your entry for each reference should be at least 250 words.

2. You are the safety manager for a company that produces widgets in the state of Kentucky. Your business has a solid reputation and is growing and looking to expand to Texas and Georgia in the next few years. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) wants a better understanding of what insurance coverage they need to have for workers’ compensation moving forward in these three states.

You have partnered with the workers’ compensation manager, and you want to give the SLT a feel for how much money they have spent the past few years and what they should consider for future workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Using information you have learned thus far in the course, make a proposal to the SLT on items they should consider, based on fairly hard facts. Do this by using the OSHA “Safety Pays” Program found here: https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/smallbusiness/safetypays/index.html

Last year, your company had 12 sprains, four cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, one crushing incident, and the loss of vision for three employees. Your company also has a 6.7% profit margin. Your company pays the first $100,000 aggregate for each category of injuries, and then the insurance company pays the rest.

Use the data displayed above, create slides that discuss the following:

Discuss how many compensable injuries happened last year. Explain how many incidents and how much and what could happen if the workforce doubled.

Estimate the total direct costs, indirect costs, and the amount of sales of widgets that are needed to cover the total cost of all the company accidents.

Provide guidance on which states should be considered 3A states and 3C states in the workers’ compensation insurance policy.

Identify if these projected three states would practice extraterritorial and reciprocity with the main state, and explain to the SLT the impact of these statutory guidelines.

Determine if the employer would need any other extra insurance (insurance that would cover a workplace accident not covered by workers’ compensation) or if they should they just pay out of pocket.

Your PowerPoint presentation must be a minimum of eight slides, not counting the title slide or references slides. You must use a minimum of two resources (including the OSHA Safety Pays website) for your presentation. You should include a combination of text and diagrams and pictures if they add value. All in-text citations and references should be displayed in appropriate APA style.

  There are 3 questions in this assignment.  Please post each in a separate attachment.

1.Preincident Plan

As discussed in the unit lesson, there are 15 items which should be considered when performing a preincident plan:

1. construction,
2. occupancy,
3. apparatus and      manpower,
4. life hazards,
5. water supply,
6. auxiliary appliances,
7. street conditions,
8. weather,
9. exposures,
10. area and height,
11. location and extent,
12. time,
13. hazardous materials,
14. communications, and
15. command structure.

For this assignment, you have been tasked to create a three-page plan where you have identified a building in your area for which to create a preincident plan. Your plan should include the following items.

• Include a title page.
• Provide a picture of the building being reviewed and name and address of it.
• List each of the 15 items, and discuss them for building selected. If the item is not applicable or not known, discuss why or “what-ifs.”
• Define the building construction type of this building.
• Identify what levels of protection exist in this building.
• Analyze various principles of fire chemistry and fire dynamics.
• Discuss the impacts fire could have on the emergency situations in this building.
• Detail the actions to be taken by personnel in an emergency.
• Include a reference page with at least your textbook.

Your report should be at least three pages (not counting the title or reference pages). The report should utilize APA guidelines. Include at least your textbook as a source and reference any additional sources that you may use

2. Within this unit, we covered water distribution systems. Based on the community served, these systems can be different. Research your own community, and describe the setting and the water distribution system that exists there. If you are not currently part of the fire service, talk to your local fire department, or call your local department/authority, and ask them about the system in your community.

Within your submission, be specific, and include other (different) systems that were discussed in this unit and how they affect your fire department’s ability to provide fire protection to your citizens. Detail what fire protection systems will be required by personnel for the types of buildings in your community and what prevention efforts can support the system being discussed. Also, discuss the fire code being followed in your community, and why personnel should have knowledge of them.

On a page by itself, include a picture of a water tower in your community, or another part of the water system, if one is not present. Be sure to use at least your textbook as a reference.

Your paper should contain at least two pages of content. Your title page, reference page, and picture page do not count as part of the total page count.

This activity should utilize APA guidelines. Include at least your textbook as a reference and any additional references that you may use.

3. As discussed this unit, many codes exist to reduce community risk. What is one code you would propose based on your personal experience? Please explain any examples and how you feel it would benefit from a fire code.

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Student Instructions

For each assignment, you will use the M.U.S.E. link to complete the lab.

In this lab, you will see the impacts associated with coal-fire or nuclear power plants for electricity generation. This will help you write a scientific paper that focuses on energy sources.

Energy Sources

Everything people do in their daily lives involves the consumption of resources. One resource in particular is energy. Electricity is one of the most important energy resources consumed. Electricity is also one of the highest in demand. Traditionally, fossil fuels have dominated the U.S. energy mix. Examples of fossil fuels include:

• Coal
• Natural gas
• Oil

However, it is well-known that fossil fuels emit carbon into the environment. This is harmful to the environment because fossil fuels are contributing to global warming. Fortunately, alternative energy sources are becoming more efficient and popular. Examples of alternative energy sources include:

• Solar
• Wind
• Hydro
• Geothermal

Analyze energy sources, to write a scientific paper that addresses:

• The 2 primary sources of electricity generation are coal and nuclear power plants. Which of these sources is better for human sustainability?

Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information and gather your data.
