PLEASE NOTE: There are TWO parts to this discussion board. All parts must be completed to earn credit.
The progress report section of your Informational Report Project requires the use of at least two professionally appropriate sources. One of these sources must be an OSHA standard (Links to an external site.) and the other must be a professionally appropriate and credible source. For this discussion board, you will cite and discuss both of the sources you’ve chosen to fulfill this requirement.
Use the following resources to help you format your citations and reference list entries according to APA standards:
