Problem
Re-Read the Welcome Message from the Global Power Tools CEO. As displayed, there have been several safety incidents, near misses, accidents, and injuries.
In addition, Global Power Tools has made the news again. According to OSHA officials, the company ignored both the safety officials who had studied its operation and employees who complained of work-related wrist and back injuries. OSHA has proposed $1.4 million in fines and also said the Global Power Tools has failed to accurately report and record employee injuries and illnesses.
The proposed fines came after an OSHA investigation found a high rate of back and wrist injuries among the company's 570 power tools-division employees. In particular, employees were found to be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, a wrist ailment caused by repetitive motion that injures nerve endings in the wrist and hand. OSHA said that in 26 of 50 cases of carpal syndrome, employees underwent surgery.
Although Global Power Tools has developed a tracking system of all injuries, issues, and accidents, it appears as though many complaints are being ignored or not reported. What do you suggest to fix these issues? Limit to one page and an external source is not needed.
