Chapter 1.43 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 91-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Jeff is a newly appointed safety officer at a small manufacturing company. The company has experienced a significant increase in workplace injuries over the past several years that are driving up its loss experience and its corresponding workers’ compensation insurance premiums. Jeff has worked for the organization for twelve years and has served as a lead manufacturing team member for the past five years. His new responsibilities for workplace safety represent an additional assignment to his manufacturing duties in the plant.
