IE 419 - HW #6 "A Dangerous Business." (Ethics and Societal Concern) The videotape, "A Dangerous Business", shows the dangerous conditions and management practices existing in McWane Foundries. This will serve as good transition from productivity to safety and the need for OSHA. Comment on the situation by answering the following questions: 1) Do you think management practices regarding productivity overriding worker safety are justifiable? Why or why not? 2) Do you think OSHA safety regulations and penalties are severe enough if an employer wishes to disregard the laws? 3) Should the penalties stop at mere fines or should someone in top management (e.g. plant manager) personally serve prison time for repeated, willful violations resulting in the death of one of his/her employees? 4) If you were an industrial and/or safety engineer in a McWane plant, what would you do, especially if repeated requests for money/authorization to make changes to the plant manager went unheeded
