...co-workers has told me about the ongoing situation regarding the enormous amount of wood dust at the factory and how she saw three quick sparks in the air while she was operating her machine. Now, she is new at the factory and has been working at the factory for only two weeks which makes her afraid to speak up about the situation with anyone past the Section Manager which she did report the incident to. The Section Manager did not pay too much attention to her and told her not to worry about it. Now, the pressure is on me to make a decision on whether or not to report this to someone who will take care of the problem. I decide to speak to several people at the factory before I report the issues at the factory. I spoke to the Safety Coordinator and he basically told me to sit tight and wait until next month when he schedules a major clean up at the factory. I also speak to the Area manager which he tells me to not worry about anything since he has a plethora of experience in the field and recognizes a dangerous situation when he sees one. Speaking to Karen next provides me with a sense of urgency because she tells me she is nervous and how she saw a plant back in her hometown explode due to wood dust. Lastly, I speak to the owner of the factory and he tells me I cannot prove there is a real hazard in the company and that he will consider anything I say as slander to him and his company as well. He also tells me that he does take too well to disloyal employees which makes me hesitant to...

...recall coordinator would by no means be an easy task. However, if I were to put myself in that role, here is what I believe I would do following the eight-step method to ethical decision making. The first step is identifying the relevant facts. In the Pinto Fires Case, I believe there are six large facts that are the most relevant to determining whether a recall is the appropriate course of action. The first fact is that Ford Motor Company discovered the issue before the Pinto was released. With many recalls, the issues are not discovered until after the products in question are released, but Ford knew about this major issue and released the car anyways. The second crucial fact builds off the previous one – Ford knew how to fix the issue. They had found three possible solutions through their testing, but did not implement any of them. The third relevant fact is that Ford had shortened their amount of preparation time to release it earlier. This was something that had never been done before, so the fact that they cut down the amount of time they were spending on preparing this car by over a year was a recipe for disaster. The fourth fact to consider is the fact that Ford Motor Company was within the legal standards at the time. While Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 301 had been proposed, it had not been adopted, so Ford’s move was legal. Furthermore as the fifth fact, in the 1970s, consumers were not nearly as concerned with safety. In fact, Ford had previously...

The details of this case are alarming for a number of reasons and the most critical point that resonates throughout the entire paper, is that profit margins exceed any other concerns, to the point that even death could not convince them to make the changes to their company culture. The cycle of errors came to a complete pause, on the evening of April 20, 2010 when a “serious of explosions rocked the Deepwater Horizon, a mobile offshore drilling rig operated by BP in the Gulf of Mexico” according to (Roberto Pg.1) and one that saw a serious of catastrophically events, that would change the lives of many. That fateful night under the cover of darkness, eleven people died and several other encountered injuries that required medical attention and rescue. This occurred as direct fault of equipment, when the blowout preventer failed. The device is designed...

Because of the company regulation, the employees in the company must wear safety glasses to avoid accident no matter what the department they are in and how their experience is.

...against injustice, or people like Steve Jobs and Walt Disney took huge financial risks to follow their dreams. Courage ranges from physical strength to mental stamina. There are probably more kinds and examples of courage than what I'm going to talk about,but I'm just going to touch on a few. The first kind of courage is overcoming fear,so you can do what needs to be done. It could be something as small as overcoming the fear of speaking in public. Whatever your fear, it will take courage to face that fear. Fear of failure kept me from going back to school and furthering my education. Finally,at age thirty-eight, I overcame my fear and returned to school. I regret not doing it sooner. Nelson Mendela once said” I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”( qtd. Mandela) People feel fear all the time; for instance, soldiers and police officers are terrified at times, but they chose to be heroic anyway. I’m sure Martin Luther King was scared,but he stood up for what he believed and eventually was murdered for it. If you are afraid of fear then fear has won, and it has power over you. It took courage for me to leave a...

...crafting different items out of raw materials. I remember when I took woodshop and welding class at high school and I enjoyed how I had the opportunity to create and sculpt items. That’s why I feel becoming a welding technician would be great for me. Welders are needed all over the world, its like you have endless work . Welders are in high demand they‘re need for everything when it comes to manufacturing. It just sounds like everything i'm looking for in a career. The reason I chose this profession was because I’m a hands on kind of guy. I like to get my hands dirty. Ever since I was a little kid, I was always dismantling things around the house. I stayed in trouble with my mom. As I become older, I started to notice that I was pretty good with my hands. My mom was always asking me to repair things around the house, like the dvd player or the lawn mower or just odd jobs around the house. But what really interested me in the welding job was my welding class. I had a teacher named Mr. Green who taught us the safety procedures, proper clothing to wear and welding using the basic methods. I found the class very interesting, We created tables, chairs, and a barbeque pit and even statues from raw metals. This class really made me want to become welding technician. Based on my personality assessment from type focus, my personality type is “introversion, intuition, thinking and perceiving”. This is based of the results from type focus. The characteristics required for...

