A
wastewater
treatment
plant is a facility
where sewage and
other water-borne
wastes are treated to remove
contaminants before being
released into the environment.
Wastewater treatment plants
come in a variety of sizes and
configurations, but all use
similar processes to clean
water.
Process
Wastewater Treatment Plants
(WWTPs) are designed to
remove pollutants from sewage
and industrial wastewater.
The process begins when the
sewage or wastewater is piped
into the WWTP.
The first step in the treatment
process is to screen the sewage
or wastewater to remove large
objects such as sticks, leaves,
and rags.
Next, the sewage or wastewater
is pumped into a grit chamber
where heavy particles such as
sand and gravel are removed.
After the grit chamber, the
sewage or wastewater enters
an aeration tank, where it is
mixed with bacteria and air.
The mixture is then pumped
into a sedimentation basin
where the solid waste settles
to the bottom, and the treated
water flows to the next stage of
treatment.
The final stage of treatment
consists of disinfecting the
water with chlorine before it is
discharged into a nearby body
of water.
Advantages
of contaminants in water
bodies. These facilities also
help to preserve water quality
for drinking, irrigation, and
recreation.
The Challenges
How Wastewater
Treatment Plants Help
Keep Our Water Clean
There are numerous challenges
associated with wastewater
treatment plants. One
challenge is the sheer volume
of wastewater that must be
treated.
Another challenge is the variety
of pollutants that must be
removed from the water.
Treatment plants must also
deal with the ever-changing
composition of wastewater, as
well as the possibility of toxic
substances entering the water
supply.
In addition, treatment plants
must contend with the fact
that not all wastewater can
be treated to the same
standards. Some effluent must
be discharged into receiving
waters without meeting all
effluent quality standards.
The challenges associated with
wastewater treatment can be
overcome by proper planning,
design, and operation of
treatment facilities.
However, it is important to
remember that there are
always potential risks involved
in treating wastewater.
One of the main advantages of
wastewater treatment plants is
that they help to protect public
health by reducing the amount

Water treatment

C O V E R
S T O R Y
What is Wastewater Treatment?
Wastewater treatment is the process of
removing contaminants from wastewater
using mechanical, chemical, or biological
processes. Wastewater can be contaminated
with a variety of pollutants, including chemicals,
oils, and debris. Wastewater treatment plants
are crucial for protecting public health and
the environment. They play an important
role in ensuring that wastewater is properly
treated and disposed of without contaminating
waterways.
How Does a Wastewater Treatment
Plant Work?
A wastewater treatment plant is a facility
that is used to treat wastewater. Wastewater
treatment plants use a variety of technologies
to remove pollutants from wastewater. Some
of the most common technologies used in
wastewater treatment plants are primary,
secondary, and tertiary processes.
Primary processes involve using natural
processes such as oxidation and biological
degradation to break down pollutants. Primary
processes are the least expensive option but
can be less effective at removing pollutants.
Secondary processes involve using physical
or chemical methods to break down pollutants.
Secondary processes are more expensive
than primary processes but can be more
effective at removing pollutants.
Tertiary processes involve using combinations
of primary and secondary processes to
effectively remove all types of pollutants.
Tertiary processes are the most expensive
option but can be the most effective at removing
all types of pollutants from wastewater.
The Step-By-Step Process of
Wastewater Treatment
1. Identification of the wastewater stream.
2. Collection of wastewater from the point of
discharge.
3. Preliminary treatment to remove
suspended and dissolved material.
4. Secondary treatment to remove pollutants
and odors.
5. Discharge of treated wastewater into a body
of water or another wastewater treatment
facility.
The wastewater treatment process begins with
the collection of wastewater from commercial
or residential sources. Wastewater is then
processed to remove contaminants and
disposed of in an appropriate manner.
Wastewater treatment plants use a variety
of methods to treat wastewater, including
primary, secondary and tertiary treatment.
Primary treatment uses a simple process
that separates water from contaminants by
contact or filtration. Secondary treatment
uses physical and chemical processes to
remove more complex pollutants. Tertiary
treatment uses advanced technologies such
as microorganisms to clean water molecules
of pollutants.
How Do Wastewater Treatment
Plants Remove Contaminants?
Wastewater treatment plants remove
contaminants by three primary methods:
adsorption, flocculation, and sedimentation.
Adsorption is the process of attaching
molecules to a surface to be removed.
Contaminants that are adsorbed onto the
plant’s surfaces will then be removed by the
plant’s filter systems.
Flocculation is the process of large water
droplets forming into small ones and
sedimentation is the deposition of solids from
a liquid. Wastewater treatment plants use
different types of filters to achieve these goals.
36

