  MODULE 
    SEVEN: EFFECTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS 
  To develop effective 
    recommendations, perform the following key steps 
  
    -  Write the problem statement
 
    - Describe the history of the 
      problem.
 
    - State the solution options that 
      would correct the problem?
 
    - Describe the consequences 
      as a cost vs benefit analysis.
 
  
  Describe the type of accident 
    that might result from inaction. 
  To help educate decision-makers 
    it's important to describe the type of accident that might result if corrective 
    actions aren't taken. The accident designations below are useful in describing 
    the types of accidents that might result if hazards are not corrected.
  
    - Struck-by. A person is 
      forcefully struck by an object. The force of contact is provided by the 
      object.
 
    - Struck-against. 
      A person forcefully strikes an object. The person provides the force or 
      energy.
 
    - Contact-by. 
      Contact by a substance or material that, by its very nature, is harmful 
      and causes injury.
 
    - Contact-with. 
      A person comes in contact with a harmful substance or material. The person 
      initiates the contact.
 
    - Caught-on. A person or 
      part of his/her clothing or equipment is caught on an object that is either 
      moving or stationary. This may cause the person to lose his/her balance 
      and fall, be pulled into a machine, or suffer some other harm.
 
    - Caught-in. A person or 
      part of him/her is trapped, or otherwise caught in an opening or enclosure.
 
    - Caught-between. A person 
      is crushed, pinched or otherwise caught between a moving and a stationary 
      object, or between two moving objects.
 
    - Fall-To-surface. A person 
      slips or trips and falls to the surface he/she is standing or walking on.
 
    - Fall-To-below. A person 
      slips or trips and falls to a level below the one he/she was walking or 
      standing on.
 
    - Over-exertion. A person 
      over-extends or strains himself/herself while performing work.
 
    - Bodily reaction. Caused 
      solely from stress imposed by free movement of the body or assumption of 
      a strained or unnatural body position. A leading source of injury.
 
    - Over-exposure. Over a 
      period of time, a person is exposed to harmful energy (noise, heat), lack 
      of energy (cold), or substances (toxic chemicals/atmospheres).
