Job Title

CASE STUDY- Nadia works for a large plumbing business installing and repairing plumbing systems. She specializes in domestic plumbing and drainage and is well-known as a conscientious and skilled worker in her area. Nadia lives in a region with considerably more rain than the national average, and demand for her services has been high due to recent flooding and projected high rainfall in the next few weeks. Many of the houses in her area were built over 100 years ago, and drainage plans are often incomplete or unclear. Basements tend to be dirt-based. She has a full schedule and often works late nights and early mornings to meet her customers' needs. Three days ago, Nadia tripped at work and sprained her right ankle badly. She went to the Emergency Room, where doctors placed her in a moon boot and advised her to follow up with her GP for further instructions. What is the most likely job title for Nadia?

Environmental demands (e.g., weather, outside work, inside lighting, etc.)

Nadia faces several environmental demands related to her nature of work. First, the environmental demands entail indoor toxic materials and air pollutants. Entering a new modern building can be compared to putting your head in a plastic bag full of toxic fumes. Nadia is thus bound to face such environmental hazards during her work. Weather is also another essential environmental demand. Rainy seasons often affect the nature of the work plumbers do. These are also the busiest times plumbers have. During such seasons, water may pool in the shower, sink, or bathtub. Also, blockages often happen in the plumbing systems. Thus, experiencing an injury during rainy seasons can significantly affect Nadia's ability to meet the demands of her job.