Sedimentation filters are designed to trap
large pieces of debris while flocculation filters
are designed to trap bacteria and other small
particles.
What Are Some Common Problems
With A Wastewater Treatment Plant?
Wastewater treatment plants are essential for
managing wastewater and ensuring compliance
with environmental regulations.
However, wastewater treatment plants can also
experience a number of common problems.
These problems can include leaks, overflows,
and poor plant performance due to high levels of
contaminants in the water.
In order to overcome these issues, wastewater
treatment plants typically require regular
maintenance and inspection.
What Can Be Done To Improve
The Performance Of A Wastewater
Treatment Plant?
Wastewater treatment plants can help to
improve water quality by removing pollutants
and contaminants from the wastewater stream.
However, wastewater treatment plants can also
struggle to meet certain performance criteria.
This can result in degraded water quality and
increased environmental pollution.
There are a number of ways that wastewater
treatment plants can be improved to improve
their performance.
First, wastewater treatment plants should be
designed with optimal equipment and facilities
for treating different types of water pollutants.
Second, proper maintenance and management
of the plant should be ensured to keep it running
at its best.
Finally, effective effluent discharge management
practices should be in place to prevent pollutants
from entering waterways untreated.
Why Should We Have a Wastewater
Treatment Plant?
The benefits of having a wastewater treatment
plant are many. A wastewater treatment plant
can help protect the environment by removing
37

S T O R Y
pollutants from wastewater before it is discharged
into rivers, lakes or oceans.
Wastewater treatment also helps reduce the
amount of waste that needs to be disposed of
in landfills. Finally, wastewater treatment plants
provide economic benefits by reducing the cost
of waste disposal.
What Are the Benefits of Having a
Wastewater Treatment Plant?
A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) helps
manage the city’s waste by transforming
pollutants and contaminants from human,
industrial and agricultural activities into safe
water and soils. Wastewater treatment plants
provide a number of benefits to city residents
and businesses, including:
Reduced environmental pollution - A WWTP
helps reduce environmental pollutants like PCBs,
nitrogen oxide, chlorine levels and fecal coliform
bacteria.
Improved public health - A WWTP is essential
for protecting the public’s health by removing
harmful contaminants from wastewater.
Enhanced economic development - A WWTP can
help spur economic development by attracting
new businesses that rely on clean water supplies.
What Are the Risks of Having a
Wastewater Treatment Plant?
There are many risks associated with wastewater
treatment plants. One of the most common is
that untreated wastewater can contain harmful
bacteria and chemicals that can contaminate
water supplies.
Additionally, untreated wastewater can also
cause environmental damage by releasing toxins
into the environment. Wastewater treatment
plants are important to protect our environment,
but they also come with a number of risks.
How Can I Support Our Local
Wastewater Treatment Plants?
Wastewater treatment plants play a critical role in
our local communities by treating and disposing
of wastewater. These plants help protect our
environment and waterways, while providing
important economic benefits to the area. It is
important to support these vital facilities by
keeping them clean and functioning properly.
This can be done by following the instructions
that are posted at the plant, as well as biannually
inspecting the plant for any signs of problems.
Additionally, donating money to the plant or
sponsoring a fundraiser can go a long way
in helping it stay operational and improving
the quality of wastewater treatment in your
community.
Antimicrobial Resistant Genes and
Wastewater Treatment Plants
Emerging evidence suggests that antimicrobialresistant
genes and organisms are being
transferred from wastewater treatment plants
(WWTPs) to the environment. This is of a global
public health concern as these genes and
organisms can contaminate water supplies and
potentially cause serious infections in people.
There are a number of ways in which
antimicrobial-resistant genes and organisms can
be transferred from WWTPs to the environment.
One way is through the release of treated effluent
into surface waters. This effluent can contain
a high concentration of antimicrobial-resistant
bacteria, which can then spread to other water
bodies via water currents.
Another way is through the discharge of sludge
from WWTPs. This sludge can contain high levels
of antibiotic resistance genes, which can spread
to soil and water systems when it is applied to
land as fertilizer.
Wastewater Treatment Plants: Surface
and Groundwater, Weathering and
Soils
Surface water and groundwater are two important
sources of water for human use. Groundwater is
48

C O V E R
S T O R Y
the water that seeps into the ground and is stored
in aquifers, while surface water is the water that
flows on the land surface, such as in rivers and
lakes.
Weathering is the process by which rocks and
minerals are broken down by the action of wind,
rain, and other agents of weathering. Soils are
formed by the process of weathering and also
contain organic matter that has been added by
plants and animals.
Wastewater treatment plants are designed to
remove pollutants from wastewater before it
is discharged into surface waters or reused.
There are many different types of wastewater
treatment plants, but all have the common goal
of protecting human health and the environment.
Latest Trends in ARGs measured
by HT-qPCR platforms: Wastewater
Treatment Plants
The use of wastewater treatment plants has been
on the rise in recent years as more and more
countries look to clean up their water sources.
This has led to a need for more sophisticated
wastewater treatment plants that can handle the
increased load.
One way to measure the efficiency of these
plants is through the use of HT-qPCR platforms.
HT-qPCR platforms are able to provide accurate
and reliable data on the levels of contaminants
in wastewater. This information is then used to
improve the efficiency of the plant.
In addition, HT-qPCR platforms can also be used
to monitor trends in contaminant levels over time.
The use of HT-qPCR platforms is becoming
increasingly common in wastewater treatment
plants around the world. This is due to the fact
that they provide accurate and reliable data that
can be used to improve plant efficiency.

