Rosa recently issued a reminder to her employees about non-smoking areas. She reminded them about the dangers of smoking in the warehouse vicinity where highly flammable and combustible materials are stored. She also reminded them about the small fire that broke out in the warehouse several years ago. She explained that smoking areas are designated outside the buildings for use during breaks. For several weeks after the reminder, Justin noticed the smell of cigarette smoke every time he went out to the warehouse. He also noticed that Tami makes an unusual number of daily trips out to the warehouse area. He knows she is a smoker but never sees her use the designated smoking areas. Justin decided to ask Tami why she never used the break area outside. She told him its too cold out there in the winter and too hot in the summer. Justin enjoys working with Tami and she is valued employee, but he's concerned about his safety at work. What should Justin do?
I think Justin should tell Rosa what is going on because it is very dangerous and someone could get hurt. I know it would be tough for Justin but its the best thing to do because its not only his safety but the other employees safety. If she doesn't want to go to the smoking areas she either needs to quite smoking or needs to find another job where she can smoke because its not fair she is endangering the others.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Justin I would inform Rosa about Tami and her problem. She can not be smoking in areas that are not designated for smoking. She is putting herself, her job, and everyone else at risk. The building could catch on fire and everyone is at a high risk then. The company would not look very good then if a building burned down because of a careless employee.
ReplyDeleteI think he should tell his boss because it is a safety hazard and there is still is a chance that something could happen and some on may or may not get hurt. It may be hard to do because she is her friend but the longer he waits the more of a chance there is for something to happen or someone to get hurt.
ReplyDeleteWhat Rosa is doing in really dangerous so if I were Justin I would immediately seek help whether it is going to the boss or handling the situation myself. Rosa should not be smoking around anything marked as flammable. Even if it is cold or hot she should bear the weather since she was the one that made the choice to smoke in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI think that she should tell her that if shes going to keep smoking in the ware house shes going to burn everything down then the place will close the down then she will not have a job then she will live on the streets just because of one little cigaret.
