Literature Review

Particulate Matter (PM) Article

Vinnikov, D., Tulekov, Z., & (Raushanova, A. (2020). Occupational exposure to participate matter from air pollution in the outdoor workplaces in Almaty during the cold season. Plos one, 15(1).

The article authors are al-Farabi Kazakh National University, School of Public Health, Almaty, Kazakhstan, National Research Tomsk State University; hence they qualify to write it. Vinnikov et al., (2020), the primary purpose was to study the occupational particulate matter's level in outdoor work settings during the cold season. The study used AVOVA in data analysis. Despite the research in Almaty, the same urban landscape gives a similar concept regarding the association between increases of particulate matter in the cold season. The researchers established that M10 TWA lay between 0.050 to 2.075 mg/m3 with 0.366 as geometric mean and median 0.352 mg/m3, implying a high level of particulate matter. I believe that the research will help implement ways to prevent pollutants at work based on the research's evidence-based findings.

Safety Training Effectiveness

Hill III, J.J., Slade, M.D., Cantley, L., Vegso, S., Fiellin, M., & Cullen, M.R. (2008). The relationships between lost work time and duration of absence spells: proposal for a payroll driven measure of absenteeism. Journal of occupational and environmental medicine/American College of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, 50(7), 840.

The above article, its authors, are affiliates of recognized institutions of higher learning such as Yale University. The study's purpose was to establish critical metrics for use in determining the lost work time and duration of absences in work resulting from training. The research utilized ANOVA in determining the relationship between the work lost rate and expenditures within a healthcare context. The findings showed that hours not paid and absent days are significantly correlated with the work loss rate. The research and Sun Coast aim at establishing whether safety training can help reduce absenteeism resulting from workplace injuries. The research made a positive organizational impact in organizations can rely on workforce databases to study the absenteeism patterns and the leading cause and if these causing factors get attributed to lack of training.

Sound-Level Exposure

Byers, J., Waugh, W. R., & Lowman, L. (2006). Sound level exposure of high-risk infants in different environmental conditions. Neonatal Network, 25(1), 25-32. https://connect.springerpub.com/content/sgrnn/25/1/25.abstract

The above article authors have acquired a masters' degree and above from recognized universities. The research employed a descriptive and comparative approach, and it used a convenience sample of 134 babies. It was established that respiratory therapy equipment, employee talking, alerts, and infant fussiness lead to high sound levels. Also, the findings showed that 4–6 dB is an effective sound level reduction compared to noise levels that exceed 120 dB, as portrayed by Dun Coast. The latter can protect workers' ears. Thus both the research and Sun Coast want to establish the impact of high-level sound on ears. Through this research, a positive organizational impact is that Sun Coast's safety department to rely on the evidence-based sound-reducing strategies that the research proposes.

New Employee Training

Sharma, R., & Mishra, D. K. (2020). The role of safety training in original equipment manufacturing companies on employee perception of knowledge, behavior towards safety and safe work environment. International Journal of Safety and Security Engineering, 10(5), 689-698. file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/10.05_14.pdf

The article authors are affiliates of Deemed University. The purpose of their study was to research the impact of safety training on employees' practices or behaviors on safety and a safe working environment. The study employed a survey research design whereby 23 respondents participated in a pilot survey. The researchers used a Cronbach alpha (α) to determine the consistency of the questionnaire and SPSS vs. 21.0 (IBM) to analyze the collected data. The results are that safety training does not help in changing safety behaviors. Both the article and Sun Coast aimed at finding whether safety training helps change employees' safety behavior at the workplace (self- behavioral change towards safety issues). This research will help Sun Coast explore other ways of enhancing safety since safety training seems ineffective based on the research findings.

Lead Exposure

Guth, K., Bourgeois, M., Johnson, G., & Harbison, R. (2020). Assessment of lead exposure controls on bridge painting projects using worker blood lead levels. Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 115, 104698 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0273230020301240

All the authors are experts in occupational health and safety and affiliates of the University of South Florida. The main purpose of the research was to study the exposure profile and compare it with the OSHA's construction lead standards. The used method was comparative or quasi-Experimental to help in establishing cause-effect relationships among various exposures to lead. The findings revealed that laborers' and painters' exposure to lead is greater than the set OSHA construction lead standards. Both the research and Sun Coast aim at establishing the risks associated with the workers' level of lead exposure. Thus, I believe this research will help Sun Coast differentiate between effective and ineffective lead exposure controls or methods to ensure the safety of workers.

Return on Investment

Hutauruk, M. R., & Ghozali, I. (2020). Overview of return on investment on cigarette companies registered in Indonesia stock exchange. International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research.

Authors are affiliates of recognized universities such as the University of New York and the University of Liverpool. The research purpose was to justify the effect of investment returns in profitability on stock prices. The researchers used online data in IDX for data collection. The findings showed that return on equity ROE has a positive and crucial impact on stock prices. The general findings were that return on equity, asset, and earning per share significantly affect stock price movements. The existing relationship between the article and Sun Coast is that the two aim at determining the viability of the projects to invest. I believe that this research will help Sun Coast to rely on ROA, ROE, and EPS as the best investment performance measurement techniques for determining the key behaviors of market players.