Microplastics are a type of plastic that is smaller
than 5mm. They can be found in many different
products, such as cosmetics, food packaging,
and even some clothes. Microplastics can end
up in our environment and eventually in our
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
When microplastics enter WWTPs, they can
cause problems with the plant’s equipment. They
can also end up in the sludge that is produced by

the WWTP. The sludge is often used as fertilizer,
which means that microplastics can end up in
our food supply.
There are some methods that can be used to
remove microplastics from WWTPs, but they
are not always effective. More research needs
to be done to find a way to remove microplastics
from our environment before they cause more
damage.
How To Get Rid of Quinolone
Antibiotics from Wastewaters and
Sewage Sludge
The removal of quinolone antibiotics from
wastewaters and sewage sludge can be achieved
through a number of wastewater treatment
processes. Advanced wastewater treatment
plants that use activated sludge or Membrane
Bioreactors (MBR) are able to remove these
antibiotics to levels below the detection limit.
Aerobic digestion is another option for the
removal of quinolone antibiotics from sewage
sludge. This process can achieve a reduction in
these compounds of up to 99%.
The removal of quinolone antibiotics from
wastewater and sewage sludge is important in
order to protect the environment and human
health. These antibiotics can have a negative
impact on the growth of aquatic plants and
animals and can also lead to the development of
antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
How to Get Rid of Antimicrobial
Resistance Determinants from
Wastewater
The World Health Organization has classified
antimicrobial resistance as a global health
emergency. The rise in antibiotic-resistant
infections has been attributed to the use of
antibiotics in both humans and animals, as well
as the release of untreated wastewater from
sewage treatment plants.
There are a number of conventional and
emerging technologies that can be used to
remove antibiotic resistance determinants from
wastewater. Conventional treatment methods,
such as chlorination and UV disinfection, are
effective at removing most bacteria and viruses.
However, these methods may not be effective
against all types of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Emerging technologies, such as advanced
oxidation processes (AOPs) and nanofiltration,
show promise for the removal of antibiotic
resistance determinants from wastewater.
Wastewater Treatment Plants and
Artificial Intelligence
Sustainable management of wastewater
treatment plants is a critical issue for many
industries. Artificial intelligence techniques can
help to optimize the operation of these facilities
and improve their sustainability. Wastewater
treatment plants are responsible for treating
water that has been used in homes, businesses,
and industries. This water may contain pollutants
that can harm the environment or human health
if it is not properly treated.
Wastewater treatment plants use a variety of
methods to remove these pollutants from the
water before it is discharged into the environment.
Artificial intelligence techniques can be used
to optimize the operation of wastewater
treatment plants. These techniques can help
to identify operational problems and potential
improvements that can be made to the facility.
AI-based systems can also be used to monitor
the performance of wastewater treatment plants
and provide data that can be used to improve
their sustainability.
Wastewater Treatment Plants and
Global Climate Change
Water treatment plants remove contaminants
from municipal wastewater using a variety of
technologies. Wastewater treatment plants can
have a significant impact on local and global
climate change, depending on their construction
and operation.

C O V E R
S T O R Y
The overall function of wastewater treatment
plants is to reduce the volume and toxicity of
wastewater, but this task has an impact on local
climate. In temperate climates, the water used
in wastewater treatment comes from rainfall or
snowmelt; in hot climates, treated water often
comes from desalination. The physical removal
of pollutants by the plant requires energy and
releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
In some cases (such as nitrification), these
emissions can produce potent greenhouse
gases like nitrogen oxide (NOx).
In order to mitigate these impacts, many
wastewater treatment facilities are now installing
air pollution scrubbers to capture NOx before
it reaches the atmosphere. These scrubbers
can be expensive to install and maintain, so it
is important to weigh the benefits of reducing
pollutants against the cost.
How Wastewater Treatment Plant
Can Help Remove Pharmaceutical
Contamination
Pharmaceuticals are increasingly being detected
in water bodies around the world. This is due to
the growing use of these drugs by humans and
their release of them into the environment through
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The
presence of pharmaceuticals in water can pose a
risk to human health and the environment. Some
drugs can interfere with the normal functioning of
hormones, while others may promote the growth
of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
There is a need for further research on the fate
and transport of pharmaceuticals in WWTPs, as
well as their potential impacts on human health
and the environment. In the meantime, it is
important to ensure that WWTPs are operated
properly, and that effluent is properly treated
before it is released into receiving waters.
Wastewater Treatment and Water
Reclamation
The wastewater treatment process is designed
to clean water of pollutants and solids, making
it safe for reuse. Wastewater is collected from
households, businesses, and other institutions,
and then treated before being released into
the environment. The various wastewater
treatment plants use a variety of technologies to
treat wastewater and release water that meets
environmental standards.
Water reclamation is the process of recovering
usable water from wastewater. This can be
done by treating the wastewater with energy
to break down chemicals, or by using wetlands
or anaerobic digestion to extract groundwater.
Water reclamation can help reduce the amount of
freshwater needed for municipal use, conserve
resources such as energy and land, and create
new jobs in related industries.
Who are the People Responsible
For Making Sure That Wastewater Is
Treated Properly?
Wastewater treatment plants are responsible for
ensuring that wastewater is treated properly to
protect the environment and public health. The
people who make sure wastewater is treated
properly include plant operators, engineers, and
scientists.
The environmental protection system ensures
that harmful pollutants are eliminated before they
reach our waterways. This includes removing
solids and liquids, as well as reducing air pollution
levels to safe levels
How Treat Wastewater and Make It Safe
For Discharge?
There are many ways to treat wastewater before
it is discharged into the environment. The most
common type of treatment is at a wastewater
treatment plant. There, the water is treated
with chemicals and then filtered to remove any
impurities. The water is also treated with bacteria
to break down any organic matter. This process
makes sure that the water is safe to discharge
into rivers, lakes, and streams.
In order to make wastewater safe for discharge,
cities treat it using a variety of methods depending
on the type of treatment plant. The first step is

