MANAGEMENT
Case 1: Factory Safety & Ethics
As a production manager, safety is at the core of my engagements in the production
factory. Safety and ethical regulations cannot be ignored and are needed so as to protect the
lifes of the workers in it. Most of the accidents that occur in a factory can be minimized while
most of the requirements are looked into. It is necessary to note that safety is important not
only to the workers but also to the factory ownership as it tries to mitigate against frivolous
compensation that could be avoided. It is correct to calculate the estimate of the fire alarm
installation, the cost of its maintenance and the selection of the most effective equipment
models largely depends on the fire alarm design of the warehouse meeting all the existing
norms and rules of fire safety (Amyotte & Lupien, 2017)..
Content
 Basic principles of design
 Requirements for the Fire Safety Project
 Fire alarm design at a separate warehouse facility
 Features of the installation of individual elements of the system
The starting point for the development of a fire alarm project for a warehouse facility is
the classification of the warehouse for its intended purpose. Fire safety requirements for
various types of storage facilities classify objects not only in terms of volume, height and
conventional storage units, first of all objects are classified according to the degree of
explosion risk and the danger of occurrence and spread of fire (Kirezieva et al,2016).
This qualification depends on what material values are planned to be stored indoors.
The main document, according to which the objects of the warehouse fund are classified, are

MANAGEMENT
All-world standards of technological design, namely the section Definition of the categories
of rooms and buildings for explosion risk (Ho & Chen, 2018). Depending on the hazard
category, a fire alarm and warning system is selected. The design of the fire safety system of
a warehouse should take into account:
Reliability of work in various conditions of the fire alarm system;
Simplicity of installation and tincture as separate elements - detectors, sensors and
control panels, and the whole system as a whole; The maximum coverage of the warehouse
area, directly storage areas for storage of material values and office space located inside the
warehouse and adjacent buildings;
Plot layout and floor plan of the warehouse complex;
Layout of laying of external and internal fire water pipelines, size The scheme of the
main and backup power supply of the warehouse. The design of the safety alarm system at a
separate warehouse facility design, depending on the category of explosion and fire hazard an
individual fire alarm design is developed to meet the target designation of the facility (Kumar
et al 2016).

Case 2: Liquid Waste Management and Disposal
The organization of a rational system of collection, temporary storage, regular export
of liquid domestic waste and cleaning of territories must meet the requirements of these
"Sanitary Rules for the Maintenance of Territories of Populated Areas.

MANAGEMENT
The system of sanitary cleaning and cleaning of the territories of populated areas
should provide for rational collection, rapid disposal, reliable disposal and economically
expedient disposal of domestic waste (domestic, including food waste from residential and
public buildings, trade enterprises, catering and cultural purposes liquid from uncalculated
buildings, street debris and estimates and other household waste that accumulates on the
territory of the settlement) in accordance with the General Scheme of the eyes of the
settlement, approved by the decision of the authority (Sinharoy, et al,2015).
To ensure the proper sanitary level of populated areas and more efficient use of the
fleet of special machines, household waste in cities should be removed through a single
centralized system by specialized transport utility companies of the executive committees of
People's Deputies. The organization of the planned regular system and the mode of disposal
of domestic wastes are determined on the basis of decisions of the executive committees of
the city Soviets of People's Deputies on the proposal of public utility bodies and institutions
of the sanitary and epidemiological service.
In the areas of existing buildings, the order of routine and regular cleaning is
established in coordination with local authorities and institutions of the Sanitary and
Epidemiological Service. In the newly built housing estates, centralized scheduled and
regular cleaning should be organized by the time the buildings are put into operation
(Richards, 2017).
Sanitary cleaning of individual facilities, as well as the residential area of various
departments, should be carried out if there is a special motor transport under the supervision

MANAGEMENT
and methodical guidance of waste management organizations of the utility system, according
to the schedules adopted for this locality.
In the temporary storage of waste in yard collections, the possibility of their decay
and decomposition should be excluded (Rhyner, et al,2017). No more than one day (daily
export). In each locality the frequency of disposal of liquid domestic waste is coordinated
with local institutions of the sanitary and epidemiological service. For the collection of liquid
household waste, standard metal containers should be used in a well-maintained housing
stock. In households without sewerage, it is allowed to use wooden or metal collections.
Placement of temporary storage of waste, especially in residential areas, must be agreed with
the district architect and district sanitary epidemiological stations. In exceptional cases , in
the areas of existing buildings where there is no possibility of observing established gaps
from household toilets, temporary storage of waste, these distances are established
commissions (with the participation of the district architect, housing maintenance
organization, quarter committee (Zhang, et al, 2017). On the territory of private households,
the location of garbage canals, yard latrines and garbage pits should be determined by the
homeowners themselves, the gap can be reduced to 8-10 meters.
