Someone Solve part d,e and f just write it in 4 to 5 lines.

d. I was having an informal lunch-time chat with Steve, a 60-year-old worker at a

recycled oil and solvent refining company where I was evaluating the exhaust

ventilation system. He had recently been told in a personal medical that he

had early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). He wondered whether he was at

risk for faster CKD progression because of his continuing work with solvents. And

he was also worried that if he told his employer about his kidney deficiency, he

might be forced into early retirement.

I knew that poor kidney function was sometimes related to solvent exposures,

but I was unsure at that time what exposure concentrations might be safe or

harmful for Steve, in his situation, and I told him all that. Steve thanked me, but

then asked me not to tell anyone about his problem. I spoke to you in

confidence, he said. Ill just take my chances. Dont worry about it.

What would you do in these circumstances? What is the ethical thing to do?

e. The International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) Code of

Ethics states that the purpose of occupational health is to serve the

health and well-being of workers.

But did I do the right thing? Did I handle the ethical problem in the

best way? You can probably think of several different ways of handling

it with potentially equal or better outcomes.

f. Wernher von Braun (1912-1977) is famous for being the creator of the

space programme that made it possible to put the first person on the

moon on 20th July 1969. In the 1930s Von Braun was involved in

developing rockets for the German army. In 1937 he joined Hitlers

National Socialist Party. Later he explained that he had been forced to

join that party and that he had never participated in any political

activities, a matter that is historically disputed.

Wernher von Brauns belief must have been: "In times of war, a man has

to stand up for his country, as a combat soldier as a scientist or as an

engineer, regardless of whether or not he agrees with the policy his

government is pursuing."

With which model of dealing with the tension between the reponsibility

of a company and the professional responsibility does Von Brauns belief

correspond?