usually to screen the water to remove any large
objects. Then, the water is passed through a
grit chamber, where heavier particles settle at
the bottom. After that, it enters an aeration tank
where the air is injected to encourage bacterial
growth. The bacteria help break down organic
matter in the water. Finally, the water is passed
through filters where any remaining particles
are removed before being discharged into the
environment.
Local Communities and Wastewater
Treatment
Wastewater Treatment Plants are key in making
sure that small communities have safe water
to discharge. There are many different types of
treatment plants, but all follow a similar process.
First, the wastewater is collected and then goes
through a series of filtration processes.
Next, the water is treated with chemicals to
remove any harmful bacteria or viruses.
Finally, the water is discharged into the
environment.
There are many benefits to having a Wastewater
Treatment Plant in a small community. Not only
does it make the water safe for discharge, but it
also helps to protect the environment. By treating
the water before it is discharged, we can help to
reduce pollution and keep our waterways clean.
The Septic System
Most homeowners don’t give their septic system
a second thought until something goes wrong.
So, how do these systems work, and why do
they fail?
Septic systems are common in rural areas where
there is no central sewer system. They are also
used in some urban areas as an alternative to
a central wastewater treatment plant. Septic
systems are underground tanks that collect
sewage from homes and businesses. The
sewage is treated and then released into the
ground.
There are three main types of septic systems:
aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative. Aerobic
septic systems have a pump that oxygenates
the sewage, which speeds up the decomposition
process. Anaerobic septic systems do not have
a pump and rely on bacteria to break down the
sewage. Facultative systems use a combination
of aerobic and anaerobic processes.

Is There an Eco-Friendly Method To
Treat Wastewater?
Yes, there are many natural ways to treat
wastewater. Wastewater Treatment Plants
(WTPs) are designed to remove pollutants from
sewage, stormwater runoff, and other types of
water. WTPs use a variety of physical, chemical,
and biological processes to clean water.
One natural way to treat wastewater is through
the use of wetlands. Wetlands are areas of land
that are saturated with water. Wetlands can be
found in many different climates and ecosystems.
They can be used to treat wastewater by filtering
out pollutants and providing a habitat for plants
and animals.
Another natural way to treat wastewater is through
the use of constructed wetlands. Constructed
wetlands are man-made systems that mimic the
functions of natural wetlands. They can be used
to remove pollutants from sewage, stormwater
runoff, and other types of water.

