HELP ME TO CORRECT GRAMMAR MISTAKES

1. Workplace violence is a serious health and safety issue. Workers do not expect to be victims of workplace violence. Unfortunately, violence can occur in any workplace and can have serious consequences for workers, their families, and co-workers. The way of carrying out the work can also be turned upside down.

When it comes to violence, most people think of physical assault, but in reality, it is a much larger issue. Workplace violence includes any incident in which an employee is mistreated, threatened, or attacked in the course of their employment, including the use of force, threats, verbal attacks, and harassment of a sexual, racial, or personal nature, among others.

Workplace violence is not limited to incidents that occur in traditional workplaces. It can occur during work-related social activities, at clients' homes, or in other situations where workers are away from their place of work, but perform tasks associated with their job.

Anticipation or fear of violence is also a stressor that can lead to physical or psychological problems for workers. In view of the above consequences, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration established rules in 1970 to compel employers to provide a safe and healthy workplace for all workers. Employers are not directly guilty of the consequences of acts of violence caused by workers, but it is important to emphasize that they can be found guilty of not having taken sufficient measures to protect their workers. It is a legal obligation for the employer to ensure that the workplace is free of conditions or activities that are likely to cause injury or death to workers. (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 2019). It is possible to take appropriate measures to mitigate the danger when the risk factors are identified. The employer should develop a zero-tolerance policy that contains specific and concrete clauses. It is important that workers, customers, contractors, and anyone in contact with the workplace receive training on how to apply this policy.

I believe that the implementation of a prevention program that integrates the aspects of administrative controls, technical controls, and training of workers can play a big role in reducing violence in the workplace. It is important that workers understand that their complaints of violence will be taken into consideration to ensure a safe workplace for all.

2. The active season begins on June 1 and ends on November 30. The most active period is from mid-August to the end of October with a peak around September 10. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to happen before or after these dates. This natural disaster can destroy businesses, sometimes forcing them to close. Therefore, it is fundamental for the Waldorf Widget Factory to have an emergency plan of action to protect employees, property, equipment, and stock. Preparing for an emergency requires good planning, practice, assessment, and the ability to adapt to circumstances.

The Waldorf Widget Factory should hold regular briefings to have the opportunity to review and discuss hurricane management policies and procedures. If there is the presence of toxic chemicals that can harm the environment, plant officials should inform local authorities to take appropriate protection. OSHA provides guidelines that must be followed by companies to ensure the protection of human life. The first step as I have emphasized is to establish an emergency action plan, the emphasis is on preparing employees to exit buildings safely in an emergency event. It is important to designate a team that will have the mission to evacuate the remains of the collaborators, and this team must have a list of the names of all the employees by their workstation's location. The team will be responsible for leading employees to a pre-arranged meeting point for crisis situations. The team will call by name to identify any missing or injured people. After establishing the plan, it should be tested in practice. A team of people assuming different roles will perform a scenario of assimilation of a hurricane emergency. This will be done in a way that does not disrupt production activities. As soon as it is finished, an evaluation of the scenario will be necessary to adjust if possible.

When an emergency occurs, the emergency plan action prepared beforehand must be launched to secure property and protect personnel. When warning of the threat of a natural disaster such as a hurricane or flooding, it is important to monitor local news reports and follow the instructions of the employer to know the recommended evacuation route and evacuate in the best condition.

The safety of the Waldorf widget Factory employees must be of utmost concern. The necessary directives must be given to employees so that they can return home safely, or if necessary to stay safe in temporary shelters recommended by the employer or the local authorities.