... Abstract Does fire prevention need to be taught before you get formal education to put out the fire? Once you know how and why it started can that make a difference in how you go about teaching fire prevention or even to put out the fire. This is a different way to think about fire prevention that has to be looked into to find out if this is a better way. Engineering, Education and Enforcement have worked for now maybe it’s time to change the The Three E’s around and make education the most important. The Job of Fire Prevention The implementation of the fire bureau has led to better enforcement of life safety codes and inspections to help prevent fires from happening. There have been many instances in history that show how fire prevention could have saved lives. What has to be done to reinvent the idea of fire prevention? How many fire departments do fire prevention every day, my guess would be not many. Fire prevention should be taught every week not just during fire prevention week for the idea to help prevent fires from happening. The U.S. population has the mentality that fires only happen to others and not me and if it does I am insured attitude(Hensler, 2011). Some firefighters receive their training on fire prevention on the job, but does that mean they are being taught by someone who has had formal training or was that person taught on the job. The efforts to change the culture of the fire service from a suppression mindset to a safety mindset are...

...important to me would have to be job security, relationship with co-workers, safety with in the work place, compensation / pay, and benefits. Job security Job security is important to me so that I can avoid any financial problems in this bad economy that we are living in. Even if we are unsatisfied with our job we have to continue with it. This does not mean do a poor job because this is not a job that you would have chosen. Ultimately most that are unhappy with a job could say that happiness comes only when your needs are fulfilled and priorities are met. My priorities would be paying my bills and providing for my family. Relationship with Co-workers My relationship with my co-workers is important to me because if I am going to spend most of my time with them then I need to be able to work with them. I want to know can they help me get the job done. Are they lazy? Do they work with an attitude? Will I enjoy being around them? We need to be able to work together as a team to get the job done correctly and efficiently. Sometimes we find that work can be a little overwhelming. Having a friend at work will allow us to open up during stressful times. By having a relationship with people within the work place it would allow us to celebrate our work-related victories, such as promotions, pay raises, and retirement. Workplace accomplishments can turn into memorable experiences with a group of friends at your side. Safety I feel more comfortable in a place where safety is a top priority...

...Eric Rolenz Mrs. Derksen English 100 31 October 2012 Keeping People Safe: Gun Safety There I was, holding it in my hands. The black plastic stock felt good in my hands, and the trigger was smooth. I had just won my first BB gun at a Pheasants Forever banquet the day before, and was now holding it ready to take aim at the pop cans my dad had set up for me. Before he allowed me to load it he explained to me how to use it correctly. He said to me, “Always have the safety on until you are ready to shoot, and keep you finger off of the trigger. Now pull the bolt back and place a BB in the chamber. Pump the forearm 10 times. Aim down the sight and place the front sight in the middle of the V of the rear sight. Make sure it is level across. Push the safety off and slowly squeeze the trigger.” I had just shot a gun for the first time. On that day I learned how to shoot a gun, be safe, and also respect the gun for what it can do. Over the years, I have learned from my dad and numerous friends how to shoot a gun. Shooting a gun is easy once a person learns how to shoot one. Being accurate on the other hand takes practice, and the shooter must keep practicing in order to stay proficient. Every detail from how a person holds it to how they pull the trigger comes into play when trying to be accurate. To hold a gun correctly, one must use either their left or right hand to hold right behind the trigger. The thumb wraps around the top of the stock while the other fingers...

...This research paper goes through twelve different articles that report on different types of trainings that companies and human resources departments can offer. They range from new hire orientation, leadership training, health and safety, mentoring and coaching, apprenticeship, and cultural trainings. O’Toole said to have the employees say “I am welcomed, therefore I belong.” All before the employees left there orientation. The human resources management is one of the most important jobs in the company. They’re responsible for all the managerial activities and tasks. One of the many things the human resources management department is in charge of is training. There are many different trainings such as new hire orientation, leadership, health and safety, mentoring and couching, apprenticeship and cultural. New hire training often called new employee orientation can get costly especially if the company has a high turnover rate. According to Brain Benton (2014) there are six reasons why untrained employees can end up costing the company more money than trained ones. The first reason being that when companies have untrained employees they’re usually unhappy employees. If employees don’t feel satisfied with their training it’s going to affect their performance. The second is that untrained employees have a low production value. Workers could have lower quality performance then they should. The third reason being that untrained employees are inefficient. It takes them longer to...