C O V E R
S T O R Y
Can Wastewater Pollute The Sources
of Our Drinking Water?
Wastewater treatment plants are designed to
remove pollutants from sewage before it is
discharged into the environment. However, these
plants can also pollute drinking water sources if
they are not properly operated and maintained.
There are several ways that wastewater treatment
plants can pollute drinking water sources. One
way is through direct discharge of untreated or
only partially treated sewage into surface waters.
This can happen when plant operators bypass
treatment processes or fail to properly maintain
the facilities. Another way is through indirect
discharge of treated sewage into groundwater
through leaks in sewage pipes or seepage from
storage ponds or lagoons. This can contaminate
private wells and public water supply wells.
Wastewater treatment plants are designed to
remove harmful substances from wastewater
before it is discharged into the environment.
However, these treatment processes can only
remove certain substances and do not eliminate
all pollutants.
Some of the most common pollutants that remain
in treated wastewater include nutrients, bacteria,
viruses, and chemicals. These pollutants can
pollute drinking water sources if they are not
properly managed. Nutrients like nitrogen and
phosphorus can promote the growth of algae
and other aquatic plants. When these plants
die, they decompose and release toxins that can
contaminate drinking water supplies. Bacteria
and viruses can also cause sickness when they
come into contact with humans.
Can Wastewater Treatment Plants
Remove Toxic Chemicals of Industrial
Wastes?
As the world progresses, the industry does as
well. Unfortunately, with this progress comes
an increase in waste production, specifically
industrial waste. This type of waste can be
extremely harmful to the environment and
public health if not disposed of properly. So, the
question is: can public wastewater treatment
plants remove all of those toxic chemicals?
The short answer is yes, but it depends on the
type of wastewater treatment plant. There are
three main types of wastewater treatment plants:
activated sludge, trickling filters, and rotating
biological contactors. All three types are effective
in removing different types and concentrations of
pollutants.
It is important to note that not all industrial
wastewaters are created equal. Some may
contain only a few pollutants while others may
contain many different types and concentrations
of pollutants. This makes it difficult to say that
one type of wastewater treatment plant is better
than another.
Why Do We Need To Treat Wastewater?
Wastewater treatment is essential for protecting
public health and the environment. Wastewater
treatment plants remove pollutants from sewage
and household wastewater so that they can be
safely returned to the environment.
Pollutants removed from wastewater include
harmful bacteria, viruses, nutrients, chemicals,
and solids. Without wastewater treatment, these
pollutants would pollute our air, water, and land.
This would lead to increased cases of illness,
lower water quality, and damage to plant and
animal life. In some cases, untreated wastewater
can even cause death.
The Impact of Wastewater Pollutants
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has identified four major types of wastewater:
sanitary, storm, industrial, and hazardous. Each
type requires different methods of treatment
before discharge into the environment.
Sanitary wastewater comes from toilets,
showers, sinks, and other sources of domestic
water use. It is usually treated with physical
processes such as sedimentation and filtration,
followed by disinfection with chlorine or ultraviolet
light.

Stormwater is runoff from rain or snowmelt
that can picks up pollutants such as oil, grease,
heavy metals, and pesticides as it flows over the
land surface.
Industrial wastewater includes process water
from manufacturing facilities as well as cooling
water and boiler blowdown from power plants.
Hazardous waste is also considered industrial
wastewater. This type of wastewater requires the
most advanced treatment technologies because
it may contain a wide variety of toxic chemicals.
Equipment Used in Wastewater
Treatment Plants
There are many different types of equipment
used in these plants, each with its own specific
purpose.
The first type of equipment is the primary
treatment stage. This stage removes large pieces
of debris from the wastewater. This is done using
a screen or a grit chamber.
The next stage is secondary treatment. This
stage uses bacteria to break down organic
matter in the wastewater.
Finally, there is tertiary treatment. This stage
disinfects the water and removes any remaining
impurities. Each of these stages is important in
ensuring that the final product is clean and safe
to use. Without proper treatment, wastewater can
contain harmful bacteria and other contaminants
that can pose a serious health risk.
valuable resource for wastewater treatment
plants. By recycling wastewater, wastewater
treatment plants can help reduce the amount of
contaminated water that needs to be disposed
of.
Another trend in the wastewater treatment plant
industry is using artificial intelligence (AI) to make
decisions about how to treat water. AI can be
used to optimize processes and optimize waste
management strategies, which can save energy
and reduce environmental impact.
As the world becomes more environmentally
conscious, it is likely that more municipalities
will begin requiring their wastewater treatment
plants to use recycled water and AI technology
in order to meet stricter regulations. In fact,
some countries have even set deadlines for how
much-recycled water must be used in order for
a municipality to receive certification from an
organization like United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Conclusion
A wastewater treatment plant is a critical
component of the wastewater treatment process.

An Employee Was Injured
Onsite, Now What?
Imagine walking into work and seeing one of your worst nightmares unfolding in front
of your eyes: one of your employees is injured, and it looks serious. As the business
owner, you spring into action, ensuring that an ambulance has been called and that
all other employees are safe. After the chaos dies down, you’re left to wonder—
what happens next?
To prepare for such scenarios, employers should learn more about the workers comp
settlement process and the specific provisions of their workers’ comp insurance
policy.
Breaking Down Workers’ Comp Coverage
This form of insurance is required for businesses in every U.S. state besides Texas.
Depending on where your company operates, you may have the option to purchase
a policy from a private insurance provider. Some states, however, require companies
to invest in coverage from a state fund.
76

When workplace incidents occur, workers’ comp covers the
following:
• Medical expenses related to a workplace injury or illness
• A portion of the wages lost by the employee due to their injury and recovery time
• Compensation for any permanent injuries
• The cost of retraining
• In the case of a workplace fatality, benefits to their survivors
• Some policies may also cover the employer’s legal fees or a portion of settlement
should the employee reject the workers’ comp compensation package.
After a workplace injury occurs and the injured employee has received care, the
compensation process begins:
Step 1: The Employee Files a Claim
If an onsite or work-related accident results in an injury, the injured employee must
report it to their employer.
Once the employer is informed about the injury or illness, the employee has suffered,
they will issue the appropriate forms. The paperwork includes forms that will be issued to
the company’s insurance provider and the state’s compensation board. The documents
also include information about the employee’s rights and the benefits the compensation
provides.

