Power and Water Magazine GineersNow - How Wastewater Treatment Plants Help Keep Our Water Clean

Wastewater treatment plants play a vital role in keeping our water clean. These plants remove harmful pollutants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants use a variety of methods to remove pollutants from wastewater. These methods include physical, chemical, and biological processes. Physical processes involve the removal of large particles from wastewater using screens or filters. Chemical processes involve the use of chemicals to remove dissolved pollutants from water. Biological processes use bacteria and other microorganisms to break down organic matter in wastewater. Wastewater treatment plants are important for protecting our water resources. These plants help to remove harmful pollutants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment.

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 in Wastewater

Treatment Plants

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).

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.

<iframe width=”560” height=”315” src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/OabjhyvBe6w”

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.
