Professor: Franco Spraggins

As an employee I fear for my life at this company with all this dust blowing in the air. I don’t know what to do? There are so many things that I should be doing about this but I don’t know if I will be risking my job or going to get someone else in trouble? Do I have the right to report this situation to someone else? I believe that I would risk my job just to save my life with many other lives. I would have to report it to either OSHA or the owner. If the owner does not do anything then I would be forced to risk my job. We should not be working in this kind of condition. There are laws about these dangerous conditions that we are working in. It is corporate responsibility

It would be wrong to not call in on this company because it is messing with the employee’s health. By not calling in on this company means that this company does not have any organized culture. It does not really care what happens to the company.
The possible consequence if I were to report this company would be either losing my job and be labeled as something that I am not. I want to help save jobs and lives and not be labeled as a whistleblower. I am trying to save the company and am not trying to get them in any trouble. I just want them to do the right thing and have someone come in and clean the company or work together as a team and clean it ourselves.
The possible consequences that could happen if I fail to report the work place conditions are numerous. First there could be a horrible factory fire! Many lives could be affected if it is not reported and brought to the company’s attention. If I don’t report this then it would be against any morals that I have. I would feel like it is my fault even though it is not in any way my fault. This company should have standards and should stand up for the company. They wouldn’t be in so much trouble if they kept up with their responsibilities in the first

    A second situational hazard was the ankle-deep coal dust on the mine ground. This is a situational hazard because proper clean-up procedures were not utilized, therefore, causing the working environment to be unsafe. Oil rags and oil spills were not cleaned up on a regular basis at Morragh. There were reports of oil rags being left underground, and oil spills not being cleaned up. This poor house keeping caused the underground working environment to be unsafe. Management at Morragh mine did not acknowledge their occupational health and safety committee.

    There are lots of terrible conditions we have in the coalmine. We work in a room which is surrounded with clouds of coal dust. We inhale coal dust all day and because of this, we suffer from asthma and other respiratory conditions. We suffer from hearing impairments because of the noise coming from the grinding machine. We are not allowed to wear gloves because our boss thinks that we could better handle slick materials and so we could work faster. The slates that we remove are very sharp so we often have our fingers cut. If we were caught wearing gloves or did not do our job right our boss would beat us, smack us with a club or throw rocks at our finger. Some of us would have their fingers amputated by the fast moving belts. The new ones would develop blood finger tips. We also suffer from red tips. This is caused by sulfuric acid from the coal. The most brutal one is when we breaker boys move among the machinery, some boys became caught under the conveyor belts which makes some boys lose their feet, hands arms, or legs and even such accidents happens the production continues even if someone is crashed to death. The bodies will be only retrieved at the end of the workday. Sometimes, a boy would fall…

    I am a manager of MBI computers in Canada. Like any other computer companies, we have placed our factories abroad for lowing cost. I found that our company is using illegal child labour in dangerous working conditions for our manufacturing line in Mexico through classified documents of MBI computers.

    If I was an employee at this establishment and I saw this situation occurring and knew it was not being properly reported as instructed I would (without hesitation) report it immediately. I would report this so the business could recover or not lose any further losses, not be involved or be blamed for any involvement when and if the situation was to ever come into question, and to get rid of the dishonest and unethical coworkers. If asked to take a “spill” for the team I would not respond or acknowledge that the question was even asked. This was I would not have any implication or be questioned as to why or why not I would or wouldn’t take the “spill”.…