Protection for You, and Your Employees
Workplace injuries are unfortunate and difficult to deal with; however, they are not uncommon.
While you may not want to think of this reality, as an employer, it’s your responsibility to
prevent workplace injury, provide workers’ comp coverage, and to respond appropriately
should an accident occur.
Fortunately, workers’ compensation insurance provides a clear path forward when injuries
happen. The design of workers’ comp coverage is twofold: it protects employees by
guaranteeing compensation and care, and it protects employers from financial ruin should
a costly accident arise.
To secure the well-being of your business and employees, be sure to regularly review your
workers’ comp policy and consider an upgrade.

Engineering Careers:
Coping with On the Job
Travel
For professional engineers, visiting all sorts of sites and locations worldwide can
be a regular fixture of their job. In fact, some end up spending so much time away
from home that they abandon having a central base of actions altogether. However,
as anyone that is regularly away from home will tell you, on the job travel can be
draining. The good news is that there are some smart tactics you can use to make the
experience go as smoothly as possible. Therefore, ensuring you are well-rested enough to
supply the accuracy and good judgment that working as an engineer requires.
Choose a carry on only.
It may seem simple, but opting to cake just a carry on can save you a great deal of time
and hassle when travelling by plane for work. In fact, it means that you don’t have to check
in your luggage beforehand. Also, you won’t have to suffer through the long wait until the
84

baggage carousel springs into motion once your flight is over. Therefore allowing you to meet
your clients or make your transport link to the sites on which you will be working much more
quickly and efficiently.

frameborder=”0” allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-inpicture”
allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can also be sure that any valuable equipment or necessary plans and blueprints that you
are carrying are safe. After all, apart from a brief jaunt through the x-ray machine will remain
with you at all times.
Stay organised and in contact.
Next, if you find yourself travelling from one location to the next, it can be tough to stay in
contact with your clients and customers. Not to mention your nearest and dearest. In fact,
combine this with a situation where a client needs to send physical documents, and you can
have a real problem if you have no single physical base of operations.
Luckily, there is a tactic that you can use to work around such an issue. Is it to use a service
like the one physicaladdress offers. This is because it allows real-life mail to be sent to one
professional address. Then the contents are digitally scanned and forwarded to you online.
This means that no matter where your engineering work takes you, you can be sure you won’t
miss any critical client correspondence. In turn, that means you won’t have to deal with the
delay in projects that this can cause, either.
Opt for an upgrade where possible.
When it comes to engineering as a career, to operate effectively, you must be well-rested
enough to be accurate in your measurements and calculations. You also need to be alert
enough to truly hear what your client is saying to you concerning the problems you need to
solve.
Of course, being stuck on a cramped, a noisy, long haul flight isn’t conducive to these states in
any way. That is why, wherever possible, it’s best to upgrade to business class. At least then,
you will have the facilities to hand that you need to get a decent rest. Thus allowing you to be
on top of your game, as you touch down in your next location.

5 Tips for When You
Marry Military Engineer
Marrying someone in the military
means making sacrifices that a
traditional married person might
not have to make. That might
mean moving around a lot and being home
by yourself or with the children for months
at a time. Finding ways to cope with being a
military engineer spouse can help make the
transition from civilian life a little bit easier.
Here are five tips to take into consideration
when you marry someone in the military.
1. Learn to Cope During
Deployment Periods
You may have to go months without seeing
your spouse during deployment, so consider
how you’ll manage your home, bills and other
responsibilities on your own. You might be
living far away from your family, so you’ll have
to get used to doing things on your own, such
as cleaning the house, doing the laundry and
taking care of the children. On the plus side,
you’ll be able to enjoy military benefits, such
as military engineer pay, military engineer
spouse and family healthcare, a basic
allowance for housing (BAH), recreation
benefits and childcare benefits.
2. Get Used to Moving Around
It’s a well-known fact that military families
often move around a lot, which can be quite
a challenge, especially if you have children.
88

