Question 1

How do managers reduce unsafe acts through selection?
◦ rotate employees through different positions within the organization
◦ respond to employee suggestions to improve possible problem areas
◦ offer monetary incentives to employee teams with low accident rates
◦ identify traits linked to job accidents and screen candidates for such traits

Question 2

Thermo is a plastic supply and custom fabrication company. Thermo serves clients in the medical, solar, and semiconductor industries by making acrylic and polycarbonate sheets, tubes, and rods. The company employs approximately 500 workers at its facility in Ohio. Safety is a top priority at Thermo, and supervisors are required to conduct daily inspections of all equipment. Recently, three workers were seriously injured by a large press used to mold plastic parts. The workers spent time in the hospital for hand injuries, and they are currently recuperating at home. As a result, top management is evaluating all aspects of safety at the facility to determine what changes need to be made.

Which of the following, if TRUE, best supports the argument that Thermo supervisors need additional training in OSHA standards?
◦ The three workers were working overtime during an evening shift at Thermo, and only one of them had extensive experience using the press.
◦ None of the injured Thermo workers was wearing personal protective equipment because the high temperatures in the facility made the PPE very uncomfortable.
◦ Thermo conducts air sampling on a weekly basis as part of its industrial hygiene program, and the firm has never been cited for poor air quality.
◦ The safety gate had been removed from the press to bypass a safety interlock, and the gate was not replaced prior to the three workers using the machine during their morning shift at Thermo.
