Weekly Case Study 2
The moral dilemma is the conflicting beliefs about the safety of the workers. The inspector puts violation tags on the faulty construction equipment because he does not want any of the workers to get injured on the job. The construction manager orders the tags to be removed because he does not want the project to be delayed. The construction manager did not believe that what was wrong with the equipment was serious enough for violation tags. Factual inquiries
would be the severity of the faulty construction equipment, the safety regulations that are being violated, what could occur from using the faulty equipment, and the project's impact if it was delayed. Two options for solving this dilemma are for the inspector to insist on keeping the tags on the equipment and following the safety regulations. The inspector and manager look at the issue to figure out how severe it is. The safety of the workers is obligatory, especially if the equipment could cause serious injuries. The most important part is balancing the safety concerns and the project's needs. The moral part is putting the safety of the workers as a top priority.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…
