The conflict is Hunting for elephants in Uganda.
the areas gazetted as forests and National Parks, these have animals like elephants which can pose as a danger to the surrounding environment, to the government you are not allowed to kill elephants since they are few and for tourism yet they destroy vegetation and can act as a threat to human life. -

the Tuna Dolphin case, a country can not pose restrictions on another because i consider that over stepping boundaries since each nation should have their own regulation, even when the US wanted to put a preservation on the dolphins, i feel that they didn't deserve to place a burn on Mexico and their intermediaries, they should however offer to teach and...

in my opinion both two scenarios hold both truth to some extent, The first yes, over exploitation is already happens where individuals have less land, they tend to over utilize all the necessary and available resources, however the population increase can not stop regardless of the different measures put in place.
scenario 2, its true individuals get to learn... -

a scenario where in Uganda a water source can be accessed via a private owners property, land can easily be faced out to deny access because the commons tend to trespass to a shorter route to the water point, in turn leads to destroying of plantations and crops.
Advice
the government or state should acquire access from those individuals to avoid conflict...

The preventive measures is
1) having a strong support and not stepping on a slippery ground.
2) stop working in the rain.
3) wearing PPE -
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
Risks involved
1) biological hazardous
These include Bacteria and viruses that can be available in the soil or clay being used, if the workers don't have PPE they are likely to have these bacteria have contact with them through the skin.
2) Noise.
The above process involves moving objects which create noise, hence a risk assessment should be carried out to... -

Tricky situation but,
1) I would explain to her the different chemical hazardous that are associated with her kind of work and their effects.
i.e
a)Reprotoxic substances
b) Carcinogen
c) Mutagen
d) Terategen
I would advise her to speak to her supervisor and they shift her to a less hazardous area. -

Indeed many people here in Uganda are under informal employment, and with many seeking for employment, declaring you are pregnant in some jobs is risking your job, this is mainly the so called "investors" in particular.
-
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
If a pregnant woman's got an abortion during their working period even after a risk assessment has been done, is it considered an occupational disease or work related?
-
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
Knowing that almost all this work is not very safe for the mother and the child, what would you advise a pregnant woman who works in a work area where occupational health is not their area of interest?

I think she should talk to the colleague that she doesn't feel comfortable about his comments and if he continues, she will report him. She should record the conversation as a witness, she can share with another trusted person.
She can later talk to the employer -
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
It's hard in our countries to even report harassment because 1) some jobs are actual and there is no contract signed in the first place and you can be fired immediately if reported.
2) there is no clear definition of what is considered harassment. -
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
Bringing a third party seems like a good solution yet doesn't reflect the qualities of a good leader but I would suggest that the leader
1) talks to the 2 parties, that it's very unpleasant for 2 old men to fight for a position in a workplace.
2) he should also give them the clear guidance on how one can qualify for the position so that they are all... -

I think this is a good topic and very interesting, sometimes these are like dreams yet some work environments actually have these in mind

Wow, thank u for the insight coz in most workplaces, u are replaced immediately if such a scenario happened. This course is helpful coz I intend to be a better employer/manager

When the workers are listened to, and they are give a voice to air their views.
When at work people are treated with dignity and not as dockeys. -

In Uganda, indeed work related skin disease is not widely known,
However much exposure is due to exposure to paints, washing clothes, industrial work.The employers should provide information and training on the work related skin diseases.
Use of PPE. -
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
Not yet, I am from Uganda, and we use asbestos, in roofing materials mainly. It's a shock that actually the so called investors import them and use them in Uganda coz they are durable, the cement too contains asbestos.

Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
Ok, this looks very interesting

Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
Automation is like substitution, so it's the way to go, it reduces the exposure levels.

In Uganda, not so safr either but they use pulleys, which is time saving but also reduces the risk. Some still use Ladders where they climb all the way to the top.

Does too much light have health impacts?

I think the labor inspector should be responsible to follow up coz they have comparison on the different work environments

Noise is protection is very important at any work place and should not be ignored as it creates hearing disorders.
1) employers should invest on training it's employees on the advantages of using PPEs,thats the hearing plugs. I appreciate their efforts to provide the rest but noise shouldn't be ignored.
2) information should be provided on the dangers for... -
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
This is great information, challenge is that some of us use blenders which have vibrations, need to find anti-vibration handles if they exist

Training are key for prevention of these kinds of diseases, health inspectors should also be employed to ensure that PPEs are used.

In Uganda, we have a workers compensation act which gives guidelines on how compensation is to made, in assistance with Administrator General. The employer is required to meet all the compensations however, I don't think it always done since there is a lot of informal employment in Uganda.

Electric wires, capable of being electrized.
B) an alternative way monitoring without direct contact with the bare wires, or provide PPEs -

In places where there are no labor inspector I think the work place should have HSE personals who ensure that the workers work in am environment conducive enough for them to deliver without damages.

wow, great insight. a system approach is a great deal for any project manager. they don't have to necessarily be experienced in all the fields, but have to have a idea of how it works, hence able to negotiate between the different parties.
-
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
In my kind of Job, Communication is very key, ethics and CPD are mandatory. the Gaps i feel are the negotiating since the milestones are laid and u just have to fulfill them that's it.
personal i feel i need to develop them all since i aspire to be a PM soon. -

1) This has been a mind opening course.
2) none of it.
3) this has been an interesting study and i must confess i expected a calculation kind of study but i appreciate the different school of thoughts and i have come to appreciate the different factors that make an ecosystem such a valuable entity. -
restrictions should be put for deforesting or cutting down a tree, one should have to get a license to cut down a tree.
a person should be encouraged to plant as many trees as possible.
REDD+ However is doing a great job. -
Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
i think REDD is doing a great work. people should also put into practice these aspects and not waiting for outside help. if each year at-least a person plants 10 trees, it helps in conserving the environment.

sometimes the things that seem not to have a price attached can be thought to be priceless yet the reason that it wasn't given price is because its more precious, that one would pay his life for it. for example oxygen, our Lord Jesus is the best example.

valuing nature is important however what best comparable data can we find?

Forests tend to be lower in my point of view since i believe trees are important in our supply of the air we breathe. i am more interested in the methodology thou.

Miracle Elizabeth made a comment
I come from Uganda, I would look at the forest near my district, they have threaten to actually remove it often times and replace it with a sugar plantation, however the locals often strike to save the forest, it helps in recreation since it harbors quite a number of birds, animals and also the weather near there is so cool, so i guess carbon-oxide is retained...

2 projects that failed badly wer due to

"Walking the project" helps you as a PM indentify areas were more resources are needed in terms of human, equipment and materials.
It also helps in engaging the team so that challenges are well addressed. It also gives a PM a feel of the project. -
identifying the strength in people is key. the team interaction is a great idea
