Workplace Safety
The
Chesapeake Chicken plant employs 5,000 workers in Thailand. People come from all over the country to work
at this plant. Chesapeake is known for hiring illegal aliens to work at the
plant, but this has never been proven. You have been hired by Chesapeake
Chicken and work in the Health and Safety Department. You’ve noticed that
accident reports have increased from 25 annually to 200. During your investigation, you discover that
machinery is broken and/or is not working properly. In some cases there are no
safety guards. During interviews, you learn that workers have been afraid to
report these problems for fear they would not make production quotas, or that
they might be terminated. You also find out that some workers who were hurt did
not document their accidents and continued working regardless of the
accident.What kind of checks and balances can an internal Health and Safety
Division put in place in order to prevent this from happening again?
