Project Consulting Report

8498As the newly assigned environmental health and safety (EHS) manager, you have been asked to conduct several
calculations that will assist the plant manager in making some safety-related decisions. You are to conduct the calculations
and provide the results in a three-page project report using the Unit II Consulting Report template.
Scenario #1: The plant manager is considering the installation of a second tank into an existing containment dike with a
capacity of 175,000 gallons. (Note: 1 U.S. gallon = 0.1337 cubic feet). The existing tank in the containment measures 15 feet
in diameter and 12 feet in height. The second tank being planned measures 20 feet in diameter and 40 feet in height. State
law requires that the dike hold at least 125% of total container capacity. Therefore, you must total all containers in the
containment.
Scenario #2: The plant manager has asked you to calculate the mean, mode and median of the following data set, which is
the measured reach distances on the bag reclaiming area:
28, 23, 27, 29, 28, 26, 25, 30 and 24 (All measurements are in inches)
Scenario #3: The plant manager is preparing a presentation that includes the last three years of injuries which totaled 14.
You have determined that in the past three years there 7 of the 14 were hand injuries. Previous projections had indicated
that under normal conditions, only four hand injuries were expected and 12 other injuries were expected. The remaining
injuries were due to other causes. Calculate the chi-square value and discuss whether there was a significant difference in
observed data vs. the expected data. Also discuss how the process of hypothesis testing might prove helpful to the safety professional.
Where
o = 7 hand injuries and 7 other injuries
e = 4 expected hand injuries and 12 other injuries

Complete your project by following the Unit II Consulting Report template. Ensure you show your equations and all work for
determining answers for all three scenarios in the project document. You may either formulate the scenario equations using
the Word equation formula toolbar or write and solve your equations with answers on a separate paper. Then, take a
screenshot of your work for each scenario using your phone or similar device and insert it as an image in the document.
Make sure your image is clear and legible to read.
