Perfect Plastics Incorporated (PPI) is a small injection molding plastics company that
employs 50 people. The company is 10 years old, has a healthy balance sheet, and does about
$4 million a year in sales. The company has a good safety record, and the insurance company
that has PPI’s liability policy has not had to pay any claims to employees for several years.
There have been no major injuries of any kind since the company began. Tom Griffin, the
owner, takes great pride in the interior design and working conditions at PPI. He describes the
interior of the plant as being like a hospital compared with his competitors. Order, efficiency,
and cleanliness are top priorities at PPI. It is a remarkably well-organized manufacturing
company. PPI has a unique approach to guaranteeing safe working conditions. Each year,
management brings in outside consultants from the insurance industry and the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to audit the plant for unsafe conditions. Each year,
the inspections reveal a variety of concerns, which are then addressed through new equipment,
repairs, and changed work-flow designs. Although the inspectors continue to find
opportunities for improvement, the overall safety improves each year. The attorneys for PPI
are very opposed to the company’s approach to safety. The lawyers are vehemently against
the procedure of having outside auditors. If a lawsuit were to be brought against PPI, the
attorneys argue that any previous issues could be used as evidence of a historical pattern and
knowledge of unsafe conditions. In effect, the audits that PPI conducts voluntarily could be
used by plaintiffs to strengthen a case against the company. The president and management
recognize the potential downside of outside audits, but they point out that the periodic
reviews are critical to the ongoing improvement of the safety of everyone in the plant. The
purpose of the audits is to make the shop a secure place, and that is what has occurred.
Management also points out that PPI employees have responded positively to the audits and
to the changes that result.
Questions
2. Which ethical perspective best describes PPI’s approach to safety issues? Would you say
PPI takes a utilitarian-, duty-, or virtue-based approach?
3. Regarding safety issues, how does management see its responsibilities toward its
employees? How do the attorneys see their responsibilities toward PPI?
