...Application Case 17-1: Campus Food Systems Cindy Breen is a new intern at a small self-operated food service program called Campus Food Systems(CFS). She has been tasked to prepare the Work Accidents in the Food Service Areas Report for the previous year. Cindy’s supervisor Jake has asked her to minimize the quantity and severity of the safety/health incidents that CFS has had over the last year. After reviewing the alternatives on how to handle this situation, Cindy should “prepare the report including all incident reports, previously unreported accidents, and Rick’s serious illness” (Ivancevich, 2010, p. 565). Then she needs to give the complete report to Fred White, CFS director and Jake’s supervisor (Ivancevich, 2010). Jake’s request to make the report’s statistics appear better than the truth creates an ethical challenge for Cindy. Jake suggested that her report will have an effect on her grade and future job recommendation. Regardless of this, Cindy needs to act with integrity and submit an honest report. According to Title 29 of the United States Code, Section 666 there are: criminal penalties for any person who knowingly makes a false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record, report, plan or other document filed, required to be filed, or required to be maintained pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Hagen). Considering that the report will be forwarded to both state and Occupational Safety and Health Administration...

...Case One – Tenneco MGT 410 October 10, 2014 PART 1: PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Tenneco is an oil rig company located off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. On an annual basis the company loses about 3 million dollars due to rig’s averaging 3 lost time injuries per month and 9 non-lost time injuries. In May 1987 one of the rigs reached a milestone of working one full year without a lot-time injury. The president of the company was so impressed with the crew on the rig that we flew in personally to present the crew with a bronze plaque. On top of that the crew was awarded prizes averaging about $200 which were to be delivered in July 1987. But in June 1987, Joe Herbert a supervisor on the rig informed the human resource that he had an unreported accident in November 1986 and due to the accident he is going to need back surgery. Even though it was the company’s policy to record all accidents this accident was not recorded. To make things worse Joe had at ATV accident in May and due to him not reporting the accident right away. PART 2: POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS There are four key issues that need to be addressed; should the crew still be awarded the prizes, ,why wasn’t the incident reported, is there any way to prove that Joe’s back injury is caused from the ATV accident verse the work incident, and lastly are there any other safety programs should be in place. The easiest issue to resolve is to decide if the crew should still be awarded the prizes. Should the crew still...

...RISK MANAGEMENT – AN AREA OF KNOWLEDGE FOR ALL ENGINEERS A Discussion Paper By: Paul R. Amyotte, P.Eng.1 & Douglas J. McCutcheon, P.Eng.2 Chemical Engineering Program Department of Process Engineering & Applied Science Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3J 2X4 2 1 Industrial Safety & Loss Management Program Faculty of Engineering University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2G6 Prepared For: The Research Committee of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers October 2006 SUMMARY The purpose of this paper is to “seed” the discussion by the Research Committee of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE) on the topic of risk management. The paper is in part a research paper and in its entirety a position paper. As can be inferred from the title, the authors hold the firm opinion that risk management is an area of knowledge with which all engineers should have familiarity and a level of competence according to their scope of practice. The paper first makes the distinction between hazard and risk. The two terms are often used interchangeably when in fact they are quite different. A hazard is a chemical or physical condition that has the potential to cause harm or damage to people, environment, assets or production. Risk, on the other hand, is the possibility or chance of harm arising from a hazard; risk is a function of probability and severity of consequences. A description of the process of risk management is then given....

...ec5.4 Health & Safety The addition of electric drive and large battery packs introduces several new potential hazards to the transit bus workplace. These hazards include electric shock, chemical burn, and explosion due to hydrogen build-up. All three hazards can be managed through a variety of design, monitoring, operational and maintenance procedures. Standards have been developed through National Electric Code (NEC), Federal Transit Authority (FTA), National Highway Safety Transportation Administration (NHSTA), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and others. Committees are working on several areas where holes exist in the standards.2 5.4.1 Electrical Shock There is a danger of electrical shock with any motor vehicle should a mechanic or passenger come into contact with a live circuit under normal or fault conditions. With hybrid-electric buses, contact can come from electricity during battery charging (AC current) or discharging (DC current). If contact is made, the extent of injury will depend on the size, duration, frequency, and wave shape of the current. Conventional diesel buses make use of 12/24vDC and 220/240vAC. Hybrid drive buses operate at levels of power up to 400vDC and 600 amps. However, the risk of electrical shock can be mitigated through proper engineering, labelling, and safe maintenance practices. SAE standards have been developed to minimize electrical hazards associated with the design and manufacture of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles....

...Safety Indicators in the Construction Industry Safety indicators in the construction industry can be used to promote cost effective strategies and significantly improve safe practice on construction sites. The main purpose of using indicators is to track safety measure and adjust for continuous improvement in the construction process results. Many types of measurements are performed today that focus on monitoring and recording critical process and end results of construction projects to yield a better definition of key performance indicators. Finding performance indicators is important because they can be measured and compared to real work processes and focus attention on creating efforts to change the work environment into a high level safety zone. Many companies have taken notice of OSHA and their research findings gathered on construction. OSHA has made clear that a positive way to handle improving site safety is to follow safety performance indicators. OSHA has promoted a technique using positive reinforcements and indicators to produce a more forthcoming worksite. An effective way to measure the performance of safety on the work site as suggested by OSHA is using a systems performance metrics. In doing this OSHA has solved problems such as how to measure the safety performance and how to determine the necessary indicators. “To effectively manage anything, you must first be able to successfully measure it-safety is no different and indicators are only accurate for safety...

...Implementing an Effective Risk Management Program The Guiding Principles of Risk Management (RM) A. Integrate RM into all phases of missions and operations. Effective RM requires that the process be integrated into all phases of mission or operational planning, preparation, execution, and recovery on a continuing basis. It is much more cost effective to plan up front during building construction and renovation to imbed safety, fire and environmental protection systems than to retro-fit after the fact. B. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level. As a decision-making tool, RM is only effective when the information is concentrated on the appropriate supervisory level for decision. The higher the risk, the higher the management level of who should make the decision to accept a risk or not. Often this will require the decision to apply resources, whether manpower, dollars or both, to mitigate risks to an acceptable level so the management decision-making level must be where the purse strings are controlled. C. Accept no unnecessary risk. Accept no level of risk unless the potential gain or benefit outweighs the potential loss. RM is a decision-making tool to assist the supervisor or individual in identifying, assessing, and controlling risks in order to make informed decisions that balance risk costs (potential losses) against mission benefits (potential gains). An unnecessary risk is one that if not taken, you can still accomplish the mission. For example...