You’ll have to deal with helping them transition
from school to school and making new friends
all over again. You might get homesick when
moving to a new place, but on the positive
side of things, you’ll get to experience
different parts of the country (or maybe even
the world), which could mean you’ll always
have an interesting story to tell. Try to find the
silver lining and keep an open mind whenever
you move to a new place.
3. Find the Right Insurance
Coverage
The last thing you want is to break down on the
side of the road when your spouse and family
are miles away and can’t do anything to help
you, especially if you have your little ones in
the car with you. That’s why finding the right
insurance coverage is of utmost importance.
With USAA, you’ll get a comprehensive auto
insurance policy that saves you hundreds
of dollars each year compared to other
providers. You’ll also get accident forgiveness
and plenty of options based on your vehicle
and your driving record. You can also bundle
your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to
save up to 10 percent.
4. Get Help Raising Your Family
Raising children in the military is different than
raising children in civilian life. You’ll have to
explain why your spouse is gone so often,
which might not be easy, depending on how
old your children are. You’ll also have the bulk
of parental responsibilities. Not to mention,
you’ll also have to deal with disciplining them
on your own and making sure their emotional
needs are met. You’ll be responsible for
teaching your children right from wrong and
how to care for themselves as they grow. All of
this can be overwhelming, especially during
deployment when the sole responsibility falls
in your lap. Get the help you need from family
members (if possible) or outside help from a
nanny using your military engineer benefits.
5. Continue to Pursue Your Own
Interests
Make time to get out and meet new people,
because being a military engineer spouse can
be lonely sometimes. Find your own interests
and hobbies to pursue so that you don’t
spend all of your time waiting for your spouse
to get back. It’s perfectly okay to have a life
of your own while your spouse is deployed.
Whether you decide to join a book club, learn
to play an instrument, take a writing class or
join an improv class, you can find something
that interests you outside of your marriage.
Get someone to watch the children at least
once a week so that you can take some time
for yourself to do what you enjoy doing.
Adjusting to Life as a Military
Engineer Spouse
Marrying someone in the military doesn’t mean
you’ll always be alone. It just means making
certain life adjustments. You’ll get to make
new friends all over the world, learn about
different cultures and enjoy all of the benefits
that come with being a military spouse. You’ll
also learn to be more independent and be
more inclined to pursue outside interests.
Marrying military also means finding ways to
care for and protect your loved ones, whether
that means hiring help or finding the right auto
insurance.

What is Operational
Definition
If you’re someone who is constantly working in quantifying different kinds of data, then
you’re going to want to know what operational definition is.
In essence, when the phrase “operational definition” is used in terms of data, it refers to a
concise and thorough definition of the measurement. To better explain this, it means that all
parts of your data collection will be explicitly explained.
Operational definition can be used for collecting a wide variety of data points and it can be
essential for knowing the true metrics of the data points. Operational definition can be most
usefill when there is a dispute after the data is collected about whether or not all of the data
points were collected correctly. It can even be used for visual data points and it can help with
visual checks if multiple data collectors are arguing about any points of confusion.
Operational definition is most helpful when it is fully outlined before any of the data collection
begins. Then there will be no confusion amongst team members about what data points
count for what.
When Can Operational Definition Be Used?
Operational definition can be used almost anytime that data is going to be collected. It will
save researchers a significant amount of time in the long run since everyone will be on the
92

same page from the very beginning. It will also ensure that the results that come back from all of
the tests are accurate.
It is extremely important that the operational definition be as detailed as possible because everyone
has a different perception of the world, including each of your researchers. To avoid confusion,
you’ll want to make the instructions as detailed as humanly possible.
There are six key points to include in your operational definition to ensure that your instructions
are clear.
Steps To Create the Perfect Operational Definition
1) Determine What the Test Is Revolving Around
Your team will need to know what characteristic is being measured.
2) Select Your Measuring Instrument
The measuring instrument that you choose can be something physical such as a scale to measure
weight or a clock to determine the amount of time that has passed. However, the measuring
instrument can also be a visual test. If you’re ever going to use eyesight as the measuring tool of
choice, you’ll want to express if normal eyesight will work or if a magnifying glass will be needed
as well.
3) Explicitly Explain The Testing Method
This is the part where the actual test will be explained in depth so your researchers are fully aware
of what is going on. You’ll want to explain what measurements the tests are taking place in as well.
4) State How Decisions Should Be Made
Tell all of your researchers what they should be determining at the end of the test and how they
should be determining it. If this isn’t clearly defined, then the test won’t bring about accurate results.
5) Check That Your Researchers Understand The Operational Definition
Once you have all the other metrics in place, check with your researchers to make sure that they
understand all of the metrics as they should be taking place.

How to Choose Durable
Brown Work Boots Online
Work boots have been used for ages by various professionals mainly, outdoor
workers, laborers and farmers. Though the markets today are flooded with fancy
options, classic sturdy work boots have their takers. A good pair of boots is a
must-have for every stylish man. These stylish and versatile boots can be paired
with your semi-casual as well as casual wardrobe. If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of
shoes that’ll work well for an outdoor job and also look classy when dressed up, we’ve got you
covered. You can buy brown work boots online here.
Functional work boots today are not only used for outdoor work but can be paired with jeans and
a T-shirt for a casual look. To pick out your favorite pair of work boots, follow these suggestions
given below.
Tips on Choosing the Right Durable Brown Work Boots Online
1. Types of Work Boots: You can choose from the main types of work boots; lace up and pull
on work boots. Lace up boots give more support to the feet and the fit can be adjusted through
the lace. Pull on boots don’t have laces and are mostly waterproof. They are used by outdoor
workers like welders, construction workers and firefighters.
2. Good Quality: Since work boots never go out of style, buying a good quality and durable
pair of work boots can be a good investment. While choosing, look for the material of its
composition. Leather boots are extremely durable and since they tend to take on the shape
96

