Utilities and Piping assignment
general article writing
Description
Choose a journal article from the CSU Online Library that deals with any of the material presented in the
first four units of
this course. The article itself must be more than one page in length. The EBSCO Database (Business

is a good source of journals for safety related articles. If you have a specific area of interest that is
covered later in the
course, you may ask for professor approval.
Your Article Critique must be two to four pages in length, double spaced. All sources used, including the
textbook, must
be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
Some suggested topics include
- the organizational role of the safety professional,
- the “business” of safety,
- hazard avoidance models,
- current regulatory trends in occupational safety and health,
- the safety professional's role in disaster preparedness,
BOS 3001, Fundamentals of Occupational Safety and Health 3
- workplace standards, and
- current occupational health issues.
Article Critique must include the following components:
- a brief introduction to the article,
- a summary and analysis of the key points in the article,
- whether or not the article supports the concepts as presented in the textbook, and
- a summary of the article's conclusions and your own opinions.
