Campus Food Service Case Study

Case Study:
A student is asked to "minimize" accidents in a campus kitchen and that her grade depends on it. She was asked to glaze over accidents involving employee injuries and some OSHA issues. Provide examples that support why this student should not intentionally lie about these safety and health issues that were clearly violated.

The report should include three focal points on why proper reporting of accidents is warranted: avoiding potential lawsuits, government audits by agencies such as the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) may result in fines if accidents are inaccurately documented and due diligence in providing a safe work environment for employees - providing benefits due if an accident does occur. The solution clearly explains each of these points and how they benefit both the campus, as the employer, and the student employees.