of your feet, they are very comfortable too. For
best quality, go for the full grain leather boots.
These can be identified by their grainy, rugged
texture. Full grain leather is stronger and is likely
to last you for years to come. The craftsmanship
is another important factor that determines the
quality of boots. A well-crafted pair of shoes
tend to last longer.
3. Check the Soles: While buying work boots,
ensure that your shoes are well cushioned and
your feet are pain-free as you work through your
day. Look for cement constructed boots for
improved shelf life. Most work boots come with
replaceable insoles. A good arch supporting
insole not only keeps you comfortable but also
protects you from knee and joint pains. Outdoor
workers should opt for slip resistant soles to
avoid slipping in work areas.
4. Look out for the safety features: Given that
work boots are mostly worn by men who work
outdoors like engineers on a construction site,
most of them come with various safety features
like steel caps to provide safety. Features like
an anti-slip sole, water resistance and electric
shock resistance are some of the sought-after
features to look out. Choose a pair that provides
good protection to your feet.
5. Comfort: Comfort is one of the most important
things to look for, while buying work boots. Since
work boots may take a while to break in and fit
smoothly, to ensure maximum comfort, find a
work boot that fits you well. To buy the correct
fit online, measure your foot size in centimeters
and then match it to the size chart. In case, one
foot of yours is slightly bigger than the other, go
for the larger foot size. For a comfortable fit, the
toe cap should fit well and your arches should
be comfortable. Lace boots provide better foot
support and are easily adjustable.
Styling your Work Boots
Once worn primarily by workers, these chunky
boots have been fashionably adopted by
suave, fashion forward men. Most work boots
are versatile and can be styled in various ways.
Pair your tan work boots with heavy selvedge
denim for a casual look. Since these boots are
masculine, they go well with military inspired
jackets, flannel shirts and jumpers. Work boots
have a rugged look and shouldn’t be paired with
formals like formal trousers.
Conclusion
A good pair of work boots is durable and can
be used for ages. While buying a new pair,
look out for the quality of the material and its
craftsmanship to ensure you buy pair that stays.
Since work boots often take a while to break in,
it’s advisable to wear thick socks with it to avoid
discomfort and blisters. As work boots are low
maintenance, they just require cleaning once
in a while. When dirty, dust them off with a dry
piece of cloth.
Finally, if you plan to buy durable work boots
online, don’t just go for what looks good.
Additionally, make sure you know the material
composition, the type of sole, the safety features
and most importantly it fits you well!

Top 5 Things to Do
After an Accident
The aftermath of a car accident ranges from emotional to outright traumatic.
There’s a lot of adrenaline flowing, and that’s true even if no one is seriously
hurt. That’s why you need to know now what to do if you’re in a car wreck.
Here are the top 5 things to do after an auto accident. We’ll also explain
why these actions matter so much.
Check for Injuries
Once you’ve stopped, start checking yourself and others for injuries. If it is safe
to do so, check those in the other car for injuries. If anyone is seriously injured,
call 911 and request an ambulance. If it is necessary, you may need to get to
safety. For example, a car that’s been thrown into ongoing traffic may get hit
again. If you can, move the car out of the way of oncoming vehicles. However,
that’s a lower priority than taking care of anyone who is hurt.
100

Document As Much As Possible Yourself
Don’t leave everything in the hands of the police. Take pictures of your car
from all sides. Take pictures of their car, as well. Don’t forget to get a picture
of their license plate in case they give you false information or are driving
someone else’s car. Take a picture of their driver’s license and insurance card,
because this is probably more accurate than hand-written notes. Capture the
current road conditions, in case this is relevant to determining fault later. Take
pictures of cross-streets to prove where you were. Ask everyone involved for
their contact information, in case you need them to make witness statements
later.
A side benefit of documenting all of this yourself is that it ensures you have
this information in case the other person leaves before a police report can be
made.
Call the Police
In some states, you’re required to report any accident, including fender benders,
to the police. This allows them to fill out an accident report and document the
scene. In the rest of the country, you want the police report so that you have a
neutral third party account of the accident. Furthermore, only a police officer
can prove one of the parties is drunk or otherwise in violation of the law. If
the police decide not to come out, you’ve already documented as much as
possible.
Wait for Help
Always wait until everyone’s needs have been tended to. Do not leave after
calling for an ambulance. You’re legally required to stay until first responders
have arrived take care of the injured. If you have asked police to come out, you
can’t leave even if you think you’re not at fault.
When the police arrive, get their names and badge numbers. Try to get a copy
of the police report. If that’s not possible, find out the police report number.
Your insurance company may ask for that information when you file the claim.
Notify Your Insurer
Notifying your insurer is among the last things to do after an accident. You
could call them while you’re at the accident scene. They may be able to tell
you what information they need to speed up the claims process. Or they could
explain the claims process to you. This could help you pass the time while
waiting for help to arrive.
