Web-Based Questions
- Web-Based Question: Clean water
and government intervention. Go to www.epa.gov/ow/ to learn
about the Clean Water Act by selecting Laws and Regulations and then Clean
Water Act Summary. How does the Office of Water enforce the Act? In 1972 only
one-third of the nation’s waters were safe for fishing and swimming, wetland
losses were estimated at about 460,000 acres annually, and sewage-treatment
plants served only 85 million people. Have the Clean Water Act and the Office
of Water been successful in improving these numbers?
- Web-Based Question: Workplace safety-OSHA’s
role. Visit the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s website
at www.osha.gov. Select The Workers’ Page. What is OSHA’s general-duty
clause? Where is the nearest OSHA office to you? List three categories of
information available to workers that might help them learn more about possible
work hazards relating to their jobs.
