Focus on a fictitious, publicly traded company named Global Energy Services, Inc. that provides oil to three states. This organization is facing significant challenges in a number of areas: 1) With the price of oil falling and revenues negatively impacted, the company is at risk of not meeting the shareholder expectations for the next quarter and perhaps even the year; 2) An EPA report on a lucrative oil drilling field in one of the states indicates that the fresh water supply may be contaminated and must be remediated immediately; 3) Organizational changes to reduce expenses and pay for the water supply cleanup will almost certainly require headcount reduction affecting employee morale and further reducing staff to work on the other issues. The rumor mill is already active with concerns about layoffs and budget reductions.

Provide a one page summary of recommendations to the organization’s board of directors regarding the following issues:
• How to balance the performance objective of revenue growth and increased market share
• Remediating the costly environmental issue caused by the company
• Addressing the hard decision to downsize at a critical time
The summary can be bullet points or narrative but must clearly:
• Identify the priority order of social (people), economic (profit), and environmental (planet) focus.
• Address two steps you propose for your area relative to balancing the need to address the environmental issue while considering company growth and employee concerns.
It is possible that your proposed solutions may even encompass a holistic approach that serves all focus areas at once.

The industrial plant where you work is expanding its operations and building a facility that will employ 200 new workers. Management has tasked you with creating a training program for the new workers. They want you to investigate a specific hazard or safety topic and create a PowerPoint presentation explaining the hazard/topic and how you will handle training the employees. Choose one of the following hazards/topics and prepare a PowerPoint presentation for management:

hearing protection;
the use of half-mask air purifying respirators (APRs);
lock-out/tag-out of a hydraulic press; or
HazCom for a location that just uses acetone, toluene, and isopropyl alcohol.
As part of this scenario, you are free to include additional details about the hazard/topic you choose. For instance, if you choose hearing protection, you can include information about the manufacturing equipment and the decibel levels in the area. Include the following components in your PowerPoint presentation.

Evaluate the hazard, and discuss any regulations pertaining to the hazard/environment.
Explain any additional hazard abatement strategies and safety and health management strategies that were taken to mitigate the effects of the hazard (e.g., substitution, engineering controls).
Prepare a brief description of steps you will take to involve the students in the training.
Discuss if you will use any hands-on training and how you will perform the hands-on training if you use it.
Create two slides that you will use in your actual training program with employees. Explain these to management to convince them that the training is beneficial.
Discuss how managers will play a role in the effectiveness of training and how leadership is necessary to help get employee buy-in for the training.
Discuss how you will evaluate the effectiveness of the training.
Use the speaker notes section to explain the material that you present on each of the slides.
